Houston Christian game

[WorsterMan]

Pitch right over the middle of the plate: boom, HC solo HR!

18 -3

 

[WorsterMan]

DuPlantier retires the side.

Close it out Horns and go 3-1 on the season.

 

[Chop]

Nice hitting and fast running by Schussler and Oliver Service.

 

[Chop]

Passed ball. Schuesler steals home.

Right about now Schuesler feels like he's Carl Lewis.

 

[WorsterMan]

Poor Houston Christian U. is WAY overmatched and sucks.

Horns up 19-2 now and will be worse before the end....

 

[Chop]

Here was the thinking (or the justification): Texas Big City Church schools tend to be good. Look at DBU. Well here's one down in Houston--must be pretty good competition. Like DBU...

Easton Tumis

Hudson Hamilton

The entire batting lineup

 

[Chop]

Easton Tumis and Hudson Hamilton have got "it".

That's some good scouting and recruiting by our staff.

 

[Chop]

Cade O'Hara (the infielder) will pitch for us in the 9th.

We might see some more appearances on the mound by Cade O'Hara

Post game interview:

Coach: praised Tumis and Hamilton. Said Cade O'Hara is now a 2-way player.
It was good to see a lot of new guys, a lot of young guys. We had great players coming off the bench into the game. What a play by Constantine at 1st base.

 

[Chop]

Tumis gets his first college "W".

6,800 + people were at this MID-WEEK GAME in the COLD.

(that's the "Official" count anyways...)

It seems that more people are starting to like this stuff.

Hope for warmer weather and more tune-up games.

Good to see players that don’t see much action get in the game. We need more games like this!

 

[FWHORN]

Texas did to an overmatched opponent exactly what it should do to an overmatched opponent.

 

[Chop]

Uh oh.

Homerun off Andre DuPlantier..............

I used to type this frequently last year and the year before.

DuP's numbers last year weren't bad, but there were a number of forgettable moments that really cost us. I'm hoping he has it all worked out this year.

Last name Ryan, from Alvin, and a pitcher. Is he related to who I think ... ?

I'm not sure how they are counting attendance this year, but there weren't 6,800 people at the game last night. They must be counting all season ticket holders as present. The stadium was about 50% empty and no way we had more than 3,500 people there. The temps were in the 60's so not really cold either. I was wearing a short sleeved shirt and never felt the need to put on my jacket.

Did get a heavy metal David Ash sighting. That dude counts as 1k by himself!!

Now there's one guy who is not chopped liver.

 

[Chop]

60s is still cold for baseball in Austin IMHO.

 

[Chop]

We need just a small handful of this type of opponent early on. I'd like to stack the rest of the non-conference with some pretty good competition.

Passed ball. Schuesler steals home.

Right about now Schuesler feels like he's Carl Lewis.

You know, Schussler really does have some good wheels for a big man.

Re: the avatar, it's actually an old movie poster. He's holding a gun up with his right hand, but you can't see it well against his dark suit. And to the right, there's some big letters spelling BLAM! BLAM! like in the old Batman tv show. (I had to draw in the "OU Sux!" part and make the background burnt orange).
