Solid inning for Gordon.

[Horny Bull 2759]

K ends the inning.

[zlavydra 2119]

70 pitches after 3 for Gordon.

[Hookem2147 21188]

Friday night guys find a way to give you 5 even when they have their C- stuff. Find a way Lucas.

[texastroubadour 1210]

Pete Hughes is Mr Personality isn’t he?

[Hookem2147 21188]

I’d say we are working this guys pitch count well but I’m sure he will throw 130 pitches like Watts-Brown last week

[TexArcher 37761]

DC might have left the yard there on a different night.

Anyone is a letdown after "warheads on foreheads."

[Valmy77 13225]

Geez Peyton. Get it together.

[totallynotabuttpirate 5395]

Apparently our kryptonite is any pitcher that isn't terrible. 

[Horny Bull 2759]

2-1 KSU after 3.

[TexArcher 37761]

Does the SEC Network have a commercial rotation of more than 4?  Asking for a friend.

[HenryJames 66035]

Gordon found his groove.

[Horny Bull 2759]

Gordon K’s the side T4.

[Hookem2147 21188]

This K-State starter is 88-89 consistently on the fastball but it’s an extremely uncomfortable AB for lefties the way he throws across his body.

Gordon isnt a texas quality pitcher

Annnnnd suddenly he looks like Sandy Koufax, like clockwork.

Can you say something about how good their pitcher looks?

Impossible. I was just told how bad he is.

[Hookem2147 21188]

I can see how this guy had some success at the D3 level last year 

[zlavydra 2119]

Retired on 6 pitches. Sweet.

[Valmy77 13225]

Ok starting to get a little nervous.

[ClubWhatever 12120]

If they can put that shift on for you and you are not a slugging percentage guy, you are probably doing something wrong.

Me too. Will we get more than 1 run?

[ztejas 43411]

O needs to go pick up Lucas tonight. 

[totallynotabuttpirate 5395]

We def get one more run. Unless they have another funky lefty in the pen. 

[Horny Bull 2759]

1-2-3 inning for Gordon.

[HenryJames 66035]

Dude hit that with a five iron.

Found a way.

[Bevo&Pevo 5120]

Did some wizard cast a spell on our man Gordon or ksu bats?

[HenryJames 66035]

This dude throws like DiCaprio in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape.

[texastroubadour 1210]

Zero offense. Damn 

[Hookem2147 21188]

They will throw Neighbors for 3 innings tonight if they have to out of the pen. If we can’t score in the next 2 innings we are in trouble.

Should be a 1-0 Texas lead too. Gotta manufacture offense, somehow.

Man, Texas has a propensity to allow career games for opposing pitchers.

2-1 KSU after 5.

[Hookem2147 21188]

A good lefty is a death sentence for this lineup.

Nah, we were lucky they only scored 2. You can't put multiple guys on with no outs and expect to hold.

Our lefties are 1-11 with seven Ks.

[Mo Horn 8822]

After a big start to conference play, and a nice win streak, batters appear to be returning to their mean. Either that or we're facing a future Cy Young winner.

We are the most left handed heavy lineup in the Big 12 along with OSU. Terrible matchup.

Maybe we should start platooning ODowd and Carlson as well as Constantine and Thomas.  Pierce won’t do it, but maybe he should.  I don’t know.  

[Bevo&Pevo 5120]

We're gonna need to find some guts tonight.  Gordon found his and recovered to pitch as we know he can.  Now, our offense is gonna have to step up and find theirs.

This guy shut down a good LSU lineup early in the season (7 K’s and 1 run in 4.1 innings). It was only his second start of the year so he wasn’t stretched out yet or he would have gone 6 or 7.

[Horny Bull 2759]

Another 1-2-3 inning for Gordon. 

[HenryJames 66035]

Maybe Gordon is good enough to pitch for Texas.

[Valmy77 13225]

Save us Dylan Campbell

[Hammerin Hank 1225]

Gotta wake the bats up now. Lucas did his job despite the rough start

It goes both ways. KSU has two hits, isn't really making contact, and benefited from six early free passes (three walks, three HBPs). They're fortunate Gordon was very poor early.
