****Offical Texas Baseball Thread****

More pitch count whining.

Pitch counts are lose and TJs are up in the last 20 years.

Weird.
Tommy John surgeries up because kids are playing year round at a young age way more than they were 25 to 30 years ago. That wear and tear adds up over time. Also the average velocity of a fastball is up almost 5 MPH from where it was 20 years ago.
 
Bill Russell once said the 2 best words in sports were game 7. Now this isn't game 7 but it is win or go home and needless to say there's a lot at steak here.

Darrell Royal once said that sports doesn't build character or eliminates the week ones. Tonight well see who steps up.

Just 3 1/2 hours to go before the first pitch.

Maybe stop that grift then and stop whining about pitch counts.

Nobody limits the catcher or SS

Since when are the catcher and SS fully exerting all their energy into 100+ throws a game lol. SS and catchers arent throwing breaking balls either. Just because guys threw 150+ pitches a night back in the day doesn’t mean that was the right thing to do. There’s tons of medical data available today that wasn’t available back then.

I just know if that was my son and he had a professional career likely ahead of him I’m not letting him throw almost 400 pitches in a 7 day span.

SS and catchers play every game. They throw in between innings, in practice, etc. Their arms get plenty of work. Also, Since when does every pitcher throw max effort every pitch? You know some guys pitch and not just throw the **** out of the ball right?

All I know is I’d trust my 4 year player, 22 year old son to know his arm.
 
We are throwing beach balls up there. This game looks like it's done.
 
Again. Offense gets you 3 to tie it. And you come out and throw 4 straight balls. Bitch mentality
Close these guys out. They're reeling. Right now, we are la cucaracha. We are the turd that won't flush. Every time they pull away we yank them back. Stanford is ready to fold. You've got one hand around their throat. Get two around them and choke these mother fvckers out.
 
We have had 2 bullsh!t fvcking calls in this game. What a crock of mother fvcking donkey balls sh!t bag goat fvcking finger popping assholed cvnt rags.
