Texas at KSU

[Lat22 4,010]

OK, I’ve done some more research on exactly how the ninth went down. I want to fucking puke. 

[GreenspointTexas 9,598]

If charlie got 3, and shaka is getting 4, the DP will likely get 5

Pathetic pitching performances from start to finish tonight. 

Indeed. Matched only by our ridiculous hitting tactics in the first 6-7 innings with an incredibly small zone.

So, we fucking tie it up in the T9.

And load the fucking bases with no outs in the B9:  HBP HBP Single.

Un.  Fucking.  Real.

To be clear, it went single, HBP, HBP, then Pierce realized the maybe Beau didn’t have his good stuff and went to his fight fielder for relief, Single.

2 hits, 2 HBP, 0 outs after a 7 run rally by the offense.

unreal.

[TwiceHorn 31,440]

Pretty sure Ridgeway gave up the second single.  There was talk of McGuire but it didn't happen.

[TwiceHorn 31,440]

4.72 Team ERA.  And with half the season gone, more likely to hit 5 than get under 4.

[Mo Horn 8,831]

Heading to the game today.  Hopefully they can salvage a win.

Shit. You’re right. I turned on and watched that half of half inning too.  I swore he called for McGuire and he was switching gloves and shit. Drinking a lot of beer too, so who knows.

Checking the box score, looks like Beau gave up the two hits and two HBPs with only 8 total pitches. Really efficient little outing.

Pierce does have an eye for pitching. Glad he stuck with Ridgeway but pulled Nolan after 2.

Didn't we used to be kinda good at baseball? Seems like I remember something like that but it's been so long ago . . .

We are a volleyball and swimming school now. Longhorn out front should have told you.

Sweep on the road is a lot to ask for with this team, but I expect two wins. 

Too much to expect, apparently. First series loss in Manhattan in 20 years.

Im sick and tired of having to eek my way through life

[Majorcholas 508]

I feel like a washed up old man wearing my letterman jacket and talking about the good old days while watching continuous 05 ish highlights of the big three sports.

this is brutal.

[zlavydra 2,119]

Can't wait to see who we roll out to the mound with three games in the next four days. Anyone know why el Rey de Jamon was pulled after two innings? Didn't seem like a major injury

Scary. 

[Hook'Em0608 96]

Who would have thought pitching would be the demise of Longhorn baseball? 

[bschoolprof 6,252]

My biggest fear when Pierce took over is our pitching would become shittier and our hitting would improve, leaving little in the way of net improvement.  

Our hitting has improved somewhat, but we still look at way too many strikes.  It's maddening and pussy baseball.  My local youth league is more aggressive at the plate than we are.  Part of that is a legacy from the old regime, but I would like to see batters that continue to get rung up looking on hittable pitches to get benched.

On the pitching front, holy fuck it's worse than I imagined. Every single one of our pitchers just looks uncomfortable on the mound.  Ridgeway is just broken.  Pierce absolutely must bring in a full time, non-volunteer pitching guru next year if he wants to keep his job.  

[Guest Falko]

The pitching is terrible.

[NeverMarryAStripper 21,876]

What time is the loss today?

With Shart on the mound, it usually happens in the 5th. So, like, 2:30?

[Horny Bull 2,759]

 

[zlavydra 2,119]

Maybe pierce is saving Kingham for island Aggy - someone we might beat.

[Horny Bull 2,759]

Shaw leads off Game 3 with a base hit.

[zlavydra 2,119]

Thanks for updates. 

[Horny Bull 2,759]

RBI single for Reynolds makes it 1-0 Texas.

[zlavydra 2,119]

KSU hurler shittier than the Shart?

[Horny Bull 2,759]

Solo shot for KSU ties the game at 1.

[Horny Bull 2,759]

Bases loaded HBP for McGuire makes it 2-1 Texas in the 3rd.

Belt high fastball?

[Mo Horn 8,831]

Every pitch he's hung has been hit hard. 

[zlavydra 2,119]

Assuming we left the bases loaded

[Mo Horn 8,831]

 Another hanging breaking ball, another solid hit. 

[Majorcholas 508]

It’s so frustrating when we get something going and then give it right back the next 1/2 inning

[Horny Bull 2,759]

4-2 KSU B3. 

[Mo Horn 8,831]

Belt high fastball is like putting it on a tee.

[zlavydra 2,119]

No problem. We have a great bullpen, which is going to save the day.

[Horny Bull 2,759]

Kansas State leads 5-2 after 3. 

[zlavydra 2,119]

Shart still in there?

[Mo Horn 8,831]

 Weak response to giving up 4 runs

[Horny Bull 2,759]

2 RBI double for McGuire makes it 5-4. 

[rivin 199]

Tied, nice.

[Horny Bull 2,759]

RBI single for Baker ties the game at 5. 

[Horny Bull 2,759]

McKenzie draws a bases loaded walk to make it 6-5 Texas. 

[Horny Bull 2,759]

Shaw also draws a bases loaded walk to make it 7-5 Texas. 

[Horny Bull 2,759]

RBI single for Hibbeler makes it 8-5 Texas. 

[Horny Bull 2,759]

RBI groudout for Clemens makes it 9-5 Texas.

Nice 7 run inning

Great DP. Bocchi warming up
