Spends most of his time working on his golf swing.

Jo-bu needs a refill.

Boom

[Native Horn 3499]

That's on the dumbass catcher.  Lulz.

[Dnaguy 11920]

16 pitch AB resulting in a HR.

Awesome.

[HuntinHorn 975]

O' Boom!

[Bevo&Pevo 5121]

JOD goes Boom!

[ClubWhatever 12120]

JOD

[Dnaguy 11920]

Whoever went and got the KFC bucket gets a big at-a-boy from me.

[Bevo&Pevo 5121]

rub some dirt on it, buttercup.

[Dnaguy 11920]

I hate when umps can't call a consistent game. The outside corner is not being called for us but is for kansas.

[Dnaguy 11920]

seriously?

[Horn80 6114]

Steal attempt not even close.

[ClubWhatever 12120]

Does Redi-Mix make our cleats?

Was not a straight steal attempt. Bad dirt ball read.

[Bevo&Pevo 5121]

Not so pretty of an inning this time out, but we did get one run back.  Need Lucas to keep it close.

[Horn80 6114]

Great throw and tag

[Bevo&Pevo 5121]

Let that be a lesson to him.

[Horn80 6114]

Nice inning Gordon.  Now get him some runs guys.

[Valmy77 13225]

Let's go DC!

[Hookem2147 21198]

Two different strike zones today. That's cool

[Horn80 6114]

Pierce looking for something to throw.

[Dnaguy 11920]

What are we doing up there in regards to our plate approach?

[Hookem2147 21198]

Gordon just does not have it today. Falling behind every hitter. 

[Dnaguy 11920]

Is it Globe Life? I mean, we look a step slower than KU. Almost like we don't want to be there.

[Hookem2147 21198]

I want this Hawaii to Lawrence pipeline investigated immediately

[Bevo&Pevo 5121]

Can someone please tell Shojinaga we have a jersey with an 18 on it?

Contrary to Surly belief, not every loss is because our guys didn't want to win as much as the other team.

[Horn80 6114]

That was a strike

[Dnaguy 11920]

Ummp is full retard. He's giving that to KU all game. Fucking ridiculous 

[BillyGoatHill 4312]

Guy I used to work with in Washington, his nephew was one of them. Played SS for them a few years back.

[Native Horn 3499]

It's Cy Young vs the Unanimous First Team All-Big XII pitcher, and advantage Cy Young (and home plate ump).

Let's get some baserunners, Horns!

It's over. It was all Ritch Price, and he's gone.  Announcers during the Lawrence series talked a bunch about how Shojinaga was convinced to stay by Fitzgerald staff.

[Horn80 6114]

Must be a mistake.  Got a hit.

[Hookem2147 21198]

In the very back of my mind over the last week (didn't have the balls to say it), I wondered if facing Baumgartner in game 1 was a tougher matchup than having the 2 or 3 seed and facing teams with worse numbers 1's (Tech and OU).

Good point. Seems like losing to a guy with a sub 4.00 ERA wouldn't cause a 40-point RPI drop, but we better get our shit together quick.

[Had Enough 2078]

Perhaps. KU can hit a little too. I bet he goes as long as he can. No pitch count.

They pulled him after 3 good innings last week because they couldn't improve their seeding by winning the Tech series.

Well there you go. It’s all or nothing time for KU.

[Spaceman_Spiff 121]

Unrelated, but man losing Carlson for the season sucks. Big difference having him in the lineup, he was a key driver of turning outs into walks or hits. Get Daly sucks, but Flores and Belyeu is a rough back of the lineup

[Dnaguy 11920]

Hell yes.

 

[Bevo&Pevo 5121]

Tied up like two dog in the street.

[Dnaguy 11920]

I swore he was either going to stay off the plate with off-speed or come inside with fastball.

Left it over the plate and got stung.

Duplantier is probably a better option than Belyeu, but the difference isn't huge.

[Dnaguy 11920]

Dude. This ump is killing me

IDK what he's going to call on the corners

[BurntOrangeCrush 1011]

2-2 after porter brown RBI. Dylan Campbell extends hit streak. On to Top of the 7th

[Dnaguy 11920]

ARGHGHGHG

Ump misses strike.

Then we give up a hit to 9th batter.

Frustrating.
