Palo Alto Super Regional: Texas @ Stanford

[troph 24916]

We are on the cusp. O’Dowd and Daly got him. 

[Hondo 682]

Go back and watch from the 2nd time through the lineup when I mentioned he would still pitch backwards, but lead with the breaking ball...and then tally up how many 1st pitch breaking balls he threw.  Also tally up how many were 1st pitch breaking balls followed by a 2nd pitch changeup.  I'll wait.

 

[Levi 2593]

Stanford pitcher is still probably fine but Daly’s homer at least puts the thought in their coaches head.

He’s not making 9 if we can get him in trouble in the 8th.

Pitch count is irrelevant at this point, he will have 7 days off or an offseason off. Regardless he isn’t pitching tomorrow anyway

I’d rather not.

Finally somebody was sitting on the 82mph change up. 

[AUS-97HORN 11825]

jesus ESPN,  lets not even bother filming the out

[zlavydra 2124]

Sweet camera work there on the first out.

Daly does it again.

I can only think that Pierce wanted to run this guy's pitch count up as high as possible.

He’s going to have a hard time pitching tomorrow. But then who the fuck is dealing for us tomorrow? Game 3 is gonna be something if it goes 3.

[perfectchaos007 6679]

Great camera work

[chase25 2048]

I would be shocked if they pulled him at any point

you want a cookie?

[Wilcox Cummingtonite 3084]

Fuck it, let’s take care of this shit tonight.

Get 4 next inning, then close them out top 9 and go home.

Well he’s had us all night so one inning without him is what I want, second agreed he’s done tmw.

If you are sitting changeup, 92-93 looks like 102-103.

Nah, high 90's...and you fight it off to get to the next pitch.  He's thrown very few fastballs and most of them have been out of the zone.

 

Or you can just keep doing what we've done and fan at changeups all night and watch meat breaking balls.

[Hookem2147 21374]

Sthele is so damn frustrating. Flashes of brilliance.

Well damn don’t give up that easily

id like to think we tie it up off of him making it pointless to keep him him

sounds like you shoud be in the dugout coaching.... why arent you

[Redneck Mutha 8021]

Noice!

[Wishbone 4800]

Nice quick T8

[Lat22 4028]

A clean inning!!!

[troph 24916]

First 123 let’s goooo!!

[The_Great_Hornsby 3288]

Lets score 3 runs and close this out

[Bevo&Pevo 5264]

Bottom of the 8th, let's get one more back.  

[Levi 2593]

For all of his faults, Travis has done well for the most part against this lineup. Well at least in terms of his abilities. 

[Redneck Mutha 8021]

Giggity. 

[Valmy77 13300]

Beautiful inning Travis!

[dcar00 14435]

one bad pitch.  let's get at least 2, knock this guy out and grab some 9th inning magic again.

[LonghornSean 4034]

Come on boys. Just put a little pressure on em

[UnhappilyMarried 821]

Is this the best we’ve competed against a truly good arm in the last 3 years? Maybe Tenn threw someone good out of the losers bracket in 2021. The approach just isn’t ever good enough.
 

Nothing in Arlington this year, nothing vs Watts-Brown, nothing in Omaha last year, nothing vs Horton in Arlington, nothing vs Burns in Houston, nothing vs Bednar in Omaha, nothing in Arlington 2021

He is. He is a great pitcher but damn, he just can't do it consistently.

Or 9.  9 would be good.

[The_Great_Hornsby 3288]

This pitcher thinks he is hot shit and I hope we fuck him up this inning because I am getting tired of the announcer suckfest

I'd say touche' if the game was over and we were talking about what they should have done.  I've been calling this shit since the 2nd inning.  Granted, I've played some ball (albeit a couple of decades ago)...but I'm no savant.  It's THAT obvious.  

[Honeysucklerose 991]

Swing. The. Bat.

Puckering is good.

[Majorcholas 508]

This purple glove thingy is pissing me off the longer the game goes…

[shadow_operative 15932]

you've seen him all day guys. let's get some good AB's and get some runs here. 

[Hondo 682]

1st pitch breaking ball at the belt.  Shocker.

Followed by the changeup.  Shocker.

[The_Great_Hornsby 3288]

God dammit, make him throw strikes

[Hondo 682]

Swung through a FB.  Ok.  Changeup coming.

[Valmy77 13300]

Come on DC!

Frankly he is the shit but I agree the announcers are choking that dick right now.

This is like Bednar 2.0 fuck!
