Playing Texas Southern going into the top of the 2nd. State ahead 1-0.
Keegan’s in... didn’t think we’d see him tonight. We must feel JT is 100%
Keegan is the prince of the throwing 8 pitches to a batter before walking him. Cole Gordon is the king
Don't need to screw around and drop this one...would be a rpi killa
Their pitcher is throwing 79-82 mph fastballs.Quote:

Nothing like walking a guy who is 1 for freaking 32 on the year
He picked him off though. Nothing like scoring 1 run against a pitcher whose fastball is 79-82...Quote:

We are sleep walking through this game.
Embarrassing at bats.
We are letting BP fastball after BP fastball go by and then getting down 0-2, 1-2 almost every at bat.
Man I hope we don't lose this game
It's part of it w him. No point in complaining about it.Quote:

This is a game where we need to put all starters in the game. **** this lineup. Put Skelton in put your regulars in and put someone we trust in as a reliever. Nip this shit in the bud.
Don’t you think the pitcher knows Mangum swings at everything? He’s the one who could take a few and wait for his pitch.Quote:

Damn y’all. We are gonna have a few ugly mid week game. This ain’t the first we’ve had by the way. I’m calling a big inning upcoming
He's hitting 400..... so maybe he's ok.... it's who he is. He's gotten better about not swinging at as many balls. But if it's a strike he's swinging. He's got the best bat control I've ever seen. He squares up more than anyone in the league. I'll give him a passQuote:

They’ve seen him enough to adjust. This is the 4th time through the order.Quote:

Need to get on him here and at least win this one 4 or 5 to 1 but our batting has sucked tonight.
I agree with Matt they should have just looked off speed all night knowing they could hit the fastball. His curve ball is as fast as his fastball.
3rd time through correct? About to be the 4th ....Quote:

You can berate me all you want and it won’t change the fact that it’s ****ing 1-1 going to the 8th.Quote:

That loss might be the difference between them hosting and being a 2 seed. Trust me it hurts. That loss LSU had to Southern will hurt their ass too.Quote:

I'm not berating you. It was just a bad baseball comment. And it's baseball. Game isn't over either. But carry on w your meltQuote:
