Is the ESPN+ feed working for anyone?

Nope

Just now came on but no audio

 

[SanditeCowboy]

Is the score correct?

 

[Northwoods Cowboy]

Is the score correct?

Yes. 2 hole hit a HR in the Oppo RF Gap

 

[Northwoods Cowboy]

I’m tired of griping about our actual play. So now, I think I’ll gripe about our uniforms.

Does anyone else feel like the quality of our uniforms get a little bit worse every year? Almost the same design year to year, but I don’t feel like they pop like they used to.

I know Ole Miss is also Nike and their fans are having this gripe with their powder blues.

 

[Northwoods Cowboy]

I think listening to TH gets worse every year, also.

 

[Cowboy4life9688]

Conover dumbass base running continues…Thompson with a bunt single and he tries to advance to third and gets thrown out

 

[H2Orange]

I think listening to TH gets worse every year, also.

Tom is just being a dad. He shouldn’t have been hired in the first place because he can’t be objective. He probably works cheap, so we keep him around to make excuses.

 

[ST2]

Tom needs to talk a lot less. Getting pretty monotonous and repetitive, and really getting on my nerves tonight.

Let Hunziker call the game and lead the conversation.

 

[ostate77]

Runner at third and two pathetic AB’s to end the inning.

 

[Chairman of the Board]

Wentworth gets to third and Bowen and Conover both strike out.

 

[Chairman of the Board]

bases FOC 1 out B5

Indomenico Ks swinging, another awful AB.

Bruegge 2RBI double to LCF. He's hitting .420 with RISP!

Wentworth Ks swinging, my goodness not even close

4-2

Good AB by Brugge, then another pitiful AB with runners at 2nd and 3rd to end the inning.

You wonder if Wentworth was even paying attention to the pitches the previous batters saw

 

[ostate77]

Both he and Indomenico went up there with no plan whatsoever other than just whack away. Poor coaching.

 

[Edmondcowboy]

And here’s the meltdown.

 

[ostate77]

Poor defense and pitching about to spit the bit.

Just bad baseball.

 

[Northwoods Cowboy]

Afraid this just is not a good baseball team.
