Game 3 - Texas at Oklahoma State (Recap added)

[Matt Cotcher]

Much better AB's in the 3rd, and it pays off with a ball that is dropped. Tough play, but Green normally makes that play.

Hard hit ball to the hole between 3B and SS; CJ dives to make the snag but his throw pulls Cantu just off the bag.

IF Single;

Bases loaded

Williams

1-0 down

2-0 down

2 RBI Single off the 1B umpire, who was in foul territory, and it bounces out to RF

Runners at 1&3; Home plate ump signaled fair; 1B ump was throwing his hands up in the air as he tried to leap out of the way.

Augie discussing with Blue, but it is not going to matter.  Over-ruled. 

And just like that when Texas catches the break on the missed diving catch the top of this inning, they turn around and don't get the call.

[Matt Cotcher]

Am I supposed to rag on Costello's parents or the announcers for pronouncing "Conor" as "con-ner"?

It seems like Cantu's swing & approach have changed a bit as he's moved up in the order. He earned a spot there because of his old approach...which is plenty good enough to be effective in the 5-6 hole.

Agreed.  He is opening himself up to a big dose of off-speed pitches.

Skip to the bump; Malmin done; New P is Mayes

 

[Matt Cotcher]

I'll be honest: I felt fairly confident at 4-2. One run (5-2) is a totally different ball game. 8-2 is Mount Kilimanjaro right now.

Lots of baseball to be played, but Texas needs a at least one run in the 5th & 6th. They cannot wait until the 8th and then try to get 3-4+.

OK, I thought this guy on 1300 broadcast on Friday was an okie.  He's an Okie St grad.  I know he's buddies with Craig Way, but I wonder why we are putting him in the booth this weekend to call the UT/Ok St game.  Weird.

Radio announcers are better than TV 9 times out of 10. After Friday night, I've intentionally listened to ESPNU.

 

[Matt Cotcher]

Down by 5, I can't believe Augie didn't go ballistic and get booted.

T6

Johnson

1-0

Line drive to RCF, CF stumbles and the ball goes all the way to the fence

Leadoff Triple

Tres

L4-2B dove and caught the ball, throw to 3B it's a DP; 3-5 for the DP

The ball bounced-one-hopped into a diving 2B's mitt.  Augie argues, but there's no break-again-for Texas.

Cantu

1-0

L9

Texas 2

OSU 8

Going B6

Horns cannot catch a stinking break.  Crew of 4 Blue and 8 eyes apparently cannot see shit.

These umps have been terrible.
