Texas vs Kansas - Game 3 (recap added)

[utisdabomb12]

Damn, but I'll take the runs. 

 

[Matt Cotcher]

This lineup needs to build off what they have brewing. Breaking through for more than 2 runs could do wonders for them.

Or not.

 

[joeywa]

Crooked numbers is a good thing for Texas.

B3

Goldstein

1-0 up

2-0 up

2-1 fouled down right

3-1 high/tight

1-3; 1 out; that was a gift.

Mirabelli

F6; that was a soft line drive and CJ had to go back to get that in shallow LF; 2 outs

Protacio

0-1 take

1-1 up

2-1 down

F8;

1-2-3

Texas 2

KU 0

3 in the books

 

[utisdabomb12]

The biggest problem for Clemens early in the year is he was over thinking. Just playing catch now. 

 

[utisdabomb12]

Get ahead in the count and get your pitch. That's the formula for success.

 

[joeywa]

T4; Weiman still on the hill for KU; Don't look now, but Texas has 8 hits through 3 innings.  Shhhh. 

Gurwitz

1-0 up

2-0

Singles through the left side past a diving SS-goes into LCF; Zane turns a single into a double by being aggressive. 

C to the bump for a quick convo.

Boswell

0-1 showed bunt; takes a strike

1-1 away

1-2 bunt foul down 3B line

KS; 1 out

New P for KU is going to be Toalson

 

[The Bry-Man81]

No more bunting

Swing away

Change your strategy, augie

I think he tried this already. Result is everyone (ok not everyone, but some people) calling for his job because we can't hit. If the bunting over a leadoff double leads to Sac fly runs and wins us games, I'll take it.

 

[joeywa]

T4 (cont) Gurwitz on 2B; 1 out; Toalson (0-0, 6.75 ERA) to the hill for KU

HA! Baker missed first base in his excitement. That's great. He'll hear about that in the dugout.

Going B4

 

[Matt Cotcher]

They're deep enough into KU's staff that the offense should find success.

11 hits through four innings - 5 of the XBH variety.

 

[java]

Wait, if Baker missed 1st base, isn't he out?

 

[Matt Cotcher]

Wait, if Baker missed 1st base, isn't he out?

He turned around, went back & tagged it.

 

[utisdabomb12]

Welp, better keep scoring. 

 

[java]

Well, at least there is that!  Thanks, Matt.  How embarrassing for him.

I like Baker - so much talent!  I predict good things with Baker & Cantu on the team.  I hope Johnson stays another year.  He is a Junior, right?

I'm listening to this weather report and a baseball game broke out.
