Vanderbilt game 3/3/24

[aUTfan]

2 outs though after a close play at 1st

 

[aUTfan]

Pierce better get his butt to work, pitching against cal poly is one thing, pitching against LSU, Tx St and Vandy is a completely different animal. And we still have A&M Tuesday and Texas tech next weekend in Lubbock and we all know how that’s going to be a World Series series for tech.

 

[aUTfan]

Fly ball for the third out but not before Vandy closes the gap more, we still have three full innings to go with only a 4 run lead. Certainly concerning still

 

[aUTfan]

O’Dowd up, strikes out swinging. 11 runs should be plenty to win but Tex st scored 11 runs against us and Vandy is stronger than them so could get interesting.

 

[aUTfan]

Thomas finally gets a hit. A single. 1 on, 1 out.

 

[aUTfan]

Freaking thomas gets caught on the base path for the third time this year. That crap has to stop, too sloppy!!

 

[aUTfan]

This team is sloppy, undisciplined, direct reflection of pierce!!
Powell strikes out to end the top half of the 7th.

 

[aUTfan]

Tumis on the mound.

 

[aUTfan]

Beans the first batter!! No outs!!

 

[aUTfan]

Base hit, runners on the corner.

 

[aUTfan]

Tumis is struggling.

 

[aUTfan]

Single through the left side, scores a run. Pitching change.

 

[George Bailey]

anm and tceh are going to slaughter us.

 

[aUTfan]

11-8. If pierce loses this game, as mentioned earlier, he’s in serious trouble with the next 4 games being tough games.

 

[aUTfan]

Fontenont on the mound.

 

[aUTfan]

I said before this weekend that it doesn’t make or break this season but I’m not seeing improvement. This team looks as bad or worse than last year in his 8th season.

 

[aUTfan]

Geez, and O’Dowd drops the ball covering first on a bunt. We’re done.

 

[aUTfan]

Bases loaded, no outs. It was a good play and good throw by Powell at third on the bunt.

 

[Run Pincher]

O'Dud strikes again.

 

[aUTfan]

And fontneont is down 3-0 already to the next batter, no where to put him.

 

[aUTfan]

Tie ballgame. Triple to the right center field clears the bases.

 

[Run Pincher]

Ugggh!

 

[aUTfan]

I’m done, I’m gonna get out and enjoy the rest of the day.

pierces seat should feel warm. This is unacceptable for a baseball coach in his 8th year. Poor fundamental baseball and it IS HIS RESPONSIBLITY.

pierces seat should feel warm.

After this debacle the pitching staff is in shambles. I'm not going to disagree with you.

 

[FWHORN]

Yesterday and today have been an absolute nightmare from the entire pitching staff and just absurd fielding errors haven’t helped. This is reminiscent of the basketball team’s back to back losses to WVA and UCF headed into 6 straight games against ranked opponents that sure made it seem like that team was done. Hopefully this team can find a way to turn it around because the schedule is not kind the next few weeks.

 

[Chop]

We found another way to grasp defeat from the jaws of victory.

Forgettable tournament.

The pitching must show up a lot better against Tech. They can bat.

 

[giveemhell]

Thanks for the play-by-play, aUTfan, but this was a painful game (and weekend)

 

[WJHorn]

Somebody remind me - who is our new pitching coach this year?

 

[Phil Elliott]

Calls for Pierces head starting in 3.2.1...

Calls for Pierces head starting in 3.2.1...

Just the pitching coach, not the head coach.
