BASEBALL WEEKEND SERIES THREAD: No. 19 Texas vs. BYU (Sat. 6:50 p.m. - Witt was awesome, but UT loses series-finale)

[streettopeschel]

I think we all saw this coming. 🤘

 

[jmb99000]

Damnation, we scored 6 already - in one game?

 

[DustinMcComas]

Couple quick outs for Gordon but man is his control all over the place. For a guy who is supposed to have that as a strength, this doesn't look right.

 

[DustinMcComas]

Deep fly out to the wall in RF... ball really carried that way. 6-4 Texas B3.

 

[Buddah318]

Where did these bats come from?

Only explanation is someone forgot them in Austin

 

[Big Bertha]

Witt is going to be a stud at the plate and on the mound.

 

[jmb99000]

Yeah, that dood was ALL over. Ball must be wet/ grip bad (I hope).

 

[DustinMcComas]

Witt gets hits first Texas hit by reaching out and pulling a liner through the left side.

Zubia hits a hard grounder up the middle to put runners on 1st and 2nd with no outs.

 

[DustinMcComas]

Hate seeing all this bunting junk... Campbell even showed it and pulled back with two strikes. WTF are we doing here? Just let the young guy settle in with two strikes and swing the bat.

 

[DustinMcComas]

Hate seeing guys showing and taking and not getting to attack. Either commit to the bunt, or commit to the swing like Hodo just did.

 

[DustinMcComas]

Campbell sac fly moves Witt to third, who barely beat the third, and Hodo's bunt makes it 7-4 with runners on first and second with one out. BYU going to the bullpen trailing 7-4 B3.

 

[DustinMcComas]

Antico flies out to LF. Kennedy flies out in the infield. 7-4 Texas T4.

 

[UTRULZ]

Damnit, I mistakenly thought I was on the OB baseball thread...must have clicked the wrong site.

 

[reuterrat]

9 hits through 3 innings seems good

 

[Buddah318]

So how many games do you have to play before the “but we havent seen enough live pitching” excuse goers away?

lol you should stick to your shitty basketball takes Eugene.

 

[DustinMcComas]

Gordon squeezed on a two-strike pitch that was clearly in the zone, and the next pitch is lined up the middle for a one-out single.

 

[DustinMcComas]

After a two-out walk put runners on first and second, a hard single down the LF line makes it 7-5 Texas and BYU has two RISP.

lol Two runs away from a football score

 

[DustinMcComas]

Texas asking for first base to be reviewed to see if the runner touched the bag.

 

[DustinMcComas]

After a failed review, Texas is bringing in Palmer Wenzel from the bullpen.

 

[benbrookhorn]

Is it still 7-5?

 

[Buddah318]

Is it still 7-5?

7-5 runners on 2nd and 3rd two outs, T4

 

[DustinMcComas]

He walks a batter to load the bases.

Strikeout to leave the bases loaded. Big pitch. 7-5 Texas B4.

 

[DustinMcComas]

Really good at-bat by Faltine - fouled a pitch straight back, pulled a liner just foul, and then lined a leadoff single into LF.

 

[DustinMcComas]

Cam Williams again... hammers a hard, sinking liner into RF to put runners on the corners with no outs.

 

[Dank Bank]

Cam Williams has been solid.

 

[DustinMcComas]

Ardoin puts a charge into one that's caught in RCF. Faltine easily tags and scores. 8-5 Texas B4.

 

[DustinMcComas]

Ouch. routine double play ball goes between the legs of the BYU second baseman. Runners on the corners with one out.

 

[Dank Bank]

Buckner's ghost weighing in on the action.

 

[DustinMcComas]

Zubia bounces into a 5-4-3 double play to end the inning. Texas gets one, but wastes a chance for at least one more. 8-5 T5.

 

[DustinMcComas]

Really impressive, quick turn at 2B by Campbell to make help turn that slow roller into an inning-ending 6-4-3. 8-5 Texas B5.

 

[Dank Bank]

Great job turning that double play.

 

[DustinMcComas]

Campbell crushed one that nearly went into the Occupy LF area, but it was foul. Then just missed a pitch and popped out. He's got some juice in the bat.

With two outs, Antico works a walk and immediately steals second.

 

[DustinMcComas]

Kennedy works himself into a good count, but flies out to CF to end the fifth. 8-5 Texas. Wenzel still on the mound.

Where did these bats come from?
