Palo Alto Super Regional: Texas @ Stanford

[cafe society 2878]

Make him field his position; guys with quirky deliveries don't want to play defense.  Upset his bizarre rhythm.

Feels like a mini miracle we are tied. But thats actually a good thing. 

Keep it within 3 in the 9th.

[Hondo 682]

O'Dowd K'd, but he had the best at bat so far.  Sat on the first 2 breaking balls, let the FB go, fought off the change up...and then his approach on the last FB was correct (just fighting it off to get to the next pitch)...he just swung at a ball.

If they'll all do that, then this guy has 2 more innings left and we'll have a 3 run lead.

Is his rocking back and forth a form of masturbation ? I’ve heard for some weird kinda people rocking back and forth is self soothing. I’m genuinely curious 

Would this make you feel better or worse about our approach at the plate?

They need to powerwash that stadium.

Nature will see to that. When it slides off into the Pacific.

EK stranded again. Three punch outs 

I fully understand why EK is batting so late, we need his bat to break up the bottom 3 all being sub .250 hitters.   But damn, either he clears the bases, or he gets stranded.  no in-between this weekend.

We are definitely figuring him out. 

Seems like the fans are gotta mean the team is but wtf 

 

[TwiceHorn 31646]

He wasn't twitching in the third, back to it now.

[texastroubadour 1238]

Peterson is determined to get us to apologize for winning yesterday

I really think we are going to get to him 

[AUS-97HORN 11825]

we absolutely hate having a clean inning. 

[texastroubadour 1238]

Have they the lead off hitter on every inning?

[Redneck Mutha 8022]

Dammit. Let's go lbj

[Mo Horn 8875]

Seems like Brown could have gotten that. Maybe just the angle

[HenryJames 66228]

Ten baserunners in four innings.

Didn't last time, but #2 got on

no, last inning we got the leadoff.  but their 2nd guy got a double

[HtownHorn 14795]

If we are even when Stanford goes to the pen we are winning this game.

[Gut Wagon 8097]

It's hard to win when the other team starts every inning on first base. 

[troph 24916]

Sick pitch 

[Hondo 682]

Surprised we aren't running more with as much off speed stuff as he's throwing too.  If he has 1 or 2 strikes and has just thrown a fastball, I'd have them running since the changeup in the dirt is coming. 

[Redneck Mutha 8022]

Little 463 right here? 

[Pato del Muerto 52664]

Man are we playing with fire 

[Hookem2147 21374]

LBJ isn’t fooling many guys. I’ve been impressed with how they are laying off the low sliders.

ODowd is not sub 250.

And he’s batting 6th because he has pop, strikes out a lot, doesn’t take pitches and doesn’t walk.

Their catcher is legit

LBJ looks like he is still using his little league glove

I don’t care what they say, he’s not a freshman.

Make him pick a changeup out of the dirt and throw out EK.  If he can do that, then so be it.  But make him.  Put the pressure on.

Meh, we win the hard way … lose the hard way too come to think of it.

[AUS-97HORN 11825]

LBJ, lets worry about the guy at the plate please

Reminds me of Adley Rutschman.

Yeah surprised EK didn’t run now that you say it 

Gotta get this kid out

This.  Make them make plays.

[Hondo 682]

Stanford hitters have basically been told "if you see spin, do not swing."  The zone is so tight and with LBJ's 6-12 movement, if it's spinning, they know it'll be below the zone and they're laying off.  Very good coaching and good plate discipline.  Gotta give them credit for that.

[AUS-97HORN 11825]

GG must have some mega bruises. 

[chase25 2048]

It’s impressive how little swing and miss this Malcom Moore kid has with that stance.

[perfectchaos007 6679]

I hope LBJ can go 150 pitches tonight

[Bevo&Pevo 5265]

GG is metal.  Rub some dirt on it and play ball.

[Mo Horn 8875]

Fuck

[troph 24916]

Fuck

[Wishbone 4801]

That sucked.

[TwiceHorn 31646]

Oof.

[AUS-97HORN 11825]

yeah.... i think its time to pull him.  hes been playing with fire every inning. 

[Horny Bull 2766]

3-2
