UTSA changing pitchers.

 

[FWHORN]

In answer to above poster, Stafford only went 1 inning and seemed wild all night.

 

[VirginiaLonghorn]

How many pickoffs is that for the UTSA pitcher .... three? ... and none has resulted in an out. I know what they'll be working on.

If I'm correct, we've had a number of baserunners picked off in previous games. Augie needs to get our baserunners more alert to the leftie pickoff moves.

 

[FWHORN]

New UTSA pitcher is Proudfoot.

Loy grounds to short but throw is off line and he is safe on error.

Shepherd up to bat and on first pitch Loy is caught stealing.

4 full 5-1 Horns.

 

[FWHORN]

The Texas baserunners have definitely been sleepwalking tonight. On a weekend those outs would be critical, fortunately this is a mid week game and will give Augie something to yell at his team about.

 

[FWHORN]

Have lost the feed down here in the Caribbean someone else will have to take this home. Game tracker is stuck in bottom of 4 and I cant get video feed back.

 

[Horn87]

5-1 after 5 full--been watching "Run Ricky Run"--

 

[LonghornCatholic]

Thanks

 

[FWHORN]

Video feed is back down here. UTSA retired in top 6th.

5-1 Horns

 

[Horn87]

5-1 after 6 full

 

[FWHORN]

Top 7 Hoby Milner in to pitch for Horns.

 

[slugfest]

Ah, so Stafford only lasted one inning. Thanks. One small concern about this team is the failure to develop a 4th starter should we need one in the postseason. Dicharry hasn't panned out.

 

[FWHORN]

Two quick K's and a fly out, 1-2-3 inning to bottom of 7, 5-1 Texas.

 

[FWHORN]

It would be nice to have the Tuesday starter be an established 4th pitcher for the regional where you may need a number 4. The nice thing is with the set up with the Big XII, supers and Omaha you just need three starters.

If a fourth is needed in the regional Stayton Thomas has been solid and so has Milner. Stafford can give you a few innings and just get to the seventh for Ruffin. Dicharry is injured if I am not mistaken.

 

[FWHORN]

Horns unable to add to their lead in bottom of 7 as they go in order 1-2-3.

5-1 through 7 full.

 

[FWHORN]

Stayton Thomas in to pitch 8.

Ground out to SS for leadoff hitter Carpenter.
Rockett follows with single up middle.
Steals second.
Brown grounds out to short, runner cant advance.
Rummel doubles to right driving in run. 5-2 Horns

I suspect that a game 4 or game 5 in a regional pitching wise would look a lot like tonight. The staff is deep enough that you run people out as long as they can go and then just move on to the next one to get you to late in the game and Thomas/Ruffin.

 

[FWHORN]

Dalton for UTSA with runner on second and two down singles and throwing error scores the run but he stays on first; 5-3 Horns.

Chance Ruffin to pitch in save situation.
