The ball is in the mitt at this point also. Hard to believe that Bear didn't continue swiping fast until he hit something.

His arm is great but his bat is even better.

I'm of the opinion that our guys are to the polar opposite of this. Oftentimes I wish they were a bit more "homerish"…

100%, Boomer hates on the Aggies all game when he's in the booth!!

cannot make out #3 at home plate

Yeah, this is where I'm at too. You're down 3 runs, why send him? Next guy gets a base knock and you are only down 1. Scouting report should have told you guy in right has a cannon.

This kid is a rare talent. Imagine if he was playing running back for us. Or middle linebacker. But why risk injury? I think he is a legit lock for mlb.

Used to drive to Halletsville for the Lavaca County Courthouse Christmas lights from Schulenburg. Good times.

Seeing an MLB level baseball talent nineteen years old gives me faith in humanity. Glad he's playing for ATM also. Regardless, rooting for this young man is easy. Well done young man, family and village of origin. Can see it all on the field.

Wow, dramatic much?

You guys need to toughen up, you're taking it pretty damn personally, announcers do that all the time they'll look at it and call it a way and then be like wow I'm surprised. Happens in the pros and college all the time. There wasn't anything unprofessional about that. They seemed like two earnest guys that were doing their job and we're Florida announcers.

My God you guys just need to concentrate more on the game. If that is the worst announcing you've heard all year I don't know what the hell you're watching.

Some of you go from emotions of wonderful baseball, our players are fantastic to basically spitting on players and announcers. Try to find a more even keel you'll be happier in the long run. I promise you. Life is just too damn short to get this upset over two guys who were very complementary to A&M the whole time.

That's the last I'll say about it but seriously there's a lot more important things in life than getting upset about announcers that weren't even that bad.

Try to enjoy the games more. No one plays perfect ball. No one.

I have No problem with the announcers being biased. They just went a little long for me.

You sound pretty dramatic yourself. Imagine defending that absolute bush league crew.

Dude

Are you messing with us. We do remember all your posts on the game thread Friday when we lost. You know like you stating over and over their pitcher was getting lucky. It's interesting you lecturing in this area when you have shown you cannot post well when we lose.

I wonder if the UF announcers are still crying about it


They were just advocating for their team and they thought maybe he was safe. We would've done the same thing. Get off the damn announcers. It was a great game. We were always leading. This was a great throw and he was called out.


I still cringe every time I recall those idiots slobbering all over "Cags" from a few years ago.

If they said Cags once, they said it a thousand times

Im not sure what to say if you can't hear the difference in "regular bias" of home team annoyncers versus the over the top bias these guys displayed. Why do you care so much that we want to focus on it for just a second?

Worst announcing ive heard all year? Maybe, maybe not - bottom half for sure. Most biased announcing? Yes, by a large margin.

Nobody is taking it personally, but ridiculing these guys before we move on to the next series is perfectly warranted.
Hey...so.. um

They didn't take away from my enjoyment of the game and certainly didn't upset me, but my opinion is those guys were pretty bad.

People like to knock Will and Boomer but I like them. Mild homerism that often looks like the opposite. Similar to Aikman calling Cowboys games.

They sure were talking about it long after it happened. "But what if he had scored there?" Uh, yeah, he didn't.

The biggest indictment of their conspiracy theory was the runner gave no protest, he knew he was out. He just got up and headed to the dugout dejected.

Unless Bear just completely whiffed then runner was out by a mile.



I don't know about a mile, but if you stop the video at the right point, you'll see C receive the throw before the runner start the slide. The pic pretty much shows that the C with the ball has far less of a distance to go to make the tag than the runner does to reach the plate at approximately the same speed/rate.

Fantastic play, but it drives me crazy that guys reach for the sliding runner. You know where he has to go. Catch that ball and make sure he has no way to reach the plate, don't reach out for his shoulder/hip. Put your body and that glove in the dirt next to home plate and give him no path but through your glove. Once you have the ball, you own that area. Swipe tags at home are a pet peeve.

You tag up there 100% of the time and get the run 99%. That throw was the epic 1% that results in an out, but was absolutely the right call to send the runner

FriscoKid said:

You can't tell from this angle but the glove looks close to his face too. If he didn't get the face head then it's almost impossible to miss the shoulder. Doesn't really matter now.


I'm glad he was out it looked like to me you can see the mitt move when hitting his shoulder before his hand is touching or over the plate. It always makes the play much harder if the runner goes in feet first especially in this case you could slide on the right side of the plate to hit with your left hand. I also did not see the on deck hitter letting the runner know what to do.

I think if we argue about opposing team's baseball announcers a bit more today, all our lives will be enriched. we'll fulfill our true purpose, and society will advance

Eveeyone is talking about Jorian's throw... and it was special. But we have maybe the best catcher in the country right now that took that throw and did his job beautifully. And add to that he is an absolute stud behind the plate every game.

He had a great series at the plate also. Shout out to Bear also!

Probably has to do with the rule a out obstruction. Maybe taught to tag that way to avoid it being a question.

Others are starting to notice what we are seeing.....

It's WAY, WAY, WAY, WAY, early but people are starting to use the all-time great comps like Jr for his swing and Winfield and/or Parker for his arm.

We can all see the insane talent potential.

Going to be fun to watch his development.


BTW - Not only did this throw eliminate the scoring threat late in that game, it probably saves 3 or 4 runs later this season because scouting reports are all going to say "DO NOT TEST THIS GROWN ASS MAN'S ARM"

I thought it was amazing that we had Grahovic and Sorrell in the same freshman class two rears ago, but Partida and Wilson are pretty much their equals it seems.
