Not what I was talking about.

Talking about rankings and seeding in the tournament.

It should work with someone whipping your face with a garden hose.

Nevada has a solid team. They put the ball in play and hit everything on the screws. 

What killed them were a few walks and that dropped fly ball in right field.

They also got better than average pitching last night (for them), with the last guy probably pitching the best 3 innings of his life.  Announcers mentioned more than once last night that some or all of their weekend guys might go tonight.  I don't think that's anything to fear, but the downside is we might have to wait for Sharts.

[Machinator 32099]

Melendez at cleanup, awesome.

[zlavydra 2123]

[zlavydra 2123]

Jake threw 5 innings on Saturday and gave up 6 ER on 12 hits. So he should give way to Sharts quick enough.

[jw4381 3109]

Nice little 5 pitch inning.

[Machinator 32099]

Five-pitch inning for Hansen.

[zlavydra 2123]

Instant Anticout

[Machinator 32099]

Kennedy is starting to swing the bat well again.

[Blackcat00 759]

Kennedy turning it on with his bat now. 

[zlavydra 2123]

Starter has pitched 33 innings and only walked 6. Yet he has a WHIP of 1.70.

Maybe he hits a lot of guys

[Machinator 32099]

That was a very generous strike 3 call.

[Blackcat00 759]

A bit outside there.

[Machinator 32099]

0-0 after one. Melendez hits one to deep center that probably leaves the park last weekend.

[Machinator 32099]

Hansen has thrown 13 strikes and 1 ball through two complete innings.

[Machinator 32099]

Petrinsky gets two pitches down the middle and doesn't miss the second time. Leadoff single.

[Blackcat00 759]

We can't bunt for shit. 

[Blackcat00 759]

I guess a dinger will work instead. 

[83Horn 1649]

Well, if you can't bunt, jack a two run homer.

[Radical Larry 28664]

Hodo!

[Machinator 32099]

Hodo bomb to LCF.

2-0 Texas

[zlavydra 2123]

Trying to give this guy an out. Failed at that, so Hodo goes yard.

[rivin 199]

Hell yeah Hodo!

[jw4381 3109]

hodo go boom

[Machinator 32099]

Blue's zone is fucking wack, yo.

[Machinator 32099]

2-0 Texas after 2

[Machinator 32099]

20 pitches, three innings for Hansen. 19 strikes.

[Machinator 32099]

 

[Machinator 32099]

Another good swing by Kennedy.

[Machinator 32099]

2-0 Texas after 3

[83Horn 1649]

Welp, there goes the perfect game.

[Pato del Muerto 52640]

Chance Ruffin laughs at 23 in a row

[zlavydra 2123]

Good to see other teams make moronic baserunning decisions. 

[Machinator 32099]

Two-out RBI single.

2-1 Texas

[Machinator 32099]

2-1 B4

[Machinator 32099]

New pitcher, another Saturday starter for Nevada.

[Machinator 32099]

Williams gets stranded at second.

2-1 Texas after 4

[TwiceHorn 31624]

OK, uniform question provoked by the throwback unis with some wearing "kneepants" and others having them all the way down.

When I was in high school, we were given pants that didn't have different lengths, same when buying uniform pants for other teams. On a long-legged guy like me they were mostly kneepants, some of the wee infielders could wear them "down" on their shoes.  Some thought it was cool to have them "down."  Tall guys had no choice.

Hansen's a tall guy and kneepants.  Zubia's a tall guy and down.

I guess they make long baseball pants, now?  I am kind of surprised the throwbacks have long pants, though.

At least it was no harm, no foul

[Machinator 32099]

Hansen works himself out of a jam with a double play.

2-1 Texas

[Fletch 5800]

Daly has to be there covering 2nd. Come on. Basic fundamentals. But nice 6-4-3 to cap off the inning. Let’s get the bats rolling 

[Machinator 32099]

1-2-3 inning.

2-1 Texas after 5

Yeah but Jesus your job as a fielder when the ball is in play is “where should I be” whether it’s covering 3rd as a pitcher cause the 3rd baseman had to charge in for a bunt or a catcher backing up first on a routine grounder, there’s always somewhere you should be. And Daly should’ve been at 2nd. Eh whatever. He’ll get called on it during film 

[TexArcher 38081]

This game is too close.
