Texas vs KSU Game 1 Thread ***Sat 4 PM CST***

[java]

Let's go, Horns!

Upper classman pitcher goes high & tight to get strike 2. Then the true freshman doesn't chase low & away. Then he belts the next one into the gap.

When it's all said and done on the 40, Cantu may put himself into the leagues of the best all-around pure hitters to come to Texas.  Love his eye, he has power and finesse and is extremely patient. 

 

[Matt Cotcher]

New pitcher is freshman Bryce Ward, RHP. He goes 5'11", 180 pounds and is from Jenks, OK.

His favorite movie is Mean Girls.

Clemens with great at bats today. Am I crazy to think his higher upside might be at first? 

 

[joeywa]

B8 (cont) Stell in to PR for Cantu on 2B; Tie game; 0 outs; New RHP Ward in to P for KSU; Game tied at 3

E9 or not, that's still a great job by Clemens. His AB's today have been better than I gave him credit for at the outset.

Great defensively at first base too. I'm starting to think Clemens may be the best option at 1st with Cantu as the DH.

B8 (cont) 2 outs; Shaw on 1B;

CJ

This game is getting away from us right now

There is no "fire" in the team right now. It has the feel of a loss right now

I think a fine or suspension is in order for this GBT-esque surrender

 

[joeywa]

T9; Johnston in to P for Texas

 

[Johnstark23]

Matt is that Mike Morris working the plate this afternoon?

 

[joeywa]

T9

Brown

1-0 down

2-0 down; showed bunt-pulled back

Skip to the bump.

 

[utisdabomb12]

If Johnston can't throw strikes gonna have to roll with someone else in these situations.

Slim probably went and took a nap after this post.  These kind of games take a lot out of him.  Either that or he pulled his cap over his eyes and he passed out. 

 

[joeywa]

T9 (cont) 0 out, nobody on

Brown 2-0

3-0

3-1 take

3-2 look

Walks him

Mayes and Culbreth up in the pen

Johnston is done; Mayes coming in

 

[joeywa]

Ask and ye shall receive. 

 

[Matt Cotcher]

Johnston has amazing stuff, but no confidence in anything but his heat. The pitcher warming up before the inning vs the guy on the mound facing hitters is like two different people.

 

[joeywa]

T9 (cont) Runner on 1B; 0 outs; Mayes to the bump for Texas

Wolfe

0-1 take

0-2 looks at a wicked curve

0-2 fouled away right

SIngles up the middle-CJ dover and couldn't get to it.  He wouldn't have had a play if he did get it.

Runners at 1&2

Bee PH for Wodtke

Skip back to the bump; Mayes is done

Culbreth in

 

[utisdabomb12]

Not again bullpen.
