That was bad by Ardoin.

Yeah, weak effort.

[lemonandaturd 4285]

Bats need to help Madden now.  

[GreenspointTexas 9662]

Yeah he was safe

Looked safe

He's out but that was super close. 

[Machinator 32099]

Ardoin should have a few more PBs to his name than he does this season.

Clearly out, not sure what you are looking at. Really close though.

Yeah that was a very debatable "wild" pitch.

[zlavydra 2123]

Why flail at a 2-0 pitch, Hodo?

[Dahobbs 17627]

Ugh.

[Valmy77 13251]

We just have nothing against Wolf. Wish we could get at least one run, to keep us within striking distance if we get to their bullpen.

[Machinator 32099]

Wolf continues to make quick work of the lineup.

3-0 WVU after 5

[Lat22 4015]

Weak fly balls. That’s all we got. 

[Valmy77 13251]

12 outs left. 

[ztejas 43524]

Fucking shutout one hitter through 5. 

And he only has 4 strikeouts. We can't buy a hit.

Hodo fucked up that whole inning by swinging weakly  at ball 3.

[BachelorTrek 3054]

Bats are Afraid.

Jobu needs a Refill.

[TwiceHorn 31514]

Also I think it's time to sit madden. 

I hate this fucking tournament. 

[EuroHorn 3267]

Wow, wild play in the Jacksonville State v Southern game on espnu. Will be on sports center 

[Royal With Cheese 3]

I live in Austin. What channel is the game on? 

[Machinator 32099]

WVU batter gives us a gifted out with a weak pop-up on a 3-0 count.

For what? He is going to get more than a weeks rest for the Regional. What is this football and we need to avoid injury or something?

And why hate the tournament? When has anything bad ever happened to us in this tournament? On the contrary in both 2002 and 2005 good runs in this tournament helped us get momentum. It is part of the five championships we try to win every year.

ESPN+. I posted a stream link upthread.

[ztejas 43524]

If WVU is playing any other team in this tournament they're up 6-0. 

[Machinator 32099]

Daly boots one to allow a two-out baserunner.

[perfectchaos007 6677]

The Big12 score graphic makes it look like its an 8 seed v. 2 seed matchup. I had to double check that we were the #1 seed

[Machinator 32099]

Madden works around it.

3-0 WVU B6

[StassneyHorn 6624]

No dependable third pitch is allowing teams like WVa and piss ants to get to him

[GreenspointTexas 9662]

I fucking loathe oklahoma

[Valmy77 13251]

Alright maybe Kennedy will do that bunt the announcers seem to think we should do.

[Machinator 32099]

Kennedy goes the opposite direction for a home run.

3-1 WVU

[shadow_operative2.0 16012]

There’s one back.

Ok, here we go guys

[justhookit 4191]

Can’t contain Kennedy 🤘

How about a homer? 

[Cousin Strawberry 1261]

It's weird, last outing he came out with a fresh arm and super pumped and he overthrew, left the ball in the middle of the plate and belt high and got ripped.  Today, he is chunking the ball 56'-58'.  He shortened his stride or something.

[Valmy77 13251]

Way to bunt the ball Kennedy!

Man he has been showing some power lately.

[Valmy77 13251]

Ok Antico let's go!

Blisters are a pain to deal with and his pitch count might be limited. Limiting the damage on the blister could be a good move so Ty doesn’t make it worse. He hasn’t pitched a bad a game tho and if the blister is fine then leave him in at this point. 

[BachelorTrek 3054]

Ball 5

[Valmy77 13251]

Hmmmm...Wolf having control issues? Interesting...

[Machinator 32099]

Antico walks but Daly grounds into a 4-6-3 double play.

[Valmy77 13251]

Damnit nevermind.

[GreenspointTexas 9662]

Nolan Ryan on the mound for wvu

Yeah I was thinking of the blister. 

Doesn't seem we should be running his pitch count in any event. 

Not a comment on the performance.

3-1 WVU after 6

This has been proven wrong multiple times during the course of this season. 

[ztejas 43524]

Where is the bunt?

No, a lefty who can throw a breaking ball for a strike consistently. Hasn't been crushed all year.

Madden back out at 95 pitches.
