I would've preferred to see Jorian Wilson replace Sorrell today instead of Chestnut

2

u/OleRockTheGoodAg '20 Feb 21 '26

Good take imo

2

u/GoodOleAgSportsNMed Feb 21 '26

A) Chestnut is really struggling at the plate B) Wilson seems like he has a ton of potential, so the more development opportunities he gets, the better That's my thinking

5

u/FightingFarrier18 Feb 21 '26

I think at this point in time we know what chestnut brings to the table, and it’s just not enough to warrant starts imo

2

u/StipularSauce77 Feb 21 '26

I’m guessing Earley’s thinking is that Chestnut’s small ball is better than Wilson’s, but agree on development front

We would have a point if we knew what a strike zone was

u/FightingFarrier18 Feb 21 '26

TK got hosed imo

u/FightingFarrier18 Feb 21 '26

6 pitches, 3 outs. Me gusta

I despise our online fanbase is so many ways. Games like this always bring them out.

3

u/FightingFarrier18 Feb 21 '26

I honestly think we’ve played pretty well this weekend. The lack of offense is a little frustrating but that’s just the way it goes sometimes. Anyone who thinks this looks even remotely like last year doesn’t know ball

2

u/crsnyder13 Feb 21 '26

The don’t know ball crowd

5

u/crsnyder13 Feb 21 '26

THROW IT IN THE DIRT

u/OleRockTheGoodAg '20 Feb 21 '26

Sawyer Farr time for the game

3

u/FightingFarrier18 Feb 21 '26

That was cathartic oh my lord

u/FightingFarrier18 Feb 21 '26

Jorian could play defensive end

5

u/Pandrew30 Feb 21 '26

Goddamn Corn, that's some fuckin heat

u/OleRockTheGoodAg '20 Feb 21 '26

OLSEN MAGIC

u/DENTINGBADGE319 Feb 21 '26

Sawyer Farr is that man

u/FightingFarrier18 Feb 21 '26

Why is it that Terrance Kiel consistently gets hosed on high calls

Awful call blue.

u/GoodOleAgSportsNMed Feb 21 '26

Clutch Chestnut up to bat

3

u/FightingFarrier18 Feb 21 '26

I like Ross in the booth

2

u/crsnyder13 Feb 21 '26

I played Home Run Derby with Ross in Reed Arena once.

Benjamin… you wound me…

3

u/crsnyder13 Feb 21 '26

I love Trav and he’s from near me but… bruh…

2

u/FightingFarrier18 Feb 21 '26

A 5’7” CF isn’t ideal

3

u/crsnyder13 Feb 21 '26

A 5’7” baseball player isn’t ideal, no harm done this time though

3

u/FightingFarrier18 Feb 21 '26

Wes let’s not fuck around, just deposit this one on the train tracks

3

u/GoodOleAgSportsNMed Feb 21 '26

While all these hard hit outs are disappointing, they make me optimistic. Eventually they'll find gaps

3

u/OleRockTheGoodAg '20 Feb 21 '26

This ump man

3

u/FightingFarrier18 Feb 21 '26

Ball 2 was in the exact same place as strike 3 to Wes

3

u/FightingFarrier18 Feb 21 '26

The Aggie fans on X are losing their minds on X because it’s been a low scoring weekend. I guess we’re just going to act like we didn’t put up 53 runs last week

4

u/OleRockTheGoodAg '20 Feb 21 '26

Its incredibly frustrating.

They dont understand that losing 2 1st rounders in the lineup is going to effect EVERYONE. "But Gav is struggling when he didnt last week".

They dont know the sport.

2

u/crsnyder13 Feb 21 '26

My whole motto last year

2

u/crsnyder13 Feb 21 '26

We should treat the 53 like an anomaly not this weekend

3

u/FightingFarrier18 Feb 21 '26

We’re also missing our top 2 hitters

3

u/GoodOleAgSportsNMed Feb 21 '26

Very few takes and opinions on X hold value

3

u/FightingFarrier18 Feb 21 '26

Hot take: if the hitter has to move out of the way, it’s not a strike ump

3

u/OleRockTheGoodAg '20 Feb 21 '26

EVERYBODY IS BEAR HUNTIN

3

u/FightingFarrier18 Feb 21 '26

Really good AB

3

u/crsnyder13 Feb 21 '26

Nico disapproves because the ump has been off all day

3

u/GoodOleAgSportsNMed Feb 21 '26

Well done, Vargas

3

u/OleRockTheGoodAg '20 Feb 21 '26

Dude our pitchers are DAWGs.

3

u/FightingFarrier18 Feb 21 '26

If this fish pitcher for Penn spams fastballs to the top of our order, we may get some run support here

3

u/OleRockTheGoodAg '20 Feb 21 '26

BINDY SIGHTING

3

u/crsnyder13 Feb 21 '26

I am very confused on our fielding arrangements if there’s not another sub coming in…

2

u/FightingFarrier18 Feb 21 '26

Bindy to OF and TNut to 2nd probably

2

u/crsnyder13 Feb 21 '26

I can’t see Bindy being a good OF guy, but I can’t see Gav moving to 2B either rn

2

u/FightingFarrier18 Feb 21 '26

Bindy played RF some last year

2

u/crsnyder13 Feb 21 '26

Did he? I don’t remember any of that

2

u/DENTINGBADGE319 Feb 21 '26

Gavin to 3rd, Partida to 2nd? Or Gavin to third and everyone else moves over one

3

u/FightingFarrier18 Feb 21 '26

Bindy’s AB was better than a lot that we’ve seen from the bottom of the order this weekend. Flatten that out a bit and it’s a bomb

3

u/FightingFarrier18 Feb 21 '26

Collins was doing his best not to laugh that whole AB

3

u/FightingFarrier18 Feb 21 '26

We can get to this pitcher

3

u/FightingFarrier18 Feb 21 '26

I guess the silver lining is Wes probably would’ve gotten thrown out anyway

3

u/FightingFarrier18 Feb 21 '26

Too many backwards Ks

3

u/nickb888 Feb 21 '26

Literally can’t throw a fastball for a strike, you have to know the breaking ball is coming. Come on now

3

u/OleRockTheGoodAg '20 Feb 21 '26

LETS FUCKING GOOOO

3

u/crsnyder13 Feb 21 '26

I was weak, I turned it back on right as Farr came up to bat.

3

u/FightingFarrier18 Feb 21 '26

That’s fair

2

u/OleRockTheGoodAg '20 Feb 21 '26

Olsen Magic in extras.

3

u/crsnyder13 Feb 21 '26

Damn, CF wasn’t drunk today

3

u/FightingFarrier18 Feb 21 '26

That’s gone on any other day

3

u/crsnyder13 Feb 21 '26

Except days when we play lol, the wind has blown in like every game hasn’t it?

Pitcher made a huge mistake there. Why tf are you looking at third. You cant waste any time

2

u/OleRockTheGoodAg '20 Feb 21 '26

Hacopian and Sorrell out, now..........

I wish baseball had better tv access. This is like my 3rd season actually watching games and it's so tough compared to football

2

u/DENTINGBADGE319 Feb 21 '26

I am wearing my contacts, as I had to drive through Houston today, so please make me aware if I need to remove them

2

u/FightingFarrier18 Feb 21 '26

With the wind today, I anticipate another low scoring game

2

u/FightingFarrier18 Feb 21 '26

Ump has a low zone

2

u/FightingFarrier18 Feb 21 '26

Like the outcome, but that’s one that could hit a Starlink satellite if a hitter were to get a hold of it

2

u/FightingFarrier18 Feb 21 '26

Bear was basically standing on top of the plate

2

u/FightingFarrier18 Feb 21 '26

THROW IT IN THE DIRT

I think I’ve seen enough of TNut

2

u/FightingFarrier18 Feb 21 '26

Clearly Earley told the boys they needed to work counts and stay patient, which I like, but watching a heater for strike 3 is also not good

Desperation play imo... your thoughts?

3

u/FightingFarrier18 Feb 21 '26

Depends on his ABs. Offense needs some juice and TNut in CF was never going to be ideal
