How does a pitcher reach this level without a coach adjusting that somewhat?

 

[streettopeschel]

E1. There's our opening.

 

[streettopeschel]

What a bad AB

 

[streettopeschel]

That was f##king brutal. Second/third, nobody out. We can't even get a foul ball. Tech was conceding the run!

 

[joeywa]

New P is LHP Patterson

He has a screwy delivery/windup

B7

Kody PH for Cantu Single thru the left side

Shaw SAC and E1 moves runners to 2&3 as P tosses it over the head of 2B who was covering 1B

Jones KS

Hamilton KS

Kacy KS

3 straight Ks against a funky delivery guy leaves 2 stranded in scoring position

Horns trail 2-1 thru 7

McCann in for Cantu

Was I the only one thinking a bunt up the 1st base line w/men on 3rd & 2nd w/no outs? The 1st baseman was playing back, the pitcher just screwed the pooch by throwing a ball into RF so that would be in his head. So what do we do? Go up and look at strikes. Did Coach Gus sneak into the dugout that inning? Good gracious, that was just turrible!

T8

Gardner F8

Hargrove F8

Berglund 6-3

1-2-3 on 5 pitches

Down 2-1, Texas needs to push one across, headed B8

 

[joeywa]

B8

Todd Bloop single into RF

Boswell KS on 4 pitches.  He was all screwed up in that AB

This P is really messing with our hitters

Reynolds lifts the 0-2 pitch to CF; 2 outs

McKenzie 4-pitch walk; Schimpf to PR

McCann 1-0 count, and Tadlock calls to the pen for RHP Quazada

 

[joeywa]

That was f##king brutal. Second/third, nobody out. We can't even get a foul ball. Tech was conceding the run!

I've never been so happy to see a pitching change. 

 

[tejasrulz]

I need a beer. I haven't cussed that much since football season. Glad the wife isn't home to hear me. 

 

[joeywa]

B8 cont

2 outs

Runners on 1&2

McCann Grounds out to 3B

Tha'ts 9 LOB today. 

Horns trail 2-1 with 8 in the books

 

[streettopeschel]

I've never been so happy to see a pitching change.

yes, lefty Luis Tiant was awkward but both Jones and Kacy WATCHED 2-strikes each and Hamilton one. Maddening.

 

[joeywa]

T9

Garcia Works full count; 4-3 ground out

Koelzer KS

Beck 4-3

Horns bullpen has been fantastic these last two games.

Horns trail 2-1 headed B9

[streettopeschel]

It's the Stanford series all over again. Can't get the one big hit.

Bottom 7 is gonna bug me all night.

 

[Johnstark23]

Right now Tadlock is calling up South plains little league to try and find another soft toss left hander.

 

[joeywa]

How does a pitcher reach this level without a coach adjusting that somewhat?

It works for him.  He had every one of our hitters swinging at air or watching pipe pitches. 

 

[Bear19]

We are seriously lacking in talent at the plate.
