Well, at least one Texas fan still has some enthusiasm.

I have seen many a big early lead get chipped away at in this game. Could happen.

Jesus Christ ump

Oh ye of little faith. We will either win this or bring it back pretty close

Better scoreboard operators at beer league softball

Apparently it's possible to be too smart to understand baseball or operate a scoreboard.

Not if their pitchers are going to be getting those calls. 

[zlavydra 2123]

At least Son of Bertel doesn't get cheated. Let him play and he'll run into a few of those.

[Machinator 32099]

Honestly, all that matters is McCann being able to play tomorrow. This season is fucked if we have to rely on Peter long term.

Actually, O'Donnell hasn't been too bad these last couple of innings.  Maybe he works through it and becomes a contributor.

I'm more worried about the next two weekends. I'll trade the rest of this one for some conference games.

Announcers have decided this is now a talk show.

Yeah I want Gallindo back.

That's why I listen to the radio.

[TwiceHorn 31564]

Well fuck that, then, about OConnell.

Edited March 9, 2019 by TwiceHorn

[Machinator 32099]

Thank god, if only so I don't have to hear "O'Connell" again.

[Horny Bull 2766]

Jack Neely in to try and record his first out as a Longhorn with the bases loaded. 

[TwiceHorn 31564]

Neely with his infinite ERA.

[ClubWhatever 12158]

I guess the CF camera busted

[Horny Bull 2766]

Neely gets the K looking to strand the bases loaded. 

[Machinator 32099]

That's really awesome for Neely.

[DalTxHornFan 3118]

Nice first out!

[zlavydra 2123]

Recalculate those peripherals

[Machinator 32099]

Never forget.

[zlavydra 2123]

Two-out hit for "Zobia."

[TwiceHorn 31564]

This just aint gonna be our night.

[Horny Bull 2766]

Radio just said we don't play Stanford next year. 

[DalTxHornFan 3118]

The audio to that Stanford video feed is a beating.

Well, at least we need to win one of the next two games then.

They’ve beaten me into submission. Galindo is Vin Scully by comparison.

1-2-3 inning for Neely. 

[Cairn Horn88 8285]

Rain

   Tomorrow's weather forecast in Palo Alto.  Could be a rough day, weather-wise.  Advantage:  Us.

[TwiceHorn 31564]

Welp, I'm out.  See you fellers tomorrow.

[Cairn Horn88 8285]

Gonzaga 6  aggy 4 Final:    I feel a little bit better.

I would be surprised if they played. 

[Horny Bull 2766]

Another 1-2-3 inning for Neely. 

[Machinator 32099]

Neely is looking good today.

This right here. 10 days ago I was wondering why our 3rd string catcher was so involved in costing us a game, now with DJ's surgery and a potential McCann injury, I'm wondering how much he lowers this potentially special team's ceiling. He can't stop balls in the dirt, which affects our pitchers, he's a defensive liability in general, he can't hit... I'm not saying he's trash forever, but he's not our standard right now at arguably the most important position on the field.

It is just not our night. 

[Cairn Horn88 8285]

Looks like we just came out with the idea of just winging it.  Stanford came out very focused, from the first pitch.

We really haven't been that bad except for the 3rd inning, which is what's frustrating. 

[Horny Bull 2766]

Stanford tacks on a run B8.

Lost a run in the first with that bad 2nd base ump call.  Error in the 2nd, and like you said, that disastrous 3rd.  If we eliminate the first 3 innings, we win this game 1-0.  We needed to take a deep breath and settle down, and get back to playing better.  Hopefully, McCann will be able to play the other two games.  We've done pretty good from the 4th inning on....so far.

[Machinator 32099]

That was Neely's first real blemish of today.

[Rimbo 26141]

... is it Easter yet?

[Horny Bull 2766]

Stanford wins 8-1.

[Cairn Horn88 8285]

Ballgame.  Stanford wins 8-1.

[DalTxHornFan 3118]

Neely was impressive coming in to a tough situation.  He could be a great asset.

 

[Cairn Horn88 8285]

Texas   1-5-2

Stan      8-8-0

Ugly.  Gave up our 1st HR of the year.  McCann injured (TBD).  Saturday's game scheduled for 4:05.

 

 

 

[Valmy77 13273]

The wild pitches and passed balls are out of control. I don't know if we are going to find an answer to this problem this season.

He pitched 3 1/3 innings, struck out 6, so....pretty good showing to keep things in check.
