It’s crazy that he’s a D1 ball player and can’t.

He's hardly the only one

Gagreed

[Machinator 32097]

Elder back out.

[GreenspointTexas 9353]

Holy shit leadoff walk with a hbp. Fuck me

[Machinator 32097]

Hits him on the first pitch.

[Horny Bull 2743]

Why the fuck...

[Machinator 32097]

Pierce yanks him immediately. But why bring him back out?

[WBT 20131]

Elder back out and hits the leadoff batter

[Fozzz 152]

The fuck Pierce?

[Levi 2565]

Pierce what are you doin man? It shouldn’t take a hit by pitch on the first batter to get to this point. 

[dcar00 13861]

what the fuck.  Elder is at 107.  if you get Kam up let him start the inning.  bad move by pierce there.  not sure if Kam feels better from the stretch but you just put him in a tougher situation.  ugh.

Pierce doesn't seem to like to give our relievers clean innings.

Hell of a night for Elder.

[Firemans4Horn 16852]

Maybe you use your closer at the start of an inning?

[AustinHorn 57]

Helluva job Bryce

8 innings of shutout baseball. I have no issue with Pierce riding the arm that was dealing. Pitch count was elevated but it didn't impact Elder last inning.

I bet Bryce talked him into that...dammit.

[Cairn Horn88 8034]

Nip it...in the bud.

[Valmy77 12519]

He did the same thing with Elder against Louisiana. I guess he wants to give him a shot at a CG shutout.

[jw4381 3042]

Thanks gentlemen!

Gave him the opportunity for a complete game.

[Machinator 32097]

95 on the gun for Kam.

the problem is if it doesn't work you put Kam in a higher leverage situation and he has to pitch from the stretch.  he knows it was a mistake because he pulled him right away.  shit happens.  hopefully Kam can close it out.

[Levi 2565]

I wouldn’t mind maybe bringing Bryce back out if he faced the bottom of the lineup but that’s not the case. We have the meat of the order up with man on first now.

What's cute about it? TCU hasn't been able to hit Elder all night.

Our bullpen has issues throwing strikes sometimes. I don't think he trusts them in these spots yet. He stuck with the guy that was finding the zone. 

[Cairn Horn88 8034]

Throw strikes!

[Valmy77 12519]

Uh oh

[Firemans4Horn 16852]

Not a good start

[Machinator 32097]

Kam walks the next batter.

[Cairn Horn88 8034]

Schliss to bunt?

then he should have stuck with Elder even though he hit the leadoff guy with the first pitch.  he made a mistake.  its OK to admit it.  gonna need a miracle to win this now after the walk.

[Cairn Horn88 8034]

No time for a rally.

Wild pitch moves runners to second and third.

There’s the ball in the dirt that Fields has to throw at least once
