Okie Light @ UT, Game 3

[slugfest]

Austin Wood pitching today. Didn't he shutout OSU last year on Sunday, completing the sweep? IMO, he has been the single most disappointing performer on this year's team, shutting down absolutely no one, save one great start against Stanford.

 

[slugfest]

Top 1:
Webb - lead-off walk after getting ahead 1-2, then steals 2nd
Mercer - F8, w/ Webb going to 3rd

In reply to:

"he has been the single most disappointing performer on this year's team, shutting down absolutely no one"

So were doooomed today

 

[slugfest]

Sorry, but being "doomed" or "jinxed" means zero to me. Wood could posibly throw a no-hitter or he could give up 6 in the 1st inning. What I write has nothing to do with it.

 

[slugfest]

Hague - third full count...hit under Tucker
1-0 OSU

 

[slugfest]

One on, one in
That ended up being an error on Tucker.
Ridling - full count again....pop up F7
Medchill - out 3-1
1-0 OSU

 

[WorsterMan]

Thanks for the updates Slug - Horns just need to find a way to win today...

Tyler Blandford from Owensboro, KY pitching for OSU. He's 3-3 with a 6-35(!!) ERA and 9 bombs given up. Anderson hopes to get 5 out of him today.

Bottom 1:
Torres - works a walk after being down 0-2 and steals 2nd
Tucker - whiff

 

[slugfest]

Danks - doubles off the wall!
1-1

 

[WorsterMan]

I like Blandfords ERA - Horns need to get some runs off this dude!

 

[slugfest]

Danks on 2nd, one out
Moldenhauer (in LF today) - out F9, Danks on to 3rd

 

[slugfest]

RUSSELLPWNED
3-1

 

[Truck's Son]

And Kyle Russell hits it about 8 miles.

 

[WorsterMan]

KR HR - Sweeeeet!

 

[slugfest]

Belt - out 4-3
UT 3 OSU 1 after 1

No offense to Austin Wood's family or to Austin personally, but I've never seen anything from him that indicated he was good enough to be a starting pitcher for a program like Texas. Ever. I think this year, with so many new pitchers, and Kenn and Riley coming off an injury year, Texas desperately needed an elder statesman to rely on, and Austin was the guy. But I've never felt comfortable with him on the mound, certainly not as a weekend starter, so his performance this year has not come as a shock to me.

Top 2:
Flores - out F8

 

[slugfest]

Belza - out 4-3

Regarding Wood, I thought he was really putting it together late last year. That's why this year has been so disappointing.

 

[slugfest]

Aussie Hambly - out 6-3
Nice inning for Wood.

3-1 mid 2nd

 

[slugfest]

Bottom 2:
Clark - 4-pitch walk

 

[slugfest]

See ya Tyler Blandford. Gone after 1 inning. Replaced by Matt Peck.

 

[kjgirl]

I feel for Austin. He has been used as a starter on multiple days, coming out of the pen and a closer.

Our pitching staff as a whole this year has been inconsistent. I am not sure if its the players or the coach.

 

[slugfest]

Rupp - nice sac bunt

 

[WorsterMan]

Blandford - dude, we hardly knew yee... What kind of ERA is Peck lugging around?

 

[slugfest]

Hernandez - IF hit

 

[slugfest]

Sac fly for Torres
4-1 Texas
Peck's ERA isn't bad - around 3.00, but minimal K's, so hitters are making contact.

Hernandez on 1st, 2 outs
Tucker up

 

[slugfest]

4-1 Texas after 2

 

[WorsterMan]

3.0 isn't bad... 4-1 and a runner on, let's get some more runs Horns!

 

[slugfest]

Top 3:
R. Thomas - out 6-3 on nice play by Hernandez

 

[slugfest]

Webb - out F8
Mercer bunts back to Wood
3 up, 3 down

Now THIS is UT baseball.

4-1 UT mid 3rd
