BWilk55 Posted June 4 Author Report Share Posted June 4 Broadcast team showed an empty Texas bullpen so perhaps more of a leash than expected. I was thinking maybe 1 base runner and you make a move. Seems like they will give him at least a couple of runners before making a switch if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did give up a single 100th pitch was a 95 MPH heater for strikeout #6. I'd send him out for the 8th as well.

82Horn Posted June 4 Report Share Posted June 4 Thru 8 complete Texas 4-1. LBJ gave up a triple that Porter Brown misplayed a little bit. But got out of it. 115 is pitch count, hard to see him coming out in the 9th. Clutch pitching for sure in a big stage. Close it down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWilk55 Posted June 4 Author Report Share Posted June 4 LBJ y'all. 2 quick outs in the 8th before a liner gets by a diving Porter Brown in left field. Runner stretched it to a triple but was dead to rights if Texas executed the relay. LBJ bounces back getting a chopper back to the mound to complete the 8th frame, Texas up 4-1.

He has not been used in an extended role like this all year and he has been very effective. 9 Ks in 7 innings of shut out ball. All career highs for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texbound Posted June 4 Report Share Posted June 4 Okay, I watched it. That was a herculean effort by LBJ. Sad the bats went cold, that Miami pitcher had them confused. Awesome win. Eastexhorn, General Hooker, Coot and 2 others 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

82Horn Posted June 4 Report Share Posted June 4 Be interesting to see Tanner Witt tomorrow. He has looked really good. Not sure if they push him past 60 pitches tomorrow. But he can give us 4 solid innings would be a big plus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game ended tonight at 11 pm Miami time. They have game 1 tomorrow at noon and if they win, gotta get right back out for the 2nd game of the double header. I don't think Texas could have gone the route of playing 5 games to advance - especially with the 3 recent pitching losses. Having used only 1 reliever in the first 2 games is more than I could have asked for. We probably have all arms available tomorrow except for LBJ and Gordon.

Importantly, the staff has to protect him to a degree and keep him from getting injured again. 4 or 5 innings if efficient would be great. 60-65 pitches probably the max. dssl and Eastexhorn 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TB14 Posted June 4 Report Share Posted June 4 Really shocked they let LBJ go 130 pitches. He was a DOG last night! But I never want to see a college guy throw over 120. Sad that Pierce felt he needed to since we have no one in the bullpen we really trust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
