Texas v. Texas Tech April 30-May 2, 2021

[Chop]

It’s all teed up for Melendez.

 

[Chop]

Walked him in!


Now it’s all teed up for Petrinsky.

 

[Chop]

Wow! He walked in a second run!

 

[SabreHorn]

Grateful Hodo didn't hit into a DP.

 

[p_town_horn]

Is the game in a rain delay?

 

[das3603]

Was wondering myself

 

[SabreHorn]

Yes

 

[WorsterMan]

Thanks for the updates gents - I cannot watch the game live today....

 

[HornHuskerDad]

I can't watch, either - what's the score?

 

[SabreHorn]

Game is postponed until tomorrow afternoon at 1. Bottom of 8th, bases loaded, two outs, Tech leading 5-3

 

[p_town_horn]

Texas is going to have one chance to get game 2. It will be bases loaded with 2 outs in the 8th inning. That is a tough spot for the pitcher and hitter.

 

[Chop]

Ardoin was at bat.

 

[WorsterMan]

Sunday:

TEXAS FIGHT!!!

 

[FWHORN]

No. 3 Baseball’s Saturday game suspended due to weather - University of Texas Athletics

 

[Chop]

Sun of a gun. TT struck out Ardoin looking w the bases loaded. 3 straight strikes. No balls. So much for that rally.



Well, there’s still the 9th inning.

Nothing in the ninth...

Let’s get a win this afternoon for a split.

 

[HornHuskerDad]

Absolutely HAVE to win the afternoon game - being swept by Tceh would pretty much guarantee TCU the title.

 

[FWHORN]

No. 3 Baseball loses Game 2 to No. 11 Texas Tech, 5-3 - University of Texas Athletics

 

[Chop]

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Bout time we caught a break like that.

TT RF missed a very catchable pop up, Melendez rounds the bases after a bad throw by Tech’s RF. HR on an error—how do ya score that one...?



2-1 Red for now.

 

[Vol Horn 4 Life]

TT struck out Ardoin looking

Bases loaded or not this is probably the thing I hate the most. If you have two strikes and one comes that close you better try to put the bat on the ball. I've told my daughter since she was about 10 years old that she's the batter not the umpire. If you can get the stick on it you better give it a ride.

 

[Chop]

That Tech catcher’s sure got a strong arm. Williams was lucky to get back to first.

and now the hit and run. A success! Williams makes it to third! Woo Hoo!

 

[Chop]

And now Tech’s Montgomery loads the bases w a walk. C’mon Horns.

 

[Chop]

Good speed to avoid a double play. One away.

C’mon Trey!

 

[FWHORN]

Finally a hit with runners in scoring position!

 

[Chop]

Yeah!!!!!!

Trey with a two run double!!!

Tech’s OF kinda interfered with each other in getting that throw in. Tech’s RF is having a rough game.

Man on second and third with none other than Antico up!!!




That’ll work. Deep fly by Antico to LF. Kennedy (dude is fast) tags from third for another run.

4-2 Orange.

And Montgomery has a high pitch count for just two innings.

 

[Chop]

Our sunglasses are better than theirs. Tico with the catch looking up at the sun in Right Center.

 

[Chop]

That Conley sure is crowding the plate. 2 outs no runners. Maybe an opportune time to errrrrrrr ummmmmm back him off the plate a bit...

And now a nice sinker to strike out Tech and end the inning w no runs. Good work Hansen!

 

[Chop]

The wind

The sun

Tough day to catch fly balls

 

[Chop]

Hansen is a smart pitcher.

The placement
The control
The movement on the ball
He doesn’t need to throw in the mid 90s

I’d like to see more of Hansen in games.
(Watch out— now that I just said that, he might get shelled next inning...)

 

[Chop]

Wild Thang! Sanders—Tech’s reliever.

5-2 UT on wild pitch, runner on third comes in.



And Tech yanks Sanders off the mound.

 

[Chop]

So Tech’s new reliever Eli starts out by throwing a pitch over Antico’s head then walking him.

Raiders are OUT-OF-CONTROL!!!



In comes Girton—Tech’s third reliever of the game.

Ballsy double steal call by Pierce. It works. 2nd and 3rd. TT catcher made a fast and good throw, but didn’t quite throw us out at second. They’re reviewing whether Tico stepped off the bag (before he called timeout). And they called Tico out on review.

Still 5-2 Horns.
