UTRGV @ Texas - 6:30 LHN

[zlavydra 2123]

The Broncs Vaqueros come bucking into town, led by starting pitcher Max Rimac, the second consecutive Slavic pitcher we've faced. Great Dane Pete Hansen takes the mound for the Horns.

Never know about Tuesday games,  but this could be a competitive game.

Vaqueros took 2/3 from Baylor to open the season and just split a 4 games series with Grand Canyon (normally solid club) in Az this past weekend.   That said, their stats are not impressive and Rimac hasn't pitched since 26 Feb when he was rocked by UW in Seattle.    Head coach is Derek Matlock,  former Texas St and WVU assistant, solid baseball guy.

[Fletch 5800]

Faltine is so fucking awesome 

[Horny Bull 2766]

Not ideal but I’ll take it.

[shadow_operative2.0 16040]

Nice little baserunning gift from them. Kinda dig their unis though. 

[Horny Bull 2766]

Quick inning for Hansen.

[Fletch 5800]

I’ll take it 

[Machinator 32099]

At least Hansen is throwing strikes.

[zlavydra 2123]

Well, we saw the worst attempted throw by a catcher in recent history.

[Machinator 32099]

Bases loaded, one out.

[Horny Bull 2766]

Bases loaded with one out for Ardoin.

[Fletch 5800]

This catcher fucking sucks. Let’s run on him all game 

[Machinator 32099]

It's 1-0 UT, not sure how.

[shadow_operative2.0 16040]

Let’s see how many we can score without swinging. 

[Horny Bull 2766]

1-0 Texas.

[Machinator 32099]

Walked him in.

[Radical Larry 28664]

Skipper already had enough of this guy’s shit.

[Horny Bull 2766]

New pitcher for UTRGV.

[zlavydra 2123]

Na shledanou, Max!

[Horny Bull 2766]

Faltine...

[rivin 199]

Zubia is always the best base runner

[Horny Bull 2766]

RBI single for Melendez, 2-0 Texas.

[Machinator 32099]

Hansen gives up a one-out single, then a 5-4-3 double play ends the inning.

[Horny Bull 2766]

Nice DP ends the inning T2.

[Pato del Muerto 52640]

Turned this on and see a right handed Fernando Valenzuela on the hill for rgv. 

[Horny Bull 2766]

2-0 Texas after 2.

[Cousin Strawberry 1263]

He is actually pretty good.  Great location with his off speed stuff.

[zlavydra 2123]

Guy has decent stuff.  Hodo has smoked two balls with nothing to show for it.

[Horny Bull 2766]

Another quick inning for Hansen.

[Machinator 32099]

1-2-3 inning for Hansen.

[Machinator 32099]

How will they score that, double with an E7?

[Horny Bull 2766]

Kennedy reaches third to lead off B3 courtesy of an error.

[Horny Bull 2766]

Sac fly for Zubia, 3-0 Texas.

[rivin 199]

Nice stolen base from Antico

[Machinator 32099]

Antico steals 3rd and then Ardoin sends one over the left field wall.

[Horny Bull 2766]

Two run homer for Ardoin, 5-0 Texas.

[zlavydra 2123]

COOKIE

[Machinator 32099]

Ardoin was due. He's been hitting the ball well.

[EuroHorn 3272]

This team has been hitting the ball very well in the last four games 

[Machinator 32099]

Bases loaded again on some solid two-out hitting. Pitching change incoming.

[zlavydra 2123]

No. 9 hitter who isn't an automatic out is quite refreshing.

[Machinator 32099]

 

[Horny Bull 2766]

5-0 Texas after 3.

[Machinator 32099]

Well, I jinxed it.

[Pato del Muerto 52640]

Did I hear the mario coin sound that they use for run scored there on that last out?

Yes, they've been doing it all season.

[Machinator 32099]

From earlier:

 

[Cousin Strawberry 1263]

Some of these UTRGV pitchers have a slight case of Mantecafluenza.
