    All of my rage is directed solely towards homestead exempt houses, 2nd homes or investor homes (rentals) should get fucked for the full amount. (I have a rental in Travis and am not complaining about the assessed value there) 

    You don't have a homestead exemption on your primary residence?

    Still pissed that Harrison turned to 3rd on a fucking good bunt and then was late to 1st. That pretty much lost the game right there. 

    While the play should have been to first from the start, through 7 we left 10 on base. 8 in scoring position.

    Can't stand there with the bat on our shoulder watching good pitches go by and then swinging at one in the dirt for strike 3. Crappy at bats and some shoddy base running (AGAIN 🤬) cost us this game.

    Whats the rule?

    It's now in effect (per the WV announcers) with Melindez 3rd HR of the day.....11-0. Shut them down in the bottom half of the inning and we're up 2-0.

  5. Didn't see this posted anywhere, so could be crap, but I heard this weekend that the Bullpen Boozer is back on the team due to lobbying by the pitchers.  If that's true, maybe, just maybe, we ought to lobby them to throw strikes.

    He’s been back at least since the Baylor series…

  6. In line with what has happened lately....

    Finally getting some game hats (and not watermelon sizes) @ the Disch these past weekends. Team is not wearing them so I have given up on getting the road gray, but they have the all burnt orange with the block T, so I go with that. Wearing the old cream and white for this series, this one sits in the truck all weekend. Upon taking it out today and looking at the fit, something is just not right.....

    Really?

    Yep, the Texas flag is not only backwards, but it also upside down. (wondering if I was just lucky or if they were ALL subjected to the same quality control. 🤬

    ...last pic is how it's supposed to look)

    Forget a private pitching coach. 12 perfect months from March 28 means he ain’t starting any games for Texas in ‘23, period. 

    I wrote this a month ago also. Got lots of push back on here from the Holiday Inn surgeons and pitching gurus. With the dumpster fire going on now, and worse, NO solutions apparently from DP or SA, WHY would he come back? 

    (And for the record, I'd LOVE to have him back, it just ain't happening)

    Do you actually think Witt is pitching here next year? I mean give me a baseline before I respond to your 2nd post. If I'm Witt I'm rehabbing, throwing for scouts, cashing a huge check and trying to hit the show in a few years

    I said and posted exactly this ^ to him over a month ago and got the same response....you just gotta let it go.

  9. Yesterday and today was by far the most embarrassing Texas Baseball I have ever witnessed. And I have been going to games since Clark Field. Total ass kicking (plus getting baked by the sun) yesterday and now today's bullshit implosion. Sean Allen NEEDS to be gone. Obviously he is not doing anything.

    Nope haha turned 29 last month. My first memory at the Disch was, I think, an alumni game in ‘99 or ‘00. I remember bits and pieces of Texas baseball from 97ish to ‘01, but my true first memory was in 02. Went to a couple of the regional games and through some family friends, my parents and I actually got to go to the Streets house after the supers in 02 for a small team party before they headed to Omaha. At 9 years old I’m there playing HORSE with Curtis Thigpen and Huston. I actually beat Thigpen though since I was half their age they were letting me play at half the distance. Of course the dudes could fucking shoot too. In the fall of 06, Thigpen, Cox, Maroul, Seth Johnston, Buck Cody and I know I’m forgetting one or two, put on a small “national champs camp” at the fields behind Chuys. 2 straight weekends was out with those dudes playing ball with em. Hahaha Matt Holliday actually showed up the first weekend. They were talking up how he went yard against Maddux last season and my dad asked if the wind was blowing out haha Curtis Thigpen then let my dad use his first base glove to warm up with me. My dad gives it back and tells him “hey I fucked with the laces some, hope it’s no big deal…” the look on Thigpens face was gold. Just an awesome couple of weekends. 

    But yeah I lived the Augie era to start of my fandom. And the Barnes and Mack era. The last decade plus has certainly humbled me some. Hence my over the top optimism at times. I grew up with us firing on a cylinders in everything. Like a lot of us, the last decade has been shocking to me, but my exact age group was born into gold then basically immediately got the Great Depression once it was our time to be hammered in Omaha and at the Rose Bowl. I remember thinking the ‘06-‘08 baseball seasons and ‘07 football season were like as bad as it can get. Little did I know….

    Ok bored Wednesday night rant over. For now 

    Yes, just a tad spoiled. Great times in the early 2000s.

    I was spoiled in the late 60's and early 70's only to see dark times in the mid/late 80's, with just samplings of great through the 90's. And those were lean years with aggy cheating their asses off with Jackie. Deserved the death penalty but the NCAA wouldn't dare do it again after SMU. Too bad. 

    As much as I would like to be winning in all sports, lean years (decades?) make it much more special. I remember being at the Disch last year when we needed to win, plus get miracle help in Kansas. It happened. Being there with the team, the fans slowly realizing what had/was happening, made it truly special. As a graduate or t-shirt fan, you live for that. 🤘
