Houston Baptist @ Texas - 6:30 on LHN

[Horny Bull 2759]

 

[zlavydra 2119]

Daly's first rest in a while.

[Bevo&Pevo 5120]

Guess I got about 15 minutes to hide all the sharp pointy items and the poison.    Oh well, Let's play ball!

[Bevo&Pevo 5120]

Zane gets a shot for redemption.  Hopefully, he'll be better starting than relief. 

[Horny Bull 2759]

1-2-3 inning for Morehouse.

[zlavydra 2119]

Daxton Tinker? 

[OU Sucks 8797]

I feel bad for Houston Baptist...we're going to take our anger out on them.

[totallynotabuttpirate 5395]

Time to take out the weekend's frustration on these poor souls. 

[Bevo&Pevo 5120]

When was the last time ya' saw back to back bunt singles?

[Horny Bull 2759]

4 pitches in, it’s 2-0 Texas.

[zlavydra 2119]

Just needed to Tinker with the offense.

Jeez..HR for Murph

[Hookem2147 21188]

Interesting

 

[hobbes2702 13028]

This dude is throwing absolute meat 

[zlavydra 2119]

I hope Murphy can play adequate defense at 2B.

I like that move a lot so long as Murph can turn a double play. I think I’d rather just see Murph in the DH spot though

Todd not being able to play the field creates a logjam at DH

Not for me it doesn’t. I see no reason that his bat needs to be in the lineup as a starter.

[Horny Bull 2759]

HBU starter is done.

He’s batting .360 in conference play.

Daly is so bad at the plate though, and we're gonna need to score 9-10 runs a game to win against good teams. If we were pitching worth a shit, then I'd definitely leave Daly in there.

I thought this for most of the year too but Daly’s bat is so bad right now you almost have to sacrifice a little defense to get a better hitter at that spot. Stehly at 2B and Todd at DH is probably the best hitting lineup we can put out there right now. 

Kennedy coming back should allow us to shift Todd to the 7 or 8 spot where his game should play better than the 2 hole.

Damn. You're right, with an OPS just under 1.000.

I dunno what DC is batting in conference but I would rather have him than Todd. More power imo. And I think second base isn’t exactly easy and taking defense away from our pitching seems like gasoline on a fire.

Edit : Well maybe not actually. Yikes for DC. But let’s just hope Murph is a natural at 2nd

DC is more valuable in RF with his speed. Our pitchers throw meatballs, we're not getting our shit pushed in b/c of groundballs and failed DPs.

[Bevo&Pevo 5120]

Bases loaded with 1 out, time to cash in.

[zlavydra 2119]

Awful AB.

[GreenspointTexas 9598]

On pace for a 4.5hr game

[zlavydra 2119]

Tough to square up a guy with a 2.48 WHIP.

[Pato del Muerto 52485]

Ok cool going to go thru arms until we find a guy that will get them back in the game. 

[ztejas 43411]

4 run lead and Stewart in to pitch already. What could go wrong?

Maybe it’s 2.48 walks an inning?

28 hits and 24 walks in 21 innings. Solid.

[zlavydra 2119]

Could limiting Zane to 2 innings mean that we might see him start on Sunday?

[OU Sucks 8797]

5 pitch walk to a guy hitting .173.  Seems about right.

Edited May 4, 2022 by OU Sucks

[MuellerHorn 4228]

Stewart was so highly rated but he sure hasn't settled in at all this season.

Everything is down and away when it's not a strike.

Edited May 4, 2022 by MuellerHorn

[ztejas 43411]

If we get out of this with the lead I'll be impressed. 

[Spaceman_Spiff 121]

Well, here we go.

[ztejas 43411]

Sean Allen "Hey so I have no fucking idea what I'm doing at this point and really have no advice for you. If you could get out of this and not look super shitty I'd appreciate it."

[zlavydra 2119]

Bases loaded. Is Duplantier ready?

[hobbes2702 13028]

Just take him out for fucks sake

[OU Sucks 8797]

It's funny how our pitchers always walk or hit the next batter after a mound visit.

Might be right. Tristan heading to the bullpen

Apparently Stevens will be shortly. 

[Yankee 39]

Gonna walk the batter with bases loaded

Feels like they’re about to score 10 on us this inning.
