Rice keeps getting the lead off guy on.

Thanks Worster.  Glad you're enjoying it.  Let me know if you would like anything different. 

 

[Matt Cotcher]

I'm a bit surprised that Skip let Duke come out for a third inning.

 

[joeywa]

B8

FR RHP Connor Mayes in for Texas

Pay attention here!

 

[utisdabomb12]

as good as this staff is, if I had to have 1 zero inning, I'm not sure I don't want Travis Duke on the bump

It seems like he gets in trouble a lot but he always finds a way to get out of it. 

 

[streettopeschel]

Thanks Worster. Glad you're enjoying it. Let me know if you would like anything different.

perhaps a 7th inning 'blast'

 

[utisdabomb12]

That's a huge out there with a freshman on the mound. 

 

[joeywa]

Skip comes to the bump to settle the freshman down.

 

[java]

If I had to have one zero inning and could pick any college pitcher, I would pick H Street. He had incredible poise.

 

[utisdabomb12]

The Freshman is a little jittery. 

 

[utisdabomb12]

They called him safe, what? 

 

[Worster1]

Thanks Worster.  Glad you're enjoying it.  Let me know if you would like anything different. 

Seriously great job.  Maybe comment from time to time if you can see / think a pitcher might be starting to get tired, a lot of activity in our bullpen or the competition or a lot of obvious emotion in the dugout by one team or the other, etc. ... that kind of thing would be interesting.

Hook 'Em!!
