NCAA Super Regional: Texas v. USF

[George Bailey]

We can pitch.

Sometimes...

 

[TexasFight86]

threw thw wrong pitch you cant let that guy beat you. Shouldve walked him

 

[LHABSOB]

Well hell....

 

[TexasFight86]

How do you pitch to that guy with one out left in the game? Coaching

 

[WorsterMan]

Noooooooooo!

Down to 2 outs, 2 strikes and a HR ties it 3-3 giving da Bullz life.

Sometimes I think I am too old for this emotion for Horns sports!?

 

[LHABSOB]

Let's walk it off...

 

[mchammer]

HR on 3-2 pitch with 1st base open. Not sure that was smart by pitcher.

 

[LHABSOB]

Not a good ab by Hodo to lead off. Swung at 2 pitches in the dirt

 

[mchammer]

Reminds me of all the pitchers trying to strike out Kody Clemens and he hit 2 HR’s every game down the stretch. Not smart. Ego.

 

[Giovanni Jones]

YESSS!!!

 

[mchammer]

We need 4 runs.

Bump

 

[Malcom]

good comeback! Texas Fight!!

 

[Chop]

Kennedy drives Ardoin in for the win!!!

 

[Garmel]

YES!

 

[HornHuskerDad]

Well, that was a bit more exciting than I wanted - but it goes in the books as a win for the Good Guys. Hope it's a more convincing, easier win tomorrow.

 

[Chop]

And the team sings The Eyes with the crowd!

 

[mchammer]

Well, this was one of our **** games at the plate but we got by. Nothing wrong with that. Let’s blow it open tomorrow.

 

[TexasFight86]

Awesome win! This hurts even more for USF bc they tied it up and had hope to win. I hope the middle of the order shows up tomorrow.

 

[WorsterMan]

Whew, Horns get the walk off win 4-3 !!!

 

[FWHORN]

A win is a win is a win is a win

 

[Chop]

Clutch performance at the plate at the end.

Great game by Madden on the mound.

Note to staff—don’t pitch to that tall guy.

 

[WorsterMan]

An close, tight, ugly win counts the same as a dominating win!!

 

[FWHORN]

That is so clutch after the gut punch in the top of the ninth. Bats are gonna have to show up tomorrow.

 

[Chop]

Jasiak was their ace starter. We have 3 ace starters.

(Their bullpen is fairly deep though)
They may have to patch together a performance with four pitchers or something.

 

[WorsterMan]

^^^^ good. We may have gotten their best pitcher out of the way tonight.

Horns gotta focus on next guy up and get more active bats Sunday eve.

 

[WorsterMan]

Let's walk it off...

You called it brother!!!

 

[WJHorn]

A win, yes - but embarrassing. USF was a team that need a miracle to make the tournament and was basically 0.500 for most of the season. We make dumb coaching decisions and CANNOT hit when it matters. Might as well DH Lance Ford for Melendez at this point - he'd have a better chance of getting a hit. Might get to Omaha, but will be two and BBQ like last time. Not up to Texas standards and need to recruit some hitters...

 

[SabreHorn]

Mr Kennedy with the clutch hit, but how big was his sliding catch in left field earlier in the game? Seemed like an outstanding play at the time, but that may very well have kept us from being behind in the ninth.

 

[Chop]

^^^^ good. We may have gotten their best pitcher tonight.

Horns gotta focus on next guy up and get more active bats Sunday eve.

That write up I did way up thread was based on online articles and sources about their pitchers. They have some good pitchers like Jasiak (whom is still owed an a$$ whoopin for beaning Zubia in the helmet), and some pretty good pitchers—a deep pretty good relief staff. But they have no great pitchers. Nobody like Madden, Stevens, Hansen, or Nixon.

If Stevens is on, and our bats aren’t ice cold, we win. But it’s a funny game. That tall dude could hit 3 HRs. Stevens could be off. We might get 3 hits total for the game. A blind cyclops with broken glasses might be the ump behind the plate. Etc.

 

[longhorn47]

Glad we have Stevens on the bump tomorrow. Let's hope 3-4-5 show up
