Texas vs TCU Game 2 (recap & post-game added)

[joeywa]

Nice AB by CJ.  He was patient, and hit the ball where it was pitched. 

 

[Matt Cotcher]

Sometimes it's about where you hit them, not how hard you hit them. 2 in a row, and it's 1-1. 

That's a big run for Culbreth's sake.

 

[utisdabomb12]

Barrera has to do better there. 

 

[joeywa]

T3 (cont) Runners on 1&3; 1 out; TCU pen is shuffling around a bit

Tres

0-1 take

1-1 down/in

1-2 fouled away right

I wouldn't be surprised to see a Texas hitter go yard to RF the way Alexander's pitches come in.

KS; 2 outs

Also not sure why you're not stealing CJ there; esp with the way that the P is throwing so many off-speed pitches.

Cantu

1-0 up/away

1-1 takes a breaking ball

5-3;

2 LOB

Texas evens things up.

Texas 1

TCU 1

Going B3

 

[Matt Cotcher]

The font TCU uses for the numbers on the back of their jersey is terrible.

The font TCU uses for the numbers on the back of their jersey is terrible.

Yeah, looks a bit Mickey Mouse.

 

[utisdabomb12]

TCU with some of the softest hits I've ever seen. 

 

[utisdabomb12]

TCU is finding holes but we need to make a few of these plays. 

 

[Matt Cotcher]

What is Schlossnagle teaching them up there? That was the worst slide I've seen since coaching little league.

Texas 1

TCU 2

Runner at 2B slid into the bag weird.  Replay appeared like he tried to do a pop-up slide and caught his toe under the base and flipped backwards.

He's staying in the game

Yeah, looks a bit Mickey Mouse.

The "brilliant" designer behind these beauties obviously liked the font so much, they expanded usage.

DEEP BALL-HOME RUN OVER RF WALL

Game tied at 2

 

[utisdabomb12]

Marlow!

 

[Matt Cotcher]

I hope the dugout took note of Marlow's swing - nice, easy, relaxed & fluid.

Pretty much the exact opposite of what happens when they try to hit a homerun.
