[Update:] The bats weren't working again but solid enough pitching and a number of Texas A&M mistakes gave the Horns enough scoring to take a 5-4 victory. We think that should just about seal a top eight national seed, and one more OU loss -- losing 5-1 in the 7th -- (either today to OSU or next week to Texas A&M) would seal the conference title for Texas. Regardless, the Horns have come a long way from last season and are now 17-4-1 in the last 22 games.
Aggy starter Ross Hales was absolutely brilliant in a 3-0 victory in Austin. That pretty much sums up the game. Cole Green was alright and Brandon Workman was nearly perfect in long relief, but Texas' offense just couldn't get anything going. There are days like that in baseball, time to move on.
There is good news, though. Texas still holds a 1 game lead over Texas A&M and a victory today would eliminate them from the conference crown. In addition, KSU lost again at home to Tech, so a Texas victory today would nearly seal the deal, pending one Oklahoma loss (OSU today, Aggy next week). This time it's Texas' turn to have a freshman phenom on the mound in Taylor Jungmann. Austin Wood and Dicharry should be available to pitch in the later innings. It's a 2 o'clock start since there are no flights to catch this time and it'll be broadcast by a Fox College Sports, whatever that is.

Here's how Texas wins the conference:
Win today: 1 OU loss in the next 4
Lose today: KSU lose 1 of the next 4, A&M lose 2 of 3 to OU, OU loses to OSU then wins 2 of 3 against Aggy

Mouth calls it "another terrible call!" at first.

The camera clearly showed it wasn't a clear out
Just a small chance that the ump had a better view

read that again
deep
amorphous - May 10, 2009
I know what I said :-)
40AS - May 10, 2009
Mouth's convincing evidence was
that Anders immediately turned for the dugout, like he knew he had the out. He wouldn’t do that otherwise = aggy honor code and all.
horndude - May 10, 2009
hey
they have an EMAIL from someone who saw a REPLAY on tv!!!!!!
amorphous - May 10, 2009
Anders had no fewer than five body parts on the bag

It's like a midget wrestling match:
you know you shouldn’t watch, but it’s just too hilarious not to:
Texaggy misery
And if I have to listen to Dave South doing PBP, I might as well go for total immersion. Now he says the aggy television crew is calling the play at first inconclusive.

how has jungmann looked?
he’s not being given much attention on the aTm feed (shocking, I know).
amorphous - May 10, 2009
Aggies have threatened in each inning but he's been able to work through it
His pitch count is high, doubt he goes more than 5 or 6 innings
40AS - May 10, 2009
that's good
i’d rather him need to work than cruise through. he’ll be better game-tested.
amorphous - May 10, 2009
although, to clarify
i’d rather him be able to get through 6 or 7 than just 5 or 6,
amorphous - May 10, 2009
agreed.
But we have the luxury of a rested bullpen today since Workman was able to finish yesterdays game off.
6th street - May 10, 2009
workman was great
gave us a chance, all we could have asked for
amorphous - May 10, 2009
Gametracker
shows he hasnt been missing many bats. Only 1 K so far today. But he’s been good all season at battling through innings where he gets himself in trouble and minimizing damage. 5 solid innngs should be sufficient today to get us to Dicharry/Wood to close it out.
6th street - May 10, 2009
The 4th was a quick inning
Should be good to go for two relatively quick innings
40AS - May 10, 2009
sure. 6 would be great
but with a 5-0 lead already, Id be happy with 5 solid scoreless innings out of the freshman.
6th street - May 10, 2009
If Workman can take over Jungmann's long relief role we'll be golden
40AS - May 10, 2009
I see no reason why that isnt a reasonable expectation.
He was nothing short of spectacular once he settled in yesterday.
6th street - May 10, 2009
agreed
especially if dicharry or thomas or even carrillo could get us a couple of outs here and there if necessary when we get to regionals KNOCK ON WOOD
amorphous - May 10, 2009
Thomas' work in the midweek games could prove important in June
40AS - May 10, 2009
oooooooohhhh
here’s what i’m thinking: brandon belt makes his triumphant return to the mound leading texas to a cws championship. yeah, awesome.
amorphous - May 10, 2009
Haha
Wouldn’t be shocked to see him pitch in the big xii tourney, didn’t David Maroul pitch 5 or 6 years ago when we were short on pitchers and not needing to win?
40AS - May 10, 2009
Groundout to Tucker
1 out
40AS - May 10, 2009
dumb aggie fans
are calling the radio station asking why there is no tv feed. incredible.
and they are still going over emails they are receiving about the call in the 1st.

Fantastic 6-4-3 DP ends the inning
40AS - May 10, 2009
Error on a grouner to SS
Then the SS turns around casually, Rowe advances to second
40AS - May 10, 2009
Obviously the ump's fault
along with their other two errors and the HBP.

Bases loaded, nobody out…another ball that wasn’t hit hard just blooped into center
40AS - May 10, 2009
Colligan up, this scares me
40AS - May 10, 2009
he's just as prone to strikeout as he is to crush one to center.....

Yea, so it is
Apparently guy didn’t advance to second on the play
40AS - May 10, 2009
And Dicharry in for Jungmann.
things came a little unraveled for Taylor there. It didnt look good from the start. He wasnt missing as many bats as he had been in his previous outings. It was only a matter of time before the balls started finding holes.
6th street - May 10, 2009

40AS - May 10, 2009
What do you think we can expect from Dicharry?
Can he give us 3 innings? Or should we expect 2, with Wood pitching the final 3?
6th street - May 10, 2009
I bet he can give us 3
Hopefully the 6th and 1 or 2 of the 7th

way to battle today boys.
raced out to an early lead, and the bullpen held in there long enough to keep it together.
not the prettiest of victories, but in the end, a win is a win. 2 of 3 from the aggies, in a series where our bats didnt hardly come alive and our pitching wasnt as spectacular as it has been….Ill take it.
I dont see any way we dont end up with a top 8 national seed.
6th street - May 10, 2009
huzzah!
here’s to a good big 12 regular season, no matter how it finishes. we have the pitching and defense that can match with anyone in the postseason. just need to get the offense to be timely.
