Texas vs WVU Game 2 Thread ***Sat 5 PM CST***

[Worster1]

the WVU jerseys are very distracting.  Probably another Nike attempt to pimp up another sport - please not baseball.

What is wrong with mullets - Juan likes them.

 

[java]

I despise mullets. If there is a more unattractive haircut, I haven't seen it.

Get 'em, Texas!

What's not to like? Business in the front and party in the back!

B1

WVU LHP has an odd arm slot.

Johnson

1-0 down

1-1 swing

1-2 fouled back

2-2 low/away

3-2 away

IF hit; ball is hit hard right back at Vance, and goes off his arm/shoulder, he dives to shuttle the ball to 1B and Johnson beats the throw.

Vance gets a minute to make a few more warmup pitches to make sure his arm is fine.

Shaw

0-2 bunt fouled down

0-2 fouled down 1B line; just outside the chalk

Currently sports a mullet.

Barrera is over swinging. 

Yep.  He's in a bit of a funk.  It'll settle down son.

 

[Matt Cotcher]

Urban camo baseball jerseys are on par with what Adidas does to college hoops uniforms. 

 

[Aaron Carrara]

Barrera is due.

Urban camo? SMH.......

Urban camo? Oxymoron. I guess it sells....

Other teams get clutch hits

Why don't we get clutch hits?

Freshman mistake there. 

 

[Matt Cotcher]

Not sure I agree with that call after watching a replay.

Regardless Texas has a lackadaisical, self-entitled approach today. This game got more interesting after 1.5, imo.
