    Chased the second pitcher, so far the plan is working out.
  2. TrouperG
    It was scored a wild pitch. I do wonder how many passed balls Tinney has this year.
  3. TrouperG
    And their starter is out. It sucks he got hurt but it bodes well for the rest of the series having Ole Miss go to the bullpen in the second.

    I'm here, don't make me regret it..... The only thing I will say about Tinney is he's our starting catcher which means he touches the ball more than anyone else on the team and defensively he's been more than serviceable. If you bench him, you could destroy any confidence and then you've got one option at catcher. Plus he is a top NIL earner on the team, but this isn't the majors, you can't structure performance into the contracts, at least I don't think you can YET. We don't need his bat right now as well as everyone else is swinging it so any Manager/Coach worth a damn is going to keep him in the lineup. If you move him to eighth they might pitch around him but he does get on base. He also has the fewest at bats for a Longhorn starter because of the Walks with Pack having Fewer because they've been keeping Duplantier engaged. Temo has as many at bats because he scares the crap out of pitchers at this point with his trademark three run homers.

    How many times have you seen an SEC team mow down all comers in a season and then get bounced in a Regional. This team, like all teams, needs to grow throughout the season, that's a lot easier to do when your flaws get exposed and you have to face adversity so hopefully this is the good adversity that leads to growth. I liked watching them win 16 in a row, but even I started hoping for a loss. And JMarquette, there was supposedly this great bat on the team last year named Will Gasparino, who slumped and spiraled, so much so that he transferred to UCLA where he is knocking the cover off the ball. Weird s*** happens in a baseball season.

    He's a good catcher with power, so I disagree unless Ermis is hitting well at practice.

    Need Tinney to gain some confidence here.
  8. TrouperG
    Boys don't make me get the hose.
  9. TrouperG
    Got him on, now get him over and in
  10. TrouperG
    Alright, Pack, end this thing.
  11. TrouperG
    God I like Becerra
  12. TrouperG
    Welp, guess not.
  13. TrouperG
    Just need A-rod to get on base, with Pack and Becerra coming up I'm confident
  14. TrouperG
    Yeah and knowing my wife, she'd also figure out a way to spend the 2.7 mil, but she might complain less.
  15. TrouperG
    A. Tinney will be alright, he's seeing pitches, he will get there. B. I said a few weeks back that Temo was becoming my favorite portal addition. It's paying off. C. Just for funsies. This team is F%$&in' Fun to watch.

    People have been getting upset about the Duplantier substitutions but he's a good player who has put in his time and is going to be needed with Jonah's injury issues.
  17. TrouperG
    Got the Texas State staff shook, emptying out the bullpen, this last inning and a half is going to take forever.
  18. TrouperG
    Borba's got pop, doesn't alway hit for average, but plenty of power.
  19. TrouperG
    Attaboy A-Rod, really drove that one on a first pitch.
  20. TrouperG
    I hope those calves aren't photo-shopped, good lord.
  21. TrouperG
    Yeah the first 3 or 4 innings the goal is to see pitches and communicate with teammates to get the pitch count up to chase the starter from the game. There have been a lot of fireworks in the middle innings against bullpen pitching. Weekends series are always going to have an attrition component and Texas is winning that game. I now see why DyVo is the Sunday starter and hopefully he will be able to improve command over later innings, RR is pitching unconscious right now. This team has as good of a chance to go all the way as any team in the country.
  22. TrouperG
    If you watch them they aren't a finished product which is probably most exciting. Some big bats have yet to get going and there are plenty of bench players contributing. We will start to find out about them in SEC play but you can't argue with 15-0 even against the competition. Just ask LSU.
  23. TrouperG
    I was thinking base knock, not grand slam. I hit the submit button on the comment a split second before I heard the radio call. Broken Clocks and Blind Squirrels.
  24. TrouperG
    Pack could end it here
  25. TrouperG
    Grubbs has been a bit disappointing for me this season but it's early, hoping he has some better outings.
