Xavier @ Texas Series

[zlavydra 2123]

Xavier, fresh off their heartbreaking NIT loss at the hands of the Shaka Squad, wipes the tears away and returns for more punishment.  They've played almost all of their games on the road, against mostly stout competition.

Here are the 3 Musketeers they're trotting out to the mound:

PROBABLE STARTING PITCHERS
FRIDAY—Texas So. RHP Bryce Elder (2-1, 1.98) vs. Xavier Sr. RHP Damien Richard (0-1, 9.98)
SATURDAY—Texas Jr. RHP Blair Henley (3-1, 3.74) vs. Xavier So. RHP Griffin Lanoue (2-1, 6.27)
SUNDAY—Texas Fr. RHP Coy Cobb (0-2, 3.70) vs. Xavier Jr. RHP Conor Grammes (1-5, 7.33)

Those are some ugly pitching stats.  Keyboards will be shredded when they register a 1-2-3 inning.

Looks like a good weekend to boost the BA's.  (Hopefully Texas averages)

Surely their illustrious performance against UIW didn’t prompt this optimism ...

[zlavydra 2123]

I'd just like to see:

1) Texas consistently hitting the ball hard; and

2) Cobb to give us 5 innings minimum. If he can't do that, he can't start weekend games.

No Zubia today.

[zlavydra 2123]

Does Pierce have something against Son of Bertel?  Why not let him DH or play 1st against a lousy RHP?

[Levi 2588]

That’s close but duke looks out

[rivin 199]

Good evening guys, let's win this.

[zlavydra 2123]

No score after 1. You don't just show up and expect to get on base against the Musketeer ace.

[tejas60 3534]

That 9.98 era just scares you to death. 

[Llano Estacado 1257]

Hi y’all. Just turned in and it appears DDA gave up his seat. I’ll try and harness his powers.

I’m more drunk than TCU game 1. As drunk as Sat. Less drunk than Sunday. I’m not sure what that means, but I’m going to keep drinking.

[Llano Estacado 1257]

NM I see DDA

[zlavydra 2123]

Hibbeler with lead off single, but he really should have been out on that 0-2 pitch

Yeah, looked like he even thought so.

[zlavydra 2123]

1-0 on three consecutive singles

[zlavydra 2123]

2-0 after 2. Xavier pitcher's ERA decreases all the same.

[tejas60 3534]

F x-zavier coach. 

[Llano Estacado 1257]

Elder had 1 2 3 T3

K, 6, ꓘ

Xavier coach seems like a dick.

[Llano Estacado 1257]

X responds with 123

Ellis 3
Kennedy 6
Todd PU6

[hornbri 1400]

Kinda embarrassing their coach had to correct them on how to pronounce Xavier.  

[hornbri 1400]

Nice throw out

[rivin 199]

Hahaha fuck that guy

[tejas60 3534]

Fuck that Ohio piece of shit. 

[Llano Estacado 1257]

Hibbler with a good infield play
Single
Todd good catch
Single
McCann bobbles the catch, but gets the man trying to advance to 3rd.

[zlavydra 2123]

Thanks, Z-idiot.

[Llano Estacado 1257]

X has another 123. Bottom 4. 2-0.

[zlavydra 2123]

Reynolds absolutely dominated. That's 9 in a row.

[zlavydra 2123]

No question which team is hitting the ball harder.

[Valmy77 13251]

Elder is pitching out of jams but damn this team is slumping.

Put that on a tee for hibbeler....still 2-0

[Cairn Horn88 8277]

It was a dark and stormy night.

[GreenspointTexas 9662]

Damn, there is no one at the ballpark on such a nice night

[GreenspointTexas 9662]

Panic time

[Valmy77 13251]

Save us Cole!

[zlavydra 2123]

Aramis on 1st, Athos on 2nd, Porthos on 3rd. One out.

That girl needs some company!

[Valmy77 13251]

Poor Elder

[dcar00 14316]

this is all a bit too familiar...

[TwiceHorn 31512]

My goodness.

[GreenspointTexas 9662]

Another late game meltdown

[zlavydra 2123]

You dont just stroll into your home park and expect to get more than 3 hits against this kind of pitching.

[GreenspointTexas 9662]

Xavier is 9-15, swept by Grand Canyon and Lipscomb so far this season

[freyguy 4280]

So our closer is batting....

He plays outfield as well.

[Valmy77 13251]

Ok let's get Ellis home.
