[ChemHORN]

We can't hit!!

 

[Alex_de_Large]

I've never seen so many backwards K's in my life. Augie should make them run foul poles till they puke if they K looking.

 

[FWHORN]

Got out of that meeting quick!

Top 7 grounder to first is flipped to Stafford for first out.

 

[FWHORN]

Base hit to center is first base runner allowed by Stafford. 1 down and runner on first now.

 

[FWHORN]

Grounder to second for another 4-6-3 DP

Stretch time 6.5 done 2-0 Carolina

TIME TO GET SOME RUNS!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Alex_de_Large]

On the other hand, we turn some sweet double plays! What is that like 4 this game alone?

 

[FWHORN]

Horns have played with fire all game but only trail by two, a few clutch hits and this game is still winnable.

Another harmless ground ball for out #2.

 

[ChemHORN]

Watching us at the plate is like watching Greg Davis vs OU.

 

[FWHORN]

Walsh up with two down

foul
pitch number 100

lined into alley in right for base hit.

 

[Texas___Fight]

[johnnyg88]

We have a way of making other mediocre pitchers look great...if you know what I mean.

 

[FWHORN]

Walla pinch hitting for Montalbano

ball low

Poppe into shallow right caught by second baseman to end inning.

7 full done and Horns still trail 2-0.

Putrid offensive performance by Horns.

 

[BigVegasHorn26]

Another pop out to end the inning. This is getting ridiculous. Our bats have gone full retard.

 

[ChemHORN]

Why do a bunch of guys that don't even have warning track power keep insisting on putting the ball up in the air.

 

[FWHORN]

Top Eight

Stafford has had two good innings of work

Strike Three called for first out.

Hindsight says we should have started Stafford...

 

[notanative]

I think what we're seeing is the manifestation of the difference between wanting to go to Omaha and wanting to stay in Omaha.

Fortunately, as I write this it ain't over yet, but I'm not my usual optimistic self.

Danno, you are probably right...get Stafford a bat...can't do any worse.

 

[Alex_de_Large]

Our hitting approach is bizarre. No taking a strike when down 2 in the 7th. But yet we watch called 3rd strikes all game long. I don't get it.
