Miss St vs Horns DH

[Chop]

Shoos. Yeah. Grounded it to the other side on the shift. That’s how you beat the shift.

 

[aUTfan]

TV. Cable through YouTube TV. Don’t laugh. It’s been better for us.

ok, I just canceled my YouTubeTV account when they raised the price $9-10

Schuessler with a single through the hole on the right side. 2 on, 2 outs.

Farmer at the plate.

 

[aUTfan]

WP moves both runners over to scoring position.

 

[Chop]

Farmer goes golfing. Passed ball. Men on 2 and 3. Two down. Farmer at the plate.

 

[Chop]

This MSU pitcher has a wild side.

K.

 

[aUTfan]

Dang, Farmer has a hole in his bat, he swung right through that one. to the B2.

 

[Chop]

Just keep hitting and walking and getting on base. It will all come together.




I watched Moneyball 3 times……

 

[aUTfan]

1st pitch pop up saw this one for out number 1.

 

[aUTfan]

Just keep hitting and walking and getting on base. It will all come together.




I watched Moneyball 3 times……

I read the book and was stunned at scouts approach to talent.

 

[aUTfan]

Flores quickly has 2 outs in 4 pitches.

 

[aUTfan]

dang, 3 outs in 5 pitches. End of the 2nd.

 

[aUTfan]

the outs:

a Pop up
k swinging and
a sharp ground ball to Schuessler at 1st ended it all in 5 pitches.

I read the book and was stunned at scouts approach to talent.

I agree that many of the old school scouts were making decisions based on ignorant criteria. But it didn’t surprise me. “Eyeball” tests used to be a huge factor.

 

[aUTfan]

Due up:
Mendoza
Belyeu
Flores

 

[aUTfan]

chopper to 2nd, out #1.

 

[Chop]

This pitcher’s sinker is tripping up Max B.

 

[aUTfan]

Announcer: he hasn't really got going from a power stand point (Belyeu)

agree with that one as I watch him dribble a slow ground ball down the line toward 1st base and the pitcher underhands the ball for out number 2.

 

[aUTfan]

Flores k swinging. To B3.

Back to Galvan's HR, we both said he was due in the last game........

 

[aUTfan]

Dang, Flores seems to bean a batter each game.

 

[aUTfan]

WP moves the runner to 2nd. Same pitch he beaned the last hitter with runs inside again but just misses another HBP.

 

[aUTfan]

great sac bunt laid down, Jason F. makes the play for the only out available. runner on 3rd. 1 out.

 

[aUTfan]

single ties the game. Ball was hit precisely where the SS would normally be set up but there was a shift to the right side on.

 

[aUTfan]

Not sure what pitch that is Flores is throwing but it keeps running inside on righty's.

Max mound visit.

Activity in the bullpen, looks like Grubbs is warming up. Not sure who else.

 

[aUTfan]

Great pitch on a full count, k swinging for out number 2.

 

[aUTfan]

Fly out down the LF field line to end the inning. Not nearly as dramatic as the last game but had to run a long way to get under that one. Tie ballgame 1-1 after 3.

 

[aUTfan]

A. Rod with a quick out.

Galvan hits a rope down the LF line for a stand up double. 1 out.

 

[aUTfan]

If this pitcher puts one inside Borba is going to send this to the moon.

 

[aUTfan]

Borba hits a hard single through the left side and drives in Galvan. Texas up 2-1

 

[Chop]

Flores k swinging. To B3.

Back to Galvan's HR, we both said he was due in the last game........

Great minds think alike.

 

[Chop]

Borba hits a hard single through the left side and drives in Galvan. Texas up 2-1

Borba has been the team MVP lately.
