Beatdown. Love it.

Saw that coming

So did Ivan. 

[ztejas 43524]

Uhhh I might pull this kid. 

[OU Sucks 8893]

They might want to get someone warmed up

[OB3 3629]

Back to back!

[TexArcher 37989]

Back-to-back bombs.

Gonna get ugly today.  Again.

[OU Sucks 8893]

Balls flying everywhere

Agree or disagree: The DH's spot in the batting order is a decent, though not nearly perfect, indicator of the depth of your bench.

[TexArcher 37989]

Serious question: how the hell was Incarnate Word 9-5 coming into this series?  They look like they couldn't beat a lot of high school teams.

[OB3 3629]

I know it’s IW. But Gordon looks great so far

Haven’t played anyone. Swept a terrible UT Arlington team and scraped together a few other wins against crappy teams.

More baserunning issues

[Balcones 309]

Faltine not touch 2nd?

On the way back after the fly ball. Gotta touch it again going back to first

Yes … on the way, but not on returning.

[OB3 3629]

I feel like O’Dowd has power in his swing. I’m just waiting to see him really connect with one

[Biff Tannen 45695]

Good to see Ivan doing his thing.  Last year that 6 game streak was fun, but the consistency SO FAR is wonderful to see.

[TexArcher 37989]

Man, that's a nice piece of hitting by EK.

Followed Moreland’s description to a T …

[totallynotabuttpirate 5400]

EK ain't giving up the leadoff spot. 

[VirginiaLonghorn 4780]

Actually feeling badly for the IW reliever.  He couldn’t find his ass with both hands and the coach let him have it …

[GreenspointTexas 9662]

Just call the game already

 

 

run rule in effect for today?

[Levi 2588]

Did Messinger shorten up his swing?

[Balcones 309]

No one wants to be the DH on this team.

[ztejas 43524]

I find it hard to believe Texas has never scored 10 runs in 4 straight games. 

[ztejas 43524]

I don't want to overreact but Murphy Stehly might be the greatest college baseball player of all time.

His last two at bats have certainly been up there with the best of all time.  I imagine someone has hit two consecutive grand slams.

I think he's batting over .450 now.

He’s keeping his left foot on the ground.  That’s definitely a change versus earlier in the year. 

[VirginiaLonghorn 4780]

Nice effort, Faltine ..

[ClubWhatever 12154]

Hey another baserunning gaffe

Yep.  Fernando Tatis, Sr. did it in the same inning.

[Balcones 309]

Not sure what Pierce just told Trey. Pierce just watched that play happen without any signal to get down.

[ztejas 43524]

That was bizarre. 

[VirginiaLonghorn 4780]

That was loafing.

FIFY

Seriously though, how on earth have we kept him out of the lineup for so long? And surely he has to have a spot going forward?

[OB3 3629]

Still hitting 90 in the 7th. Impressive

[ztejas 43524]

Pierce gonna let Gordon throw a CG?

Surely not. 

[TexArcher 37989]

Gordon looks like he could 12 against these guys today.

[VirginiaLonghorn 4780]

May have been IW .. but, Gordon was efficient, threw strikes, and let the D do their jobs.  Very nice effort.

Just what he needed. Stayed down and on the edges. 

[Valmy77 13251]

It is a hopeful sign for the conference season that Gordon had the best start this weekend...or a sign of oncoming doom but I choose the first one.

Nobody's gonna hold us under 10 runs until 2026 at the earliest, so it don't matter.

[VirginiaLonghorn 4780]

Geezus .. Stehly 

[OB3 3629]

Hat trick!

[Balcones 309]

I believe they were saying “turkey” for the curtain call.

[HuntinHorn 986]

Three cranks for Stehly

[ztejas 43524]

Holy shit.

[TexArcher 37989]

Ted Williams was the left-handed Murphy Stehly.

[ztejas 43524]

Alright can't wait to see how Trey gets thrown out this time.
