Guiterrez goes 2-1; 2-2; Shaw dives at a foul pop up down the line-misses it; 5-4-3 DP ends the threat

[utisdabomb12]

The umps consistent I'll give him that, but boy what a small strikezone.

 

[utisdabomb12]

Just hit the ball to left, and you can hit a homer. Clemens barely got contact on that and almost hit it to the warning track.

T2;

CJ works full count; 5-3; 1 down

Clemens FO7; 2 down

Carter singles up the middle

Marlow up; his new bat is showing some evidence of hits;

Goes down 1-2; hit & run on and he fouls it back.

K swinigng

1 LOB

Texas up 1-0 headed B2

 

[utisdabomb12]

Wow, this umps strikezone is small.

 

[utisdabomb12]

Good start for Thornhill.

 

[joeywa]

Yep; ball is really carrying today. Gusty winds will allow for a couple of dingers today on anything left up in the zone. Mistakes by the P will be exploited today.

B2

Kirsch goes 2-2 in the count; FO8 on a lazy liner. 1 out

Neslony K swinging; Thornhill had him guessing the entire AB

Long K swinigng; Nate getting his groove on.

After 2; 1-0 Texas

T3

Johnson up

Home Run;

Texas up 2-0

 

[utisdabomb12]

Wow, Johnson hits a pop fly for a homerun. Just hit it to left field and you can hit a homer, never seen anything like this.

 

[utisdabomb12]

Tie doesn't go to the runner anymore I guess.

 

[streettopeschel]

thornhill looking efficient so far.

hey look...a HR!

 

[armadillo slim]

3 hr's in lubbock, the null set in austin.

the admin needs to quit being stubborn and bring the fn'g fences in. we're killing the ball in lubbock. confidence is soaring. when they get rid of the sorry ass bats, then they can put the fences back.

 

[joeywa]

Johnson's HR was a high towering ball that just got inside the foul pole on the LF line. Just kept carrying

Payton bunts????? 1-3; 1 down

With the wind like it is today, swing away.

Tres up

Goes down 1-2; 2-2; swings at a high-inside pitch.

K swinging, but the C couldn't hang onto the ball, PB and Tres is on 1B

Shaw up

4-6, no play on Shaw at 1B; SS overthrew 1B, but the ball bounced right back to 1B. 2 down

Gurwitz up

1-0 and Shaw steals 2B.

2-0

3-0 Shaw tries to steal 3B; busted. 2-5

Texas up 2-0 headed B3

interesting. how long have you held this opinion ?

 

[Bear19]

Why try to steal third with two out?

 

[utisdabomb12]

Thornhill dealing so far. Disch Falk makes these other ballparks look so small.

 

[joeywa]

B3

Floyd takes 0-2 pitch to Marlow; 4-3; 1 out

Proudfoot quickly goes down 0-2; and Marlow getting a little workout; sliding grab; 4-3; 2 outs

Smith 6-3, Clemens has to tag the runner since CJ's throw led him down the 1B line towards home.

After 3; Texas up 2-0

 

[joeywa]

Why try to steal third with two out?

To set up the bunt 3rd out. Duh!

 

[utisdabomb12]

Stop swinging at his breaking ball, he can't throw that pitch for a strike.

 

[utisdabomb12]

Liking Carter's at bats. Patient and waits for good pitches.
