***Texas vs UT-Pan Am Tuesday Baseball Thread***

[utisdabomb12]

It's not Augie's call.  It's Skip's.

I know. Augie has final decision though. I think that's a point where Augie needs to say something to Skip. I didn't mind Lukas coming out in the second, but I would have pulled him after the leadoff walk. Granted, Skip and Augie are coaching at Texas and I'm sitting at home. 

 

[Aaron Carrara]

We've got a li'l something going on here in the bottom 2nd.  Let's capitalize and get some runs.

 

[utisdabomb12]

This game has absolutely no rhythm. Neither team is hitting the ball, but both are getting runners on base. 

 

[utisdabomb12]

Big at bat here for Johnson. Think you have to take a strike. The UTPA pitcher is struggling finding the strike zone. 

 

[utisdabomb12]

You have to take two strikes here Johnson. 

 

[utisdabomb12]

I will admit this umps strike zone is very small. Granted, when you are this wild the strike zone becomes smaller.

"Slow" is being generous. Have you ever seen a pitcher work that slow? Maybe it was just because he was laboring....

 

[utisdabomb12]

Big at bat here for Payton. 

 

[joeywa]

Situation: B2; Payton up; 2 outs; bases loaded; UTPA leads 2-1; new FR P for UTPA

UTPA bullpen is 0-13 with a 7.12 ERA

Payton up

F7 on 1st pitch swing.

After 1 complete; Texas down 2-1

 

[utisdabomb12]

Only one run, but we got to the bullpen. 7 innings to face a very bad bullpen. Time to get some runs. 

 

[utisdabomb12]

Sticking with Schiraldi for entirely too long. 

 

[utisdabomb12]

Have no clue how Lukas has only given up two runs. Great composure.

[utisdabomb12]

Great at bat there by Barrera. Just wait on this pitcher's curve, he hung all three of his off speed pitches there. 

 

[utisdabomb12]

Good hustle there by Barrera, but I don't think he will be playing receiver anytime soon. 

 

[utisdabomb12]

Great at bat by Barrera an absolutely horrible at bat by CJ. Why are you swinging? He can't throw a strike. 

 

[utisdabomb12]

Just stand there and this pitcher will walk you. He might throw 2 strikes, but I seriously doubt that he can throw three strikes in a row.
