Texas vs. Rice, 6:30 PM (LHN)

[Valmy77 13569]

Starting to get nervous...

[zlavydra 2142]

Why did Bocchi change his delivery?  If there was a story about this, I missed it.

They dropped him down to get more movement

[zlavydra 2142]

Just gave them an extra out

[zlavydra 2142]

Damn, thought he was safe at first. 2-1 mid 6th.

[NeverMarryAStripper 22247]

Can’t believe rice didn’t challenge that

[Machinator 32102]

Not complaining, but how do you not challenge there?

[Machinator 32102]

Duke's swing looked really nice there.

[Pato del Muerto 53345]

I might throw as hard as this kid. He shouldn’t be getting more outs than hits. 

[Machinator 32102]

Really stretching with that Gary Johnson comp, Lowell.

[Valmy77 13569]

Here we go!

Ford is rapidly becoming my favorite President.

You only get 2 per game, right?  Might be saving that last one for something more crucial than a 2 out hit. 

[Machinator 32102]

Finally, a well-executed hit-and-run.

[Machinator 32102]

We love hitting into double plays today.

3-1

[Pato del Muerto 53345]

4 dp in 6 innings keeping rice in it. 

[brojangles2 791]

I wanna punch this Nick Swardson wanna be, junkerballing little dork. 

[zlavydra 2142]

Bad body language, Bocchi....

[83Horn 1665]

Nice strike out by Bocchi to end the inning, but fuck that behind the plate camera angle.  I would have like to see the pitch.

From that angle, you can't tell whether he's throwing meatballs or straight Parmesan cheese.

[Machinator 32102]

Tate sets up the eventual double play.

[83Horn 1665]

Another hit wasted...Shaw throw out at second.

[zlavydra 2142]

Can Rice's catcher give McCann some defensive lessons, please?

[Pato del Muerto 53345]

Wow. 

[Machinator 32102]

That was basically a double play, extended over two pitches.

[Valmy77 13569]

I was going to say...at least it was a different sort of double play.

[zlavydra 2142]

Zubia lucked out on that 2-2 pitch. After taking a change up that did nothing...

[83Horn 1665]

On to top of 8, 3-1 Texas

[83Horn 1665]

Brandon Ivey on to pitch

[Enfield 109]

Ivey looks like Diaz

[GreenspointTexas 9933]

Ah the ol’ canvas owl conversation

 

fuck yall, this broadcast team is hilariously awesome

[Machinator 32102]

3-1 M8

[83Horn 1665]

Alright Horns, need three outs to win this thing. 

[Machinator 32102]

Diaz will close it out.

3-1 going to the 9th

[zlavydra 2142]

Wow. Diaz put that on a tee. One down.

[83Horn 1665]

Line drive to left...one out.

[83Horn 1665]

Grounder to short.  Two down

[83Horn 1665]

Walk...tying run at bat

[83Horn 1665]

There it is. Texas wins.

[NeverMarryAStripper 22247]

Nice to see a good outing from the entire bullpen

[zlavydra 2142]

2 hours and 20 minutes. First Tuesday win in a while.

[Llano Estacado 1257]

Buenos Diaz beetches.

 

Nice to win midweek.

 

[Machinator 32102]

Good pitching, decent hitting (with some bad luck), lethargic base running, not terrible fielding. And a midweek win.

Time to start stringing wins together.

[Eugene11 379]

Don’t know if it’s been said but damn wish that idiot wearing the dilly fuckin dilly shirt wasn’t front and center. Show some class dipshit. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Pierce has been cautious with Diaz coming off the injury but he's starting to pitch well. I always thought he was the best option for the closer role. It will be interesting if Pierce has the faith to start using him a couple times a week now. 

[Pato del Muerto 53345]

As comfortable as a 2 run win can be. For this team, anyway. 

[Valmy77 13569]

Very good. Now let's sweep K-State.
