Texas vs WVU Game 1 Thread ***Friday 6 PM CST***

[Johnstark23]

Word coming out that WVU was teeing off on French early because they had someone? stealing signs. I'm not 100% certain of this, but it is being discussed.

IF that's the case, I'd be surprised if we didn't tear them a new one on Sat/Sun.

EDIT: I don't know for certain if it was a WVU player/coach/staffer, or what. Could've been anyone I suppose. But that's pretty much Bush League.

That gets your lead off guy killed the next day

You shut up John. He took them to the playoffs...twice!

Forgive me

And I'm sure that was probably part of the reason you saw the fire out of French.

It's not illegal, but it's sort of an unspoken gentlemen's agreement type thing.

well, yes and no. A runner on 2nd looks in and the catcher flashes multiple signs to keep him from signaling the batter. 3rd base coaches change signals all the time for fear of stealing. That's why I asked how they were doing it.

Not sure street.

like all sports there's cheating and there's CHEATING. Either way, tomorrow have the catcher drop 2 fingers and then throw heat under the batter's chin .

Actually, the plunk sign is merely the middle finger. Level 1 from my C son. Ha!

WV was stealing signs last year and Barrera got pissed behind the plate. Both benches cleared if I remember correctly.

you want them looking and leaning thinking a curve is coming then buzz the tower. That'll cure them from thinking they know what's coming.

I remember some bad blood. Was that the issue?

Yep.  Along with the fact that the WVU fans around the Texas bullpen were over the top with some of their antics.

No matter.  Tomorrow and Sunday should be anything but emotionless games.  :lol:

Just a baby faced freshman...doesn't look like he ever needed to shave yet! But he got

a game winning hit for the Texas Longhorn Baseball Team...he's a MAN now in my book!

Macalla told us last night, "I've never bought shaving cream in my life."
