Texas v. Kansas May 19-20, 2022

Good question chop. Why hasn’t Olivarez got more work.

 

[Chop]

I don’t want to jinx us, but we might actually sweep the mighty Kansas Jayhawks!!!

 

[Chop]

Good question chop. Why hasn’t Olivarez got more work.

He’s shown up solid just about every time he’s gone to the mound.
His numbers are very good.
Other than Harrison (or Stevens), he could be our first or second guy out of the pen.

Need more insurance…2 grand slams by the opposition and we lose.

 

[mmsnake]

And he doesn’t walk batters

 

[Chop]

Yeah really

Call State Farm, Allstate, Farmers, Farm Bureau, Geico, and Lloyds of London—let’s get some more insurance!!!

 

[Chop]

Olivarez back out for the 8th.

 

[Chop]

Well. He walked a man. Maui with his 0.400 batting avg.

 

[Chop]

DOUBLE PLAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

That’s it man. Just like Gordon. With this D, pitch strikes to them, make them hit it, and these fielders will get the outs.

 

[mmsnake]

Exactly

 

[Chop]

Ump just jobbed Olivarez on that 1-1 ball call. That would be a strike, Blue…

 

[mchammer]

The meltdown game and not winning the series against KSU cost us a conference championship. Unbelievable, but so was our relief pitching.

 

[Chop]

Ha! Nice grab and pitch by Olivarez to close the side. No runs. One hit. Good middle relief/set up work by Olivarez.

8-1 us.

On to the bottom of the 8th!

 

[Chop]

The meltdown game and the not winning the series against KSU cost us a conference championship. Unbelievable, but so was our relief pitching.

Oh. It gets even worse. Oklahoma could be the conference champion…

 

[mmsnake]

I say let him close it

 

[Chop]

WHICH meltdown game?

 

[Chop]

DuPlantier is warming up in the pen.

NOT joking…

 

[mchammer]

DuPlantier is warming up in the pen.

NOT joking…

Maybe pull him after the first grand slam?

 

[Chop]

I’ve got it.

We need KU to tie this game up and play enough extra innings so Ivan can break the record tonight.

 

[Chop]

And he doesn’t walk batters

Not often anyway…

 

[Chop]

DuPlantier takes the mound.

In my personal opinion, he may still be a year away from being ready after coming back from his surgery.

He still has some nasty stuff. But that control……….

 

[Chop]

Base hit.
One on.
No outs.

 

[Chop]

K on the breaking ball.
He Still has the sauce.
But that control…….

 

[Chop]

Down low, up high, down low, outside

WALK

Men on first and second. One out.

 

[old65horn]

Oh. It gets even worse. Oklahoma could be the conference champion…

Thought the conference champion was who wins the tourney

 

[Chop]

Murph grabs a high deep fly ball.

one more out!!!

 

[Chop]

Daly!!!! Great grab!

Longhorn Victory!!!

8-1

 

[Chop]

Re: DuPlantier

I hope the guy comes back next year and becomes an all-conference level pitcher. As for this year—while he still has some nasty stuff, his control has been scary… Gotta work on that control.
