Against Manoah...good luck with that!!

 

[joeywa]

Horns have had success against guys that throw hard this year.  It's the guys that throw a lot of offspeed and breaking pitches where they've struggled.

T1

Elder gets a 1-2-3 frame with 2 K's

Scoreless headed B1

 

[starrx2]

WVU has a bunch of guys that throw hard...Manoah has a killer slider to go with it and he does not walk batters.

WVU has a bunch of guys that throw hard...Manoah has a killer slider to go with it and he does not walk batters.

Not saying he's bad.  He's the #7 best player on the board by some analysts.  I'm saying Texas has had success this season against guys like him.

Elder works another 1-2-3 frame with another K

Scoreless headed to B2

You never go back and tag up when there is already one out. Piss poor fundamentals on our part.

 

[Bear19]

And Pierce is Third base coach. He should’ve been telling him what to do.
