Choplick? Seriously?

 

[utisdabomb12]

Good start for Texas. This pitcher has a 3.6 ERA and batters have a .270 average against him. He throws strikes but you can get some hits against him. 

 

[joeywa]

If Texas can be patient and get some balls up, they'll get a LOT of big hits today with this wind.

Good job there by Peters. Only giving up one run with bases loaded and nobody out, was a huge save.

Johnson needs to cut down on some of those base running mistakes. Granted, I can't see the game so maybe it was a good pickoff move. 

 

[joeywa]

Neal works count full, draws the walk.

Aikin bunts it towards Marlow, and he dives, but the toss isn't in time.  Single
