Quick note on the TCU series

[Matt Cotcher]

Ty Culbreth is scheduled to start on Saturday for the 2nd week in a row. Tough spot to cut your teeth on being a starting pitcher.

 

[Royal 60]

Pitching isn't my concern------THE BIG question is will we hit the ball!!!! I am not convinced we will.

 

[dillohorn]

UT will need more than 3 runs per game.

 

[GBT]

We will need to hold TCU under 3 runs to win. That may not be enough.

 

[Donald Boyles]

Kacy Clemens will miss his reagular start with arm soreness..

 

[GBT]

This team is snake bit. Losing Clemens on a weekend against the best team in the conference...SMH

Yes, TCU is the best. They are only behind because they are a weekend behind in actual games played.

Weather will play a role as well.

 

[Aaron Carrara]

Huge series for Texas this weekend in Cowtown. Leaving with a series win would do wonders for this team's psyche.

we need to go up to the plate aggressive as hell.  screw small ball this series.  three runs, hell!  screw that noise.  we need 8 eight runs.  each game.

if you see a good pitch, hit it, don't wait for a walk.  let's try something different from the usual wait around and chip away and hope for a picket fence.  we need to change the offensive paradigm for this club.

 i want us to go on the attack.  hit, steal, hit and run, butcher boy, whatever it takes.  no waiting around.  no called third strikes.  swing early and often.

charge ahead, boys.  attack!  if the umps screw up.......call'em out.        i want augie to get run at least once for pissing on the umps foot.    :angry:  

it's time to take back baseball.  its our birthright here.  screw the cockroaches.

JMO, as usual.

a month ago you said the only reason Clemens was pitching was daddy's money. He's come a long way I guess.

 

[GBT]

Thats been our problem...Swinging at everything instead of being patient.

 

[GBT]

I'm more concerned about losing him at first base and at the plate, but losing a pitcher the way we go through them isn't good no matter who it is. Must admit Clemens has looked MUCH better than he did back then.

General Patton, is that you?

 

[armadillo slim]

General Patton, is that you?

hah.

yeah.  let's change it up.  let's try a couple of games where we throw caution to the wind.  attack at every opportunity.

damn the torpedos, full speed ahead!

 

[GBT]

Small ball is fine...Its just the execution that has sucked.

 

[Worster1]

Horn bats need to come alive this series. No prisoners vs. the toads!!!

Hook 'Em!

 

[armadillo slim]

Small ball ain't working

The execution has sucked all year. Time to change it up.

 

[armadillo slim]

This conversation reminds me of an old john McKay story, the legendary USC coach.

After one particularly bad performance a sportswriter asked the old coach what he thought of his team's execution and he said he thought it was a good idea 😊
