If we can somehow get 5 or 6 from Schiraldi out of this, what a win. The thing that makes Schiraldi so frustrating is that he has great stuff. Just throw strikes. 

 

[armadillo slim]

Can't get it. Please keep posting.

i've got it on Dish 445

schiraldi finally found something last inning.  he's very, very lucky to have only given up one run, but he went to his breaking pitches and found something.  he can't throw his fastball for strikes, but he can throw the breaking pitches.  weird.  he's still lucky to have this lead, but that was a helluva last inning.  great answer.

and joey, i had a corona earlier, thank you very much.

Not many people in the stands. There seems to be more TT fans than Longhorn fans

Gotta get up at 5am so I am hitting the sack. Don't let us lose. Hook'em!!

 

[utisdabomb12]

Schiraldi always starts throwing better after about the 3rd or 4th inning. His arm is too lively at the beginning of games. Once his arm gets a little tired he starts throwing strikes. 

 

[Matt Cotcher]

who is the guy doing the color on this broadcast?  obviously a ball player.  i think he's real good.

Jay Payton - had a 12'ish year MLB career with half a dozen teams.

Glad Skip and Augie are the coaches and not me. I would have pulled Schiraldi after that lead off walk in the 3rd. Saved our bullpen. 

 

[armadillo slim]

my favorite player for the last couple of years has been payton, but i'll tell you, i think ben johnson is one helluva good looking ball player.  fast as shit, great pop, great arm.   works out in the weight room like a fiend and it shows.  this guy is going to be hell on wheels next year.

me too.

he has pulled it together, no doubt.  how much was him and how much was coaching, but i don't care.  he did an admirable job of holding it together.  kudos.
