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

[BWilk55]

LBJ y'all. 2 quick outs in the 8th before a liner gets by a diving Porter Brown in left field. Runner stretched it to a triple but was dead to rights if Texas executed the relay.

LBJ bounces back getting a chopper back to the mound to complete the 8th frame, Texas up 4-1.

17 been big for Miami on the mound, he has kept them in this game

Dang it, no way can I watch the bottom of the 9th.

LBJ out for the 9th. See if he can close it out

No doubt. He has not been used in an extended role like this all year and he has been very effective. 9 Ks in 7 innings of shut out ball. All career highs for him

Bloop single on a 2 strike count. Some bullpen action now.

LBJ complete game win 

 

[texbound]

Okay, I watched it.  That was a herculean effort by LBJ.  Sad the bats went cold, that Miami pitcher had them confused.  Awesome win.

 

[NEOkHorn]

Huge performance by LBJ. All hands on deck to close out the regional. Hookem.

Be interesting to see Tanner Witt tomorrow. He has looked really good. Not sure if they push him past 60 pitches tomorrow. But he can give us 4 solid innings would be a big plus

The win today was so huge because tomorrow will be a brutal challenge for Miami. Game ended tonight at 11 pm Miami time. They have game 1 tomorrow at noon and if they win, gotta get right back out for the 2nd game of the double header. 

I don't think Texas could have gone the route of playing 5 games to advance - especially with the 3 recent pitching losses. Having used only 1 reliever in the first 2 games is more than I could have asked for. We probably have all arms available tomorrow except for LBJ and Gordon.

He's a gamer and will probably want to give us everything he's got. Importantly, the staff has to protect him to a degree and keep him from getting injured again. 4 or 5 innings if efficient would be great. 60-65 pitches probably the max.

Could be the Cajuns today.

Really shocked they let LBJ go 130 pitches. He was a DOG last night! But I never want to see a college guy throw over 120. 
 

Sad that Pierce felt he needed to since we have no one in the bullpen we really trust.

LBJ seemed comfortable and asked for the ball in the 9th. He said so in post game interviews. His complete game really sets Texas up for the Region Final game

I fully expect everyone to want the ball. I also full expect the HC to protect his pitcher.

Who gets the start for Texas tonight?

 

[UT1983]

Playing Miami again

Who gets the start for Texas tonight?

Tanner Witt is my guess

Pretty efficient first inning for Witt. 12 pitches and Horns coming to bat
