That kid is coming back out for the 9th

6-9 has done better than the front part of the line up for 17 straight innings.

its the deception…. its literally in the definition of balk

Clearly no one on the field agrees. Pierce isn’t even bitching and I don’t see Texas players complaining either. 

[Hondo 659]

Normally, I'd say Stanford shouldn't push their luck and run him out for the 9th - because, you know, we've seen him 4 fucking times and won't be fooled by the pitch sequence...

But hell, we waited 7 innings to do anything other than look for fastballs and whiff at changeups.  Why not put him back out there?

[OU Sucks 8667]

Why is Stanford allowed to swing at the first pitch and we aren't?  Oh wait, we're allowed to swing too?

[Levi 2566]

I’m pretty certain their freshman catcher will be in the minors for a blink then be called up. He’s legit.

Know what else it was? 90% of the time it’s called “a mistake that hung over the plate and got served into the trees”

I'm not saying it's not a ball you can hit.  I'm saying that location has been a ball all night.

Last night we needed a pitching coach error to win we got it. I say leave him in. 

[chase25 2048]

Shocked Sthele is still out there, fastball down to 91 from 95-96

[chemHORN 1239]

Check Matthew's hat.  He keeps touching it / his hair right above the ears.  

[D3zii 3584]

Yea Mathew’s is good and so is the Catcher, 

 

props wen they’re due 

[utxmike05 1825]

I mean...that's gotta be the best pitcher we face all season, right? And we are down 2. 
 

 

[Valmy77 12531]

Nice K.

Two more Travis.

[Redneck Mutha 7832]

Keep it within 3.

[chase25 2048]

Cap tip to Sthele for giving us a chance in this one

dont care….. its a defined balk.   I cant make the ump call it…. still deception

[dcar00 13861]

what the fuck?  that batter can't do that.

[Wishbone 4716]

Dammit

Wake is up next for the winner they are salty on the mound. Skenes is in the same bracket though likely won’t face wake or the winner of these two.

[Biff Tannen 44932]

lovely

[millhouse 2573]

Fucking terrible defense.  Great bunt, but fucking terrible defense

It’s not a balk.

[Smax 3799]

not our night

[The_Great_Hornsby 3306]

I hope Matthews doesnt get injured and ruin his entire career trying to go the distance in Game 2 of a super. That would be pretty stupid.

[Biff Tannen 44932]

I don't care if it's a fucking balk or not, we can't fucking hit him, so who cares?

Yea for sure. Meant to say best we faced all year so far. 
 

just hoping if there is a game 3 we bounce back at the plate. 
 

15Ks is nasty....and down 2

if Stehle didn't give up a damn HR as soon as he got in....different game.

They may put it out of reach here (in case it wasn’t already)

[hobbes2702 12483]

Please be better than normal Dre

[Gut Wagon 8017]

You know, it's possible for the pitcher to be good AND for our lineup to swing the bat ineptly. That combination is exactly what we've seen so far.

Yes best all year. Skenes and this guy are 1 and 2 nationally.

they didn't show it but it almost looked like the runner hit his glove(not on purpose).

They showed it early.  It was like 6 in 4 innings.

[AUS-97HORN 11546]

He didn't

[NeverMarryAStripper 21765]

Could really use a DP here

[troph 23964]

Fuuuuuck

[Redneck Mutha 7832]

Ugh

[perfectchaos007 6531]

We need a double play here just to have a chance in the 9th

[D3zii 3584]

[Wishbone 4716]

What can anyone say. We faced a very good pitcher and handled it poorly. It is what it is. Let’s load up for tomorrow.
