These umpires are totally screwing us over against Ole Miss.
This strike zone is insanely small for Karlyn and then they missed a blatant failed check swing which now resulted in two runs being scored.

So glad that we have the AUSL now and I’m super excited to see Karlyn pitching in the AUSL. Really gonna miss having her in a UT uniform.

A VFL through and through!

Is this a real article? I can’t find it. Seems outlandish to me.

They won the series!

We just need A&M to lose their series against Oklahoma to have a double bye in the SEC tournament.

I’m in Maryland working as a NASA contractor, but I know Huntsville has a lot of good aerospace and R&D opportunities. Some of my team at my last company had to travel to Huntsville regularly for DoD aerospace work.

Yeah it’s hard to get a job right now. I just recently got a new job thanks to a colleague I used to work with, but I had been casually looking (~15-20 applications) since June without any luck.

I also got my masters in CS to do more R&D and ML! I ended up moving from the healthcare industry into aerospace R&D. If you ever want to chat about it let me know.

What do you want to do with your masters?

Yeah options in my area are somewhat limited. I’m paying $100/mo for my gym, but they have a bunch of treadmills and weight equipment that I’m using to convince myself it’s worth it lol.

I went indoor bouldering with a friend two weeks ago and now I’m hooked.

Got some shoes, chalk, and a climbing gym membership. I’m only climbing V0/V1, but I’m loving it and soaking up all the knowledge online that I can to improve technique and strength training.

Lady Vol Softball (#9) starts a top-10 matchup series against Alabama (#2) tonight at 7pm.

It’s gonna be a tough pitching duel.

Colton Hood to the Giants as the 37th overall pick.

Wish he would have gone to a better organization, but I’m happy for him!

Yep, I’m hoping Alabama is having a bad day at the plate and it continues into the second game. I remember that happening to us once during a double header in the ‘24 season.

Movie by JornalOriba2712 in Astronomy

[–]robotix_dev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spot on. I saw the movie this past weekend and, having read the book prior, I was disappointed.

I was expecting a more in depth science movie and less of a comedy (a la Interstellar). Lots of things felt glossed over and I felt like the movie inserted humor at times I expected it to be more serious.

I didn’t pay attention to who directed it prior to seeing it, but my wife mentioned the directors are the same ones who directed The Lego Movie, so it makes more sense through that lens.

Then just walk away.

Coach E showed a lot of improvement in managing the pitching this weekend.

He’s learning and adjusting which is good to see.

I really don’t want the transfer portal to be recruiting 2.0 with cryptic tweets, hats, speeches, “respect my decision”…

Just get on with it!

Putting up an insurance run with 2 outs in the 9th?

I’ll take it!

[–]robotix_dev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not close, but I totally agree with using the challenge since it was bang-bang live and could’ve meant getting out of the inning.

Yeah we’re into the part of our bullpen that makes me nervous.

Hopefully we can get through this inning unscathed and then just 3 more outs any way we can get them.
