  1. Try youtube or mlb.com astros for stream
  2. He looked good last night. Even caught a smile on his face when Kimble came out to the mound. Could tell he was feeling it. Hope he continues to improve.
  3. 👍Good thing is we only need 26 more between today against TXST and tomorrow against Vandy to tie that. Then this board can REALLY lose their shit.
  4. You're preaching to the choir brotha. Your last sentence is best. We got caught with our pants down prior to last year's courting of the mercenaries Skenes and White....and yes, we need to get some Marucci money involved or we will be ceding territory (Players) to the programs that back up a dump truck full of cash. Supposedly our NIL for baseball is doing better now ( and there are people here that know more about that than me) but that is another way we are going to have to compete.... have to get them here on campus first. Injuries and an unexplained drop (quit) right now could have affected yesterday, But probably not. Dude last night was dealing/PITCHING. It happens. LBJ did it last yr in Miami, as have countless other UT pitchers before him. UT fans will show up at the Disch for big series and be loud. Gonna have to get used to Tiger and hillbillies from Arky showing up. Like others have hinted, I've already heard through grapevine about some expansion beyond the Yeti Yard in left (which we'll need) City is being a pain about that right now though. Best thing about baseball? You get to play the next day and put the previous game behind you. 🤘
  5. Houston is one of their biggest if not THE BIGGEST city out of state for their alumni. It's one of the main reasons they have always had (even before aggy's 100 yr decision to move SEC) a rivalry ( and trolling) with A&M. They both claim Houston as one of, if not their main recruiting ground. I was surprised too last night by our turn out but it was pretty close to that two yrs ago when wife and I went to the same tourney with them in it. Their fan base travels extremely well, especially to there and here in Austin (HOU-ATX > Red Stick) When we played them here at home in 2019, we had to add extra bleachers at the Disch for that weekend series. They came in ranked #2 and we landed up sweeping them, but then we finished the season at 27-27 🤷‍♂️
  6. In 2022 we went 2-1 beating #17 other UT (Tennessee) 7-2, and then #7 Tigger 6-1 before losing to UCLA on Sunday 5-1 (losing Tanner to TJ) Fell flat in Omaha, 2 and Q.
  7. Not quite 132, but 38 was still alarming. 10 to MissST, 15 to Arky, 13 to Ol Miss Yet we somehow go 50-17 sweeping a home regional and Super for the yr, and one run away (bottom of 9th) from the Championship series in Omaha. Sometimes, that's the way baseball go.
  8. That little check swing seeing eye ground ball might just maybe be a catalyst??? 🤞
  9. Dude QUITTING 🤬 (3 weeks before season starts !) really fucked things up...
  10. There's been stupid shit comments on the Shag/Surl before, but this ranks right up there.
  11. All the whiners (Couch Coaches) leave?
  12. ^^^EXACTLY. They backed up the full of money dump truck for those two(Skenes and White, probably Holman now too). Want better players? TOF is waiting for your donation, ANNNNND, you can designate your money GOES TO the BASEBALL PROGRAM.
  13. We have a senior and 5th yr senior in slumps with TRUE freshman behind them. We lost 4 (?) transfer portals to injury in the fall and a dude that was GUARANTEED to start and play everyday fucking QUIT (!!??). Growing pains boys and girls. We went 25 years from 50 -75 winning in Omaha. Then 83- 2002. Pierce can do some head scratching shit throughout the season but he has had us competitive pretty much every year that he has been here other than 18 (?). Too bad 20 got wiped out cuz that pitching staff had us 14-3 when the season was cancelled. (Madden, Elder, Hansen all doing pretty good at the next level)
  14. Dude.... (gorilla ball bullshit, and an errant pitching change in 09 got them to 7 before us)
  15. Well he was an eye model when he was a kid....
  16. Was waiting for someone to post this.... surprised though that she didn't shove the whole thing in.
  17. PEYTON POWELL!!! Amazing what you can do when you go with the pitch....
  18. He didn't. He wanted to stay in the SEC and of course with the returning talent and MONEY $$$ Tiger has, that's where he went.
  19. Cuz we DIDN'T need him to do more. Good outing for him and then get him out. ALWAYS great to win, but these early tourney games are a test for players and to see where we are as a team.
