2 on no out  and we are done

What a shitshow that was

[Hookem2147 21372]

Augie is rolling over in his grave seeing our bunting this year 

[WBT 20677]

Dumb taking the bat out of Messinger's hands

[Pato del Muerto 52640]

Messinger sure fucked that inning to bits

For fucks sake we make this shot easy on the other team. Often.

Gotta get that bunt down. Holy hell that was a wasted opportunity.

for the most part we forgot how to bunt effectively about 8 years ago... including Augies last years. 

i mean for fuck sake in 2019 our backup catcher degloved his fucking hand on a bunt attempt.

awful. messinger sucks.

He's had a couple of uncharacteristically great games against conference pitching so far this year. But I expect him to end up with a sub-.700 OPS.

[ClubWhatever 12159]

Daly’s defense has been nails. 

[Hookem2147 21372]

Messinger and Todd are career sub .220 hitters against Big 12 pitching. They are who they are. 

[Levi 2592]

Second time in a row Messinger and Daly could have made something happen but didn’t.

I suspected as much about Skyler, but I couldn't verify it. Did you find that on KU's web site? I looked, but I don't think they offered a "conference-only" breakdown.

yeah.  I kind of blame Pierce there.  I could be wrong but Messinger looks like a guy who has hardly ever bunted in his life.

I looked at his Big 12 stats from last year and he was right around .220.  my guess is he was worse before that because last year was an outlier as far as his season overall BA.

I think I let the guy swing and take whatever happens.  Daly is up after him and he sucks worse.  the hope was no double play and get to Faltine I guess.

[LTtxfan 49379]

Texas needs to score some runs here in the 5th !!!

C'MON

[LTtxfan 49379]

Worthless at bat Faltine...

[Cajun 11754]

I see your point, but he hit that pretty damn hard.

Which only bolsters my point if you think about it.  
 

17-25mph wind is an angel to left and a stone cold killer to right.

[zlavydra 2123]

Faltine just got carved up like the Thanksgiving turkey.

[dcar00 14382]

this team makes shitty pitchers look like Cy Young.

[dcar00 14382]

2-2 to Top of 6.

[zlavydra 2123]

Army knocked this guy out in the 5th. Army.

[texastroubadour 1228]

Welp…Cy Young always pitching for our opponents

Lot of slider speed bats.  

[Deej 76983]

This team is just prepping us for the disappointment this Fall.

You're not wrong, but going just on that, we should have knocked this guy out in the 2nd.

[ClubWhatever 12159]

Let him try to finish the inning. No Sthele please 

[zlavydra 2123]

Nah, Gordon's done.  Did as well as you could reasonably expect.

Yep, they’re squaring him up.

[AUS-97HORN 11824]

both of the out Gordon got this inning were "lucky"  the last 3 batters clubbed the shit out of him, we got lucky to get a line drive catch

[texastroubadour 1228]

Got to hold ‘em here. Otherwise…well, you know

You sure? Seems like the first was an easy grounder.

[AUS-97HORN 11824]

why the fuck are our relievers infucking capable of throwing fucking strikes

[Fletch 5800]

Our infield is fucking nails. Alright Ivan. Do your thing 

[Horn80 6135]

Cmon Horns

i would argue it was lucky because it was barely fair when Ivan got it.        its baseball its still an out... but if that was foul, he gets another chance.  

 

and finally we get the needed 3rd out with scarry bases covered

[LTtxfan 49379]

Nice play IVAN !!!

No runs for tcu in Top of the 6th --  stranding runners at 2nd and 3rd base

Score. 2-2

[VirginiaLonghorn 4785]

I’d take Sacco in a minute.

Well it took us 30 innings and Austin wood’s ligaments for us to beat army once upon a time.

That was BC.  Needed Preston Clark to beat Army.

[Horn80 6135]

Bring him home

[zlavydra 2123]

3 balls in a row ripped.  

[AUS-97HORN 11824]

yay....

 

but   another RISP hit that we cant fucking score on

Hey, at least Pierce isn't sending them to get thrown out by 10ft. 

[Hookem2147 21372]

I do not like this matchup for Todd at all. He has like 3 hits all year that actually left the infield. 

[Horn80 6135]

Keith and Greg are great.

Is Stehly that slow? Probably would’ve been close at the plate but off the bat I figured we were gonna send him. Pierce is the weirdest fucking 3rd base coach 

[Horn80 6135]

There you go

[LTtxfan 49379]

AUSTIN TODD !!!
