UTRGV game - crash and burn

[Chop]

For your 7th Inning Stretch Entertainment tonight.

 

[Chop]

Borba with a single.

 

[FWHORN]

Texas baseball this year has been just repeated kicks in the nuts, and like masochists we just keep coming back for more in the hope that complete anomalies like that ninth inning Sunday in Houston will somehow magically transform this team from a mediocre assembly of underachievers to a team that can actually compete and deserve to wear the name Texas on their jersies.

 

[aUTfan]

What's at issue here is that all the points minus 1 or 2 has been scored against our top relief pitchers......14 runs! That's horrendous and against a team we should dominate.

 

[aUTfan]

WP scores another, 17-7 them.

 

[aUTfan]

End of the top 8th.

 

[George Bailey]

The LHN crawl just said that a Florida kid hit a 500' homer tonight, FU estimates it at 517'. So our pitchers have got that to look forward to next year.

I'm certain we have a pitcher that can probably beat that distance.

 

[LHABSOB]

Hmmmmm.... does this mean we aren't the best program in the state of Texas??

 

[RS]

I'm certain we have a pitcher that can probably beat that distance.

I will put money on that too.

 

[George Bailey]

ACU just beat TCU 8-3. Meaning the cockroaches sweep us this weekend...

 

[aUTfan]

TCU is about as screwed up as we are, they started hot and now I'm not sure they aren't as bad as we are.

 

[WorsterMan]

Frogs fizzled, but I suspect they will rally this weekend and take 2 of 3 from the Horns.

 

[WorsterMan]

T9th

17-7 UTRGV...

Pierce?

 

[Vol Horn 4 Life]

Shaw was our 10th pitcher....10 pitchers needed to give up 17 runs.

 

[aUTfan]

and we've thrown 253 pitches in one game.

 

[aUTfan]

Got them right where we want them:

Them - 2 TD's & field goal =17
US - 1 TD = 7

4th qtr.

 

[WorsterMan]

We go to B 9th, down 17-7...
Horns need a TD, PAT and FG to tie and take this to extra innings!!!

 

[Chop]

I can't remember our last 10 run rally.

 

[Chop]

Leadoff grounder

E. Nik Sanders takes 2nd.

Another E. Nik Sanders takes 3rd!!!!!!!

 

[txhorn_et]

Bottom of 9…we’re coming back!!!
But for some reason, I don’t think so.

 

[Vol Horn 4 Life]

Finally! The only inning UTRGV didn't score was the 9th!! A big Ole goose egg!

 

[WorsterMan]

UTRGV has not beaten Daddy UT in baseball since 1968. When I was a tender 15 years old!

 

[aUTfan]

hahahaha....and to make it look much worse, UTRGV makes 2 errors on what should be a routine ground ball OUT. Sanders ends up on 3rd out of those errors.

And this team is beating us bad.

 

[WorsterMan]

Leadoff grounder

E. Nik Sanders takes 2nd.

Another E. Nik Sanders takes 3rd!!!!!!!

Beginning of the 10 run rally!!!

 

[aUTfan]

ha, another error, we scored 1. only need 9 more with 1 out left.

 

[aUTfan]

good grief. Both these coaches are going to resign after this game.

Routine ground ball loads the bases. 2nd baseman tried to go to 2nd but no one was covering, should have gone to 1st to end the game. Still alive!

 

[aUTfan]

Farmer walks, scores another run. 17-9.

Same here.

 

[aUTfan]

Ballgame. O'Dowd flies out.
