Texas at Kansas State April 14-16, 2022

We're about to lose a series to a team that had one conference win before this weekend. If something doesn't change fast, the OSU and WVU series may do us in.
 
Costly throwing error by Faltine. Blew a potential double play to end the inning. Run scores.
 
Fantastic fielding there by Silas. Bunt down third base line fielded by Silas who stopped the man on third from coming in. Then Silas gunned down the batter at first.
 
After Tristan’s early struggles, he settled in and pitched pretty well. Not sure why we pulled him with a fairly low pitch count and a man on first.

Biggest problems this weekend are the errors :cursing2::cursing2::cursing2:, that and some cold bats.

And here comes Stewart with some nasty stuff (but with some nasty control to go with it…)

Stewart may be the future, but he’s had a rocky Freshman year thus far.
 
Fly out. Man tags to score. For those who care, that was a good 30 feet from a trip to Denny’s for a grand slam.

8-1 them.
 
Got him swinging on a breaking pitch. The bottom dropped out of it at the plate. On to the ninth.

I know Stewart’s control has been an issue, and (aside from Tommy John) that’s about the worst possible issue for a college pitcher to have. But when he throws that slider/breaking thing where the bottom just drops out of it right at the plate—it’s a thing of beauty. When he’s on, Stewart’s stuff is literally even nastier than Nixon’s. And he’s got velocity. Somebody, please work with him on his control!!! He could be an absolute monster on the mound someday. Yeah, potential means you ain’t done it yet, but this young man has potential as big as Texas.

Now here’s one I didn’t expect to type at the start of this series:

If Gordon has a good outing tomorrow, maybe we can avoid being swept.

o_Oo_Oo_O
 
Don't know what happened with this team.

1. The #1 ranking, to me, was a bad start - too easy for players to believe the hype.

2. Losing Tanner was a huge blow to the pitching staff.

3. Did Melendez go into South Carolina locker room? if so, Pierce should've suspended him to send a message. Don't know if it really happened.

4. The backup catcher swig against Tx State. Have no words for this one.

5. Tech Game 1 - A RH college pitcher let a runner steal home on him and NEVER saw it happen.

I wish Augie was here to blast into this team.

Don't know if Pierce is the guy to right the ship.

I road the Sky Tram at DFW with a dude decked out in KSU gear that same year. I was wearing an orange polo. He starts his conversation with 'I hate Texas, everything about it.' I ask him why he's here. He replies 'Not the state, the school. I hate your school.' I tell him that I honestly never think about Kansas State. Not until gametime. KSU just never crosses my mind. He waits until his stop and says 'Tuck Fexas' on his way out the door.

Refresh my recollection please. What are the details on #3? Was Ivan purportedly going in there to gloat? To talk to an old friend? To say congrats? To pick a fight?

Some people / fans from other teams need a boogeyman - a team to hate. I have stated to friends and fans for 50 years, UT is the equivalent to the NY Yankees. Virtually everyone enjoys hating on us and appreciates others that do.

I could speculate a lot of adjectives why we are hated, but we both know 'em and it is pointless.
