Another good approach and at bat there. Those will eventually start falling.

Definitely not the fire in this game that there was last weekend against WVU.

I didn't think Brown had a chance at making that catch in CF. I already was composing a line about another 2B for Shaw.

Really nice job to track that down. Tip of the cap to the senior.

[utisdabomb12]

Nobody is going to hit the ball out today. 

 

[Matt Cotcher]

Heavy air + Solid breeze blowing in = nobody even has warning track power today

Line drives like Marlow's are the answer.

[joeywa]

KSU is really offering a lot of different OF looks this game.  Shifts, playing guys mixed deep and shallow.  Pretty interesting that they haven't been exposed on this yet by the Texas hitters.  A lot of hard hit balls, and their OF does have some closing speed and have made some really good plays. 

 

[utisdabomb12]

Can't make the throw home there. 

Actually after second look there he had a chance at home, just made a bad throw.

Skip to the bump

 

[Matt Cotcher]

As good as Ben Johnson's throw was earlier, Gurwitz' was equally poor. Yikes.

It looked to me like the ball slipped out his hand, or he didn't have a good grip on it as he was throwing.

 

[utisdabomb12]

Need the bats to respond now.
