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.
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?
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Here we go!
blazzinken - June 16, 2009
Why did we go away from small ball?
2Bearnest - June 16, 2009
Only explanations are:
Augie was pressing his luck
Clark is one of the team’s weaker bunters
Probably the former
40AS - June 16, 2009
Really hurts that we couldn't get a lead there
But I like our pen better than theirs.
bassale47 - June 16, 2009
It is worth noting
that Texas is undefeated (40-0-1) when leading after 6 innings.
bassale47 - June 16, 2009

What college player is proven in the Pros?
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009

afhook08 - June 16, 2009
a whole lot.
Braun, Berkman, Lincecum, Pedroia, Ellsbury to name a couple.
hayzer13 - June 16, 2009
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.
40AS - June 16, 2009
Almost forgotten what a 1-2-3 inning looked like
40AS - June 16, 2009
Jungmann gets the K to end it
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
I like those quick innings!
blazzinken - June 16, 2009
Quick inning
great
bfaut86 - June 16, 2009
we should be dominating this game, that 1st inning screwed us, left 2 runners on base...after having 0 outs
afhook08 - June 16, 2009
Main thing is were in this game....
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
indeed.
afhook08 - June 16, 2009
Jungmann
At least two more years are Texas, right?
JohnsonUT - June 16, 2009
Yea
He won’t be a draft eligible sophomore
40AS - June 16, 2009
Hook'em!
Jungmann is playing his TCU magic again!
Horns98 - June 16, 2009
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!!!!!

NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
It is SO LOUD
bfaut86 - June 16, 2009

NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
Tucker singles to center
Ohio Horn - June 16, 2009

?
jacobb23 - June 16, 2009
Tucker singles up the middle. 1 on no outs
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
Another leadoff single
C’mon Belt! More redemption!
40AS - June 16, 2009
and we never bunt belt...
hayzer13 - June 16, 2009
There is a first for everything!!
blazzinken - June 16, 2009
Hyperspeed Giraffe baby
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
So do you bunt?
Ohio Horn - June 16, 2009
Yes
Ohio Horn - June 16, 2009

NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009

Horns98 - June 16, 2009

NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009

bfaut86 - June 16, 2009
we should do that on the last inning, man
Horns98 - June 16, 2009
brandon is a nice guy, not cocky at all...group partners last year for some weak ass leadership class
afhook08 - June 16, 2009
Cool
He seems like a good guy
40AS - June 16, 2009
now michale griffin, cocky ass bastard...still cool to have had him in class
afhook08 - June 16, 2009
and of course having, VY in a class, prior to the 2005 season...gotta brag about that one...
afhook08 - June 16, 2009
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
40AS - June 16, 2009
Tant PHing
40AS - June 16, 2009
Why PH for Moldy in the 6th?
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
righty lefty
hayzer13 - June 16, 2009
ahh ok makes sense
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
Anyone else think he has balked a few times?
blazzinken - June 16, 2009
twice
2Bearnest - June 16, 2009
yes.
jacobb23 - June 16, 2009
Glad its not just me
When you do that turn don’t you have to finish on the second base side of the rubber?
blazzinken - June 16, 2009
gonna walk him
Ohio Horn - June 16, 2009
at least twice.
jacobb23 - June 16, 2009
Tant walk 2 on 1 down
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
don't chase it...
take a walk or bunt
Horns98 - June 16, 2009

40AS - June 16, 2009

NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
Big hit coming from Keyes
Ohio Horn - June 16, 2009
C'mon KK
You know you want to go yard
40AS - June 16, 2009

jacobb23 - June 16, 2009

Horns98 - June 16, 2009
dammit.
jacobb23 - June 16, 2009
dang...
Horns98 - June 16, 2009
damn keyes pops up to first
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
keyes is pissing me off
2Bearnest - June 16, 2009
Must have been a breaking ball
UTBoom - June 16, 2009
He did start the rally off with a single in the 4th
40AS - June 16, 2009
one thing i'm worrying about him is he likes to chase it
Horns98 - June 16, 2009
he wasnt GREAT, prior to the post season
afhook08 - June 16, 2009
he needs to learn to be good batter with patience
Horns98 - June 16, 2009
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?
40AS - June 16, 2009
if he's willing to take a bunt.....
i’m sure we can get at least one score of the previous inning.
Horns98 - June 16, 2009
2 down 2 on
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
We've now had runners at 1st and 2nd with 1 out or less in 5 of 6 innings
40AS - June 16, 2009
good stat
2Bearnest - June 16, 2009

NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009

jacobb23 - June 16, 2009

NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009

Ohio Horn - June 16, 2009
foul ball brings the count full
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
He got his pitch!
Just missed it
blazzinken - June 16, 2009
Gotta make something happen here.
ASU wants no part of Jungmann.
bassale47 - June 16, 2009
Lambson reminds me of
Barry Zito, did they say that already? Have been working the past 20 minutes or so…
kirk1005 - June 16, 2009
Loy hits slow roller to pitcher. Inning over score still tied at 6
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
couldve used that bunt last inning
hayzer13 - June 16, 2009
He should have swung at the 2-0 pitch
bassale47 - June 16, 2009
So frustrating. We are leaving the door open big time.
bassale47 - June 16, 2009
How many have we left on?
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
9
40AS - June 16, 2009
9
UT2001 - June 16, 2009
Lots
bfaut86 - June 16, 2009
dang....yet, wasted another opportunity to score with 2 men on the base
Keyes will never take a bunt…
Horns98 - June 16, 2009
Not sure why Keyes should've bunted with 2 outs
40AS - June 16, 2009
that's xactly what i've said earlier...
Horns98 - June 16, 2009
Keyes didn't bunt
He popped out…Belt bunted with no outs…I’m confused
40AS - June 16, 2009
there was only 1 out
but i agree, he should have been swinging away…
kirk1005 - June 16, 2009
with 0 or 1 out & 2 men on the base,,,, no bunt?
Horns98 - June 16, 2009
9
afhook08 - June 16, 2009
Mmm nice to see we can have an off night and still be in it against the 2nd best pitcher
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
We have to get the energy back up again.

HornPossessed - June 16, 2009
i'm already over it.
i like her again.
hayzer13 - June 16, 2009
Besides her phoniness?

bassale47 - June 16, 2009

NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009

afhook08 - June 16, 2009
I have no problem with walking Ruettiger.
He’s a pretty fantastic hitter.
HornPossessed - June 16, 2009
Throw Strikes and let your defense help you out
Ohio Horn - June 16, 2009
I'm glad that I've Craig Way on...
Horns98 - June 16, 2009
Me too
bassale47 - June 16, 2009
Now I will
mute the video and listen to Craig. Enough is enough.
bfaut86 - June 16, 2009
What was I thinking?
drinking?
bfaut86 - June 16, 2009
Craig is only a couple of seconds ahead of TV
Not too bad.
bassale47 - June 16, 2009
Pop out to left ends the inning
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
Like I said
Ohio Horn - June 16, 2009
how many K's Jungmann has so far?
Horns98 - June 16, 2009
3 i think
bassale47 - June 16, 2009
no...it should be more than that, man
Horns98 - June 16, 2009
Gametracker says 3
bassale47 - June 16, 2009

Horns98 - June 16, 2009
Huge fly out
40AS - June 16, 2009
Taylor is closing in on 40 pitches
Wonder what Wood has in the tank. I’d like to get 1 more inning from Jungmann.
bassale47 - June 16, 2009
Taylor threw...17 on Sunday?
Hopefully we can get some run support here
40AS - June 16, 2009
I would like to get 2 runs and see Jung close this mother out
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
Didn't realize Tucker was 3-for-3.

40AS - June 16, 2009

There have been a lot of f-bombs, especially in the early going

blazzinken - June 16, 2009

hayzer13 - June 16, 2009
Damn
Can’t have the mental mistakes now. Not with a lead I’ve been waiting for for 3 hours.
bassale47 - June 16, 2009

NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
I was wondering why you were ahead
Had rewinded to rewatch the homer…awesome. Then picked off, not awesome

bassale47 - June 16, 2009
are we going to play against the Hogs if we win tonight?
Horns98 - June 16, 2009
no Hogs are in the other bracket
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
k...thks
Horns98 - June 16, 2009
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.
bassale47 - June 16, 2009
Getting ahead of ourselves here :-)
40AS - June 16, 2009
Maitland in for Clark
Why the hell didn’t we pinch run for him last inning then?
bassale47 - June 16, 2009

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.

40AS - June 16, 2009
Jugnman first pick of 2011?!?!
Texantt - June 16, 2009
My wife gave up trying to talk to me while the game was on and went to bed...
I will pay for this later. :)
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
Life Story... Just plan a night the Longhorns don't play..
Texantt - June 16, 2009
Hopefully one of the next 2 nights
bassale47 - June 16, 2009
dont worry father's day is coming if u r a dad.....she may give u some slack...
Horns98 - June 16, 2009
lol
afhook08 - June 16, 2009
only if our gfs/wives could read all this, i mean they can but, lol u know what i mean
afhook08 - June 16, 2009
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.
bassale47 - June 16, 2009
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
afhook08 - June 16, 2009
I can't complain my wife is very understanding
I told her up front when we first started dating what she was in for
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
Before game
said I wouldn’t watch so we could watch what she wanted. Changed my mind… glad I did. Will deal with it.
bfaut86 - June 16, 2009
what, thats insane? how can u propose to not watch?
afhook08 - June 16, 2009
Insanity
obviously.
bfaut86 - June 16, 2009
Tucker, Belt, and Shepherd up
bassale47 - June 16, 2009
Maitland in for Tant
40AS - June 16, 2009
Maitland went in for Clark
Shepherd is in for Moldy
bassale47 - June 16, 2009
I still Can't get past the name of Tant... Mom have a lisp? or a mouthful?
Texantt - June 16, 2009
Check that
Not sure where Maitland fits in
40AS - June 16, 2009
Neither did his mom... sorry
Texantt - June 16, 2009
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…
Horns98 - June 16, 2009
Given. sorry English Major
Texantt - June 16, 2009
lol...do we need to?
Horns98 - June 16, 2009

NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
Walk
Ohio Horn - June 16, 2009
Walk 1 on 0 outs
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
Lead runner on!
blazzinken - June 16, 2009
Belt is up. Bunt?
Ohio Horn - June 16, 2009
back to that conundrum about bunting with belt
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
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
40AS - June 16, 2009
we have the BEST PITCHER RIGHT NOW
afhook08 - June 16, 2009
BUNT!!!!!!>>>>>>>.......
Texantt - June 16, 2009
Looks like he will be buntings
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
err knock off the s
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
Moves the runner to second on a sacrifice bunt
Ohio Horn - June 16, 2009
Great bunt
Fantastic play by the pitcher…gotta applaud the effort
40AS - June 16, 2009
yup. close to being 2 on 0 outs
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
Belts bunt moves the runner to second 1 down
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
Where was that in the 1st???
Texantt - June 16, 2009
Keyes has any HR tonight?
Horns98 - June 16, 2009
no Rupp has 2
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
dang....that means he will chase it....
Horns98 - June 16, 2009
Not until this inning (please)
Ohio Horn - June 16, 2009
My bad I was too quick with the answer. yes he will have a HR by the end of the game :)
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
Blair in to pitch
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
Now that AO and I have decided our wrap up will be our text conversation
We’ve begun saying big, philosophical things
40AS - June 16, 2009
Cameron Rupp's 2 HRs
The game changing performance…shocker
40AS - June 16, 2009
Hard thrower vs hard hitter
I like our chances here
Ohio Horn - June 16, 2009
Should have played Augie's speech
bassale47 - June 16, 2009
This just in
Augie knows what he’s doing
40AS - June 16, 2009
You don't say
bfaut86 - June 16, 2009
Seriously
all these bunting statistics people want to throw out. Shove ’em up your ass. YOUR ASS.

40AS - June 16, 2009
Keyes owes us
bassale47 - June 16, 2009
Not so sure...After some of the things we were saying when it was 6-0...
40AS - June 16, 2009
done
silky51 - June 16, 2009
Don't swing wildly at everything?

Keyes
He’s just a doub machine.
JohnsonUT - June 16, 2009
YES. double for keyes and one run scores
Ohio Horn - June 16, 2009
KEYES!
40AS - June 16, 2009
Keyes doubles 1 run in 8-6
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
IM ONNNNN FYAAAAAAAA.....AND YES IM TAKING CREDIT FOR IT
afhook08 - June 16, 2009

UT2001 - June 16, 2009
Alright
I wish we scored 2 though.
TheElusiveShadow - June 16, 2009

NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
2nd and 3rd, 1 away
Let’s add two!
40AS - June 16, 2009
Is it just me, or does Kevin Keyes look like a miss of John Chiles and Carlton from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air?
HornPossessed - June 16, 2009

HornPossessed - June 16, 2009
It would be funny as hell to see him do that dance
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
"Couple of Lussons in scoring position"
40AS - June 16, 2009
time for another round of Beam
UT2001 - June 16, 2009
When was the last time brothers scored back to back?
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
Time for Loy's 1st career homer?
40AS - June 16, 2009
he is reaching.
Ohio Horn - June 16, 2009
0-2 to Loy
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009

NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009

I can’t believe we have just scored 10 runs on ASU.
TheElusiveShadow - June 16, 2009
I Love Us
bfaut86 - June 16, 2009

That looks much more like Texas baseball
bassale47 - June 16, 2009
AS40
seriously, how r u going to write your game summary tonight?
Horns98 - June 16, 2009
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
40AS - June 16, 2009
question, why are u throwing guns up on ur avatar? or whatever it is?
afhook08 - June 16, 2009
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).
40AS - June 16, 2009
homecoming, lol. yah wasnt sure if it was lsu or tech...
afhook08 - June 16, 2009
amen!
Horns98 - June 16, 2009
NASTY NASTY COMEBACK!!!!!! ITS PRETTY NASTY!
NASTY NASTY COMEBACK!!!!!! ITS PRETTY NASTY!
afhook08 - June 16, 2009
10 unanswered with the best pitcher in the tournament on the mound
This is unreal
40AS - June 16, 2009
I BELIEVE!!
Ohio Horn - June 16, 2009
I need another beer for the last two outs...
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
Just one?
Go for borderline alcohol poisoning tonight! Luck is with us all tonight.
HornPossessed - June 16, 2009
Have a privacy fence to replace in the morning. Need to be able to walk :)
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
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.
silky51 - June 16, 2009
It happened earlier in the year.
Good outcome for us if I’m remembering correctly…
Or I’m drunk and imagining things.
HornPossessed - June 16, 2009
thats the championship right there man. all along.
afhook08 - June 16, 2009
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.
bassale47 - June 16, 2009
I thought 3-1 in a 2 1/2 hour game
40AS - June 16, 2009
Technically still the 3rd hour I suppose
bassale47 - June 16, 2009
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.
blazzinken - June 16, 2009
It really is incredible
After the last 3 years, to go through this…it’s great…no matter the result of the tournament
40AS - June 16, 2009
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.
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
Glad you joined us for the fun part of the year
40AS - June 16, 2009
Thanks
I have enjoyed it this year. First game at the Disch for the Conference title was awesome
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
2002 team
won ON my 40th birthday… really incredible moment I will never forget.
bfaut86 - June 16, 2009
Rupp up to batt...Another HR?
HornPossessed - June 16, 2009
I just can't spell tonight...
HornPossessed - June 16, 2009
Beer open now he can hit
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
Who do you want to play on Next? ASU or UNC?
Ohio Horn - June 16, 2009
Right now ASU
cause that means it would be impossible we lose this game.
hayzer13 - June 16, 2009
Whichever one can't beat us twice.
bassale47 - June 16, 2009
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
40AS - June 16, 2009
Rupp strikes out runner advances to second
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
How did we get back to Strasburg?
Go away Orel!
40AS - June 16, 2009
Badly need a 1-2-3 inning from Jungmann
40AS - June 16, 2009
I hear Colt and Jordan might be roomates
and they fish and hunt sometimes…
UT2001 - June 16, 2009
HAHAHA
kirk1005 - June 16, 2009

NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
C'mon Connor!
40AS - June 16, 2009
Best line...You cant teach 103
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
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!
Horns98 - June 16, 2009
very mack brownesque
afhook08 - June 16, 2009
of course, mack does his magic during half time and 4th qtrs.
afhook08 - June 16, 2009
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!
Horns98 - June 16, 2009
grounder to short ends the inning
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
10-6 horns
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
Ok, 1-2-3 for Taylor!
40AS - June 16, 2009
yea, i'm looking for a fastest record to end the half inning
Horns98 - June 16, 2009
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.
Ohio Horn - June 16, 2009
Alas
He did not
40AS - June 16, 2009
alas
Ohio Horn - June 16, 2009
remember the Maggi and strike his ass out
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
2-2
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
Orel and Steve are terrible
UT2001 - June 16, 2009
I think Steve's been generally good
Orel on the other hand…is terrible
40AS - June 16, 2009
Steve who? Strasburg?
Cause that’s all Steve Phillips talks about.
hayzer13 - June 16, 2009
I ♥ Texas
bfaut86 - June 16, 2009
Grounder to loy one down
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
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.
RMHorn - June 16, 2009
ESPN really sucks nt <understatement
bfaut86 - June 16, 2009
Big first out for Jungmann
40AS - June 16, 2009
nice got the leadoff guy out
UT2001 - June 16, 2009
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.
acho81 - June 16, 2009
GO BACKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!! :)
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You've crossed the streams
UT2001 - June 16, 2009
It was YOU! go away
Ohio Horn - June 16, 2009
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
blazzinken - June 16, 2009
Count at 1-2
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
Taylor only knows strikes
UT2001 - June 16, 2009

you had that shit typed up before the pitch
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009

what is the fastest ncaa record in terms of ending one inning?
8 or 10 mins?
Horns98 - June 16, 2009
*i mean half inning
Horns98 - June 16, 2009
yesssss.
afhook08 - June 16, 2009
close but no cigar. three outs
Ohio Horn - June 16, 2009
YEssss fly to left ends the inning
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
Wow
That was a close one!
blazzinken - June 16, 2009
makin me nervous
acho81 - June 16, 2009
Thought that one was outta there for a second.
Maitland scared me.
HornPossessed - June 16, 2009
he is in for defense? yikes.
hayzer13 - June 16, 2009
Maitland looked scared as hell out there
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
Wow, the baseball gods have turned around on us
Earlier in the game that would’ve gone to downtown Omaha
40AS - June 16, 2009
Long fly ball....
Texantt - June 16, 2009
Maitland is a very good defensive player
Maybe nervous, but fully capable
bassale47 - June 16, 2009
3 outs away from being where we should be
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
3 outs and another game
uwill1der - June 16, 2009
No Wood in the ninth please.......... It looked like he was warming up
Horns09 - June 16, 2009
I think he should from a confidence stand-point
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
good point but with a quick hook.
Horns09 - June 16, 2009
Up four save the work on Jung and let Wood close it out
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
I agree
Jungmann has thrown 65. Might as well let him finish and give Austin some more rest. We may need him.
bassale47 - June 16, 2009
Yea
And with at least a 4 run lead we can afford for Jungmann to give up a baserunner before going to Wood
40AS - June 16, 2009
too big of a game to take out someone so on top of his game.
hayzer13 - June 16, 2009
I'm still shocked
40AS - June 16, 2009
Me too
Getting over the Leake hump is huge.
bassale47 - June 16, 2009
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.
40AS - June 16, 2009
Not bad for a football school. Even if we are the best college baseball program there is.
acho81 - June 16, 2009
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.
bfaut86 - June 16, 2009
haha yup...for a football school
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009

We do the best we can for you...
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
who was our second pitcher? I missed the good part: innings 3-7 1/2
Horns09 - June 16, 2009
dicharry
hayzer13 - June 16, 2009
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
40AS - June 16, 2009
it looks like Augie has some kind of allergies...
someone needs to give him some med…. so he can stop sneezing….

Horns09 - June 16, 2009
WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT?!
HornPossessed - June 16, 2009
Also, Caps Lock.
HornPossessed - June 16, 2009
nothing relevant.... ever.
hayzer13 - June 16, 2009
u just notice that? they've done that since the 1st inning.
Craig Way is my friend…
Horns98 - June 16, 2009
now we're muted
unless EA comes on
UT2001 - June 16, 2009
Shut up you guys. let's watch baseball
Ohio Horn - June 16, 2009

NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009

They wanted to suck him off for a full 9.

hayzer13 - June 16, 2009

Horns98 - June 16, 2009

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
40AS - June 16, 2009
That should be a seperate thread for tomorrow
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
A good call
40AS - June 16, 2009
Gonna put that up right now before bed
40AS - June 16, 2009
Aesome
Hook’em
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
and looking for McCoy will bring the title back later on this year..
Horns98 - June 16, 2009
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.
HornPossessed - June 16, 2009
A Great Win
Because it’s the College World Series!!!
Texantt - June 16, 2009
Strike 2
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009

bfaut86 - June 16, 2009
HHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOKKKKKKKKKK'''''EEEEEEMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!
Horns98 - June 16, 2009
What a game!!!
That was awesome!
blazzinken - June 16, 2009
Bassale and silky, you guys keep preaching doom and gloom
we will keep pulling this out
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
I think they redeemed themselves in the comeback :)
40AS - June 16, 2009
Yup they did... Just keep doubting this team... :)
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
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.
bassale47 - June 16, 2009
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.
NeTexHorn - June 17, 2009
The Magic Team
Liches - June 16, 2009
We're Texas.
hayzer13 - June 16, 2009
So who’s starting on the 19th?
burntorangehorn - June 16, 2009
Cole Green possibly
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
Green can go, Ruffin can go, Workman can go
Texas and LSU are in commanding position right now
40AS - June 16, 2009
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?
patienthornsfan - June 16, 2009
Nah, he just didn’t need him tonight. Jungmann was hurling fire.
burntorangehorn - June 16, 2009
Yup Jung was dealing tonight 2-0 in the CWS not bad for a freshman
NeTexHorn - June 16, 2009
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.
Texantt - June 16, 2009
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.
bassale47 - June 16, 2009
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.
burntorangehorn - June 17, 2009
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.
patienthornsfan - June 16, 2009
I shouldn’t even mention it, but I’d think Jungmann would have to be on tap for the 20th, if necessary.
burntorangehorn - June 16, 2009
seriously...
how did we win this game?…
