I should clarify.  He's not going to change anytime soon.  The guy needs time in practice and with the coaches just to dial it to a point where it makes sense to get into games again.  That can absolutely happen this yr, but where he is right now with lack of control, it's not just going to flip over the next couple of games where he's working the black and corners.  Sorry man, it's not and to intimate otherwise is absurd. (btw, you are not intimating this but some of the Rescue Rangers here are)

He looked like an all conference reliever against LSU and Tech (5.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 6 K, 0 WP).  He could absolutely find it again as quickly as he lost it.  Or not.

1-0 Zavier, mostly because of a scorched double on a bad 0-2 pitch.

[zlavydra 2123]

Sweet approach. Swinging at the first pitch against a guy who has issued 13 walks in 19 innings.

[zlavydra 2123]

Bad luck for reynolds. 1-0 after 1

[zlavydra 2123]

Henley works around a walk and another 0-2 hit. Still 1-0 Fighting Alexander Dumas.

[zlavydra 2123]

Leadoff Zubia double, then zilch. Son of Bertel hit the ball hard though,.

[dcar00 14381]

Its strange we don't try to bunt over Zubia after lead off double.  so many more ways to score him from 3rd and he's rarely going to score on a single.

[EuroHorn 3272]

Stud sluggers. Power pitchers...  

[zlavydra 2123]

Moreland is going to adopt the Xavier SS

[zlavydra 2123]

You don't just make it to first on a weak FC and expect to not get picked off by Griffin Lanoue.

[Llano Estacado 1257]

Good Augie ball leads to poor base running

[ClubWhatever 12159]

So Shaw really thought he could score on that ball?

[bschoolprof 6273]

Wtf was that inning? Out at home and picked off at 1st.

I may have over estimated this team based on our hot start.

I think they had the contact call on. 

[bschoolprof 6273]

2-0 on wild pitch 

[OU Sucks 8917]

Geez Henley.

[dcar00 14381]

I came to the conclusion from UIW and last night that this team is just not very good but the good news is they don't have any quit in them.  likely will be enough to get them to the tournament but not much farther.

[zlavydra 2123]

Another easy inning for Xavier golden spikes finalist.

[Llano Estacado 1257]

I think Deadpool got him.

[zlavydra 2123]

Can we just plug Bertelson into the line up now?

[zlavydra 2123]

Tie game

[rivin 199]

Hell yes, about time!

[zlavydra 2123]

3-2 on Ellis SF

[Llano Estacado 1257]

More!

[Pato del Muerto 52625]

Turned this on with hibbeler at 1-0 so good job me. 

Not sure why the X coach kept saying suicide squeeze as if that mattered with the hbp. Maybe he was arguing that because it was a suicide squeeze that means the batter made an attempt to bunt it. But McCann had let go of the bat. 

And, is it within the rules for the LF to fake the catch like that to try and get the tagging runner to leave early?

[Llano Estacado 1257]

More!

Don't know, but he looked pretty regarded doing it.

[dcar00 14381]

here we go. 

[Llano Estacado 1257]

Nice outing by Henley. He put himself in some spots, but worked out of most of them. 5-2 Horns M6

[Brandywine 1317]

Lots of empty seats tonight

[petscii 1189]

Kam in to ...  run for zubia

Why wouldn't it be?

[petscii 1189]

Wild pitch, Kam in.... to score... 6-2 bottom of the 8th...

Some deception is allowed, some is not.  Baseball can have funny rules. 

[Enfield 109]

We just can’t have nice things.

[OU Sucks 8917]

DDA needs to shut up when we're pitching.

[Gut Wagon 8087]

Teetering on the edge...again. 

[Llano Estacado 1257]

...and the tying runner reaches base with no outs in T9

[Gut Wagon 8087]

As does the lead run. 

[Enfield 109]

Why stay with bocci? Why?

[Llano Estacado 1257]

DDA needs a good I-talian cheer

[LTtxfan 49378]

Any Surly folks have eligibility left that can pitch for the Horns??

Bullpen is struggling......

Let me guess, Kam blew the lead ?
