CWS Game 12 Texas v. Mississippi State June 25, 2021

[Chop]

Now Landon Sims—MSU’s top reliever to the pen.

 

[militaryhorn]

Well, I am going to say we have lost momentum and are on our way home.

 

[VYFan]

Should have gone to the pen one batter earlier. The kid had gone way deep in the count on two straight.

 

[VYFan]

This game saved me from watching a terrible NBA game!

 

[horninchicago]

This game saved me from watching a terrible NBA game!

In other words, an NBA game.

 

[WorsterMan]

Damn. Horns may still pull this thing out... but admit I got far too cocky & relaxed with a 5-2 lead....

 

[militaryhorn]

We are 36-0 when scoring 5 or more runs this year. Yes, I am searching for any kind of hope.

 

[mchammer]

Damn. Horns may still pull this thing out... but admit I got far too cocky & relaxed with a 5-2 lead....

The baseball gods let you off easy and only gave you a warning. Don’t question their existence again for the love of Texas baseball!!!

 

[VYFan]

Come on!

We are Texas!

we got this—Bill in Sinton informs me

 

[mchammer]

We are 36-0 when scoring 5 or more runs this year. Yes, I am searching for any kind of hope.

And 46-0 (or some such) when leading after 6 innings.

 

[humahuma]

Score please

last I saw 5-2

 

[TexasFight86]

Pierce shouldn’t have sent Antico to steal 3rd on a top catcher - cost us 1 run

He lets Witt walk 3 batters ? Why? Cost another run

 

[caryhorn]

Four walks late in a tight game are tough to overcome. But not impossible.
Pierce’s decision to stay with the freshman after he walked the bases loaded baffles me.
pressure now goes on our hitters.

 

[WorsterMan]

Desperately need a run. Man on base is a good start.

 

[mchammer]

Score please

last I saw 5-2

5-5. Horn pitchers gave up a double, a single and 4 walks!!!!!

 

[WorsterMan]

Need some Zubia magic!

 

[VYFan]

How about a wild pitch…

 

[nashhorn]

4 walks,4 did I say 4 walks. Not in game in an inning!
Better score now boys.

 

[Chop]

Enter Parker Stinnett for MSU

1.56 ERA (tv shows a 1.45 ERA, so my online scouting report is probably dated)
“Wicked slider”.
Nasty put out stuff.
Aggressively goes after the hitters.
A Strike out pitcher.
JC transfer.

On edit: let’s add “likes to throw it in the dirt…”

 

[caryhorn]

How about a wild pitch…

Or a home run

 

[sblazer]

I would've let Antico try to steal 2nd and then bunt him to 3rd. Ohh well. Just need a clutch hit. :/

 

[Chop]

By aggressively goes after hitters, I didn’t think they meant he was a headhunter…

 

[WorsterMan]

Just a base hit.... please!

 

[VYFan]

Guy has bounced like 5 pitches

 

[Chop]

By aggressively goes after hitters, I didn’t think they meant he was a headhunter…

As I was saying…

 

[WorsterMan]

That was not a strike! Should have been ball 4

 

[VYFan]

Yea baby

 

[WorsterMan]

HELL YES !!!!

MELENDEZ POWER - 3 RUN HOMER BABY!!

 

[Chop]

Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!
MELENDEZ!!!!
3 run HR

 

[caryhorn]

Did someone call for a home run a minute ago?
