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 2,048]

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

[zlavydra 2,125]

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 6,241]

Crush it JT

[Navin R. Johnson 783]

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 6,155]

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

[Horny Bull 2,766]

Bases loaded for Flores.

[Bevo&Pevo 5,397]

Opportunity knocking.

[Hondo 682]

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 1,243]

What a strange looking pitcher 

[Hondo 682]

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 66,293]

Hi!

[Horny Bull 2,766]

Grand slam for Flores.

[Horn80 6,241]

Boom!

[AbeFroman 2,949]

Smoked that fool

[GreenspointTexas 9,879]

Hahahaha omg

[UnhappilyMarried 830]

What a fucking bullet lol

[Braff Zacklin 13,672]

Holy shit.

[ConferenceRoom 6,155]

Smoked that salami. 

[Hondo 682]

There it is

[Dbeasy 15,239]

Boom

[EZ$ 2,106]

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

Or maybe OSU?

[chase25 2,048]

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

[David Dennison 19,131]

I almost feel bad for that catcher.

[HenryJames 66,293]

Hi!

[Bevo&Pevo 5,397]

Yeti yard goes ape shit.  Flores with a jack.

[shadow_operative 15,932]

y’all are welcome:

 

[AbeFroman 2,949]

Hey Porter

[Dahobbs 17,818]

That'll do donkey. 

[Bevo&Pevo 5,397]

clap clap clap for PB.

[zlavydra 2,125]

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 682]

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 2,766]

Duplantier on to pitch.

[Horn80 6,241]

Welcome to Texas
