St. Johns vs. Horns

[Chop]

Top of the 3rd

Grubbs settling in.

Ground out to Flores at SS.

 

[Chop]

Walk.

 

[Chop]

Double.

Men on 2nd and 3rd - one out.

 

[Chop]

Luke Harrison will come in to pitch. A forgettable outing for Grubbs. Dug himself some holes, could have been worse. The fielding did Max some favors, but it was that Error resulted in the only run scored thus far. Harrison has to dig us out of this trouble in the 3rd.

 

[Chop]

Schuessler - base hit to LF.

Runners on 1st and 2nd.

Schuesller must be batting over 0.500 here in the early season. He's gotta be up there with Powell for the top batter here in February.

 

[Chop]

Well crapola.

2 run double down the RF line.

3-2 them.

 

[Chop]

Wild pitch. Base runner advances to 3rd.

[Rolls eyes and sighs...]

 

[Chop]

If this keeps up, we need to put Ace Whitehead on the mound, and with haste.

 

[Chop]

Strike out. 2 away.

 

[Chop]

Another K.

On to the bottom of the 3rd.

3-2 them.

 

[Chop]

Grubbs is still a work in progress. He has the talent.

 

[aUTfan]

it seems like everytime a pitcher inherits runners, no matter how good they are, they allow the runs to come in before shutting things down. I didn't think Grubbs looked too bad, i would give him a B- right now. Harrison settled down after allowing the base clearing double.

 

[Chop]

Luke Harrison showing what he did 2 years ago--coming in when we're in trouble and stopping the opponent's offense.

Grubbs will be good. He'll keep getting plenty of chances. Coach is developing him.

 

[Chop]

Powell - StJ's LF runs down the ball. 1 away.

 

[Chop]

Flores - base hit up the gut after a full count!

 

[aUTfan]

P Brown is waaaaaaayyy over due.

 

[Chop]

P Brown is waaaaaaayyy over due.

Yep. A terribly slow start, but we know how good he is.

 

[aUTfan]

About time he explodes.

 

[Chop]

Chaffee with 50 pitches tonight. The St Johns Coach is coming to the mound to gripe about the quality of pizza in Austin. Chaffee stays in the game.

 

[Chop]

Uggh, Brown strikes out.

Borba is up.

 

[aUTfan]

dang, and Brown's slow start continues.

 

[Chop]

But at least Flores steals 2nd base.

Man in scoring position for Borba.

 

[Chop]

Borba strikes out.

To the 4th.

3-2 them.

 

[aUTfan]

and Borba fouls off ball 4 it looks like to me and then watches strike three right down the middle.

 

[Chop]

Chaffee has thrown 62 pitches. St Johns coach has some men in the bullpen getting warmed up.

 

[Chop]

We're mostly not connecting at the plate, but at least in this game we're driving up the pitch count and having good at bats.

I have no idea what St J has in their bullpen for weekday games, but it's probably not that great.

 

[Chop]

Harrison stays on the mound.

 

[Chop]

Fly out to RF. Belyeu with the grab.

 

[Chop]

Ground out to 3B. 2 away.

Nice play by Powell there.
