  1. So any explanation for Jalin at 3rd and Powell at DH?
  2. Guy I used to work with in Washington, his nephew was one of them. Played SS for them a few years back.
  3. There has been a lengthly discussion on this matter if you go to the WV game thread... last couple of pages.
  4. But they also state we'll have to perform good in Arlington or that could go away.... (includes farmers as 3 seed in ATX)
  5. User 3oh4 apparently got an epiphany this weekend...spouting spit and vinegar with "only steers and queers from Texas" on the 19th, to taking an "extended break from WVU sports" yesterday. 🤣
  6. All this discussion about which pitcher is starting game one in a regional (hopefully) at home is mute unless we win at least 2 or more in the B12 tourney. May need more wins to just host. I don't believe we need to win it , but we do need a good showing or we'll be a #2 and traveling. And that is a double edge sword as playing longer takes up some time that could be used for rest and healing before Regionals start.
  7. Without looking at numbers and just by attitude alone, (especially Shugart) was the way that that staff pitched. Shugart pitched with a chip on his shoulder and seemed to want the ball in tough situations. Not picking on the guys from this year, but I haven't seen that attitude from this years pen.
  8. So simple to think of it this way. The old regionals and CWS was a game of survival and attrition that you put up with once you got into that situation, but you first had to get there. Gus always talked about this when getting into those scenarios. You have to REMAIN in the WINNERS bracket or it will catch up to you. TLDR/... Just look at this weekend with WV's strategy and it blowing up big time.
  9. Nice seeing Jalin showing some power yesterday too...
  10. TX Baseball posted theirs last night and it is easier to just embed this one than mine....Get your Horns Up! 🤘 https://twitter.com/TexasBaseball/status/1660105817268396035?s=20
  11. I wanted to take that stupid fuckers bet when he spouted that dumb shit statement at the beginning of the year, but I quit Betting on things that I have no control (sports) of looooong ago… WINNERS please post about your + money [emoji383] on this stupid fucking bet [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
  12. The world treats WINNERS different than losers…. [emoji471]
  13. Cool thing was the Big 12 Trophy was presented to the team while WV was getting their pep talk in LF after being swept [emoji3472][emoji23][emoji869][emoji869]
  14. How can you not LOVE THIS GAME and especially UT BASEBALL [emoji461]️??? On my phone right now so I’ll try and and show a video of the EYES from the team in left field later… Fuckin’ HOOK EM!!! [emoji869][emoji869]
  15. LBJ!! Dylan Campbell!! We play for a Big 12 Championship tomorrow!! Be there assholes!! [emoji869][emoji869]
  16. Most likely ^. We didn't face any of their usual top arms last night. They need one win out of two and have them for tonight and tomorrow for the conference and top seed. Our guys just need to play loose and realize tomorrow doesn't matter until taking care of business tonight. Hopefully the crowd shows up also. Definitely makes a difference.
  17. But but, NOT A CULT! Always shake my head at the BS actions of this video clip. Typical CS Barney Fife goes after the SMU cheerleader and NOT the guy trying to impale another with the sword.
  18. We have probably one of (if the not the easiest) field in all of college baseball to maintain with weather. A tarp over the mound and also in the bullpens, that's pretty much it. And during the last game that it needed a tarp, the grounds crew was Tanner and 2 other players. They had dry unis on 10 minutes later. Back when the field was still astroturf and we had dirt around the bases, pear burners (propane torches) would be used after rainstorms to dry the dirt around the bags. During the the 93 Regional against USC (Aaron Boone was their 3rd baseman) torches were needed after a squall moved thru and dumped a couple of inches in a matter of a 1/2 hr....The whole USC team had their cameras out taking pics while they were using the torches. Fun Fact of that Regional... After the rain moved thru the temp dropped from a scorching 95 to a very pleasant 74. Texas was down 2-1 in the 9th and needed to win to avoid a winner take all 2nd game (Championship) against USC. With 2 men on, someone hit a pretty routine ground ball to Boone but it hit one of the seams of the turf and bounced over his left shoulder allowing the winning runs to score and Texas went to Omaha again. 🤘 Gus stated after the game that he was already thinking of his lineup for game 2 when that hit went over Boone's shoulder.
  19. Clickbait....pretty much it. Creates conversation and subscriptions.
  20. Hate him at games...Especially the Disch. Somebody on the site here sold me a single game ticket to WV football game a few years back and it turns out I sat by number of Mountaineer alum that had gotten together for the weekend. Before the game even started, one turned to me and said "What's up with strip club PA announcer?" I about spit my beer out on the guy in front of me.
