Nice caption
Just got that

I’m an idiot savante

TTTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEXXXXXXXXXXXXASSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEXXXXXXXXXXXXASSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!
0-0

Here we go!

Why did we go away from small ball?
Only explanations are:

Augie was pressing his luck
Clark is one of the team’s weaker bunters

Probably the former

Really hurts that we couldn't get a lead there

But I like our pen better than theirs.

It is worth noting

that Texas is undefeated (40-0-1) when leading after 6 innings.

On pace for a 5 hour game

Hope you aren’t working tomorrow

Not me..Im off till Friday :)
I should have planned better

7:30 AM

5:30 AM glad it started at 6ish

Great inning Jungman!

7:00 am

hung over again… the price to pay.

Grounder to Loy 1 down
let's go D....FOCUS!!!

no sunlight excuse….let’s make an error free inning.

FFFFFFFFFIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good Defense!
Fly to center 2 down
someone say 3
Strasburg will get $20 mil max

That’s breaking the bank for a #1 pick

What college player is proven in the Pros?
a whole lot.

Braun, Berkman, Lincecum, Pedroia, Ellsbury to name a couple.

I think the point is

That no college player (with the exception of possibly Huston Street) is capable of coming to the pros and playing right away based on their college experience.

Almost forgotten what a 1-2-3 inning looked like
Jungmann gets the K to end it
I like those quick innings!
Quick inning

great

we should be dominating this game, that 1st inning screwed us, left 2 runners on base...after having 0 outs
Main thing is were in this game....
Jungmann

At least two more years are Texas, right?

Yea

He won’t be a draft eligible sophomore

Hook'em!

Jungmann is playing his TCU magic again!

but all of us will be going pro in something other than sports

nobody will care about you then. Wait, nobody cares about you now because you play soccer. STOP SHOWING THAT COMMERCIAL!!!!!

I am so glad Im not watching on 360 tonight

I got so sick of that Visigoth U commercial

It is SO LOUD
if not that stupid referee gave us the red card...

we may tie or even able to beat Italy mafia team yesterday

quit hating on soccer, the worlds most beatiful sport.
more hatting the commerical
Maybe we could get belt to take the penalty kick
Cricket

more beautiful

20/20

more beautiful… faster.

beach volleyball

SEC gymnastics, Arizona softball

2-1 to Tucker
Tucker singles to center
is it just me, or does the strike zone seem a little low...

?

Tucker singles up the middle. 1 on no outs
Another leadoff single

C’mon Belt! More redemption!

and we never bunt belt...
There is a first for everything!!
Hyperspeed Giraffe baby
damn belt bunts foul
i will take as many as bunt i can get...
Sacrifice moves runner to second
Just barely got Belt

C’mon Moldy!

Drops it down!

Good bunt

Almost

beat the throw

we should do that on the last inning, man
brandon is a nice guy, not cocky at all...group partners last year for some weak ass leadership class
Cool

He seems like a good guy

now michale griffin, cocky ass bastard...still cool to have had him in class
and of course having, VY in a class, prior to the 2005 season...gotta brag about that one...
Favorite meeting a UT ballplayer while in college story

Was breaking the news to Huston Street at Cain and Able’s that Ken Macha had been fired from the A’s, he’s a great guy

Tant PHing
Why PH for Moldy in the 6th?
righty lefty
ahh ok makes sense
Anyone else think he has balked a few times?
yes.
Glad its not just me

When you do that turn don’t you have to finish on the second base side of the rubber?

gonna walk him
at least twice.
Tant walk 2 on 1 down
don't chase it...

take a walk or bunt

Ball 4

sweet

Big hit coming from Keyes
C'mon KK

You know you want to go yard

damn keyes pops up to first
keyes is pissing me off
Must have been a breaking ball
He did start the rally off with a single in the 4th
one thing i'm worrying about him is he likes to chase it
he wasnt GREAT, prior to the post season
he needs to learn to be good batter with patience
He was streaky

He has gone weeks at a time hot as hell only to cool off. That he’s hitting over .300 despite being at like .220 through the first month in the season is testament to how he has developed through the year…can you tell I’m a big Kevin Keyes believer?

if he's willing to take a bunt.....

i’m sure we can get at least one score of the previous inning.

We've now had runners at 1st and 2nd with 1 out or less in 5 of 6 innings
man this pitcher must love starting the down in the count

2-0

foul ball brings the count full
He got his pitch!

Just missed it

Gotta make something happen here.

ASU wants no part of Jungmann.

Lambson reminds me of

Barry Zito, did they say that already? Have been working the past 20 minutes or so…

Loy hits slow roller to pitcher. Inning over score still tied at 6
couldve used that bunt last inning
He should have swung at the 2-0 pitch
So frustrating. We are leaving the door open big time.
dang....yet, wasted another opportunity to score with 2 men on the base

Keyes will never take a bunt…

Not sure why Keyes should've bunted with 2 outs
that's xactly what i've said earlier...
Keyes didn't bunt

He popped out…Belt bunted with no outs…I’m confused

there was only 1 out

but i agree, he should have been swinging away…

with 0 or 1 out & 2 men on the base,,,, no bunt?
Mmm nice to see we can have an off night and still be in it against the 2nd best pitcher
We have to get the energy back up again.

Can’t fall asleep now

Fly out to center 1 down
c'mon D....let's keep it up!
K for Jungmann 2 down
He throws

so hard, doesnt seem to be that fast but really hard and heavy…

wow...Erin's fav movie is Miracle?
I knew there had to be a reason to dislike her.
i'm already over it.

i like her again.

Besides her phoniness?
what phoniness? her boobs?
Yo amor Jungmann
Line to left 1 on 2 out
Gotta have an out here
Yea

Need to keep momentum

we break this game open next inning!!!
c'mon J.... let's end this inning...
Let's talk about movies

since there’s such a sucky game going on.

We better get someone up
Rudy walks on 4 pitches
Do they ever talk about baseball?
Not unless Leake is on the mound
YYYYESSSSSSSSSS TOLD YA'LLL!!!!....AGAIN!!!!!!! I HAVE THIS NATURAL GAME CALLING ABILITY
I have no problem with walking Ruettiger.

He’s a pretty fantastic hitter.

Throw Strikes and let your defense help you out
I'm glad that I've Craig Way on...
Now I will

mute the video and listen to Craig. Enough is enough.

What was I thinking?

drinking?

Craig is only a couple of seconds ahead of TV

Not too bad.

Pop out to left ends the inning
how many K's Jungmann has so far?
3 i think
no...it should be more than that, man
Gametracker says 3
k...thks....alcohol effect......
Huge fly out
Taylor is closing in on 40 pitches

Wonder what Wood has in the tank. I’d like to get 1 more inning from Jungmann.

Taylor threw...17 on Sunday?

Hopefully we can get some run support here

I would like to get 2 runs and see Jung close this mother out
Didn't realize Tucker was 3-for-3.
RUPPPPPPP with a solo shot
RUPP GOES YARD
Rupp HR again!
Whoever called Rupp for HR...great call, guys!
YYYYESSSSSSSSSS TOLD YA'LLL!!!!....AGAIN!!!!!!! I HAVE THIS NATURAL GAME CALLING ABILITY
YYYYESSSSSSSSSS TOLD YA'LLL!!!!....AGAIN!!!!!!! I HAVE THIS NATURAL GAME CALLING ABILITY
NICE!

Liked that right when he hit it.

WWWEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111
HOOK'EMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!
Too bad he wasn't up when we had those men on
Single to center 1 on 0 outs
WOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!!
Single for clarke to CF
Texas is hitting the ball great!
down 6-0 though

up 7-6 we’ll take it right?
\

I'm smelling 40AS will have a hell of good report to write coming..
Might just be a lightly edited version of AO and my text conversation
lightly?
There have been a lot of f-bombs, especially in the early going
lol.........
What the hell
Picked off!!!

Dang it!

shouldve run for him anyway.
Damn

Can’t have the mental mistakes now. Not with a lead I’ve been waiting for for 3 hours.

pick off first 0 on 1 out
I was wondering why you were ahead

Had rewinded to rewatch the homer…awesome. Then picked off, not awesome

haha damn DVR

Is that not a balk?

ITs really really close!!
second strike was a reach across until tomorrow
im driving to the corner store after this game, playing the lotto for tomorrow drawing
Save all your luck for this game.

To hell with personal gain.

Unless I get a cut, of course…

oh, its been called already....we win for sure
2-2 to torres 2 down
TTTTTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEXXXXXXXAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!
FFFFFFIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
someone said Zito earlier

but to me, he is a splitting image of Brian Fuentes.

Torres strikes out ends the inning
ESPN 360

1300 AM feed and BON board…

all at different speeds…

very confusing for my beer influenced mind!

just watch 360 dude
3 down but up by one run
Ohio Horn / HornPossessd

good call on Rupp HR!

will Keyes have one tonight?
it looks like the Tigers need some pitching staff...

down by 9

Gotta hold 'em

2-0 and 2 days off are looking really good right now.

Losers play

Thursday at 7…?

yea i think so...get UNC
are we going to play against the Hogs if we win tonight?
no Hogs are in the other bracket
No.

We would play winner of ASU/UNC, and they’d have to beat us twice. We couldn’t play Arky unless we both got to the final.

Getting ahead of ourselves here :-)
Maitland in for Clark

Why the hell didn’t we pinch run for him last inning then?

HAHA

I just refreshed the box score on ESPN and it shows -3 runs in the top of the 7th. Didnt know that could happen…weird night.

Backwards K for Jungmann 1 down
keep going J.....you're doing good man,...
Giraffe makes a great stop
What a play by belt at first. two down
ALL YOUR LEADS ARE BELONG TO US
like your TCU magic, Jungmann!
It finally occurs to announcers to discuss Jungmann's pro prospects

Compare him to Ben Sheets and Mark Prior.

3-0

c’mon Taylor!

c'mon J... u can do it....let's end this damn inning....
3-2 count full
excellent pitch! WOOOOOOOOWWWWW
C'mon Taylor!
strike 3 ends the inning
what can i say!
Taylor is on fire tonight.

He actually has the ESPN commentators on our side!

see that, defense all over that inning!!! gret job horns!
Looks like Texas baseball again eh
Jungs inning with a little help from belt
52 pitches for Jungmann

43 for the ASU closer.

Plus 42 on Friday for ASU closer

17 for Jungmann

Jugnman first pick of 2011?!?!

My wife gave up trying to talk to me while the game was on and went to bed...

I will pay for this later. :)

Life Story... Just plan a night the Longhorns don't play..
Hopefully one of the next 2 nights
dont worry father's day is coming if u r a dad.....she may give u some slack...
only if our gfs/wives could read all this, i mean they can but, lol u know what i mean
My gf is on the couch watching.

UT grad and she loves baseball. She’s unsure about my desire to watch and follow BON simultaneously, however.

lol, i do it every now and then, when the horns play away games in football....full blown apt party, and my macbook is open for my comments
I can't complain my wife is very understanding

I told her up front when we first started dating what she was in for

Before game

said I wouldn’t watch so we could watch what she wanted. Changed my mind… glad I did. Will deal with it.

what, thats insane? how can u propose to not watch?
Insanity

obviously.

Tucker, Belt, and Shepherd up
Maitland in for Tant
Maitland went in for Clark

Shepherd is in for Moldy

I still Can't get past the name of Tant... Mom have a lisp? or a mouthful?

Check that

Not sure where Maitland fits in

Neither did his mom... sorry

now, let's capitalize what our D has gave us...

take the bunt whenever u can and just put some scores on the board to increase the lead…

Given. sorry English Major
lol...do we need to?
Walk 1 on 0 outs
Lead runner on!
Belt is up. Bunt?
back to that conundrum about bunting with belt
Leadoff walk

Leadoff man on, again…interesting to see what Belt does…a single run would mean a lot, but Belt could put ASU in a real tough bind

we have the BEST PITCHER RIGHT NOW
BUNT!!!!!!>>>>>>>.......

Looks like he will be buntings
err knock off the s
Moves the runner to second on a sacrifice bunt
Great bunt

Fantastic play by the pitcher…gotta applaud the effort

yup. close to being 2 on 0 outs
Belts bunt moves the runner to second 1 down
Where was that in the 1st???

Keyes has any HR tonight?
no Rupp has 2
dang....that means he will chase it....
Not until this inning (please)
My bad I was too quick with the answer. yes he will have a HR by the end of the game :)
Blair in to pitch
Now that AO and I have decided our wrap up will be our text conversation

We’ve begun saying big, philosophical things

Cameron Rupp's 2 HRs

The game changing performance…shocker

Hard thrower vs hard hitter

I like our chances here

Should have played Augie's speech
This just in

Augie knows what he’s doing

You don't say
Seriously

all these bunting statistics people want to throw out. Shove ’em up your ass. YOUR ASS.

Tant up with runner on second and 1 down
Kevin Lusson batting
Is it lusson?
lusson for tant. walks
Walk to whoever the hell is at the plate :)
1st and 2nd, 1 away

C’mon Kevin! Time to be a hero!

Keyes up (I know this for sure)
get that beer glass filled!
nice rip...just straighten it out
keyes will come through...its time
0-2 to Keyes

That hasn’t ended well often

Keyes owes us
Not so sure...After some of the things we were saying when it was 6-0...
Don't swing wildly at everything?
Sorry

I mean DO swing away…

YYYYESSSS!!!!!!!!
Kevin effing Keyes
Keyes

He’s just a doub machine.

YES. double for keyes and one run scores
Keyes doubles 1 run in 8-6
IM ONNNNN FYAAAAAAAA.....AND YES IM TAKING CREDIT FOR IT
Alright

I wish we scored 2 though.

Keyes are in the car....Drive that bitch to the win
2nd and 3rd, 1 away

Let’s add two!

Is it just me, or does Kevin Keyes look like a miss of John Chiles and Carlton from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air?
It would be funny as hell to see him do that dance
"Couple of Lussons in scoring position"
time for another round of Beam
When was the last time brothers scored back to back?
Time for Loy's 1st career homer?
he is reaching.
niiiiiiiiice
On an 0-2 pitch!

WOO!

10-6 with 10 unanswered
NICE

I can’t believe we have just scored 10 runs on ASU.

Wow

That looks much more like Texas baseball

AS40

seriously, how r u going to write your game summary tonight?

AO's writing it in the morning

This has been the most incredible 180 degree turnaround in emotion, from true despair to utter joy…I’m still kinda in shock

question, why are u throwing guns up on ur avatar? or whatever it is?
It's a long story

A buddy of ours was the LSU homecoming king…he brought his sash to a new years party, somehow I got a hold of it and we took a picture putting our L’s up (for LSU of course).

homecoming, lol. yah wasnt sure if it was lsu or tech...
NASTY NASTY COMEBACK!!!!!! ITS PRETTY NASTY!

NASTY NASTY COMEBACK!!!!!! ITS PRETTY NASTY!

10 unanswered with the best pitcher in the tournament on the mound

This is unreal

I need another beer for the last two outs...
Just one?

Go for borderline alcohol poisoning tonight! Luck is with us all tonight.

Have a privacy fence to replace in the morning. Need to be able to walk :)
Texas vs LSU!!

Am I getting ahead of myself?

What a matchup that would be…………really want to see those two teams go at it.

It happened earlier in the year.

Good outcome for us if I’m remembering correctly…

Or I’m drunk and imagining things.

thats the championship right there man. all along.
Be honest

How many of you thought Leake vs. Ruffin would be a 10-6 game in it’s 4th hour?

I sure as hell didn’t.

I thought 3-1 in a 2 1/2 hour game
Technically still the 3rd hour I suppose
Everyone always talks about the "it" factor

This team has it! Like they were saying, Augie has the magical touch.

There is just something purely magical about this team. It makes it really really fun to watch. This really reminds me of the 2002 team and how they just win and come up with what they need.

It really is incredible

After the last 3 years, to go through this…it’s great…no matter the result of the tournament

No shit.

I used to watch Texas baseball, but not like this. I owe this experience to BON and you guys for getting me this far in.

Glad you joined us for the fun part of the year
Thanks

I have enjoyed it this year. First game at the Disch for the Conference title was awesome

2002 team

won ON my 40th birthday… really incredible moment I will never forget.

Rupp up to batt...Another HR?
I just can't spell tonight...
Beer open now he can hit
Who do you want to play on Next? ASU or UNC?
Right now ASU

cause that means it would be impossible we lose this game.

Whichever one can't beat us twice.
ASU

I think they’re a less potent offensive squad than UNC and will probably throw Spence on Thursday…either team would be tough to beat though

Rupp strikes out runner advances to second
How did we get back to Strasburg?

Go away Orel!

Badly need a 1-2-3 inning from Jungmann
I hear Colt and Jordan might be roomates

and they fish and hunt sometimes…

HBP 2 on 2 out
G DOUBLE O D E Y E......GOOOOOD EYE GOOOOD EYE GOOOD EYE.........!
C'mon Connor!
Best line...You cant teach 103
Glad that I didn't get drunk during the 6th inning....

things is better to come and now we’re 10-6 from 0-6……Thanks coach Augie. What a great pep talk he has given to the troops during the 4th inning!

very mack brownesque
of course, mack does his magic during half time and 4th qtrs.
yea, i remember the way he kept telling VY....

just put on your headphone with your cool hip hop music and go out to have some fun!

grounder to short ends the inning
Ok, 1-2-3 for Taylor!
yea, i'm looking for a fastest record to end the half inning
That first HR by Rupp when the ASU player leapt for it, I have to tell you I thought he had it.

He came down and that look he gave I thought it was in his glove.

remember the Maggi and strike his ass out
Orel and Steve are terrible
I think Steve's been generally good

Orel on the other hand…is terrible

Steve who? Strasburg?

Cause that’s all Steve Phillips talks about.

I ♥ Texas
Grounder to loy one down
5 More Outs

Aside from how bad it looked early on – bad enough to get real defeatist – the only bad thing about this game is the announcers fixating on the “Sound of Music”, the MLB draft and bonus money for guys not even playing in this game. These announcers are really terrible, a distraction from a great game.

ESPN really sucks nt <understatement
Big first out for Jungmann
nice got the leadoff guy out
So im watching the first 3

and ASU is killing us. So i go watch a movie. Come back 2 hours later, and the seemingly sucky Horns offense has scored 10 runs. I love college baseball.

GO BACKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!! :)
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You've crossed the streams
It was YOU! go away
Jungman

Great stuff, that guy was so far out in front it was not even funny.

Not only do all these Texas pitchers have stuff they know when to throw what pitches

Taylor only knows strikes
K two down
you had that shit typed up before the pitch
K for 2nd out
6 Ks for Jungmann
Strike three

Two away

what is the fastest ncaa record in terms of ending one inning?

8 or 10 mins?

*i mean half inning
close but no cigar. three outs
YEssss fly to left ends the inning
Wow

That was a close one!

makin me nervous
Thought that one was outta there for a second.

Maitland scared me.

he is in for defense? yikes.
Maitland looked scared as hell out there
Wow, the baseball gods have turned around on us

Earlier in the game that would’ve gone to downtown Omaha

Long fly ball....

Maitland is a very good defensive player

Maybe nervous, but fully capable

3 outs away from being where we should be
3 outs and another game
No Wood in the ninth please.......... It looked like he was warming up
I think he should from a confidence stand-point
good point but with a quick hook.
Up four save the work on Jung and let Wood close it out
I agree

Jungmann has thrown 65. Might as well let him finish and give Austin some more rest. We may need him.

Yea

And with at least a 4 run lead we can afford for Jungmann to give up a baserunner before going to Wood

too big of a game to take out someone so on top of his game.
I'm still shocked
Me too

Getting over the Leake hump is huge.

The most amazing part is that Ruffin pitched 2+ innings

He hasn’t gone less than 6 all year, he has been the most dependable pitcher on the staff, we wouldn’t be anywhere without him. Then to do this when he struggles, it just shows what an amazing team this is.

Not bad for a football school. Even if we are the best college baseball program there is.

OK

I will drink another beer.

BTW, it’s 10:00 pm CDT and not only does OU suck, but ASU (as usual) also suck.

haha yup...for a football school
4 hours and 1200 posts later

Top 9 :-)

We do the best we can for you...
who was our second pitcher? I missed the good part: innings 3-7 1/2
Dicharry came in for Ruffin

And was spotty. Then Jungmann came out and turned in one of the top 5 pitching performances for Texas of the postseason

it looks like Augie has some kind of allergies...

someone needs to give him some med…. so he can stop sneezing….

Torres strikes out 1 down
Fly to second 2 down
Belt is up and doesn't have to bunt
Hyperspeed giraffe up
Announcers trying to figure out how the hell the 'Horns can win this
Wipeout is your favorite ABC/ESPN/Disney show??????
an good old japanese funny show...
Me too... sorry
Belt singles to left
how can the announcers like Wipeout?
WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT?!
Also, Caps Lock.
nothing relevant.... ever.
u just notice that? they've done that since the 1st inning.

Craig Way is my friend…

now we're muted

unless EA comes on

Shut up you guys. let's watch baseball
Shit they realized there was a base hit
3 more outs!
Taylor coming back out
chopper to short ends the top of 9th
I Repeat:

ESPN sucks. Total disrespect for this game.

Makes you appreciate Lundquist and Musburger
Verne is great, brent not so much.....
I will tolerate ESPN to the CWS title
This game stood no chance with them when Leake was chased

They wanted to suck him off for a full 9.

I dont want any Wood! Dont give me Wood!
I just got here

What’s the score?

Do yourself a favor

Read the first open thread…it’s gotta be a classic

10-6 9th inning we're winning
10-6 Horns bottom 9
10-6 texas up
HOLY SHIT

I left when we were down 4-0

Don't you feel silly right about now
Trust me

Given the choice between Texas Baseball or a seven year old’s party, I would gladly take the baseball

It's maybe the 4th craziest game we've played this postseason
its funny cause its true.
First pitch strikes = :-)
Longhron women looking solid
Caught against the wall

Baseball gods are on our side

Damn

Fate is with us.

one down. two outs left.

again close but no cigar

Come from behind...what can i say?

if this game cannot give us the huge confidence boost to the Champions series… I dunno what will!

*Championship Series
Deep fly to center 1 down
great play in center

Man, kid’s been great in relief. Couldn’t be more optimistic about his future.

ok fellas, i will say my goodbyes now...we win, i was incredbly lucky tonight...for those of you that were around since the start..hook em horns!
Alright you guys that left make plans for the weekend :)
That guy had an incredible game at the plate though
Slow bouncer to tucker gets runner to 1st 1 down
Whoa

What happened to Tucker there?

Couldn't get it outa the glove
misread it and waited for it to get to him
Sean McDonough is thinking "would you please put this away so I can go find my voice?"
Double play to end it?
Fly to center 2 down
1 more play, baby!
Lined to Rowe

Two away…one more!!!

WHo would have guessed ASU wouldn't score a single run after the 3rd?
gotta have faith :)
Wait small ball what?
Let's end this thing....Jungmann
Where does this one rank for y'all?

I guess it’ll be bigger if we win it all, but just an amazing victory…this may be a team of destiny after all

That should be a seperate thread for tomorrow
A good call
Gonna put that up right now before bed
Aesome

Hook’em

and looking for McCoy will bring the title back later on this year..
It certainly feels that way.

I’ll admit I’m not a baseball guy, but this team has done nothing but amaze me and the first game I ever watched was that 25 inning BC game.

A Great Win

Because it’s the College World Series!!!

That's the ball game

Talk to ya’ll Friday night. Hook’em Horns

Chopper to Loy ends it

Woohoo!

To the bracket final they go!

Amazing game

2 days to rest and 1 win away from the final

Dont ever underestimate the heart of a champion
HHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOKKKKKKKKKK'''''EEEEEEMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a game!!!

That was awesome!

Bassale and silky, you guys keep preaching doom and gloom

we will keep pulling this out

I think they redeemed themselves in the comeback :)
Yup they did... Just keep doubting this team... :)
I never doubted this team all year until the early innings of this game

because this team has never played like they played in the early innings of this game.

I said the team would need a complete turnaround by both us and ASU in order to win, and fortunately for us, we got that.

Yea I know

I was speaking about the superstitions that go along with baseball. You guys keep doubting we keep winning. Like the pitcher who wears the same shirt w/o washing it or won’t step on the chalk like going back to the dugout.

The Magic Team
We're Texas.

So who’s starting on the 19th?

Cole Green possibly
Green can go, Ruffin can go, Workman can go

Texas and LSU are in commanding position right now

Just waking up here in London

What a way to start the day!

May have already been discussed, but has Augie lost confidence in Wood?

Nah, he just didn’t need him tonight. Jungmann was hurling fire.

Yup Jung was dealing tonight 2-0 in the CWS not bad for a freshman
No Velocity

Austin had no velocity in the last game. He’s consistent with 89-92 usually. But since BC he’s 82-85. Jungman is the new closer.

Jungmann is not the new closer

He is a starter all the way, and if we hadn’t needed him tonight, he might very well be starting game 3 on Friday.

Augie said in the postgame that he brought Jungmann in after we tied it up because he felt like if we could get the win, then that would give us 2.5 days to get our rotation back in order so we wouldn’t need Jungmann to start game 3. He left Jungmann in because there simply wasn’t a need to take him out. He was pitching great, and we had a decent lead.

Austin Wood was never going to be brought on in the 4th inning. That’s ridiculous.

Exactly. Jungmann was rolling with authority, so why change it up? And in the theory of bringing in the closer just because he’s the closer, I think it’s sort of a “one in the hand > two in the bush” concept here.

So we face the winner of ASU-UNC...

… and only have to win one of two games, and have three of our four best pitchers and our best reliever ready to go?

I’ll take them odds.

I shouldn’t even mention it, but I’d think Jungmann would have to be on tap for the 20th, if necessary.

seriously...

how did we win this game?…
