Tennessee Tech @ Texas: Austin Super Regional Thread

[F250 28,674]

Good win today. Looking forward to game 3 as we will be rolling in with momentum.

[texasstrong12 4,668]

I think you go Bocchi. See if he can give us a couple innings. Then go Henley for 2 or 3 innings. Then Parker Joe Robinson, McGuire, and Sawyer out of the pen. 

I won't be shocked if they start Sawyer though.

Bocchi, Whelan McGuire, Sawyer...

So we play at noon, and they're playing the Gainesville game at 7pm even though the forecast there is for PM thunderstorms.

Good job, NCAA!!!

[BurntOrangeCrush 1,004]

Great win!

[hobbes2702 12,791]

Who starts? Bocci?

[Art Vandelay 1,710]

Combo of henley, bocci and (gulp) odonnell?

That gives me heartburn. Our 3 starters did well against them but the idea of someone like Bocci facing this line up does not give me the warm fuzzies inside.

I wonder what they have left in the way of arms.... surely that can't be as deep on the mound as they are on offense.

[HuntinHorn 975]

39 pitches for Henley..

Hopefully he can go some tomorrow...

[Valmy77 13,093]

Nice win. The batters need to step up tomorrow. I have confidence. Go Texas!

[Zepol87 9,168]

They will fucking do

[Valmy77 13,093]

Oh and 27 outs to Omaha baby!

[BurntOrangeCrush 1,004]

Thanks to all for the updates

[Radical Larry 28,528]

Johnny Allstaff tomorrow.

They somehow came through the loser's bracket and beat Ole Miss twice, so...

Been putting pitching together in my head for tomorrow ever since Henley came in. 

Best I can come up with is Henley for 3, pjr for 3, and McGuire for 3, with josh ready for spot duty or longer. But if things go south for one of those guys, who knows who we’ll see. 

I want to say that there’s no way a team like Tennessee tech can have a 3rd good starter, but I’d probably say the same about them having 9 good hitters and here they are. 

At 4-1 I think I’d rather have seen someone other than Henley, but I also understand pierce playing to get to tomorrow. 

[Zepol87 9,168]

Just met Derka aka Goo Punch. Solid guy!! Tomorrow we clich

[zlavydra 2,116]

They'll start thei Sunday guy, then ride Roberts until his arm falls off.

They will likely throw Hursey tomorrow. Lefty with a 4.52 ERA. 

They really don't have anymore quality arms out of the pen unless they throw Roberts again.

[Machinator 32,097]

I wasn't thrilled about Pierce's decision to throw in Henley, but I also get that this TTU team can put up crooked numbers in a hurry and that he didn't want to risk it with elimination on the line and our bats from the 5-spot onwards giving us nothing on a consistent basis.

[UTEX_ME 4,754]

Hopefully the top of the lineup can connect with that lefty. 

[zork 629]

Well done today.  

 

Now get some rest and find a way to win one more for Omaha.  Play the solid Defense, get some timely hits with RISP, and win.  Hook'em Horns!

[Nonbryan 173]

Will tomorrow's game sell out?  I may skip out of work and head up there.

Maybe he has some eligibility. 

[texasstrong12 4,668]

The more I think about this, I might start Parker Joe Robinson. He's only thrown 28 innings this year so it's not like he isn't fresh. 

Parker Joe Robinson throws strikes and had Tennessee Tech hitters baffled on Saturday. 

I think Parker Joe Robinson could give us 3 or 4 innings as a starter.

No shit.  I got a mtg 1-2 and then an eye appt at 3.  I planned poorly.

For real? I think I'd rather see him bat 2nd and bump duke to 5th or 6th. We need less outs in front of Kody.  Zubia had a nice hit and almost a HR today. He doesn't really seem to be the problem.

I'm down.   Bocci has been suspect at times.
