Palo Alto Super Regional: Texas @ Stanford

[BERT 4,499]

RUN!!

[zlavydra 2,142]

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 8,942]

Unacceptable

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 8,888]

Loafed out of the box

[GreenspointTexas 9,993]

Brown was loafing

[Hondo 810]

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

[Scholz 12,312]

Totally loafed 

[Darth Tron 1,166]

Wtf kind of baserunning was that?

[b_p 453]

And he fucking jogged out of the box

[BrazilHorn 6,857]

Weird running there

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

[AUS-97HORN 12,058]

EK wtf man... 

[MIkeHoncho 2,106]

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

 

 

[HtownHorn 15,231]

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

[Horn80 6,361]

Just not clicking tonight.

[Gut Wagon 8,219]

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

[D3zii 3,955]

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 9,351]

What a fucking shit show running down the line 

[Had Enough 2,125]

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 12,324]

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

[Mo Horn 8,942]

And that's how you run it out

[texastroubadour 1,260]

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 2,079]

Kennedy been the best player this series.

[Valmy77 13,626]

Yeah you aren't getting Kennedy.

Ok let's go Flores. Keep it going.

[jimmyjazz 47,341]

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

[Darth Tron 1,166]

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

[MIkeHoncho 2,106]

hustle vs. stupid....

[BigSwingingD 719]

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

[b_p 453]

And EK shows how it’s supported to be done

[Valmy77 13,626]

Do it again Jake!

[Levi 2,670]

Finally, two outs. Lets get Kennedy home. 

[The_Great_Hornsby 3,615]

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

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 12,324]

Here comes the lefty.  

[Mo Horn 8,942]

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 14,997]

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

[TwiceHorn 32,109]

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 13,626]

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

[EuroHorn 3,295]

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 810]

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 255]

Just not hitting the ball hard tonight.
