Thx, but doesn’t sound good.

[OU Sucks 8866]

I'm sorry guys, I just started the radio stream and Rice immediately scored two.  I'm gonna turn it off so you can all enjoy the game.

[Horny Bull 2760]

Come on Elder..

[NeverMarryAStripper 21907]

Could have been worse I guess.

[Dewey 3286]

3 hit batters, homeboy is rusty. He'll get it together. 

[zork 629]

[HuntinHorn 986]

2 runs, 3 hit batters, bases loaded......1 hit...

 

And got out of it without any further damage thankfully

[zlavydra 2123]

Dixon missed an abysmal 1-2 pitch there

[zlavydra 2123]

Didn't Stehly on first there.  One-out double.

[zlavydra 2123]

Tie game on Todd single

[HuntinHorn 986]

Nice hitting Todd!

 

[petscii 1189]

Getting some extra base hits...   Austin Todd. RBI  SINGLE... TODD ADVANCES TO SECOND ON THE THROW TO THE PLATE...TIED at TWO!

Zubia crushed that for a 2 run bomb

[HuntinHorn 986]

Zuuuuuuub!

[zlavydra 2123]

Hello scoreboard! 4-2 on Zubia bomb

[petscii 1189]

ZACH ZUBIA... 4-2. SCOREBOARD MOTHERFUCKERS

[Horny Bull 2760]

Zoooooooooob

[NeverMarryAStripper 21907]

SS not looking like a strength so far

[zlavydra 2123]

4-2 after 3

[NeverMarryAStripper 21907]

SS can’t field, but he smacked that out of here

Has to be better than last year.

[zlavydra 2123]

5-2 Faltine bomb!

[ss13 1832]

After three innings.

[zlavydra 2123]

5-2 mid-4th inning.  If this JUCO guy is Rice's best bet on the mound, I am gruntled.

[Laxtonto 12090]

So do we have some legit power this year at multiple spots in the lineup or is Rice throwing meatballs?

[Dewey 3286]

I've missed Craig Way

[zlavydra 2123]

5-3 as Rice gets a leadoff single, moves him over and plates him on another single.

Zubia hit a meatball, but he fucking crushed it.  The curve Faltine hit wasn't that bad a pitch.

[ss13 1832]

Shitty angle, but here’s the swing. 

 

 

[zlavydra 2123]

Top 5  - lead off single and Todd walks. 

[RiceOwl 74]

Graham ran the Rice program into the ground and left it with limited talent (hence the abundance of JuCos-Cruz and Canterino-drafted last year only good players). We’ve done a good job of recruiting in Bragga’s first year+ on the offensive side but the staff leaves a lot to be desired.

We can relate.  Are some Rice pitchers hurt?  This guy can't be the ace of the staff.

The best Rice pitcher is Roel Garcia who’s coming off TJ. Expecting him to start Sunday and pitch 2-3 innings. 

[Horny Bull 2760]

6-3 Texas M5

[zlavydra 2123]

6-3 on Zubia ground out.  Halfway done.

[zlavydra 2123]

6-3 after 6. Owls go quietly.

What is going on with the younger Cruz, is he just not good enough?

Read where he was picked as player of the year in the conference (pre-season).

That's the older brother, the SS. The younger bro is an outfielder but was not very good, at least when I saw him in HS.

Are you referring to Trei? He was a Cape Cod league All-Star and is projected as top 3 round pick. Just hasn’t hit tonight but he’ll be fine over the course of a season.

The younger brother, Antonio, is a good glue guy-but yes-probably going to have to work a day job unlike his father and grandfather.

Yep, Antonio is who I was talking about. TY.
