I thought there was a rule against trucking the catcher now?

 

I think Hallmark was arguing for obstruction, not whether or not Galvan dropped the ball.

Try soft hit grounders

I was taught as a catcher to block the plate if possible while playing the throw.

The play is confirmed. It's an RBU double for Gruell and Lytle is retired on a 7-6-2 putout to end the inning.

Schloss treated this like a Tuesday night game.  Bad move.  This team has won 45 games.

Blowing a 6-1 lead at home hurts.  Let’s hope they pull it together on offense

Where's Gerry? Time to gird up your loins.

Obstruction in baseball is like targeting in football. Nobody really knows what it constitutes.

The catcher has to be able to make a play.

Them losing that challenge is the first positive we have had in a few innings.

We threw Harrison and have used our best receivers. We are trotting out an inept 2B and now Flores is struggling.

You're probably as old as me. That's not the deal any longer.

 

Is UTSA to baseball what Maryland was to football??

We've got a fight in the stands. The police/security are on the first-base concourse.

Hopefully we have another pitcher warming up

Well, gonna have to get it back.

I don't think that's the case. I think the defense has been abysmal and the offense hasn't taken advantage of enough opportunities. 

M6: UTSA 8, Texas 6

Schuessler leads off the bottom of the sixth with a walk.

Winning is hard

Getting base runners has not been our problem. Got to score runs here

UTSA is a scrappy bunch who aren't the least bit intimidated playing big bad Texas

UTSA is making a pitching change. They're going with their ace, Braylon Owens.
