[utisdabomb12]

Great effort from the pitching staff. Bats have to produce something. 

 

[MBHORNSFAN]

12 innings and no runs. Very poor. I just don't understand how this is a problem year after year.

FINAL BOOK

Texas 0/5/2

Stanford 1/4/0

WP: Viall

LP: Malmin

Thanks for joining us.  We'll be back tomorrow at 6:30 for Game 2 of this four game series.

Great effort from the pitching staff. Bats have to produce something.

Doesn't seem that we have anyone coming to the plate where the opposing pitcher thinks to himself "I'm going to pitch around this guy."

 

[joeywa]

12 innings and no runs. Very poor. I just don't understand how this is a problem year after year. 

You do realize we put up 18 runs last weekend, right? 

This Stanford staff is SALTY.  From my preview:

Notes on Stanford pitching:

• The Stanford starters combined allowed one earned run in their 3 victories. This included 10 hits, one walk and 8 strikeouts. Each starter in their 3 wins pitched 6+ innings and allowed 1 run or less.
• The Stanford bullpen has been better than solid, allowing one run in 11.2 innings, with 3 walks and 13 strikeouts.

They got one, we got none.  It happens.  I think our pitchers did very well.  We outhit Stanford 5-4; and it was an error and a walk that did us in tonight. 

 

[pringlelake]

Pitchers gave up four hits in 12 innings and we still can't win. Disappointing.
