Hoping Tony will finally learn when to pull a pitcher

It’s been 7 years and it’s still his biggest blind spot.

It’s his biggest blind spot as a coach. It cost us Omaha in 2022.

Tony needs to cut the crap tomorrow. Put the Friday lineup back out there and flip Villanueve and Burke in the lineup.

 

[tnvols72]

Tn lost this game because of leaving runners on and cant hit the ball

 

[BP4Prez]

little bit of mismanagement tonight.

Agreed. But Drieling needs to make that play in left too

 

[Bigvalley84]

Frank loves that slider and we’ve left too many of those right down the middle

 

[rockytop36]

This one is on Tony, left combs in prob 2 batters too many, I would have thought about Evan’s unless he is unavailable but still gone to a seasoned arm

Well he still got us there 2 out of the last 3 years. He’s alright in my book.

Its really the only reason I dont think they will win it all with him as a coach.. Too many times where he just tries to trust his guys and needs to look at what is actually happening. Instead, he definitely just let that freshman take a huge shot to his confidence in his debut

You don’t have to win every game. It would be insane to try to with how young we are. They need this playing time.

 

[LordVOLdemort]

Ok, let’s just come back. 5 run frame here. We’ve done it before

 

[spyfish007]

Finally the bad half inning is over

 

[theroyz71]

We need a 5 run homer. Lol

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

5-1 Sooners. Live to kick ass another day.

 

[931Vol]

Fair

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Horrible loss

 

[rockytop36]

There’s a hit

 

[TheBigOne10]

Horrible loss

The ending and some of the missed opportunities, yes. Losing to Oklahoma, no. Overreaction.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Tony don't mess with the the lineup

I disagree, Tony is an elite coach.

I disagree, Tony is an elite coach.

He may be, but I just dont think "elite" coaches do some of the things he does

 

[Volfan39]

Second game of the season. No one should be panicking right now. Long season and plenty of things to work on

 

[Christian Lowe]

1 out
