[joeywa]

Johnson was just out in front of that pitch.  Nice off-speed offering by TCU P.

 

[utisdabomb12]

French having a tough time getting outs early. 

 

[utisdabomb12]

This might be a long day for French. Better get the pen going. 

 

[Matt Cotcher]

Parker French's BAA is .249. He's allowed 5 hits in two innings.

Preston Morrison's BAA is .205. He's allowed 4 hits in two innings.

Add in the errors and this is bizarro world.

 

[armadillo slim]

it is past time to put french out of his misery, skip.

[armadillo slim]

of course, this game is pretty much done.  might as well not tire anybody else out.  so on second thought, just leave him in there.

 

[armadillo slim]

trying the reverse jinx.  probably won't work, but nothing else is either so what the hell.

 

[Aaron Carrara]

Not French's day on the mound...

[utisdabomb12]

The score could be much worse. Only down 3 is kind of a miracle right now. 

 

[armadillo slim]

French having a tough time getting outs early. 

the self inflicted damage in the first sure didn't help.

 

[armadillo slim]

lets's get a bounce back run this inning, boys

 

[armadillo slim]

let him hit, augie

 

[armadillo slim]

i think the umps are  color blind.  they actually helped the team in orange?  somebody call Ripley's.

 

[Matt Cotcher]

Now with the interference when CJH was picked off...I'm telling y'all:

...this is bizarro world.

Fill in the blanks boys. What's happening?
