WEEKEND SERIES – Texas visits Kentucky

[alonghorn72]

Who says baseball isn't exciting?

 

[david ficken]

I hope that doesn't come back to bite us.

I go by Keith's statement got to get the runners in with 2 or less outs. So, I hope so too.

You could hear the HBP

Top of the 6th,
Kentucky is making a pitching change

 

[longhorndon]

Hit by Pitch is annoying in this series... UK guys diving over the plate... no worries. Kimble says he gets hit, has a mark, no hbp.... frustrating.

 

[longhorndon]

Kimble gets his revenge and a hit.


Edited... for brain fart! Kimble, not Mitchell

At least Schuessler comes trough despite the bad call.

 

[david ficken]

Back to action in the top of the 6th. Schuessler hits a single. Gasparino moves to 3rd. Farmer with a Sac. fly. Gasparino scores.
Texas leads 4-1.

 

[david ficken]

Thru 5.5 Texas leads 4-1

Bottom of the 6th,

Riojas is giving us what we needed. 1 out single stranded by Kentucky. Riojas has gone 6 innings.

Thru 6 compete Texas leads 4-1.

In non-baseball news, a house appears to have blown up in N Austin, about 15 miles from me, and it shook our house. Initial reports are there was at least one person in the house and they're receiving treatment. There may have been others.

I actually live 5 miles from the incident. I was in the gasoline line at Sam’s and everyone was shocked by the volume. We could see the plumes of smoke into the sky. My wife called and said the house shook. The Ring app was going crazy along with Avery Ranch Facebook. Three people were hurt and I still haven’t heard of the cause.

Alright, come on boys, let's get these three outs and bring it home.

I thought maybe a natural gas explosion but my wife found the house on Realtor.Com and it appears to be all electric.

KXAN reported on it so hopefully they’ll let us know on the news later. I also haven’t heard of any fatalities so that’s extremely fortunate!

 

[HORNfromETX]

Kentucky is scrappy as hell. I will take 2/3 and get the heck out of there.

Wow. I am currently mom sitting in Dripping Springs TX,but checking the location from the news article, and it's about 1 mile as the crow flies from our house.

Crews respond to house collapse in northwest Austin following reported explosion

The Austin Fire Department said three people were pulled from the house and treated by paramedics.

Texas wins 5-4. Texas wins the series. If the Georgia leads holds up we could be sitting alone the top of the SEC. Saunier with the save. Riojas the winning pitcher

Last week Texas used 5 guys, this week they had to use a lot of different guys and got the job done.

 

[tejasrulz]

Georgia came back to beat the pigs in the 12th inning which puts Texas alone at 1st in the $ec!

 

[longhorndon]

Frustrating at times, but a good series win. We got to see a lot of arms in high-pressure situations. I was really impressed by Burns yesterday in the loss. Saunier did well to close the game today.

Nice to see some rarely used arms step up and log some quality innings. Moffitt, Saunier and Burns all did good jobs in appearances this weekend.

I think this is what we can expect with this staff and the benefit of bringing in Max "the arm farm" Weiner. In season development and more usable arms at the end of the season compared to the beginning.
