Texas State game

[Chop]

Hurley’s finishing warming up.

we’re home team again.

 

[Chop]

Farber, their lead off batter hits a Homerun….

1-0 them

 

[Chop]

Ok ok. Settle in Hurley.

D Kennedy puts down the next batter. One away.

 

[Chop]

Powell slides over and gets the out on a grounder. Two away.

 

[aUTfan]

O’Dowd out of the lineup, Schuessler inserted in the 5 hole. Why the change now?? Why not BEFORE last night??

Oh well. Better changes get made this weekend. May the best man be in the lineup and in the right spot. Brown should feel some heat as well.

 

[Chop]

Beaned a batter on the foot.

 

[Chop]

Grounder to Hurley for the third out

1-0 them

 

[Chop]

Texas State makes a living at the plate scoring lots of runs. I think we will be able to effectively hit anyone they put on the mound.

 

[Chop]

Thomas almost got beaned. This pitcher for TX St looks a bit wild.

 

[Chop]

High fly out to CF by Thomas.

 

[Chop]

Powell slaps a grounder by the diving second baseman for a base hit.

 

[aUTfan]

Dang it. looks like he got Flores.

 

[aUTfan]

Texas St. is fired up like this is the world series championship and Texas is pretty even keeled, like they are just playing a normal saturday afternoon game.

 

[Chop]

Still 1-0 them. On to the 2nd.

 

[Chop]

Dang it. looks like he got Flores.

My Astros.com online video stopped and goofed up. What happened to Powell, Brown, and Flores?

 

[Chop]

Ump is giving Hurley some pretty low strike calls. This is good with Hurley’s dropping slider.

Now base hit TX ST

 

[Chop]

Woah. Near perfect bunt advances the runner and puts another runner on first. Hurley in a bit of a hole. No outs.

 

[aUTfan]

I'm going to tell you right now. If Texas is going to compete, Pitchers have got to work ahead. this crap with LBJ and now Hurley in the 2nd inning working from behind or getting ahead and then working all the way back to full count has got to change.

And as I typed that he was down 3-1 and has to work all the way back. Advantage hitter and he lines it into LF. This behavior is TROUBLE!!!!

 

[aUTfan]

1st pitch should always be a strike!!!!

 

[Chop]

What a slack *** pick off throw by Hurley. Runner advances to third…..

 

[aUTfan]

Wild pitch by Hurley now scores another run!!

 

[Chop]

Passed ball

Runner scores

Not Hurley’s day so far.

 

[aUTfan]

Pierce has some serious issues to address. Hurley and LBJ have a lot of work to do, they aren't any better than last year.

 

[Chop]

K

at last

 

[aUTfan]

Line drive to Flores, 2 outs.

 

[aUTfan]

(on a first pitch strike no less)

 

[Chop]

Nice grab Flores. Line drive. Two away.

 

[aUTfan]

Another first pitch strike to next batter and he fouls it off.

 

[aUTfan]

Passed ball this time by Schuessler and runner advances to 3rd. This team looks like Sam Houston not UT

 

[aUTfan]

and another 3-2 count by Hurley. Same issues as LBJ. Hurley isn't going to last 5 innings. and now walks him.
