Man I loved that team. It was just awesome from day 1. Majewski was the best hitter I ever saw play for Texas.

Wait, you saw Michael Cantu play, right?

Damnit!

[HuntinHorn 1005]

Attaboy Zube!! Swing at that 3rd strike and get it done!

[Droopy 2639]

Nice piece of hitting! Texas 3-1

Majewski was so clutch. "A country boy can survive..."

[Steamboat1874 4346]

This overhead angle is absurd.

Can't tell shit.

Every pitch should be from the CF camera.

Would be nice to see Melendez hit something again at some point.

You can say that again.

[zlavydra 2142]

Melendez and Daly got absolutely dominated there, but still 3-1.

[ztejas 44227]

Daly continues to disappoint.

Agreed. They've had technical difficulties all day. Now showing lightning in the area.

Going to the Top of the 5th, Texas 3-1

[VirginiaLonghorn 4911]

WTF has happened to Daly?

Yeah we need those guys to at least be 250 hitters in the post-season. Not sure what is going on. Maybe people have the book on them now, that would suck.

[Valmy77 13626]

While I doubt they would call a post-season game early I would sure like to get five innings done before the storm hits.

Yep. They pulled the staff from all camera locations bc of potential lightning. Charmin soft, but it IS ESPN...

[Valmy77 13626]

Man Stevens is locked in. Just mowing these dudes down.

[Steamboat1874 4346]

Big rain cell north of OKC but is going to miss the stadium.

Yeah I don't get it.  It seems like ESPN is being more conservative about the lightning than the Big 12/NCAA which I wouldn't have thought was possible.

[Valmy77 13626]

Going bottom 5. Stevens has 70 pitches through 5. I hope he can get to the 8th.

[ztejas 44227]

How is it too dangerous for the camera guys but not the players?

So are we just going to get this wide angle the rest of the game? Weird.

[zlavydra 2142]

Apparently this guy is just unhittable (unless you're Zubia).

ESPN may have a different mileage rule for lightning than the conference does. 

[Valmy77 13626]

Hodo goes down on three straight pitches.

Ok there we go. I guess ESPN sent their camera guys back out again.

Just the ones up high, apparently.

[Valmy77 13626]

Or not...back to weird wide angle.

And then Faltine strikes out. Damn. Olds is suddenly looking like Greg Maddux.

Gotta give camera guys a break here.  Many of them are holding large metal objects standing on top of metal scaffolding atop metal surfaces.  They can't just up and run outta there as easily as fans can.  

What's the conference tourney rule?  If the weather turns shitty...they can't just postpone and have us come back hours later and finish the game with two other games waiting to play. I guess there's time Friday morning to make up some games.  BUt can they just call ours after 5 or 7 innings of play?

[TwiceHorn 32079]

11Ks?  Get your shit together.

[BillyGoatHill 4421]

Great inning at the plate there.....

[zlavydra 2142]

I think there's been one foul ball since Zubia's AB.

[ztejas 44227]

I hope 3 runs is enough to win.

Yea, this is one of those that I have periodically forgotten that we were leading. Its like that round of golf that you make 8 pars in a row from the woods by scrambling and 1 putting.

Typo

[Valmy77 13626]

Nice. Stevens probably has one more inning in him.

Let's get some insurance or, you know, at least make some contact on Olds.

[VirginiaLonghorn 4911]

One positive about the single camera angle … the strike zone nail biting has been eliminated.

[Valmy77 13626]

Hey look! Somebody hit a ball.

[Valmy77 13626]

I hate being dominated by 5.2 ERA scrubs like this.

Going to the 7th.

[brojangles2 795]

LOL at that whole "lets ruin some shitty bullpens" sentiment. 

[ztejas 44227]

This is getting to be embarrassing. 

[Barbacoa 1934]

This is pathetic.

I said feast on shitty bullpens. FEAST!

And it was just a suggestion the team has not taken up.

[Valmy77 13626]

Uh oh. Come on Stevens, slam the door.

What are we gonna do when we have to start facing much better pitching in the regional/super/cws?

[Valmy77 13626]

Stevens at 97 pitches...

[Droopy 2639]

Nice crowd shots of the inbreds doing the only thing they know how to do. Fuck you and your shitty school, city, state.

Let's go, 'Horns!!!!

Hopefully be better than this.

[elfenix 34751]

fuck ou

[ztejas 44227]

Stupid fucking okies

[zlavydra 2142]

At the beginning of the year, If you'd told me Stevens could hold anyone to 1 run while throwing 100 pitches, I would've laughed. Joke's on me.  Way to go, Tristan.

[Valmy77 13626]

That was one weak slide at 2nd base.

Strike em out, throw em out.

Way to pitch 7 strong Stevens! Take a seat.

[brojangles2 795]

Love it when 1 pitch is 2 outs! Boom! 

[GreenspointTexas 9969]

Chill yall. Its the Big 12 tournament. These games dont mean shit. Omaha is the real prize. The team has already won 0.5 big 12 titles already, jfc
