Super Regional Texas v. East Carolina

[Chop]

Gordon just saved our bacon after two errors in the first inning. No runs!. Wait. Looks like they’re only scoring 1 of the 2 errors an E. (They we’re both errors—and by two of the best fielders in the country—Faltine and Messinger). Anyways, Gordon’s doing his job. As usual.


Get us some coffee!

 

[Chop]

Base hit Kennedy.

 

[Chop]

Kennedy steals second!

he’s pretty fast…

 

[Chop]

Base hit Murph!

RBI. Kennedy comes home.

1-0 Horns

 

[Chop]

Murph steals second.

That dude does it all.

 

[Chop]

Error. Bad throw by their 3rd baseman. Todd reaches 1st. Murph comes home.

2-0 us!!!

 

[Chop]

2 stolen bases were key to our 2 runs in the first inning. Both are good power hitters, but Murph and Kennedy are certainly no ‘lumbering’ sluggers.

 

[Chop]

3 up
3 down
For Gordon and the Texas D
in the 2nd

Gordon looks on.

 

[Chop]

They had better give Gordon that same strike call when it’s a foot outside. Faltine made the right call not swinging—99 out of 100 competent sober umps would call that pitch a ball. The other one is a sooner. They’d just better give Gordon that same strike call on an outside ball.

 

[Chop]

Good. Faltine has his glove back. Well done.

 

[Chop]

3 up
3 down
Again
for Gordon and the Texas D
in the 3rd

 

[Chop]

E Carolina’s pitcher is still getting those strike calls when it’s outside.

As long as Gordon gets the same calls—ok.

It also seems that this ump doesn’t care much for pitches on the inside corner. Go outside a lot with this ump.

 

[Chop]

Base hit Hodo

And now he calls one well inside to Kennedy as a strike.

Inconsistent ump.

And now he calls one well inside to Kennedy as a strike.

Inconsistent ump.

Just finished typing it and E Carolina’s pitcher goes barely inside (strike) on Kennedy, but he calls it a ball. No consistency.

 

[George Bailey]

Wow Hodo was safe...

 

[Chop]

Weird slide by Hodo. Out at second.


Well, maybe he was safe. Weird slide

 

[mmsnake]

He was safe but what the hell was he doing

 

[mmsnake]

Cost us a run. Can’t have mental mistakes like that

 

[Chop]

Grosz gets the hook
Exit stage left
Hit the showers
Enter Danny Beal
4.10 ERA

 

[SabreHorn]

Hodo should go to the bench for that. You don't need to know what the **** is happening, put your head down and run. You can watch the replay later. Looked like some of the 9 year olds I coached. ******* pathetic. Trot to second watching the catcher windup and throw the damn ball.

Wow Hodo was safe..

No he wasn't, besides no umpire will give you that call because it's an insult to baseball and even close to average intelligence. The mental errors make it look like this team just wants to go home and start their summer.

 

[WorsterMan]

Crap, left 2 on base....

 

[mchammer]

Cost us a run. Can’t have mental mistakes like that

Hodo did the same last weekend. So stupid.

 

[Chop]

Solo HR for EC

2-1 us

 

[WorsterMan]

Come on Gordo!

 

[Chinstrap]

Totally agree that he should go to the bench. Worst case of base running above T ball. And when in the hell does a base runner on a steel look at hime plate. That was absolutely terrible base running!

 

[WorsterMan]

Wheew! Great strikeout Gordon!!!

 

[Chop]

Gordon got into a little trouble in the 4th, but he pitched his way out of it. Mature beyond his years. Real good between the ears.

2-1 us in the 4th.

 

[Chop]

Enter Saylor for E C

5.17 ERA
