B6

Horns retired 1-2-3, lead 4-0

I got to watch Tuesday and tonight. You can’t help but notice him. Always making plays. Hamilton was the same way. Demands your attention. 

I would agree with that.  Not a bad trait to have on your team.

T7

Elder gives up a single, but gets Ks 10 & 11

That will probably be the last frame for Elder, Horns lead 4-0 headed B7

B7

Horns go in order.  Ellis got absolutely robbed of an XBH on a high liner over SS, who made a great leaping grab.

Horns up 4-0 headed to the 8th

Has Fields pitched this year?

 

[joeywa]

Has Fields pitched this year?

yes, didn't look good

 

[joeywa]

T8 Horns go to Merryman, who throws 9 pitches, all strikes, strikes out 2 and gets a ground out.

Horns up 4-0 headed B8

 

[joeywa]

Horns put up 3 in B8, lead 7-0 headed to the 9th

 

[HORNfromETX]

yes, didn't look good

Oh gotcha, makes sense.

 

[joeywa]

Southard closes it out and gets 3 Ks in the 9th.  Horns win 7-0

 

[Oldmanastro]

I like it. No errors.

 

[joeywa]

I like it. No errors.

I did too. Not a fan of 11 Ks for Texas hitters, but the younger guys are pressing a bit.

Surprised we haven't seen Ford at 2B yet, he had a solid year last year.

I think the staff thinks they have better options at the present time.  Things can change as the season wears on, but you're seeing some of the FR get some reps early on to see how they handle it.  So far, so good. 

 

[joeywa]

And we're underway.  Madden on the bump

 

[joeywa]

Madden works a 12-pitch 1-2-3 T1

Scoreless headed B1

 

[joeywa]

Horns get a 1-out RBI single from Zubia to take a 1-0 lead thru 1 complete

 

[joeywa]

Another 1-2-3 frame for Madden in T2; Horns up 1-0

B2

Horns go in order; lead 1-0
