I mean, they're out of pitching, but they're not a bad team, at all.

They're a just above average college baseball team who played a shit schedule and rallied to beat a few good teams.

That's all they are.

They would finish 7th in the Big 12 if they were lucky

We have better kids in the stands than Fairfield has players.

Still think it's funny that they're on par with ASU.

It’s really human nature for the ump to give the benefit of the doubt when the pitcher hits the mascot with half of his pitches. 

I don't know where it's gonna go.  Swear to god.

At their level that’s a pretty fucking awesome accomplishment.

God, the fucking excuse machine being cranked up by these announcers is nauseating.

Yeah, I've stopped on the SEC network this weekend when scrolling around between games, and it's non-stop homer bullshit.

And meanwhile on the Longhorn Network, it's endless spin and excuse-making for whoever Texas is playing.  Last night when their pitcher struggled, we heard "It's a blister!" and then "It's a tendon injury" and then when the pitcher air mails one and then just stands there while a runner scores, not a single critical word (which was richly deserved) for a pitcher who throws a wild pitch and can't be bothered to cover home.  No way Texas would have gotten that non-criticism.

[Barbacoa 1,934]

ASU would look just as pathetic right now. This is what it looks like when you run out of pitching before a game even starts. 

[Horny Bull 2,759]

Another 1-2-3 inning for Hansen. 

[jw4381 3,071]

It's in the ATX DNA for some reason.  Mystifying.

Always gotta build up the other guy.

I blame Mack.

[Surly Bevo 24,908]

I mean who gives a shit we are up 5-0 and if their pitchers keep rolling out the strong 5+ WHIP it's gonna be a struggle to even keep Texas fans engaged.  

[Mo Horn 8,832]

Other than the nice blond, I'm so tired of this sound room commercial. 

[Getafix 28,594]

IIRC, the announcers mentioned it was the first time in the history of Fairfield's league that a team made it into a Regional.

[Mac8111 2,107]

Fuck Fairfield , just for the fact that they have to have wristbands for the pitchers.

[Horn80 6,118]

Go Horns pour it on.

Pretty much.  Didn't really stop to appreciate how bad ASU's injuries in the off-season and during the season were for them.  But either team would have had a pitching coach walking around the locker room asking, "Anybody here start a game on the mound back in high school?"  As Augie "Sun Tzu" Garrido would have said, "A pitching duel is often over before it ever begins.  Mainly because a duel requires a second party to the battle."  

[Deej 76,759]

If you can find anechoic chambers all around the world, then why do we need to brag about ours every commercial break?

One Word........Volume. 

[VoteforHank 117]

I don’t subscribe to LHN but I’m watching now on ESPN app on my phone……..WTF and cool! 

[dcar00 14,181]

Pierce was all over the ump. Discretely of course but they went at it for a good minute or so.

Pierce was probably telling him " This game isn't over AND they are hitting us. Call the game right"

Yea it's actually sometimes hard to hit against this kind of pitching because it either is a spike, a strike, in your ear or hitting the fucking bull

I hate when catchers do that.  My coach made me practice throwing it hard to the pitchers glove side shoulder over and over until it was rote. It keeps the pitcher engaged and not chasing lollipops all over the mound. 

Plus its fucking lazy.

Lol my high school coach never made it to the majors but was a catcher in the minors for 10+ years; he was the same way.

”Throw the ball back to him the way you want him to throw it to you” lol…

[83Horn 1,640]

Antico looked like he was waiting for the ump to call that a strike

[chase25 2,048]

Well, you can damn sure bet that this will be the last time the MAAC gets an at-large bid. They will have managed to go 2-2 though

[AUS-97HORN 11,757]

lol even the announcers are surprised at a thrown strike.

Just saying even a mediocre or no name has its day.   That’s why I love the basketball, softball and baseball tournaments. Not trying to be a sick.
