What's up with the skipper wearing the hard hat instead of a ball cap when entering the field.

He coaches third, which requires a helmet.

“Coaches” third, fify

[Horny Bull 2766]

Stehly...

[VirginiaLonghorn 4781]

Both onfield coaches must wear a helmet.

Taking up for his guy. Do you follow baseball at all?

How far up your ass can you stick your head?

Not far but I understand the game. 

[Blackcat00 759]

Early slide cost them a baserunner at 2nd. Nice job goober. 

[Horny Bull 2766]

Nice play to get the runner at second.

[txhorns 2413]

There's no reason the K-State catcher should still be in the game.  His going back towards Antico and standing over him started the whole thing.

Apparently not because that’s the umpires’ job. 

[Lat22 4017]

I’m thrilled he’s out, but turf base pits suck. As does the softball esqe Longhorn in CF.

[Horny Bull 2766]

Madden works around a couple of walks T4.

[TwiceHorn 31536]

I still didn't see Daly in any of the melee.

[TrashMaster G 17599]

Is %age of ABs with an 0-2 count a stat that is kept?  I swear Zubia is an All-American level player on that stat.

Dude digs holes better than a ditch digger.

Could have been verbal.

Best Stehly AB ever proves me wrong

In college you get less latitude to be an ass than in MLB.  And you certainly don't get a pass just because you were "defending your dude."

Turned out, there was nothing to defend.  Antico kind of fucked up the slide thanks to the stupid send.  Catcher got knocked back, came forward to show the ball, re-apply the tag, maybe scrap, but Antico just walked away, like Williams and Faltine should have done.

Yeah William's and Faltine fucked up because they were the major instigators in the situation.  The catcher had no need to get back at Antico to apply the tag though.  His movement backs Antico and standing over Antico is what set William's off.  Daly must have said something pretty bad or just wouldn't shut up after being told to by an umpire.  If he was tossed just for the typical shit talking that occurs during those "fights" then that's bullshit.

[VirginiaLonghorn 4781]

BIG 2 out RBI for Hodo

[Horny Bull 2766]

RBI single for Hodo, 3-1 Texas.

[zlavydra 2123]

Some other guys coming through big time.

A Big 12 crew? Proving my point on multiple levels. Enjoy the game bud.

From the back, the catcher looked like he had bad intentions, but from the front and the umpires' view, it wasn't very bad.  So I don't really see them seeing that as a provocation or participation.

[zlavydra 2123]

Bad luck for Antico. His swing might be coming around.

[Horny Bull 2766]

Antico shows their CF how to make a diving catch. 

[zlavydra 2123]

Did I see that right? Lead off hitter sporting a .557 OPS?

I guess the coach’s son gets to pick his spot in the order.

I’m confused on what you are trying to prove. Are saying because Cam was sticking up for Antico, he shouldn’t have been thrown out?

The KSU catcher stood over him. You have to protect your guy. Easy point.

Good thing Campbell stole, what a miserable bunt by Kennedy.

[Had Enough 2088]

Dumbest play in baseball. Left hander bunts with man on 2nd.

[zlavydra 2123]

Damn, even Ford hit it hard. Thanks, Kennedy.

[Horny Bull 2766]

Run scores on an error, 4-1 Texas.

Standing up for your teammates and getting tossed are not mutually exclusive. The umpire has the right to throw a player out for clearing the benches.

From earlier.

 

 

 

[zlavydra 2123]

Man, that was an excellent AB by Ardoin.

[HenryJames 66171]

No reason to swing at the first pitch there.

[Horny Bull 2766]

4-1 Texas after 5.

[WBT 20669]

Where are you going chief?

[troph 24906]

Nice dp!!

[zlavydra 2123]

Lead off walk does not score. Joe Morgan turns over in his grave.
