You do know that you must rotate your box to the correct angle, right?

Above the knees and across the plate. Yes, they call that a strike.

Celebrating LSU losing one game to Little Rock before winning the Regional, after going 0-2 vs UTSA in your Regional at home, further proves that UTrans fans are no different than Aggy

Y’all try to hide it but even Hellen Keller can see it


I realize you're a racist retard but I've made no excuses about losing to UTSA. Show me where I did?

Hate to say it, but that's just baseball.


IDK how Jim Schlossnagle manages pitching rosters for tournaments but Jay has a clear pattern. He throws his best pitchers (like everyone) to get into the winners bracket then he will throw the bottom of the bullpen in potentially the penultimate game, and if they win, then great. If not, the best of the bullpen is available for the elimination game.

it wasn't his best job for sure. Ever since we lost our ace for the season he's been trying to work magic and create a serviceable rotation but we just didn't have the arms.
I came away really impressed with UTSA. They reminded me of our teams with Augie. Very disciplined team.
Hopefully he'll "encourage" a few of Pierce's guys to portal. This team is lacking talent. He has his work cut out for him.

I haven’t had much problem with Schloss’s quick hook most of the season but it backfired in the 1-0 game. Harrison wasn’t getting shelled, he was getting soft grounders and being fricked by our defense. Up 6-3. Schloss pulled him and our next two guys got hit hard and UTSA put this team out of its misery from there.

I don't believe there is a college team that could overcome this. If Tennessee lost Doyle they would be screwed too. If LSU lost Anderson, they would be screwed. Losing your ace is a big blow.

Flores was terrible this series. Hard to believe he's the best we have at that position.

Yes. You realize the photo is from far to the right and not directly behind the pitcher, right?

The catcher was set up outside off the plate and had to reach for the ball on the inner half


1. Pitch was not even close to “inner half,” Kim.
2. Most times when a pitcher misses the target that bad, the ump will not call a strike.

Blue fricked Little Rock all night long and the smart LSU fans would be happy to acknowledge that.


Confirmation bias.

They were calling the pitch in the OP a strike all night. LSU had guys called out looking on that pitch.

IMO, the zone was also a little lower than normal and top of the zone pitches weren't being called.

As with EVERY PITCH, including those thrown by ARKY pitchers.... it typically comes down to the framing job by the catcher.

In this case, with your perfectly paused view... this is a strike all day. Pretty sure Little Rock had some JUST LIKE THAT and they got the call.

The home plate umpires after game 1 were just plain bad and inconsistent. Last night Evans threw 2 pitches back to back. It was the same pitch, same movement, and damn near the exact same location. One was called a ball and one was a strike. The pitch that was a little lower and a little further to the right of the plate was called a strike.

strike zones seem to change with every game and ump. I have no problem with it as long as they are consistent with those calls

It's called a parallax distortion. It's a strike.

Don't worry about the nword* guy. He will reveal himself again and get banned for another year...and then beg to come back to shitepost.
You're good people HinH. You and BigBro have been good additions here... unlike some of your other brethren.
