Madden retires the side. Great play by Daly on the third out.

1-0 WVU B3

[Mo Horn 8852]

Great defense

[Valmy77 13251]

Nice play by Daly.

Going bottom 3rd still 1-0 WV.

[zlavydra 2123]

I think we'll see some damage done the second time through the lineup.

[Machinator 32099]

1-2-3.

1-0 WVU after 3

[Valmy77 13251]

Man Wolf is just mowing us down.

[LTtxfan 49320]

Don't be afraid to see a few extra pitches Horns -- let's get this guy out of there ASAP...

[Mo Horn 8852]

Bats are anemic today

[zlavydra 2123]

We really punished the ball that inning.

Making contact just not finding the right spots. 

Unfortunately it's keeping his pitch count down.

I'm not advocating giving up outs through bunts, but at least threaten it and plantt the seed in the pitcher's mind.  It makes him work and think harder.  But the main thing is to make him throw more pitches.

Well we have to get people on base first....I mean unless it is Kennedy.

[ztejas 43524]

Seems like Kennedy should've had that

It's ok Madden got him.

Not sac bunting, just the threat of drag bunting, etc.  It really does make the pitcher work harder.

[Machinator 32099]

Madden gives up a two-out walk but strands the runner.

1-0 WVU B4

[Valmy77 13251]

Going to the bottom of the 4th. Still 1-0 WV

Need some baserunners.

Daly to lead off.

Edited May 26, 2021 by Valmy77

[ztejas 43524]

I was wondering if that walk was intentionalish. I find it hard to believe he can't hit the zone one in four times when trying. 

[Machinator 32099]

Daly gets a leadoff four-pitch walk.

[Valmy77 13251]

Let's go Zubia!

[ztejas 43524]

If Zubia ever doesn't start 0-1 I'll be concerned that he's suffered a traumatic brain injury. 

[zlavydra 2123]

Weird. Wolf walks Daly on 4, then ZZ swings at the first pitch.

Probably thought he'd get a fastball after Wolf couldn't find the zone against Daly.

[ztejas 43524]

One of these has to fall. I mean c'mon. WVU pitcher on borrowed time. 

[Valmy77 13251]

At least Zach made him throw some pitches.

[Valmy77 13251]

Ok up to Cam now. Let's get something going...maybe?

[zlavydra 2123]

Wow. That was obvious strike 3

[Machinator 32099]

Williams gets an extra strike but can't do anything with it.

1-0 WVU after 4

[Mo Horn 8852]

I've been watching Texas baseball for more than 4 decades, and left handed junk-ballers always seem to own us. Just crazy. 

[Lat22 4015]

This WVU pitcher is shutting us down again. 

[ztejas 43524]

One problem here is that WVU has absolutely nothing to lose so Wolf is going to throw as long as he wants.

[Valmy77 13251]

Damn it.

Alright keep us in this game Madden.

I knew this karmic shit would happen after last night with all you assholes were all "oh it so painful to watch shitty garbage trash teams like West Virginia, they shouldn't even be called a college baseball team" 

[TexasIsBetter 275]

Wild that this is the same team, albeit a legit #1, that won with a walk-off walk against Kansas the night before

College LHPs who can throw an off-speed pitch for a strike on a 2-0 count are going to be tough on everyone.

Don't be a bitch

[Machinator 32099]

Madden gives up a one-out single on his 70th pitch.

Edited May 26, 2021 by Machinator

Double followed by a sac fly.

2-0 WVU

Oh yes I was clearly 100% serious given the tone of that post. Calm the fuck down. I was also joking around about that last night.

Fuck 2-0 WV now.

[TwiceHorn 31512]

We best stop fucking around. 

[StassneyHorn 6624]

Sac fly to RF. 2 outs. WV 2-0.

There was no infield hit, it was a pure single up the middle

WV is really good when Wolf is pitching and they can hit if nothing else. I sure wish Kansas had pulled it out last night.

[freyguy 4282]

alright, we've fooled around long enough.  Time to put these fuckers in their place....

 

oh, and these announcers suck dick

[shadow_operative2.0 16012]

Well, this ain’t real cool. 

[Valmy77 13251]

That was bad by Ardoin.

[TexasIsBetter 275]

Well shit

[ztejas 43524]

Silas... he's been putting shit in the dirt all game. Please contain that. 

[StassneyHorn 6624]

GFD

wild pitch WV 3-0

[Machinator 32099]

Wild pitch scores another. 3-0 WVU. Groundout finally ends the inning.

[StassneyHorn 6624]

Looked safe

[Valmy77 13251]

We better get some runs.
