We did get a chance to see a lot different arms in pressure situations. All in all a good weekend for the Horns. As long as Witt isn’t anything serious, all is well.

thegreatbambino Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 UCLA is a solid team and they were bound to lose eventually. Now it’s time to see how the team responds to a loss, got 2 with Texas St and a weekend series with South Carolina this week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lhornfan Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Imagine having a 1 run lead with 1 out in the bottom of the 9th and being so concerned about giving up a hit you walk the bases loaded. And the waving bye from the pitcher after the strikeout was BS. Concerned that we didn’t score a run after the 4th inning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red90fly Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Texas beats Texas State tonight in a wild game 9-8. Didn't realize Texas State was currently ranked #17 and 10-2 on the year. Just took 2/3 this past weekend at Arizona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He definitely shouldn't have walked the bases loaded and he was getting an earful from their student section. Finally reached in his pocket and found his stones to close it out. Bent but didn't break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also didn't like the fact that we weren't challenging their hitters with bases empty or a man on first. It was a cold night, and the ball was not traveling like normal. The weak ground ball that allowed a force play to 3rd was a savior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was getting frustrated that he couldn't throw a strike. Let your defense do the work. It was weird to see Nixon struggle that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAFan11 Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 It was weird that all of the pitchers struggled to throw strikes last night. I listened on the radio call and Way and Zonk made it sound like the strike zone was more hitter friendly. Which would make more sense than our best bullpen guys just couldn’t throw a strike. Pierce and Allen both had conversations with the plate umpire. I think state got a hometown friendly umpire behind the plate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustAFan11 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Texas St got there revenge last night, winning 6-4 in Austin. The bobcats really wanted this game for RPI purposes to boost their resume. They move to 11-3 with the win. These are good midweek games for Texas. David Pierce was ejected late in this one for arguing balls and strikes. Texas takes on South Carolina in Columbia this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge loss Texas probably still has the best starting pitching in the country but they become more human and adds a little more pressure on Hansen and Stevens to pitch well and eat up more innings on Friday and Saturday nights.

Hookemhorns88 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Texas still has the horses to make a run to Omaha. May be a bit of a mental hurdle for a bit but they will recover. Bigger issue is with Pierce and his base running “aggressiveness”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PelvisPresley Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 missing too many contested layups (point blank shots) because of getting horrible position on the court...moving w/o the ball, getting themselves up under/behind the basket...too often faking and then going straight up rather than jumping out into the lane while turning to use your body somewhat as a shield. sorry y'all, I'm starting to rant... I'm already going to have to clean up a mess in my office (I spiked my 1/2 eaten fried fish basket into the trash with such disgust that crap flew all over the place) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETXfan16 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I gave up on Texas basketball a long time ago. Not saying I don't watch or cheer, but my expectations have always been really low for this program. Chris Beard's team has been infuriating to watch. They are abysmal on offense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
