Texas-Army Game Thread, Part Deux

[FWHORN]

Enoough with the frickin bunting, another free out and the runner stays at first.

We have given them two full innings of free outs.

 

[Horn87]

[cochamps]

You jump to conclusions. We would bunt with 3 strikes if we could.

 

[cochamps]

Hernandez flails at the first pitch. 0-1

 

[orangecat]

okay, I'm not usually one to bag on "conventional" strategy, but is Augie trying to prove how stubborn he can be, with this bunt every inning strategy? I mean you've got a pitcher supposedly on the ropes, you're behind by one run, and you give them another out?

 

[REALBIGHORNFAN]

Too much "small ball". Just swing the bat!

 

[GemStateJim]

Augie has forgotten more baseball than I'll ever know, but this is not his best game. Terrible call there to bunt Maitland with two strikes.

 

[Max Powers]

Geez... bunting with two strikes? Hate to sound like the armchair coach, but this goes against everything i ever learned in little league. And never doubt the powers of little league...

 

[Horn69]

Augie must sit in his room at night with the lights off and dream-up weird-*** situtations to bunt when nobody thinks you will.

Hook'em!!!

 

[cochamps]

full count. walk. Travis up with two on and 1 out

 

[Horn87]

please give us a basehit!!

 

[Bill in Sinton]

GO HORNS!

 

[FEDEX]

COME ON BOYS!!!

 

[Horn87]

called out on 3 pitches

 

[FWHORN]

Both of those looked outside, when did the zone expand so much blue?????

 

[swraith]

grrrr

 

[cochamps]

Tucker takes called strike three

It is up to Loy

 

[Aragorn]

Sure looked outside. Called strike three.

 

[stevedallas]

does Loy ever hit?

 

[FEDEX]

 

[FEDEX]

Loy only hits on the opposite sex.

 

[stevedallas]

like I said......

 

[cochamps]

ground out to 3rd unassisted. To the 8th - 7-6 Army

So pumped about giving up an out that inning. I think we should go ahead do that in the 8th and 9th. Let's just go with 2 outs for both of those innings.

 

[FWHORN]

We smallballed our way to no runs again that inning. the two runs we got came when they just hit away. This is so freaking frustrating. Another RISP left on. Gonne be a stressfull two innings here. Cant let them score again.

Augie has been doing this longer than all of us and knows more baseball than any of us but I swear he is being stubborn just for the point of being stubborn.

Texas having tough time with Army and Boston College in baseball, how times have changed.

 

[GemStateJim]

So many wasted chances, so many free outs ...
