Why is Johnny Ray a weekend Starter? Or a starter at all for that matter?

Surely we have more starting pitcher depth than this?!

Well, it seems like he's not anymore...

Well the lineup we had Sunday isn't going to scare many pitchers. Got to get some of the injured healthy. We do need to get rid of the Sunday blahs.

We had 2 backups hitting .350. Gotta get it done. Especially w/ men on.

Pretty hard to ask a team with 4 sac bunts on the year to bunt in that situation. And two of those sac bunts weren’t even the right thing to do. I can’t recall who was up but I do remember thinking to myself that there was just under a -15% chance we’d attempt to bunt.

I am flabbergasted that is not a bigger part of our O, especially when you play in a park non conducive to HRs and you are attempting to get to a park not conducive to HRs (TD Ameritrade), and a good number of your players have wheels. They should be decent bunters.

You can’t really argue with this team’s approach and offensive strategy-considering their W/L record. BUT, if you watch the pressure Texas put on a really really good TCU defense, I personally believe in incorporating bunting into an offense at the right time. Sunday the score was 5-zip, so you’re already feeling pressure and Texas just applied more pressure with the bunt. PS: David Pearce UT coach is probably a fine human being....but his Joe Madden impersonation pisses me off.
