    Witt coming out. Nixon coming in from the pen.

    George Bailey No beans in my chili, thank you

    Lose two straight batters with 0-2 counts. Crap indeed.

    I think Pierce left Ty in too long tonight and should have probably trotted Nixon out to start the 9th. Now they are bringing him in with 2 on and no outs...

    Man I wish I was in the middle of that obnoxious crowd in FW tonight decked out in Burnt Orange. Would probably need to make sure my friends had plenty of bail money.

    Fair enough. I wasn't in front of a computer when Madden was pitching- was driving my kid home from Purdue. The Witt move to start the 9th was reasonable, he had been rock solid to close the 7th and 8th. But if you view this game as a must-win to start the series you bring in your closer.

    Nixon has been the man for the last few months.

    Nixon lit up those TCU batters in the ninth, like he was dropping bombs on Cambodia or something...

    I stood up for the eighth inning. For the ninth inning I was sitting down but on the edge of my seat. After the two strikeouts I started to stand up and then I said no this is working sit down.

    Witt is a 6 out pitcher. David left Witt too long. I called that before the 9th started. Put Nixon against the wall, which he does frequently, in the meat of the order.
    Butttt Nixon is a phenom..stud etc
    Lots of game balls tonight..Go Horns!!

    My amateur opinions on our top relievers*:

    Cole Q. - solid, if not spectacular, and good for quite a few innings/strong middle-middle/late relief

    Witt - stud, but don't keep him in for too long

    Nixon - total stud as a closer; has future MLB closer written all over him
    :arrow-up::arrow-up:
    (And he's just a Freshman!:yikes:)



    *Note, while Hansen has been used in relief before, I count him as a starter--one of our best.

    Well, that adjusted my Saturday plans.

    No cleaning out one of the storage units
    No sight seeing at HEB

    Just Whataburger biscuit & sausage for breakfast with Dr Pepper and sit back, watch baseball & see if the new medication helps with this vicious reaction to the Pfizer shot

    I love that roster pic of Nixon because that is what he ALWAYS looks like. Ive never seen him smile during a game.

    I was OK with leaving Witt in to start the 9th, but I woulda pulled him after he walked the leadoff.

    Yeah. Witt was hitting on all cylinders, and then he just seemed to run out of gas.

    In defense of Pierce, he is thinking series, and not this game.

    We would be in better shape if Witt could have closed it out and kept Nixon totally fresh.

    However, I wanted Nixon after the lead off got on.

    We won game 1 and Madden was better than his last two starts.

    How ‘bout them ‘Horns!!!!!
