*****Texas Baseball Postseason - Games Thread***

LBJ works out of another bases loaded jam in bottom of second. Pitch count already over 40 and has been playing with fire. 3-0 Texas after 2, might be a night that the bats may have to carry. Keep the pressure on em 
Another questionable defensive decision as O'Dowd tried to get the runner at second on a bouncer up the middle. Seemed like he had a better shot at gathering his feet and firing a throw back to 1st. A tough play either way

 
Campbell with an infield single down the 3B line, a balk and then Garret G gets hit in the helmet. Stays down for a minute before hopping up livid. He seems good to go though and sprints down to 1st.

1st and 2nd no outs and Miami goes to the bullpen.

 
I think that was O dowd’s only option 
Might have been, the hitter didn't seem to be too far down the line at the time but O Dowd was moving 180 degrees away from first base at the time. If he has the arm, maybe he could have got it to first in time. 

 
Garret G pulled out of game. Porter Brown failed to get bunt down and hits into a Double Play

Hit and run and he lines it up the middle, diving catch by the 2nd basemen to easily double up Campbell. Rough way to have a rally halted.

I spoke too soon. Kennedy gets HBP to put 2 on again and Jalin Flores chops one up the middle to score the runner from second. 4-0 Texas

 
Texas adds 1 on hit by Flores. LBJ needs a quick inning, pitch count is already high

LBJ hasn't had the sharpest control so far. If he can control the pitches for strikes when he needs to, he can be very effective. Flirting with disaster so far because of walks.

 
Garret G back out to catch the bottom of 3rd. Good to see, he took a 90 mph fastball off side of his helmet 

 
Miami get s HR and it’s 4-1 Texas after 4 complete 
LBJ 1-2-3 after the HR. Two quick innings for him were definitely needed. With out bullpen being depleted by injury we need him to extend to 6 or 7 innings if possible.

 
A few quick innings by their relief pitcher as well. A lefty who is giving us some problems. I'd like to see him sub out soon.

 
They 6 complete Texas 4-1. LBJ has had several low pitch count innings but is now sitting at 92 pitches. Need him to get thru 7th before bullpen

40 pitches and 3 walks in the first 2 innings. 52 pitches with 0 walks in the next 4. He started locating pitches better and has put together a great inning.

I bet we see him start the 7th but likely with a pretty short leash.

 
Broadcast team showed an empty Texas bullpen so perhaps more of a leash than expected. I was thinking maybe 1 base runner and you make a move. 

Seems like they will give him at least a couple of runners before making a switch if needed.

 
7 complete 4-1. LBJ over 100 pitches, but had another quick inning. Did give up a single

 
Thru 8 complete Texas 4-1. LBJ gave up a triple that Porter Brown misplayed a little bit. But got out of it. 115 is pitch count, hard to see him coming out in the 9th. Clutch pitching for sure in a big stage. Close it down
