Horns Win Game One, Game Two Open Thread

Horns take game one 7-5 in a game that wasn't as close as the final score would indicate, until Nebraska threatened in the 9th. Game two start time should be around 6:05 and is allegedly on TV. Not sure how much updating we'll be able to do, but it'll be Brandon Workman on the mound looking for the series win.

Is Taylor Jungmann the most valuable player on the team right now?
On the cable guide it says that the game will start at 8

Does that mean it will be tape delayed, or maybe they just are not sure the exact start time.

The free video seems to be working as well...

if the alleged televising isn’t working or, like me, folks are stuck at work on a Friday.

Good start.

2-0 Horns in the first, still nobody out.

Texas gets first two runners on in 2nd, but the then pop up a bunt

1 out

Tucker walks

bases loaded, 1 out

Torres singles (4-0)

Runners double steal – men on second and third with 1 out still

I look away for a minute and I miss a double steal?
Groundout (5-0)
Keyes looks really uncomfortable with this pitcher
Keyes decides to swing at everything and strikes out
and...Keyes strikes out.

He was batting so much better in the earlier game.

why do they keep switching back in forth between "K" and "S" on the pitch-by-pitch???
S for Swing (as opposed to looking)
With a 5 run lead, I don't like a 4 pitch lead off walk

(not that I ever really like it)

Workman throwing a ton of balls this inning
He gets out of the jam. Still 5-0.
Rupp crushes it to right field

Second homer for him today (6-0)

Rupp!

Huge home run, 6-0 Horns.

Hit parade continues into the third

Clark gets a single

These guys on the Nebraska radio don't understand about the disch

“How does this guy not have more home runs?” Because the Disch is gigantic.

Although I like these anouncers

Although maybe that’s because the last game I was able to watch was Stanford

Yeah, they're good announcers.
The double "although" was probably not necessary
Loy shows off his warning track power
RBI tripple for Belt (7-0)

Or a double + error

Apparently it was a single + 2 base error
Yikes, this is getting ugly.

8-0 now.

Ugly... or beautiful?
Rowe with the RBI single up the middle

8-0 (1-out)

Flyout followed by a wild pitch

man on second, 2 down

Torres groundout mercifully ends the Longhorns half of the inning

8-0 after 2.5

And I'm going home - lets hold this lead
Another leadoff walk given up by Workman
Strike 'em out throw 'em out ends the inning
That's what I like to see...

Strike out/throw out to end the inning. Nice.

Tant continues the trend by getting a leadoff double
Keyes!! RBI double!
Another hit... I'm amazed...
grounder and sac fly make it 10-0
Deep sigh...

mmm…beatdown…wow.

ooo

ugly throw.

Yet not an error.
not an error, though.
Nebraska coming alive
31 balls - 35 strikes?

workman having an off day?…seems our defense has been pretty solid though.

He's struggled with his command since the 2nd inning.
Tough error from Torres, keeps the inning alive.
Sucks for Workman, he should have been out of the inning

but now it’s Shinaberry in. 2 outs in the bottom of the 4th, 10-2.

Wow! What a rough inning
And Shinaberry gives up a 3 run double

10 – 5.

Good lord

I’m going to want to forget this inning later.

That'll screw up your ERA. nt
not to mention what it's probably doing to shinaberry

straight out of the bullpen and throwing a 3 run dbl…painful

That's probably going to go on Workman's ERA.
Wow, Carrillo in. I don't even know who that is.
He did a nice job!
Carrillo quickly gets the K. Inning over.
finally, i feel like i need to take a shower after that one.
Phew

What’re kinda craziness you guys cooking up here?

we're nothing without you.

you left and then everything went to hell.

Why does the gametracker thing say the game is over?
5 run rule?
Heh, if only.
Now it's back.
Aggy scored 4 in the 8th to beat KSU in game one
Carrillo's got a lot of movement on his pitches.
whats happening...

The game track is all messed up

1 out single for Nebraska

McKirahan then gives up a four pitch walk

McKirahan can't find the strike zone

Two walks, loads the bases

Austin Dicharry coming in

10 pitches, 2 strikes

Unbelievable

It’s like our entire pitching staff just decided to go on vacation.

They can't handle the cold.
Two straight balls for Dicharry

Can we buy a strike?

How many pitchers do we have? We've used like two dozen.
Unbelivable

5pitchers-5 innings

Error on a DP ball

Got one out, 10-7

Maybe we should try underhanded.
Just a bad throw by Tucker
Weird how we can't throw strikes or field the ball in Nebraska.
Groundout to Torres ends it

Kinda lucky to have only given up two…
10-7 through 5

Yeah, it feels like we threw 8 walks and committed five errors...

so only two runs is pretty fortunate.

Tant grounds out

Keyes HBP

Keyes steals second

Rupp strikes out looking

RBI Single for Clark!

11-7!

We needed that

Pitch out gets clark at second

Still, big run there…if we can get some pitching from Dicharry here

Strike three looking!

One away

Strike three swinging

Two away

wow...there must be a lot of lag on my video.
And another K

Wow, Austin Dicharry—Hero

11-7 through 6
Ugh - I wanted this game to be over when I got home!
3 K's in a row, wow, thatll work
most def.

very refreshing. we just need to keep on it.

Loy singles to start the 7th

He’s starting to turn on the bat

its funny, as good as our pitching is, you would expect it, now its relief
Yea

If you’d told me neither Ruffin nor Workman would pitch five innings today I’d have said we’d lose both

Pretty bad AB by Connor

Strikes out on four pitches

Tucker pokes one to right

But the RF makes a nice play…11-7 good guys through 6.5

I’m out, you folks bring home a W :)

Horns win game 2, 11-7

Wow. That got way too exciting for a while. Oh well, I’ll take a double header sweep in Lincoln any time, no matter what form it takes. Texas goes for the series sweep tomorrow at 1.
