Texas v. Texas State

[Chest Rockwell]

Cole, I think you can quit worrying about that runner now.

 

[TEASIP84]

I might just turn the lights out on this season. Don't know if I can stand to watch this.

 

[FWHORN]

Horns digging themselves another hole.

Swinging K gets second out of inning.

 

[salonghorn-70]

I think that I'm going to go throw up.

 

[TEASIP84]

2 runs down is a huge defecit for our pathetic offense to overcome

 

[FWHORN]

The problem with always requiring your pitchers to be perfect is that they can be every single game and unless the offense can pick up a few games you find yourself constantly in holes like this.

Fly out to center ends inning but Horns now trail 2-0.

Funny part is, I'm sure we'll continue to see sac bunts. Trying to manufacture a run is OK in certain situations. But doing it all the time basically means we're batting to get 2 outs in an inning instead of 3.

 

[FWHORN]

Bottom Four:

Montalbano leads off with nice infield single to way deep in hole at short.

 

[FWHORN]

Playing games with setting up to bunt leads to check swing easy DP.

Why oh why do we keep doing this?

 

[FWHORN]

Flyout in foul territory behind first on first pitch ends inning.

This is painful to watch.

 

[TEASIP84]

That check swing DP basically sums up this regional for us.

 

[FWHORN]

Top 5

This game is painfully remeniscent of the Mizzou game last Saturday night that ended the Big XII tourny run, as Horns could find no offense.

Line shot to short for first out.

 

[FWHORN]

Grounder to short and Loy makes long throw in time for second out.

 

[warrior]

That was the 11th homer of the year for Kubitza. I think Texas has like 14 for the year? Texas better sign 2 or 3 power hitters for next year to compete with other offenses.

 

[FWHORN]

Grounder to third ends the inning. 4.5 done Horns trail 2-0.

Thanks to TEASIP and the Dude for links to texassports.tv or .com or whatever. After trying three different computers, I've got an old laptop that shows the video - two desktops on the same LAN show the black screen... now if I can get the projector hooked up to the laptop, then... then... uh, then I'll probably regret it. 2-0? Dang.

 

[TEASIP84]

Certainly can't blame the new bats. Other teams are finding ways to get it done.

Bottom Five

Etier leads off by flying out to center.

 

[FWHORN]

Felts with single to right center. Fifth hit of game for Horns.

 

[longtex]

Sad to see half the primo seats behind home empty...

Okay, so 2 on 1 out... and...

 

[FWHORN]

Tant Shepherd with base hit to left. Runners on first and second.

Lets get a clutch hit now.

 

[TEASIP84]

Jacksonville choked away a 3-0 lead against Miami in the Gainesville regional. Miami now leading 4-3 in the 9th.

 

[FWHORN]

Payton with an awesome bunt for an infield single.

Bases loaded with one down.

Lets get that clutch hit here.

 

[FWHORN]

Loy with SAC fly to center plates run. 2-1.

 

[warrior]

I love small ball but very few small ball teams get to Omaha every year. I love defense and pitching too but you have to have all 3 to be considered a great team. Texas has been over rated this year because they are Texas. There pitching and defense are top 10 but their hitting is not even top 25. If you are going to play small ball then recruit players who have speed and can steal alot of bases and score more runs that way. Then there been several games this year where Texas has been painful to watch while batting.

 

[FWHORN]

Weiss up with runners on first and second and two down.

Another slow roller infield single loads bases.

Horns have four hits in inning but just one run.

 

[TEASIP84]

There are times to play smaill ball in a game and then there are times you just need to let the team swing away.

It is 100 in the shade in Austin with humidity, wonder what the temp is in the sun? Hotter than blazes out there, I would be surprised if pitchers last much longer.
