2-0 Texas after 3.

[TexArcher 37774]

Porter Brown's gonna be a good one.  I like this kid.

We may have an offensive hangover from all the offense last year.  Unless everyone gets hot at the same time, we just aren't gonna score a ton of runs every time out.

Well unless we are playing Baylor.

[Bevo&Pevo 5146]

Nice K, there.

You'd like to get more out of 2nd and 3rd and no outs, but at least DC got one home.

EK popping out was a rally killer. 

[hobbes2702 13033]

Like the breaking stuff from Stehle. 

[Horny Bull 2759]

Sthele’s changeup is on today.

Seems like a great situation to squeeze. 

[Bevo&Pevo 5146]

Lead off single!

[hobbes2702 13033]

Why aren’t we bunting there

Yeah can’t believe he wasn’t bunting there

So we could watch two terrible ABs in a row.

[Fletch 5800]

Flores looking like he’s settling in at 3rd

[Hookem2147 21285]

I don’t know if I’m the only one but something about the way Thomas receives throws at first base bothers me and makes me nervous

Yeah, my observation is that he doesn't seem comfortable yet stretching away from the bag. It could be general confidence or actually something physical, like flexibility.

I don’t know about nervous, but it sure looks like he doesn’t pick it up until it’s almost to him.  Like he’s nearsighted and the ball is fuzzy until it gets close enough.

I’m not sure how much 1B he played in HS. He pitched a lot and I think was an OF. Hopefully it’s just a comfort thing and he’ll settle in.

He might be destined for the OF after this season once some spots open up.

[hobbes2702 13033]

Please please please keep being this guy Daly.

There are definitely big time footwork issues for him. Gotta think he will settle in though

[WBT 20572]

Yeah, am I allowed to say Daly is off to a good start yet?

[Hookem2147 21285]

Quite a strategy for Indiana to have their best starter throw Sunday to start the season

[Horn80 6123]

Oh look, another base running shit show

[Hookem2147 21285]

Wasn’t it Messinger last year who hit like .175 the first month of the season before turning it on?

[Horny Bull 2759]

2-0 Texas after 5.

Nah. That one was on the batter.

Agree.  Although Stehle got the throwing E on that first inning pickoff try, it didn’t seem Thomas made any attempt to flag the ball down.  It wasn’t that wide.  After watching the replay, I was convinced HE should have received the E.

[Bevo&Pevo 5146]

Let's get out of this inning with a DP. 

[Hookem2147 21285]

I wonder if Stuart is available today out of the pen

[Bevo&Pevo 5146]

Well, that throw and catch to first was scary.

[VirginiaLonghorn 4771]

That’s a ML play by Guillmette

He was never better than average at KU either. His second half was amazing in a literal sense. 

[Horny Bull 2759]

Lead cut to 2-1.

[Bevo&Pevo 5146]

Good outing for Stehle.  

[Horny Bull 2759]

Tole on to pitch.

[Hookem2147 21285]

Tough luck the last few batters. Sthele made some good pitches. Good stuff from him today.

[Fletch 5800]

Sthele had a hell of day. Him and Daly showing some promise

0 in the BB column on a Sunday is engorging.

[Horny Bull 2759]

Tie game.

[TexArcher 37774]

Fucking shitburger

[Horny Bull 2759]

Stuart on to pitch.

[perfectchaos007 6642]

This is a long top half of an inning

[UTEX_ME 4762]

Ass

[Horny Bull 2759]

4-2 Indiana

[TexArcher 37774]

This game is not good anymore.

[Fletch 5800]

Fuck me

Setting up nicely for a Porter Brown walk off 

[Horn80 6123]

That’s a long walk to dugout after giving up 2 runs.

[Bevo&Pevo 5146]

Well, after that debacle it is time for a Russian margarita.  If you are wondering what that is.  It is HEB Limeade with Vodka.

Let's go offense!

[Horn80 6123]

Base running ugh

[VirginiaLonghorn 4771]

Baserunning is in mid season form.
