Palo Alto Super Regional: Texas @ Stanford

[GreenspointTexas 9649]

Ball game

[millhouse 2615]

Ugh

[TwiceHorn 31496]

Oof.

[ztejas 43475]

I sure as shit hope LBJ is better than this tomorrow. 

[Wishbone 4762]

He doesn’t have any options. Throw it down the middle or get a walk.

[ztejas 43475]

How is that a ball. 

[Cousin Strawberry 1261]

He keeps throwing that change without setting it up with the fastball.  

[AUS-97HORN 11809]

I dont have the overlap skillz, but this strike zone screams for a Jomboy-esque montage of called strikes vs balls between the 2 teams

[ztejas 43475]

Nice leather let's wake the fuck up at the plate boys. 

[Horn80 6129]

Cmon guys get some runs.

[Horny Bull 2760]

2-0 Stanford after 3.

[millhouse 2615]

Change up outside is abusing these guys if he can get it over

[EuroHorn 3265]

Our bats are going to need to create a lot of runs today

[Valmy77 13243]

Alright. Let's go!

Second time through the order, we are going to pummel this dude.

That dude stands right on top of the plate.

away to that guy is a mistake.  gotta go up and in.

lucas needs a couple 10 pitch or less innings.

[Wishbone 4762]

Ok. Time to prove we are there. Jeez.

Who calls the pitches?

[Cousin Strawberry 1261]

Anyone else getting Kansas vibes?

[zlavydra 2123]

Powell should have annihilated that 2-0 pitch.

The other team has scholarship players too

I am getting bad juju vibes

[millhouse 2615]

Hahaha that was so far outside

[dcar00 14269]

come the fuck on.  that pitch is 5 inches outside.

catcher was set up on outside corner and had to reach to get it.  so fucking bad.

They get ahead in the count every time, we get behind every time.  

[Wishbone 4762]

I’m getting postal vibes. Or soon will.

[jw4381 3080]

Is it just me or does pretty eyes not make any great plays in left? Thought he should have made a better effort on that double. 

[millhouse 2615]

He had to chase that based on the way outside strike called two pitches before 

[Brandywine 1316]

Yep, not feeling good. Texas has been in this position before so hopefully they’ll snap out of it. 

[Wilcox Cummingtonite 3025]

Making this bum look like Cy Young.

He's not a great fielder.

Us or the umpire?

[Cousin Strawberry 1261]

That curveball is outstanding.

[Mo Horn 8849]

Way too easy

[millhouse 2615]

Bats look fucking terrible 

[chase25 2048]

Dixon pitching well, need to just start getting aggressive on the first pitch, pretty much throws a get me over fastball to start every batter.

[dcar00 14269]

pathetic.  probably an L comin up.  can still win 2 though.

It's not you.  He's not what you want in an outfielder.  Net zero. 

[Brandywine 1316]

That pitcher is good. He makes it look easy.

[Rockethorn1978 6093]

Shocker. Look great one weekend, then look like we’ve never played baseball before the next. Hopefully my bitching turns it around.

[Bevo&Pevo 5205]

We've had 13 AB's totaling 1 hit and 5 SO's.  Gonna have to do better the rest of the way.

[Levi 2586]

Holy fuck we were down 3-0 against Miami and scored 9 in one inning.  We’re squaring up the ball fine. Geno has done good enough against a tough lineup and an ump that called my little nephew’s game last weekend. 

[zlavydra 2123]

Pitcher is average, but the has his A+ stuff tonight. Powell and GG had pitches to hit, but they didn't hit them well enough (or keep it fair).

his era is 5.  he's getting calls up and out.  we are making him look good when he does groove it.

If we don't win I hope you get banned.

Jk

They all look outstanding when you suck at hitting them.

[DigDug 1672]

No one, outside of Thomas, looks comfortable.  Everyone off balance at the plate.

Hopefully 3rd time through we get settled in.

[BillyGoatHill 4312]

Gordon with the glove.....twice!

[ztejas 43475]

3 straight LG fielding outs

[WBT 20616]

nice snag

[Horny Bull 2760]

Quick inning for Gordon.

[Valmy77 13243]

Great inning Gordon! More of those please.
