Texas at Kansas State April 14-16, 2022

[LonghornCatholic]

Didn’t watch and just saw the score, so what excuses we got now?

 

[WorsterMan]

I road the Sky Tram at DFW with a dude decked out in KSU gear that same year. I was wearing an orange polo. He starts his conversation with 'I hate Texas, everything about it.' I ask him why he's here. He replies 'Not the state, the school. I hate your school.' I tell him that I honestly never think about Kansas State. Not until gametime. KSU just never crosses my mind. He waits until his stop and says 'Tuck Fexas' on his way out the door.

Another thought. KSU was the worst in college football for decades. They hate us as a successful and prideful college football blueblood. They have gotten better with Snyder but newcomers to winning frequently handle success in obnoxious and undeserved ways.

But don't you all remember last year and how none of this in season stuff mattered once we got to Omaha...

 

[TexasFight86]

12-1 record before this happened,
13-11 since

'ERRBODY gets up to play the Horns...

I do not think that is a big factor in baseball, it is in football and hoops but no hardball

I disagree. It seems like their super bowl, to
mix metaphors.

 

[mchammer]

Let’s get the sweep today, fellas! (Oops)

 

[Chop]

3 down with 1 hit
2 Ks
For Gordon
0-0 on to the 2nd.

 

[Chop]

1-0 them. Top of 3rd.

 

[Chop]

Faltine. That’s exactly what you do when they play in a defensive shift lineup. Ground it to the opposite side. Nobody there where the second baseman belongs. Result—base hit. More good and disciplined hitting is what will put an end to this bs infield shift stuff. Not rule changes.

 

[Chop]

Double by Todd!!! Men on 2nd and 3rd.

 

[Chop]

Daly. Deep fly ball out to right field. Faltine tags for the run.

1-1

 

[Chop]

KS pitcher showing some loss of control…

 

[Chop]

Chopper by Murph to third baseman. High throw to first draws jumping catch by first baseman. Infield single or error. Murph safe. Todd scores from 3rd!

2-1 Horns!!!

 

[Chop]

Silas swinging for the fences. Connect buddy!

 

[Chop]

And he walked Silas! Men on first and second. Two outs. Bullpen active.

 

[Chop]

2-1 us. On to bottom of 3rd. KS pitcher is shaky with his control and with a high pitch count for this point in the game.

 

[Chop]

One hit in the third. No runs. Gordon pitching smart and well, but with a fairly high pitch count for this point in the game.

2-1 us. On to the 4th.

 

[Chop]

Gordon’s doing his part. We need to ignite our bats.

 

[Chop]

Nothing for us in the fourth. Gordon back on the mound.

 

[Chop]

Dang! Another error by Faltine!?!?!?!?

Best shortstop in the Big 12 is having a horrendous series.

 

[Chop]

Fielders choice makes it 2-2.

 

[Chop]

K ends the inning. 7 Ks for Gordon. Tied up 2-2. End of 4th.

Need a big inning by our batters!

 

[Chop]

Faltine gets beaned. He didn’t do his usual stare down of the pitcher afterwards.

 

[Chop]

Weird stuff there. Fly to shallow RF. Three guys after it. Nobody gets it. Faltine hung up between firat and second. They throw it to second for the force out. Just bad luck there.

 

[Chop]

Fielders choice moves Todd to second with two outs. Murph up.

 

[Chop]

He walks Murph!

92 pitch count.

 

[Chop]

Nothing.

Better hope Gordon’s good for another quality inning or two.

 

[Chop]

Punk a$$ Johnson from KS steals and slides into Daly. Tagged out. He lips off then we return the mouthing. Then he gets up in Skye’s face and points his finger in Messinger’s face, so Messinger pushes him back. A few guys from the KS Bench came out of the dugout but no actual fighting.

 

[Chop]

That guy is a little punk. Messinger towered over him and basically backed him off with a one handed shove.
