UT-TCU

I'll give Purke his credit, he's been pitching good and we've been watching **** go right by us. But there have been some definite balls that have been called. Just have to keep our heads in it.

And on that note, Cole beams the lead off batter on a 2-2 count.
 
Regarding the balls and strikes--even if blue has a generous strike zone, it's up to Texas' hitters to adapt and adjust. And with two strikes on you, there's no excuse for staring at a grooved strike three.
 
Cole with a 2-0 count and Skip comes out to talk to everyone. Cole seems to be struggling a bit, but has still pitched a great game.
 
No doubt ya gotta swing on that Gem, gotta protect that plate.

Cole walks the second batter. He hasn't had many pitches this inning close. I'm not sure if there is anyone up, but they may want to get someone up pronto.
 
Coats bunts it, Cole throws to first for the first out. Runners on 2nd and 3rd only 1 down.

Horns try to intentional walk to Curry and Cole throws it past Rupp and the runner on 3rd scores. Unfuckingreal.

2-0 fuckin frogs. 1 down man on 3rd.
 
Need a K here...a K, not a WP.

Next batter with a fly to RF, and runner on 3rd scores on the tag but runner on first holds. 2 down for the Horns.

3-0 cockroaches

Thomas and McKirihan up in the bullpen.

Next batter single to RF, runners on 1st and 2nd now. Throw in from RF goes over SS's head but fortunately no one advances. We look like a bunch of ******** out there.

Now Skip is out and Cole is done.

Thomas coming in it looks like.
 
Given the way Purke is pitching and the way the 'Horns are hitting (or not), looks like this one is starting to get away from 'em. Dang it.
 
High pop up to Etier at second to finally end the inning.

We need to get the ******* bats going.

Be nice if the long inning cools down purke and we jump on him.

Bottom 6 3-0 roaches
 
Walla 1 pitch lines out to SS who didn't have to move, just jumped up.

Literally right to these guys. ****.
 
And a beautiful 1-2-3 inning a half *** strike 3 swing ends the inning. **** Texas if you don't want to be out there, just call it a day and come back tomorrow.

oh well, no matter how this game turns out, they cannot pitch Purke tomorrow and Sunday. We can throw Jungmann and Workman...I still like our chances.
 
As negative as I sound, I'm not giving up on 'em. We love late inning dramatics.

As few pitches as Purke is having to throw, hell he could come back tomorrow AND monday.
 
Again, when Texas isn't striking out, it's hitting the ball hard but right to TCU fielders.

TCU, meanwhile, has squirted several balls through the Texas infield.

Still, the best teams make their breaks, and Texas is not playing like a very good team right now.
 
I think against Purke 1 run would be enough. He is dominating Texas. Give TCU they are very good and their experience in the Super Regional last year in Austin is Huge.
 
Soft grounder to Thomas who throws em out at first. Great 1-2-3 inning.

Horns are going to score this inning. Going to the bottom of 7 down 3-0.
 
2 pitch hitting. Ground out to 3rd for Shephard.

Why won't we make this guy pitch some balls.

And Wilson trying to get the crowd going.

Rupp...
 
Rupp, three pitches, three whiffs. 10th K I think for douchebag.

And scroll says Texas and tech are going to join the Pac10 as early as Tues but Aggy and someone else are looking at the SEC...
 
I disagree with the comment that Purke is pitching a great game. He's fallen behind several hitters and is throwing a lot of balls relative to strikes. He's not pitching poorly, but he's far from dominant, in my opinion.

What seems to be going on is too many Texas hitters are approaching the plate with a weak mindset--"This fish is the $4M man!"--and they're out before the first pitch is thrown.

At least Kevin Keyes is having a decent day ...
 
Moldy with another 2 pitch at bat and another weak ground right to 2nd to end the inning.

We do get on the board just like I predicted.

Have a long way to go, and only 2 more innings, so we need some DF magic.

Going to the 8th 3-1 roaches.
 
Thomas still in to pitch. I imagine Augie wants to save Ruffin as much as possible. May need him to go long if Taylor Brandon should have bad days.

First batter ground out to 3rd I think. 1 down.

Next batter with a line drive up the middle, 1 down 1 on.
