A couple of trends worth keeping an eye on this evening:

• The Horns are hitting .295 with two outs this season.

• Texas has scored 83 of its 114 runs in innings where the leadoff man reaches base safely.

I was gonna go, but forecast is calling for rain tonight in DFW

 

[Matt Cotcher]

One more interesting subplot of tonight's game:

The spot for the third weekend starter is not firm in the coaches' minds. At the moment, Josh Sawyer is trending down & Connor Mayes is trending up. That makes Kacy Clemens' start tonight very interesting..

Sounds like UTA's pitcher is having a difficult time throwing strikes.

yeah, that's a helluva trend you're tracking there matthew.  thru two its the same ol, same ol.  five runners left on base, no runs, no clutch hits, caught LOOKING for strike three with the bases loaded in the second.

this team just flat struggles to get runs home.  their buttholes pucker and they take pitches.  g'damn, there's nothing (not even unnecessary f'ng bunts) that piss me off more than backwards K's with two outs and the bases loaded.

swing the f'ng bat, colin!!!

geezus h. kryste.

doesn't matter.  they've walked four and we've scored none.  on base seems a nice place to store them while you're wating for your pitches to come around.

 

[Matt Cotcher]

B2nd

Tate, lined to RCF, runner on 1B, 0 outs

Cox, F8, no advance, 1 out

Littel, K on check swing, 2 

Radio broadcast & Gametracker both drop the game with Williams batting

(EDIT: Tate ruled out because he didn't touch 2B when retreating on the fly ball)

Headed to T3rd

UT 0

UTA 0

And you're now returned to your regularly scheduled programming.

HornSports is going to the bullpen and joeywa will enter the game for PBP....

Good evening sports fans.  Just got to my hotel.  Let's see if we can get some runs here.

HUGE thanks to Matt for picking up the slack for me.

CJ

1-0

1-1 swing

2-1 dirt

3-1

3-2 swing

Singles into LCF with a little Texas leaguer.

Tres

1-3 on the SAC Bunt; P loses the handle on the hard bunt right back to him, otherwise he has a DP.

1 out; CJ moves to 2B

Marlow

1-0 up

1-1 fouled down left side

Deep fly ball to RF, F9 as RF catches on the warning tracks.

CJ to 3B

Boswell

1-0

2-0 up

2-1 take

4-3 on a slow roller as Boswell may have beat that out, but 1B Blue makes up his mind late and calls him out.

1 LOB

No score going B3

 

[armadillo slim]
