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 

oh he would have actually been out by 20 feet.  he was barely at third before the LF threw it to SS

 

and Austin gives us a go ahead

[zlavydra 2,142]

Here's Skyler's chance to make amends.

[Pato del Muerto 53,451]

Leading

[Levi 2,663]

Nice Todd. Blessed feet will be getting a pair of donated cleats. 

[Fletch 5,817]

There ya go Todd! Good for him. More importantly, good for us

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.

Messinger hit .313 in conference last year

No yeah I saw him strolling into 3rd and yeah. Just looked kind of weird 

[AUS-97HORN 12,050]

He didn't. Those are numbers for all games.  He hit somewhere between .220 and .240 with zero HR's in conference play last year. His best games were against Omaha and Lafayette.

[LTtxfan 49,986]

SKYLER at bats today so far...

[sidis 10,013]

5’s approach at the plate today has cost us quite a few runs. Ugh. 

[AUS-97HORN 12,050]

well thats nice....   we need about eleventy billion insurance runs though.

[Hagbard Celine 11,215]

trading DPs

 

[dcar00 14,947]

lets get 3 runs and end this bitch.

[Fletch 5,817]

Fuckin a! The bullpen hasn’t been flashy the last 2 days but dammit, they’re getting outs. Bring in Harrison to close this shit out

Yeah he hacks at everything early in the count. 

[LTtxfan 49,986]

DOUBLEPLAY!!!

FUCK YEAH !!!

[AUS-97HORN 12,050]

someone told Faltine that maybe you dont have to swing when the ball is in the dirt

[TwiceHorn 32,071]

Wooohoo, a leadoff walk!  For us this time!

OK, yeah it was .236.  I blame Bowlsby for the Big 12 website switching from conf games to all when I clicked on the individual stat tab.

uh about that.....

[dcar00 14,947]

unreal. no breaks today.  gonna have to win it the hard way.

[zlavydra 2,142]

Here we go:

https://big12sports.com/stats.aspx?path=baseball&year=2021&conf=true

In 2021, Skyler his .236 with (more importantly) an awful OPS of .647.  In 89 AB's, he managed a grand total of 8 XBHs and 7 (!) RBI.  Bad news - that's who he is.  Good news - he's outperformed that by far already this year.

Yep. He’s fine in the 7 or 8 hole and solid defensively but he’s not going to be a big run producer.

Faltine is a hot head that plays with a chip on his shoulder. Something as benign as just moving him down in the lineup could put him in a better place mentally.

[dcar00 14,947]

thats not a strike.  should be 3-0.

[Horn80 6,356]

Alright

[AUS-97HORN 12,050]

yay us

2 out double.

[dcar00 14,947]

HODO!  get 2 more.  can we get some more CF head shaking cockroach.

[zlavydra 2,142]

Hodo showing some bat speed. Nice.

[Horn80 6,356]

Alright, alright 

[zlavydra 2,142]

Thanks for that abysmal 2-strike pitch, Frog!

[AUS-97HORN 12,050]

5-2   texas.

 

Ivan witha  single 

[dcar00 14,947]

There we go Ivan!  get one more.

5-2 Horns.

[Pato del Muerto 53,451]

Funny what drips in when you have to play in round rock. 

[AUS-97HORN 12,050]

DDA fucking  front and center as usual....   how that fucker keeps being allowed in those seats amazes the shit out of me

[VirginiaLonghorn 4,902]

Great to see Saarloos has some JP4 in his bullpen, too,

[Horn80 6,356]

Horns up for guy sitting behind home plate.

[Hagbard Celine 11,215]

I literally dropped in to say the same thing, that man stays waiting for the front row to leave just to slide in for the later innings lol
