Texas vs Miss st 6 pm Sunday

[LHABSOB]

This is comical. Glad I don’t live and die by Texas Sports like I used to.

 

[Phil Elliott]

What I see is guys with their eyes to the outfield when swinging thru. We are not keeping our head down. How can this happen at this level?

 

[Giovanni Jones]

 

[LHABSOB]

Yeah!!!! We popped out!! Progress!!!

 

[ViperHorn]

15 through 6. February in Arlington evidently wasn't a fluke.

 

[das3603]

Unreal. Madden has been awesome but it's been all for naught to this point. We still have 3 innings to make some noise but there has been no signs of hope to this point.

 

[Pomspoms]

I noticed we are swinging underneath the ball for most of those strikes. This is sickening.

I literally said the same thing a few minutes ago. Swing at a slider for a K and the bat was a good 8" below the ball while his eyes were up. You can't fuggin hit what you can't see.

 

[Vol Horn 4 Life]

What a waste of a really solid start by Madden. He'll get the loss tonight but he doesn't deserve it.

 

[Pomspoms]

Pete rose always kept his head down every time whether he swung at the ball or not

 

[bystander]

Wow... just checked the box score and 15 K's out of 19 batters is amazing. Damn.

Yep. Sometimes it is the batters making the pitcher look good. Pulling the head out makes it pretty hard to hit good pitching. Losing site of the ball too early. It is a common problem with the way kids are taught to swing these days.

 

[Phil Elliott]

Madden with 10 Ks himself. We are just not helping him at the plate AT ALL.

 

[Vol Horn 4 Life]

Ok, we are in the 7th with no one even touching the ball.

Why haven't we bunted yet? Gotta do something different.

In the words of Ben Crenshaw- 'I'm a big believer in fate, I've got a good feeling about the next 2 1/2 innings'.

 

[George Bailey]

Welp. Who is Tennessee's #2 guy? Hope we can hit him...

 

[TexasFight86]

Remember the Arlington? Yes we do and we repeat it.

 

[Vol Horn 4 Life]

RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE AND HE JUST WATCHES IT GO BY!!!!!

This is awful. New pitcher same results. We won't win a game here.

 

[Phil Elliott]

This is not the reason we are losing, but the MSU pitchers are getting strike calls that Madden is not.

 

[theiioftx]

Incredible pitching on both sides. MSU pitcher was simply in a zone.

This not new for Texas. They have sucked at the plate all year and this just amplifies. We have gotten lucky on some games against lesser talent but whomever is the hitting coach needs to move on. Zero adjustments! Come on man!!

 

[Phil Elliott]

20 Ks now by UT batters.

 

[Horn2RunAgain]

piss poor bunt attempt

 

[Horn2RunAgain]

20 Ks now by UT batters.

some of these pitches are hitable

 

[Vol Horn 4 Life]

piss poor bunt attempt

So we wait for 2 outs in the 8th to do this? WTF?

 

[TxnByBirth]

You gotta work really hard to be that bad at the plate.

 

[George Bailey]

I love this team, they've been fun to watch this year. But they simply are not the #2 team in the nation. I'd love to know what the folks that vote are seeing to give them that high a ranking.

 

[nashhorn]

Ugh. 20 K’s is just plain embarrassing. Nothing else to say. Yes good pitching but jeez. Put the bat out there just to make contact. I remember that from a 3 strike count back in HS and trust me I faced some d*** good pitchers.

 

[Phil Elliott]

Im not nearly as ready to throw this team under the bus as some of you guys are.
