Palo Alto Super Regional: Texas @ Stanford

[po elvis 2,076]

Daly still would have had an RBI with a long fly out with the bases loaded.

[LTtxfan 49,312]

Nice Comeback Win !!!  🤘

It’s still an error on a routine fly ball. 
I’ll take runs anyway we can get them but we don’t need to pretend about what happened 

i don't know man.  there is a ton of pretending goin' on.

56 years was a good run

Anyone else catch the Stanford fan throwing double birds to the Horns dugout and fans after their home run to go up 5-2?

Have a nice night buddy.

Biggest difference for Texas was Dixon and Dowd were both able to command their curveball on both sides of the plate which kept Texas from being able to cheat on anything. Bruno could not command his curveball at all. 
 

A lot easier to hit when you can just take breaking balls because you know the guy on the mound can’t throw it in the zone consistently

[Rickylovesweed 14,528]

A pretty gutsy performance by Gordon today.

To hold that lineup to 3 runs with the stuff (or lack thereof) he had today says a lot about him as a pitcher.

Indeed. Getting a quality start from that cobbled mess, big time.

[MirrOlure 14,802]

Yes it's an E9 but it's 100% the centerfielder's fault. If you're the CF and you call it then you fucking catch it. 
Not that I'm complaining. 

Yep. His patients will demand better.

Between saving their ace, pulling the starter early, and walking DC Stanford pissed off the baseball gods just a bit too much

We had gotten to their starter. Single, Home run, Single and we were about to get more. He was pulled at 4 2/3 and was only going to go six max. So maybe 4 outs early.

The lefty who'll start tomorrow night ( Friday night regular starter threw 114 and 60-80 (?) pitches last Friday and Monday night) There was no way he was going to start tonight after that.

He is a very good pitcher. Even more respectable in todays game to be able to perform at the level he does with an 89-90 mph fastball. Doesn’t really allow you to get away with as many mistakes. If he had 94-96 at his disposal he would be untouchable 

[T’Boo Ted Marshall 2,737]

The win should be attributed to me betting the under at 11.5.

[Hookem2147 21,345]

Imagine someone tells you after the Vandy game in Arlington that this team would be one win from Omaha 4 months later.

[Cairn Horn88 8,277]

Will this game be replayed on ESPN or ESPN+ ?

As for tomorrow the approach for Texas should be to take, take, take. Not because Quinn Matthews isn’t good but because what they will be forced to bring in after him is not good. Dowd, Scott, and Bruno are pretty much all they have in the pen.

Hopefully the team is fully vested into this thing now after that. Need that won’t be beat mentality to permeate the attitude the rest of the way.

[SOBMarcos 59]

Welp.
And if we use Morehouse, we're fucked like chuck.

Let’s score 15 run’s tomorrow night

Hit has multiple meanings in this context.  He hit the ball, and hit it well, regardless of what the OF did with it.  It was a decent piece of hitting for ol' Mitchell.

I mean...it was one game in February...but after the OU series I lost hope. They proved me wrong and I couldn't be happier.

He doesn’t get an rbi because the run scores as the result of an error. Unless the ncaa uses different rules than high school or mlb.

He's saying if they caught it would have been an easy sac fly....PA, no AB and an RBI.

Most likely the deuce. Stanford (TEXAS) regional and Oregon's could be the only regionals left at that time to be playing.

I stayed off the thread and just enjoyed some Enchiladas y Mas and beers while watching the game.

Wow.  Make 'em throw strikes.  Oh, you can't?  Too bad for you.  Well done, 'horns.

Glad we are keeping A&M entertained during their offseason.

Erroneous. I did a pseudo Father’s Day dinner tonight with my daughters because I have to leave the country next weekend. We were listening to Craig in the car when Kennedy took the lead early. Left perla’s and got in the car right as Craig came back from commercial to start the ninth. Decided after the walk and the hit batsman, I wasn’t leaving the car until it was over and it kind of worked out. All seven runs were while I was in my car.

my wife thinks it’s going to be awkward when I sit in my car all night tomorrow night.

Postseason on the road too. Out to Coral Gables, go 3-0. Then all the way out west to Palo Alto and up 1-0 on Stanford. Can’t say they didn’t earn it.

I was waxing poetic about the magic of just enjoying the wins we get.  I’m usually optimistic on a wait and see and both Pierce and Augie for sure have trained us to know it’s about late season form and not a moment sooner.

Nothing awkward about that. Your wife better lock you out of the house so you have no choice but to sit and listen in your car!! 😂

He’s not the recruiter Sean Allen was, but I think Pierce has almost fully vindicated himself for choosing to move on and getting Woody Williams in here. He has done wonders with the guys on this staff. And that’s without Shaw and Tole for the last 3 weeks.
