Palo Alto Super Regional: Texas @ Stanford

[BERT 4358]

RUN!!

[zlavydra 2119]

Not only is he slow, he zig-zagged to first.  The only way that would have been worse is if he had gone in head first

[Mo Horn 8811]

Unacceptable

[ClubWhatever 12106]

Does Brown just have no speed, or did he loaf?  If it's the latter, I'd bench him

He thought it was going through and started to round.  Then he had to speed up.

neither.

[Pig Bellmont 8704]

Loafed out of the box

[GreenspointTexas 9581]

Brown was loafing

[Hondo 682]

He started to make a turn, but was loafing before that.  Fuck him for doing that in Game 3 of a Super Regional.

[Scholz 11938]

Totally loafed 

[Darth Tron 1122]

Wtf kind of baserunning was that?

[b_p 448]

And he fucking jogged out of the box

[BrazilHorn 6583]

Weird running there

He thought it was past the 2B. Going for turn. 

[AUS-97HORN 11750]

EK wtf man... 

[MIkeHoncho 1901]

Hurley and Galvan. The massive defensive gap to Galvan preventing him from playing for months has been erased this weekend

 

 

[HtownHorn 14629]

Lulz, Brown thought he had the hit so wasn't busting it down the line.

[Horn80 6112]

Just not clicking tonight.

[Gut Wagon 8054]

Now we've forgotten how to run. Fundamentals, guys. 

[D3zii 3674]

Pierce should lay into Brown, he definitely loafed and then turned on the jets

He doesn't have much speed, especially for an outfielder. 

[Zepol87 9176]

What a fucking shit show running down the line 

[Had Enough 2066]

Hurley and Galvan. The massive defensive gap to Galvan preventing him from playing for months has been erased this weekend

He strikes out damn near 50% of the time. Galvan is not quite there yet.

But I’d likely give him a shot at some point.

Some fine baserunning there dumbfuck.

If we are gonna laugh about it later, we may as well laugh about it now.

This is wrong. GG is struggling, but he’s light years ahead of Galvan defensively and offensively 

Would’ve agreed before this weekend. Something is seriously wrong with him defensively and offensively 

[ClubWhatever 12106]

Galvan is worse at the plate than GG.  He's terrible. 

[Mo Horn 8811]

And that's how you run it out

[texastroubadour 1208]

That’s how you beat out a hit porter

Why the fuck did he run outside the baseline??

he thought it was through for a single.  it was an 8 hopper.  he's just dumb.

[Billy Pilgrim 1960]

Kennedy been the best player this series.

[Valmy77 13202]

Yeah you aren't getting Kennedy.

Ok let's go Flores. Keep it going.

[jimmyjazz 45768]

Hey look, a dude ran it out.  Doesn't hurt that he's quicker, but for fuck's sake, try.

[Darth Tron 1122]

And like poetry, the guy who ran hard was safe.

[MIkeHoncho 1901]

hustle vs. stupid....

[BigSwingingD 719]

Stop being such pussies. We have 3 1/3 innings. Keep the faith. Hook'em 

[b_p 448]

And EK shows how it’s supported to be done

[Valmy77 13202]

Do it again Jake!

[Levi 2578]

Finally, two outs. Lets get Kennedy home. 

[The_Great_Hornsby 3238]

And Flores on cue to kill any momentum. Man he fucking sucks. 

[Hondo 682]

But I thought our guys were waiting for the changeup yesterday?

I get that you are looking for little gotcha's, but no.  They SHOULD have been sitting dead on the offspeed stuff (which is what I said dozens of times yesterday).  Instead, they sat up there looking for nothing and reacting to pitches - which is why they were fooled by the changeup time and time again.

Try again.

[ClubWhatever 12106]

Here comes the lefty.  

[Mo Horn 8811]

Flores is no doubt really talented, but suffering some growing pains making the jump to college. Hopefully it pays dividends the next couple of years. 

[dcar00 14104]

we're gonna need lighting to strike.  we are throwing this game away and blue didn't help.

[TwiceHorn 31393]

Well, Esquer finally with the lethal injection in Dowd.

Oh, shit, I thought it was going to be Dowd.

Suspect.

I remember a one-swing dividend in Miami.

[Valmy77 13202]

Hopefully we get Saturday's version of Bruno and not some obnoxious redemption story.

[EuroHorn 3230]

Here comes Bruno. What’s the odds that he’s wild again?

He's got the same problem most of these dudes do.  He pulls off pitches instead of trying to go other way or through the box.  He will never hit a curve doing that.

Bruno... but not much difference

[Hondo 682]

Yep.  Hips out and can't do anything but sweep through the zone.  Brown did the same thing in his at bat.  Whole team minus 1 or two guys have been doing it all series.

They won't pitch inside much at all...no need to.  Pound the outside of the zone and we'll try to pull it...weak ground balls and floaters all day.

[sunset87 240]

Just not hitting the ball hard tonight.
