Our saving grace in this game is the SJ pitcher throwing straight darts and we're hitting him hard, just right at people.

He has no movement at all on his fastball and we're going to score some runs unless SJ's coach gets smart and pulls him first.

We just need to hold SJ to about 5 or 6 and I think we'll be okay.

 

Unfortunately, SJ coach got smart.

This guy's stuff doesn't look like it has much bite either though, so I'm still feeling good about our bats.

Proposition to ban reviews in mid-week games... 

Seconded

[chase25 2048]

O’Dowd is probably trembling right now. Righty making his collegiate debut

[zlavydra 2116]

Don't particularly like the idea of 1) giving this guy his first out and 2) moving someone over so O'Dowd can just whiff/pop out.

It worked. 

[Horn80 6074]

Crush it JT

[Navin R. Johnson 701]

At least O’Dowd advanced the runner. This freshman pitcher for St. Johns was almost too much for him.

Doesn’t mean the process wasn’t flawed.

Guy making his first appearance, just walked the first guy he faced, O’Dowd is behind the guy laying down the sacrifice. And it’s the 4th inning.

[ConferenceRoom 6123]

Perfect time to work on manufacturing runs. I don’t think the process was “flawed.”

[Horny Bull 2759]

Bases loaded for Flores.

[Bevo&Pevo 5021]

Opportunity knocking.

[Hondo 661]

I get working the count and all that, but if I'm Flores, I'm sitting dead red and swinging out of my shoes on the first pitch.

[texastroubadour 1203]

What a strange looking pitcher 

[Hondo 661]

The old "take until he throws you a strike" meant he watched belt high cheese and got stuck having to chase what the pitcher threw him.  I get the mindset on taking, but you've gotta be aggressive early IMO.

[HenryJames 65868]

Hi!

[Horny Bull 2759]

Grand slam for Flores.

[Horn80 6074]

Boom!

[AbeFroman 2107]

Smoked that fool

[GreenspointTexas 9556]

Hahahaha omg

[UnhappilyMarried 815]

What a fucking bullet lol

[Braff Zacklin 13399]

Holy shit.

[ConferenceRoom 6123]

Smoked that salami. 

[Hondo 661]

There it is

[Dbeasy 14953]

Boom

[EZ$ 2102]

Is that his 4th career?  OU and Miami last year and 2 this year?

Edited February 28 by EZ$
Or maybe OSU?

[chase25 2048]

He looks lanky but man does Flores have a lot of power in that swing

[David Dennison 18608]

I almost feel bad for that catcher.

[HenryJames 65868]

Hi!

[Bevo&Pevo 5021]

Yeti yard goes ape shit.  Flores with a jack.

[shadow_operative 15931]

y’all are welcome:

 

[AbeFroman 2107]

Hey Porter

[Dahobbs 17420]

That'll do donkey. 

[Bevo&Pevo 5021]

clap clap clap for PB.

[zlavydra 2116]

That was even a worse pitch on the replay than it was in real time.  Can't complain that we can't hit shitty pitchers any longer. At least not as often.

[Hondo 661]

That FB Flores took yard was the same pitch as the 1-0 fastball he took.  Thank goodness the catcher gave him another shot at it.  Worked out in our favor on that one.

[Horny Bull 2759]

Duplantier on to pitch.

[Horn80 6074]
