Texas-Army Game Thread, Part Deux

[cochamps]

Moreland speculateds that we will see the closer now (their first baseman)

 

[majorwhiteapples]

Giving up those outs can we have runners in scoring position?

 

[cochamps]

Workman gives Army the gift of hitting the first guy, so he will come out.

 

[FWHORN]

Another lead off man on for Army.

Workman done for night.

 

[cochamps]

Kendall Carillo comes on.

 

[GemStateJim]

Workman plunks Army's 9-hole hitter to put a runner on first with no outs and the top of the order on deck. Again, we are swallowing our own tongue today. Incredibly sloppy game for our hitters, pitchers and coaches.

Conference on the mound. Kendal Carrillo to come in for Brandon Workman.

Carrillo starts Price off with a strike. Price responds by laying a bunt back to the mound. Carrillo fields it and has nowhere to go but first. Watkins moves to second, Ernesto up with one out.

Carillo jumps ahead of Ernesto, 0-2. The next pitch is lined sharply to right. Keyes catches it and, because it didn't hang, the runner can't advance. One on, two out, Moore up.

Moore blasts a 2-1 pitch over the leftfield wall. Ouch. Army back to a three-run advantage, 9-6.

For an encore, Henshaw crushes one over the monster in dead center to up Army's margin to four runs, 10-6.

McKague chops one past the infield and into left for a single. Carrillo started promisingly enough but is now tossing BP to the Black Knights. All of Army's damage in this inning has come with two outs. Koenigsfeld up.

Koenigsfeld swings at the first offering from Stayton Thomas and flies out to center. The inning, mercifully, ends.

Army leads, 10-6, heading into the bottom of the 8th ...

 

[cochamps]

sac bunt

 

[updog07]

Can't believe how much we are struggling with ******* Army.

Not a good sign.

 

[FEDEX]

maybe we could sell all these IPOD TOUCHES we are winning in this thread and buy out Augie.

 

[cochamps]

fly out to RF

 

[updog07]

Looks like 1 PM tomorrow now.

****.

 

[cochamps]

wow the 1-1 potch looked good, but now he hits a HR. 9-6

looks like Monday baseball, and who will start for the good guys?

 

[swraith]

garbage

 

[orangecat]

Good news! The bunt is now off the table, because of the HR by Army. UNLESS, we get within one run.

 

[busterbrown16]

Maybe we will follow Army's lead tomorrow and actually swing the friggin bats.

 

[TexanWolv]

 

[cochamps]

Hinshaw hits one out to CF. 10-6

 

[swraith]

double garbage

 

[updog07]

I am not even sure we can beat them tomorrow either. They hit the ball 100 times better than we do.

 

[Dewbrewer]

ouch, son of a

woodshed job

 

[FWHORN]

There it is. Two HR's in a row

Army has had clutch hitting all night and made the plays to win the game in the field. It doesnt help that we have given them two full innings of free outs and gotten no runs out of it.

Tomorrow is going to be a nailbiter.

I really think Texas coached itself out of this game.

 

[FEDEX]

such high expectations after last night. Now struggling against a poor Army team, our future doesnt look good.

 

[cochamps]

We need to regroup

 

[FEDEX]

ballgame. what time is the game tomorrow?

 

[TexasSun]

Who is scheduled to pitch tomorrow?

 

[GemStateJim]

[updog07]

That collar on our jerseys is going to be very tight tomorrow. I have a real bad feeling about it. Hope I am wrong.

 

[cochamps]

Anybody want to hazard a guess on tomorrow's starter? I guess it won't be Wood

 

[cochamps]

Fly out. we get to bat.

Struggling against Army and Boston College is not a good sign for Texas, if they struggle against these teams how would they do in a Super Regional or in Omaha where there usually aren't any unranked teams.
