Texas vs. OU sux series

[Vol Horn 4 Life]

Was that just a brain fart by Galvan? Was he supposed to do that?

In no world does a catcher throw down in this situation. The number of mistakes in this game by the Horns is astounding. And I'm not being dramatic. I suppose the Friday night curse continues.

 

[Chop]

Loss

Story of the night——-5 ERRORS. And they were costly resulting in around 5 runs.

 

[Chop]

Constantine needs to step up his coaching game.

9-4 OU final.

The Horns played right into the normal Friday expectations.

Now if weather doesn't screw things up we're in for a great Saturday!

I didn't see it, what did he do? I got busy doing something else

 

[aUTfan]

Galvan throw down to 2nd with a runner on 3rd?

I think they outdid themselves this time, the defense let the team down, not the pitching or offense.

100% agree. Pitching was not bad tonight except for a few issues.

The double-headers so far this weekend have been back-to-back 9-inning games. Anyone happen to know if the rules are different for a Sunday double-header? For example, will one of today's games only be 7 innings?

 

[Phil Elliott]

In olden times the 2nd game was always 7 innings but these days IDK.

Interestingly TX/OU played a weather related double header last year too but on Saturday to get ahead of weather.

I looked around and the only guidelines I found stated it could either be two 9 inning games, one 9 and one 7 or two 7 inning games. I think its up to the teams playing and if there are other circumstances like travel or weather that would require shortening one or both games.

To the bottom of the 1st.

1-0 Horns

Thomas singles on an 11 pitch at-bat.

This is a thing of beauty for a lead-off hitter!

OU's pitcher Witherspoon already has around 25 pitches after 1 inning.

Not sure if this was posted.

That ball squirts to the backstop cause Schuessler is on one knee and can’t get his left knee down to block it


And runner moves up to scoring position as a result. I’m not sure that’s a WP. As I’m typing this, because of the poor fundamentals by the catcher on one knee, run scores.

 

[aUTfan]

And guess what?? Because Schuessler was NOT on his knees, (runners on 1st and 3rd) the runner on third KNEW we were going to throw down to 2nd, runner gets a good jump and scores on the throw down. Cant believe this ****. This is on Pierce!!

 

[aUTfan]

This whole game so far and the last are a result of poor fundamentals… baseball 101.

 

[aUTfan]

Gasparino makes a pretty good play for a fly out at the wall and the foul line for out #2

 

[aUTfan]

Fly ball deep to Kennedy gets the last out. OU up 2-1 and should be 1-1 at the most.

 

[Phil Elliott]

Ace not as sharp today as we are used to.

 

[aUTfan]

Ace has done enough so far to keep us in it though. Haven't looked to see how they scored that ball to the backstop but it should be a passed ball in my opinion, not a wild pitch.

 

[aUTfan]

How many of you yahoo's are sitting behind home plate? I see a few burnt orange shirts.

What game are you watching? That is not what happened at all. Ace threw to 1st then Borba went to 2nd for what was a tag out not called correctly. Only after Borba threw to 2nd did the runner on 3rd head for home. Stop trying to fire Pierce for every little thing cuz its not up to you.
