Mendoza was better with his strike zone last time up.

Mendoza sacrifice fly ! 3-2 Texas

Doza does his job. Sacrifice fly to center scores Robbins.

M8: Texas 3, Vanderbilt 2

Sacrifice is good!

First and third with two outs and Schloss brought Earley in to hit for Courville. Ground ball to short and a force at second ended the inning.

Is it Cozart time ?

Sam Cozart is out of the bullpen for Texas.

Texas pulls out the guns in relief to preserve their lead!!  🔫

 

A walk and an RBI double and Vandy has tied the game, 3-3.

I really don't like how Tinney drops his glove when the pitcher goes into his windup.

That’s literally how you are supposed to do it. The bigger issue, IMO, is the setting up down the middle no matter what. He could get more strike calls (and likely provide a better target) by positioning his body where the pitch is intended to go. It puts him at a disadvantage to where his movements are seen far too easily by the umpire (and are distracting). I’m sure there’s a rationale behind it, but I personally don’t like it.

If I needed more of a reason to hate the Spurs…..

Two walks for Borba. Better.

When I grew up playing catcher a long time ago, the catcher's mitt was always the target.  And the catcher would move as desired for the pitch.

If the catcher it's going to make the target disappear in the wind up, why put it up at all???🤔🤔

our hitting in the clutch is putrid lately

This team has become frustrating to watch.

I cannot get the game on ESPN, just the damned NBA!!  🤬🤬🤬

Swing discipline has gone out the window.
