Kansas vs Texas series

[Chop]

Powell to Jack for the out. Couldn't turn 2.

2 down
runner on 1st

 

[giveemhell]

LBJ around 75 pitches -- he may be pulled early to save arm for the Big 12 tourney and beyond.

Let’s let him bean a few batters first, though

 

[Chop]

K!!!!

To the bottom of the 6th

7-1 us.

LBJ with 86 pitches. I'd think he's done for today.

 

[Chop]

Callahan is done on the mound for KU
Callahan gets the hook
Exit stage left
Hit the showers ya' filthy bum!

Enter Dougan to the mound for KU.
Dougan brings his 2.93 ERA to the mound, 18 K, 8 walks in 15 innings. His #s aren't bad, but how many innings can he last?

 

[Chop]

Jack O'Dowd

Draws a walk

 

[Chop]

D Kennedy to run for O'Dowd

 

[Chop]

Thomas

4 pitch walk

Flores up with 2 on, no outs

 

[giveemhell]

Okie State takes the first game of their double-header versus Houston 20-3, as the Coogs shrewdly encourage the Pokes to become over-confident and wear themselves out on the base paths

 

[Chop]

Flores

bunts them over

Runners on 2nd and 3rd

One out.

 

[Chop]

Powell

Sac fly to LF.

DK comes in. 8-1 us.

uh oh -- Thomas caught in a rundown on the way to 3rd. They got him. 3 outs.

After 6 innings.

8-1 Horns!

 

[Chop]

And LBJ is done.

Good job by LBJ.

6 full innings, surrendering only 1 run.

 

[Chop]

Tole is on to pitch for us.

Pretty good control, but he's been hit pretty hard. Some say the rub on Tole is a flat fastball without much movement. That, and hanging meat in the upper and middle part of the zone. When his breaking balls don't break, bad things happen.

His role here: eat innings.

 

[Chop]

Fly out to Gaspo.

Now a base hit.

Runner advances after ball goes off Galvan's glove... (passed ball in my scorebook)

 

[Chop]

And just like that, the WTF moments commence...

 

[giveemhell]

Is it Heston Tole or Tole Heston, I can never remember

 

[Chop]

Borba swung that ball from his glove into the outfield. Weird play. Powell did good to get the ball, but the throw was way off. A rare E for Powell.


Runners on 2nd and 3rd
1 out.

 

[Chop]

Is it Heston Tole or Tole Heston, I can never remember

I didn't know he had any name other than "Tole"...

 

[Chop]

2 RBI double.

Tole getting hit........hard............

Just get some outs man.

8-3 us.

 

[giveemhell]

Never trust a pitcher with two last names

 

[Chop]

Tole is finished for today.

Enter Shaw. He's struggled throughout this year after coming back from an injury. He had a really good shutdown 1 inning appearance a week or two ago. Maybe he's good to shut them down here.

Else, go to Hudson Hamilton and save our top experienced arms for the tourneys.

 

[Chop]

Shaw
1st batter he faces

4 pitch walk

 

[Chop]

Shaw

Beans the 2nd batter he faces.

Bases loaded.

PULL HIM NOW!!!!!!!

 

[Chop]

[Chop]

Shaw throws a wild pitch

Runner scores

8-5 us.

NOW WILL YOU PULL HIM????????

 

[giveemhell]

Wheels are coming off

 

[Chop]

Now Shaw walks another batter.
2 on

We can't hand them this game. We could have a sweep here.

 

[mchammer]

Now Shaw walks another batter.
2 on
2 out

We can't hand them this game. We could have a sweep here.

Can we not have good things, like a sweep?

 

[giveemhell]

Boehm coming out to right the ship

 

[giveemhell]

Can we not have good things, like a sweep?

You are asking a lot from this team

 

[giveemhell]

It’s like the entire team has a case of the yips now
