San Diego @ Texas Series Thread

[zlavydra 2123]

4-3 Texas. Bases loaded

[Fletch 5800]

This San Diego pitcher is ass, my dudes

[WBT 20617]

A base hit to really make them pay would be nice

Sure would be a good time for Dee Kennedy to get his first knock 

That was a good opportunity to learn a lot about a freshman, give him some confidence, etc.  Especially with only 1 out.  Pretty much anything but a double play ball is a success.

But nope, let's pinch hit for him.

 

[ztejas 43477]

Not a good AB. He should have destroyed that first pitch.

I'm told it's too early in the season for that

[Mo Horn 8849]

Watched strike 3 right down the middle

[shadow_operative2.0 16006]

$5 for General Admission, son. 

[Valmy77 13245]

Come on Jayden

[Horn80 6129]

Need upgrade at catcher.

Quite the drop-off from the Friday night guy.

[UnhappilyMarried 816]

Making Powell work at C somehow would raise the floor of this team immensely 

[troph 24856]

belyeu flipped the bat on that walk like he wears gold chains and has a porn stache and a mullet.

Not a sac fly situation unfortunately 

[Valmy77 13245]

Yeah! Great hustle!

[shadow_operative2.0 16006]

Ha, thanks 3B. 

[zlavydra 2123]

Terrible 0-2 pitches and can't make him pay.

Great hustle

[Mo Horn 8849]

Nice hustle 

[WBT 20617]

Nice, speed kills

[ztejas 43477]

Damn. Way to beat the fuckin throw.

[The_Great_Hornsby 3251]

That was pretty

[ztejas 43477]

Someone needs to take this guy's first pitch yard. 

[The_Great_Hornsby 3251]

Gasparino needs to show his talent. He has been blowing big opportunities all series. 

[texastroubadour 1216]

Is it against the rules to bow the game open?

[ClubWhatever 12146]

Don't want to mess with his bat.  But yeah, catcher is a problem. 

[UnhappilyMarried 816]

That'll play. Good time for our first 2 out hit and with RISP

[Levi 2586]

Nice job. Jayden has had good AB’s for the most part and has plus speed. Should be a no brainer in the lineup going forward. 

[Horny Bull 2760]

5-3 Texas after 5.

[Valmy77 13245]

Ok we got a lead at least.

[Hondo 682]

Gasparino's not even getting the bat on the fastball.  Just straight whiffs, over and over.

[The_Great_Hornsby 3251]

Man Gasparino has been such a buzzkill this series, jesus

True freshman, first series, I'll give him some slack

[zlavydra 2123]

Gasparino gets worked. Freshman growing pains.

[Hookem2147 21339]

I can see why Gasparino ended up on a college campus. Gotta shorten his swing, which is gonna take some time.

[AbeFroman 2192]

Gasparino is lost right now.  Those pitches should have been pounded.

I hear you. I am sure he will get much better. Hard to take that step from High School to college sometimes. 

[Horny Bull 2760]

Grubbs on to pitch.

As a wise coach once said, you play to win the game. If we don’t fumble the game yesterday maybe we can experiment more today.

[Hookem2147 21339]

Look at that range from O’Dowd!!!!

It's going to take some time. For example, Thomas was pretty bad the first part of last year.

[ztejas 43477]

Hey, look at this! Routine infield plays.

He somehow made that play look difficult.

Agreed, cant blow the series. Take game 2 and witt probably gets a longer leash also. 

[ztejas 43477]

That looked more like Texas baseball.

[Horny Bull 2760]

1-2-3 inning for Grubbs T6.

Bases loaded with 1 out and speed at the plate?  That's not much of an experiment - a pop up or double play ground ball are about the only way you can fail.  Just about anything else scores a run.

Belyeu's hitless too and if he's such a stud, his bat would be in the lineup already.

I would have given Kennedy the AB.

From how he looked 2 years ago, it was sad watching him today.  

[UnhappilyMarried 816]

Looking around the league. Nobody has particularly impressed. FGCU has had TCU in hell all weekend, shelling Tolle on Friday. OSU drops the series to Sam. KU loses the series to UIC. OU and Tech look mixed against a meh field in Arlington. WV splits with Stetson
