Austin Regional June 4-6, 2021

[2003TexasGrad]

I agree LHN is more a pain in the ***.

 

[giveemhell]

Looks like a lightning delay for the Southern/Fairfield game (because it's not raining downtown).

 

[p_town_horn]

Still delayed?

Anyone is Austin that can fill us in on the weather and expectations? Sounds like the Horns may not play tonight.

 

[humahuma]

I am not in Austin but radar has storm east of Austin, slow moving.

[giveemhell]

Just to clarify, the Southern/Fairfield game has begun. I posted Del Conte's tweet as a reminder of how the lightning delay rule works.

 

[Horn6721]

What ESPN channel?

 

[giveemhell]

Southern/Fairfield is on ESPN3, the streaming channel. I'm switching between that game and the Okie State game (also on ESPN3) on my Roku device.

 

[Horn6721]

Thanks
That is the only ESPN att does not offer

 

[Fan4life]

LHN now says game will start at 8:10

 

[Chest Rockwell]

Dish Network is only showing it in Standard Def.

 

[George Bailey]

Man, that's an awesome, loud crowd tonight. Just like old times...

 

[Chest Rockwell]

ASU pitcher just turned into Rick Ankiel.

 

[FWHORN]

ASU pitcher completely falls apart and walks four and hits one plus wild pitch in the third. Horns lead 3-0 without a hit and new pitcher coming in.

 

[Phil Elliott]

How the hell are we not running from 3rd on that hit up the middle by faltini?

 

[TexasFight86]

We should be up about 6-0. Williams should’ve scored on the grounder up the middle. We left 2 on 3B earlier

 

[TexasFight86]

And why is Campbell in the game? Hits into DP which Kennedy would’ve been safe on. And a run would’ve scored

 

[TexasFight86]

How stupid are we on the bases?

no clutch batting and bad base running

 

[FWHORN]

ZUBIA


5-0 Horns

 

[TexasFight86]

Well the HR is good. Campbell is another missed run.

 

[Chop]

Zubia had a bit of a slump late season, but he’s come alive lately!

 

[Chop]

We’re lucky to get out of the 5th only giving up one run.

And wild thang on the mound for ASU. 2 hit batters in a row.

 

[Chop]

And in comes ASU’s reliever licking his hand multiple times before each pitch, putting saliva all over the ball, and trying to spitball his way through the inning.

 

[Chop]

And yeah, we’re pretty dumb on the bases.

 

[Chop]

Out of the 6th inning. SO by Ty. But 110 pitches. I’d guess Pierce will probably bring in Cole Q or someone next to bring it on home.

5-1 good guys.

On edit—Witt is in the pen.

 

[Chop]

Yes! The spitballer is out and ASU brings in a reliever with a 6.81 ERA!


Who throws an odd sort of submarine motion pitch.

 

[TexasFight86]

We need more runs. Got another BP pitcher throwing junk. That’s the best plan against a power hitting team. Throw off speed / junk.

Submariners go about 2 innings.
Hope Witt brings his good stuff bc all the Horns will see is junk pitchers. We missed out on so many opportunities early.

 

[Chop]

Yeah Trey!!!

Clutch RBI single to CF.

6-1 Horns.

 

[Chop]

So the quasi-submarine thrower is out, and the stache is in for the new ASU hurler.

College bullpens outside the upper echelon of the Big 12 tend to suck.
