Why are we going mid-week for a road trip?  Kind of unusual.

Been doing it for the last 2-3 years. 

RPI weights games on the road higher.

Ok then.

I guess Nico. Although neither Henley nor Kingham lasted long enough against KSU to be ruled out 

[txhorns 2409]

I'm assuming nico but just haven't seen anything official yet

I had a minute to discuss the umpire interference call that occurred and prevented at least 1 run with a colleague of mine who umpires collegiate baseball.

First, the 2nd base umpire was NOT in the correct position so fuck him. (my guess is he was there as he is not mobile enough to be in a better position in case of a close play at second base.)

Second, since the ball went past a defender who could have made a play on the ball, the ball should have been considered a live ball, and runners could keep advancing. 

(even though this was subjective, it seems, and most likely the reasoning for only allowing the interference base hit.)

Third, the only time a dead ball should be called in this type of scenario or similar scenario, is when the ball does not pass a player in the infield (pitcher excluded) and hits the umpire who is in the infield grass. 

Lastly, I hope that umpire has a nasty bruise to remind him to stay in proper positioning on the field and also gets docked points for his review.

Lol at the umpires actually getting reviewed

Well that's interesting.

[X-Wing @Aliciousness 103]

I'm surprised there hasn't been any talk about moving the game up at all.  It's supposed to start pouring in Corpus Christi starting around 8:30 tonight

Underway in Corpus.

[TwiceHorn 31440]

HIbbeler dong. 1-0 Texas.

[X-Wing @Aliciousness 103]

Holy Christ was that a mistake of an 0-2 pitch.

Tate gets on, gets picked off, and Hibbeler blasts one over the left field wall. 1-0 horns, T1, 1 out

[texasstrong12 4668]

I posted this last night, just lift one to LF and it's getting out in this ballpark. 

[X-Wing @Aliciousness 103]

Btw, not sure if the student announcers calling the game on this stream have ever done a baseball program before.  Laughingly bad

But still better than Lowell?

[rivin 199]

Camera work is iffy too, but at least it's free.

[Horny Bull 2759]

2-0

[Doc Holliday 199]

Good start.  We are playing aggressively. 

[Doc Holliday 199]

I want to see how we play in the middle innings.  So far it's when we've weakened. 

[Doc Holliday 199]

3-0 runners at 2/1 w/2outs

[X-Wing @Aliciousness 103]

Seeing it really well against this guy so far. Hamilton's base knock was a definitely a pitch out of the zone. That's 3 singles in a row now

[OU Sucks 8798]

So now we know what happened to this guy:

 

[Doc Holliday 199]

Bullpen is warming up for atmcc

[Horny Bull 2759]

3-0

[texasstrong12 4668]

Think Pierce gave some players an ass chewing after last nights terrible situational hitting.

Swinging K to end the top of 1 

[Doc Holliday 199]

3-0 Texas

I certainly hope so

[X-Wing @Aliciousness 103]

"Blair Henley, known to go the distance.  David Pierce probably going to ride out his midweek starter the distance tonight."  So they didn't really research either.

That'll be all for me on this stream's audio tonight

[Doc Holliday 199]

8 pitches, last one a breaking ball called K, 1 out

[Doc Holliday 199]

Hbp, runner on 1 w/ 1 out

[OU Sucks 8798]

"I will return shortly. Just dealing with technical difficulties here."

[Doc Holliday 199]

Runners at 1/2 w/ 1 out on oppo fly

[Doc Holliday 199]

I'm happy to post play by play as I can.  I listen to most games. 

[Doc Holliday 199]

2 outs of a comebacker with runners at 2/3

[Doc Holliday 199]

Bases are being loaded for the right hander

[Doc Holliday 199]

K!!  Ends the inning. 

[Doc Holliday 199]

3-0 Texas.  Into the top of 2

[Doc Holliday 199]

9/1/2 up for Texas 

[Doc Holliday 199]

1 out with a grounder to SS

[texasstrong12 4668]

How is that not a HBP? 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Actually, looks like Shaw may have leaned into that.
