Horns v. Cajuns Game Two Open Thread

They say that it is always darkest just before the dawn. Let's hope they're right. There's nothing to tell you that you don't already know about last night, but c'mon...if this team was going to win a title they were going to do it the hard way. If tonight is the last night of the season, it has been a magical ride that has restored Texas baseball to Omaha. If not, momentum will swing quickly in our direction.

Game starts at 6 PM on ESPN

Longhorn pitching

I was encouraged by the lack of good swings off Ruffin, and Workman looked good also. With a win tonight, the pressure would shift back on LSU, even with their #2 going Wednesday against Cole Green.

We got this! Hook 'em!
Who are the starters tonight?
Jungmann for Texas, Austin Ross for LSU

Ross is LSU’s #3. Huge drop off from #2 to him. He’s 6-7 with a 5+ ERA, so this is a golden opportunity for the Horns, provided Jungmann is on his game and the bullpen doesn’t do what they did last night.

Interesting.

Their #2 is that guy with an Italian(?) name, and he’s pitched a bunch of innings for them, right? He’s like our Cole Green?

Ranaudo is their #2

Craig Way said today that most people were expecting him to throw tonight but LSU’s coach thought better of it now that they have a win under the belts and don’t really have to win this game. They were going to have to use Ross eventually, and they figure it’s better to do it in a non-elimination game.

Ranaudo has 2 starts in the CWS, hasn’t really thrown a ton of pitches. His first start was cut short because he did not have good stuff that day. His last start was very good, but it was 3 days ago, so they would have been taking a bit of a chance starting him today.

Alright

Lets do this!!!

Hook'Em!
also, BON needs an iphone app ;)
ESPN, wtf....

They just said they will cut into the CWS to watch Manny bat live in the minors…. WTF who cares??

Why am I not surprised?

ESPN has taken advantage of every possible opportunity to disrespect college baseball. This is just another one to add to the list.

I heard there's a chance the game gets postponed or delayed?

Anybody know about this?

not sure, but they won't let us know till 6, lol :(
I heard it's raining and thundering

On the radar, it looks like there are a few storms moving through, but I don’t think it’s enough to postpone the game. Since it’s raining right now, I feel pretty certain that it will be delayed some.

Mike Wilbon picked us to win :)
TTTTTEEEEEEEEXXXXXXXXAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSS
FFFIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!
BTW, it's 5:32 p.m and....
LSU SUCKS!!!!

and OU TOO!!!!

Hey, we’re 4-1 in elimination games, and 1-0 when we are the team that could be eliminated. Thats one way to look at it.

Rain delays start of Texas vs. LSU

Tuesday, June 23, 2009, 05:48 PM

Rain at Rosenblatt Stadium is delaying the start of the Texas vs. LSU College World Series game, which was set for 6 p.m.

No start time has been announced.

Omaha is under a severe storm warning until 10 p.m.

Whats the weather like in Spain?
it stays mainly on the plain
Too hot

In my town (near Madrid) it’s like 40Âșc. I spend all the time in the pool…

do you play water polo?

I understand that it’s big in Europe. I feel like i’m the only non-Californian who plays.

No I don't. But in Spain is so popular

Water polo is an important sport in the Olympic games for us.

it was 101 F earlier today in dallas, so, you got us beat
I think the weather in Texas is very similar to Madrid
Sounds like it

Do you have really bad humidity?

Not really. That's a good thing here. There?
thats the worst part, i can cope with the heat

the humidity just wears you down

that was absolutely awful. its gotta be worse in houston though
youre right,

It was 102 at 5:30 when I left work. We haven’t had any rain lately so the humidity is down a little.

The guy who took Lance’s bike got 3 years in jail. That’s called the Texas Hammer.

Stupid question but is it a good idea to have Moldy as the dh opposed to Rupp being the DH Clark being the catcher and maybe Moldenhauer as an outfielder
rain delay
looking at radar

its raining there now, but should pass soon, and it does look like much more is on the way, but im not a weatherman

games on
nevermind... fooled by the delayed game tape
when is it gonna start with the rain delay?
They said on The Zone it could be 7:30 or 8:00

The guys on ESPN said if there is no more lightning, it will be fairly soon. The NCAA has an automatic 30-minute delay for every lightning strike.

I had to turn yesterday's game immediately.
Man oh man...

I do not want to watch this again.

im already sweating

and im still in air conditioning

Nice name btw
wait i didn't quite get that prodigious clout thing. i know it has something to do with the walkoff
Cameron Rupp's homer over the center field wall
did an announcer say that
40AS had a post about it
ok, ok now i got it. I just wasn't sure if 40AS coined that or if it came from somewhere else
Craig Way's call on Rupp's bomb vs. ASU.
Thanks!

I decided to stop lurking and finally register today, and Way’s quote has been stuck in my head since Friday!

I cannot watch tonight's game

delayed or not. But just wanted to stick my head in here and say Hook ‘em Horns, Texas Fight and y’all enjoy the game!!!

Have they announced an expected start time?
i'm guessing 7:30cst
sorry read the post above
What are the rules for starting?

How late will that wait, will they push it back to tomorrow?

my roommate is an idiot

he thought the game was going on right now and was already yelling at the tv.

lol

must be like that guy ‘crazy eyes’ on Mr deeds

lol, thought the same thing for a bit :)
I am yelling at it too and I know it was yesterday's game

I am looking for the banner that says when the expected start time is and they won’t show me one.

Too bad Ruffin cramped up last night. He was pitching lights out.
Entertainment while we wait

I cant see youtube, someone tell a joke
How many sooners does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

Three. One to screw it in and 2 to throw shit at each other.

So, a DUCK walks into a bar,

goes up to the bartender, “Bartender do you have any grapes?” , Bartenders, looks around… looks at the duck, “No we don’t serve grapes here.”

duck leaves…

Duck comes back the next day, same bar, same bartender, walks up to the bartender “Bartender, do you have any grapes?”…. Bartender looks at the duck, “I told you yesterday, we don’t serve grapes here!!” duck leaves…

Duck comes back the next day, same bar, same bartender….
Duck walks up to the bartender, “Hey bartender, you have any grapes?!” Bartender looks at teh duck pissed off, “NO, we don’t have any grapes and we don’t serve them here!! If you ask again I’ll nail your feet to the floor!” duck leaves

Next day, Duck walks into the same bar, sees the same bartender.. goes up to the bartender “Bartender, do you have any nails?” Bartender responds, “No” Duck asks, “Do you have any grapes”

hehe……

meh! well, the kids like it :)
we need 54b to join the thread
I LOLed
teh duck
Two muffins are sitting in an oven.

The first muffin says “Man, it sure is hot in here”. The second responds, “Holy crap a talking muffin!”

How did helen Keller burn her face?

She was bobbing for french fries.

Tarp is off the field

Probably will start around 7:30.

Hopefully!

Tarp off the field is what I read on Bevo Beat as well.

Hopefully this game will start soon

these jokes are pretty bad, lol :-)

Let's hope Jungmann is ready tonight......

as compared to last night.

I’m liking our chances with Ranaudo not starting for LSU. I’ll try extra hard to stay positive tonight. :-)

First pitch 7:43 CST.
Damn 7:43 at least were use to late games
statesman says 7:43. That's 8:43 for Ohio Horn
Thats 5:43 for kcmorse
Its 7:12 for Ohio Horn and 5:12 for KCMorse

and OU still sucks

i think ohio is currently 8:12
Damn I wish I would of timed my drinks a lot better
that's beer:43 for silky
At least it will be cooler out there
I wonder if the humidity is going to be worse tho?
and 2:43 am for liches
i'm proud of Liches
I think today its gonna be imposible I'll stay all the time without sleep...
Anyone on Hawaii time so they can say 3:43
hope to on hawaii time in October :)
and its 1:69 Austin Wood time
Wondering if Augie will put more emphasis back on small ball

for tonight. Solo HR’s are fun and all, but I’d like to see a big inning tonight that wears down their pitching.

who has play by play tonight?
where is 40AS anyway?
writing the post game thread
lol

he better not be

Dear Augie

Please Leave Keyes and Moldy in the game until the final out.
Thanks,
BON MGMT

He did that in the 25 inning game around the 7th and it hasn't changed his approach.

I look for the same thing to happen again tonight.

It doesn't make it right
its like writing your own autobiography at 7 years old
Doesn't being 2 games away from winning the CWS buy him "some" measure of belief

or is it if it works hes a genius and if he doesn’t hes should have done X?

It's burned us 3 times that I can think of right now!!!!

Moldy and Keyes had 1/3 of our hits and RBIs last night when pulled, he screwed up.

Get upset much?

He did what he thought was right and what he has being doing. If we woulda won, would you have said anything?

YES!!!!!!!!!!!

I most definitely would.
I’m not upset, you’re just not going to change MY OPINION.

I'm not trying to change your opinion.

It is yours. I am just saying that it is hypocritical to love this team when they win and get so down on them and coach when they don’t. He is the winingest coach in college baseball for a reason.

If you can quote where I was down

I’ll end this and say you are right. Quote me where I said he was wrong, I dare you to find it.

Dude I'm not trying to pick a fight

It is just frustrating for so many people to be so down when coach does the same thing he has been doing all year and the team has been winning. The whining that went on last night was pitiful. You would think this team finished last in the Big12 and hasn’t won anything. I had to quit reading the after game blog because there was so much negativity over the same thing we have seen all year. Just in this case it didn’t result in a win.

I think Moldy

has made the case for me tonight, again.

Haha wanna bet on if he and keyes get lifted again tonight?
Want to bet if I disagree with it again?
Main thing is if we win and you still disagree.

That is better in my book than those who show up just to bitch moan and whine about what Augie should have done

We did it against BC

We won in 25, he should have kept Keyes in the game who was responsible for the 2 we did score.
Augie shouldn’t pull our lineup in the CWS.

Yea

unfortunately I wasn’t able to watch that game, but I did keep on my blackberry via BON. Seeing the highlights, you could tell it was killing Keyes sitting on the bench for that long.

alright, i gotta go home

i will reading from my phone, and will see yall soon

7:45 CT according to Kyle Peterson's twitter.
flags are still tonight.....not much wind.
again...

all 3 commentators on ESPN wearing LSU colors…………knew it!

their ties I mean
at least Erin's wearing orange
I'd prefer she wore nothing
I dont want to see any Lussons tonight or Maitland
Nice colors Erin Andrews.

Man…what I’d do…

visigoth state sucks
I wonder how many times shes been nailed
by Kirk Herbstreit?

Plenty. Under the ESPN Gameday booth.

twice that i know of

nope, no i dont. but it would be alot cooler if i did.

Am I just rationalizing or will the come back from one game down make this victory sweeter?

DESTINY!

Hook’em

With that said, i think this calls for a TTTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEEEEXXXXXXXXXXXXXAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Its going to be a good one tonight we have a lot to play for
I can definetly see Herbie Bending her over
Ohio Horn

You should leave a burning bag of tortilla chips on Jim Tressel’s front porch.

Even better. I got to go to his house (the shoe) and watch my horns beat his bucknuts
I wish we were the home team
where is Renaudo?
Saved for tomorrow
Hes tomorrow
We need to get off to a hot start tonight
deep breath.............

and we’re underway!

I loved the solo HRs but I hope it rains base hits for the horns all night long
No swing Torres
4 pitch walk

I like this way to start!

Thats what im talkin about let him give u your pitch not his
walk to start it off

small ball time??

make him throw a strike first
first error of the CWS for LSU
HAH! I beat ESPN to the punch on that call
so much for error-free ball
awesome... now lets get him to 3rd.
Texas' Orange+ LSU's Yellow looks great
that calls for a ....

TTTEEEEEEEEEEEXXXXXXAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSS

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHTTTTTTTTTTT
FFFFFFFFIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHTTTTTTTTTTTT

i didnt log on last night, thats why we lost...im sorry guys
glas you are here now
I look for Coach Pasta to go to BP early tonight.
Keyes flies out to CF side retired
Good inning

we’re hitting this guy and playing small ball. With the conditions, I’m pleased with this start!

23 pitches for Ross
What's LSU's record when they don't score first?
Thats fine

in my mind, the goal of each inning is to score a run. the goal of each defensive inning is not to give up a run. we accomplished our goal for inning 1.

texas starts the game with a 1 run lead. Now we need a strong defense. and stronger pitching.
I am hoping the first pitch is a strike.
yes

let’s start with a strike, and go from there

damn

it was close

How was the nickname Hyperspeed Giraffe coined?
40AS said it first.

We were talking about Belt one night during a game and he said that is what they used to call VY. Just kinda stuck from there

c'mon jungmann! step up son!
last night was one of those night for jungmann...he'll light up
Jungmann...come on boy

Get it down!

there you go now!
good play by Torres

1 up, 1 down

4 pitches - one gone.
Ok

I was wrong, Moldy was safe.

jungmann on fire is lethal...
8 pitches - two gone
Jungmann starting to find his range. K.
Taylor K's Schimpf
What does the K sign guy do when there's been 3 so's
three gone - 13 pitches
EXCELLENT START JUNGMANN!!!!

Rowe, Clark, Loy up
Do the Horns ever steal bases?

I have not seen it.

amazing, how does someone get drafted without playing a sport...wow
godamn those bastards

could they be any more condescending?

Moved Rowe up in the lineup?
OUCH

Thatb looked painful

Lets

Undeated?

Can I get a DVR ruling on that?

Rowe

lines to 3B, 1 down

Wow

Les is tweeting. Im going to sacrifice animals again.

AND THE BATS ARE ON AGAIN!!! HOMER!!!
F'ing Yes! Smokin'.
Goodbye!!!

HR!! Clark

Texas has now hit more HR than LSU during the CWS
TTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEXXXXXXXXXXXXAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSS
nice shot by Clark....
I could have sworn

ESPN told us the bottom of our order couldn’t hit homeruns into the wind.

Only several times.
They were hoping
haha, excellent point.
les miles twitter....Settle in and play our game geaux Tigers!!1 minute ago from TwitterBerry
Loy grounds to 3rd. 2 down
Torres gets a base hit
Single by Torres
Looking for a double by tucker

Interference by the catcher
Catchers interference

Base running error. But another at bat and another run. Go to work Taylor!
$@#!%@#$@# Torres!!!!

un-f’ing acceptable!!!!!!!!!!!!

Right play wrong time. He was going for 3rd
42 pitches for Ross

Anyone think LSU will go to Ranaudo if they get a lead?

doubt it

They’ll need him for tomorrow. Coleman cant start on 2 days after his outing yesterday

The baseball gods have their fingerprints all over this game

catcher interference
pick off

A cold beer helps
genius!

otw to fridge

Hi, I'm Kyle Peterson

I have Nopersonality-itis

Torres makes another good play

1 down, 3 pitches

two up two down and one to go
Another chopper to Torres

If we win tonight

we should get all the Texas fans to bring cowbells to tomorrow’s game. It worked for Texas/OU.

patrick going ga-ga again for mitchell

The kid is one hell of an athlete

I’ll give him that. Kinda like Uptons.

Patrick says

http://www.hulu.com/watch/62445/saturday-night-live-suppressex
Mitchell hits to LF

1 on, 2 down

They are showing real man love for this mitchell kid

Fastest player EVER and only got a single on that hit.

BULLSHIT!!!! HE WAS OUT!
Yup he is safe. to bad
Error by Loy

LSU scores

Time for Taylor to end this damn inning
let's go Jungmann.....

time to shutup the lsu fans

The football team wins it all, they get a Wheaties box

If we win it we should get a Special K

Belt, Moldenhauer, Rupp up
hoping Jung goes all 9 tonight....

I don’t want to see the bullpen

erin andrews: yah totally, ESPN hates texas, we love you guys and tiger football!
this is the SEC network
Errors errors errors

u cant make errors and expect to win…UT has to play mistake free baseball

Not true thus far
true last game
New pitcher for LSU
Random question re our artificial turf

My brother’s an LSU alum and we’re texting during the game. He just asked why we have the fake stuff at home, noting that that seems quite unusual. I can’t remember what our reasons are for having the fake grass. Anyone else know why?

Because We're Texas, damn it
cost

not water no mow
just some paint

Les Miles says

“Hey Erin, can I see some boobies? Okay, Okay, one boobie? No, What do you mean I don’t a reason to choke it?”

les is still all warm for stoops's man boobs
Erin is a bead-ho
i'm tossing then
Why are they talking to that Okla State guy?
No he wasn't on Base. He was at bat
Belt pops out to 3B
come on Moldy!!
Another Home run for moldy
HELL YAH!!!!
Moldy kills one to RF!!
Maybe moldy should never come out
Has that ball landed yet?

MOONSHOT!!

That was a rocket.

He really likes this little league stadium doesn't he?
The Dark Lord Moldemort

must have used avada kedavra, ’cos he killed that.

+1000000000

Awesome.

from fake bunt to HR

PLEASE AUGIE DO NOT PULL HIM OUT AGAIN!!!!

Ring>>>Ring>>>
Hold on NASA is on the hook.
Ok Augie

Lets sub him for Kyle Lusson now

So much for Moldy not being able to hit lefties
Wait

I thought we didn’t have the power to do that

need more runs this inning

lets not put the game on bullpen again

For sure

Love the homers, but they’ve all been singles. Gotta have some more runs to put them away.

Rupp doubles
Nice decision to bat him fourth behind Belt
Where is your speed now?
or the go-go-gadget arms?
That guy in RF is not very fast!
Mitchell not that fast huh?

Shipley woulda caught that. :-)

i thought the bloop usually came before the blast

:-)

Did you see Rupp out of the box?!

Where is the hustle?

can'ts stand espn, when it comes to texas

was that Will Ferrell in burnt orange??? goddamn that looked like him.

That Trojan lover would never wear burnt orange.
pitcher seems to be rattled...lets keep this inning going!!

For you guys keeping track at home...

You’ve hit 13.4% of your HRs for the year against us now…

Coach Pasta has seen enough
LSU needs to change pitchers now
But I like that pitcher.
i think i love that pitcher
changing pitchers again

I’m liking this

Yup. This will help tomorrow to get into deep into their pen tonight
Yes because Ranaudo can't go as long as Coleman can.

They’re gonna need their pen tomorrow.

Didnt Virginia rough him up?
Yes

He only lasted 4 innings in that game

look at 'em scramble
did u guys see the "OU sucks" foam Hook 'em sign
I wonder if Les Miles is tweeting about the long bombs.

Damn I'm wayy behind live tv
Well that's pretty good

TTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Look at all that speed on Mitchell.

(sorry—catching up! had to put the lil ’horn to bed)

FFFFFFFFFFFIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!
nice play at second base by Frenchie
Loy grounds to 2nd

great play by LSU 2B

Defense better get their heads out this inning
OK Solid Defense guys!
hope jungmann hasnt fallen asleep
D errors + runs = Longerhorn confusion
*errors = runs = Longerhorn confusion
Wow they are talking about TEXAS! on the LSU station.
Texas was #1

LSU was #3
so why are they so surprised every time Texas is leading?

missed by six inches of being caught too!
damn it, thats ok, go get em jungmann!
Damn

I leave for a second to the bano, and what the hell happened?

YES!!!! nice defense.
nice catch tucker
Nice play by Tucker
ATTENTION

Manny Ramirez grounded out in minor league!

he was kind of in a hurry

that time of the month

are these prick baby commentators LSU alumn? any of them...?
Good block by Rupp

Do we walk this guy and set up the DP?

turn two now
Come on Taylor
Micah K's 2 down
blow it by him
Jungmann's fastball is on fire
triple comes to naught
excellent, way to hold jungmann
Jungmann

Threw like a freshman last night. Not tonight.

nice!

hoping Jung can go deep into this game.

go to http://www.espn.com and look at the headlines section. “LSU set to oust Texas”. Just wow.

LSU TV
coming up during the 7th inning stretch...

kyle uses a ouiga board to contact pete maravich.

Well, I mean... if they win, that's the end of the CWS. So yeah, they probably are out to end it tonight.
But down 5-1 is not really "set"
What the hell?

They must mean that LSU will win if we beat them on a neutral field.

47 pitches for Jungmann

Torres, Tucker, Belt up

watch the game live

moving rowe up has already paid off
This guy seems like he's a much better pitcher than the last 2
that was a terrible at bat, c'mon towers!
weak inning so far.
Tucker grounds out
question...after we win...when's game 3? tomorrow at 6? or do they get a days rest?
batters are reaching with this pitcher
I cant believe were only in the top of the 4th

its already been over an hour

mike patrick has the same shirt...different tie....
arent these dude makine triple digits?
dudes* making*
Belt busts out the walking stick

2 out, 1 on, Moldy up.

Moldy up
Think it's time to pull him?
haha he did ground out
dropping that average to .425
Yup and Keyes did miss that fly to right that Lusson would have caught
defensive substitution

wink wink

.429...nasty avg.
Orel offering his unsolicited opinions on Belt's stance yet again
Moldy grounds to short, side retired
First scoreless.
Moldy grounds out to end the inning. Texas 5, the other guys 1
Mitchell, Landry, Helenihi up for LSU

This was where they got to us back in the 2nd inning.

Robin was not vulnerable to anything, but Nolan's fist
Don't put this guy on base, Taylor
Mike Patrick says,

“Can you hand me a towel, Mitchell is up and I’m about to cream my pants”

again

patrick’s going all larry levenson over the guy

Can we get back to the game?

Or is this the Robin Ventura show?

I had assumed that we would get the shot of robin in the nolan headlock

just seemed fitting.

got Mitchell at 2, but Landry safe at 1
nice to get mitchell off the bases

Man, sooooooo close. At least Lou Brock isn’t in scoring position.

lets talk about how fat our asses are, but lets not talk about texas and how good of a comeback they're making after last nights upsetting loss
If you total up the innings Texas has been in control of the game

that provides a little different basis of comparison. LSU is not overpowering.

That's games, plural. nt
robin will now demonstrate

a. charge the mound
b. get ass kicked

where is this ump's strike zone?
WHAT A PLAY!!!
sharp double play
WOOOOOW DOUBLE PLAY!!!!! EXCELLENT FLIP!!!!!!
Great DP. Side out.
Helluva play by Tucker & Loy
4-6-3

Great play

Sweet, DP’ed ’em like they were Jesse Jane.

Haha I just read that
that was NICE!
That's a dagger ... if you're LSU
Milo Hamilton would have been busting out the blue light for that one
57 pitches for Jungmann
Rupp, Keyes, Rowe up
What? you can't get double plays against LSU. Those guys are too fast!

Texas can’t hit the long ball.
blah blah blah

Jared Mitchell was the 23rd overall pick in the draft. That’s like a double-play-free card.

espn announcers

these announcers have are waiting to annoint lsu but it’s not happening tonite and hopefully nor tomorrow

Paul, has Les tweeted you?

This is starting to get a bit ridiculous…

I for one look forward to disappointing the LSU Announcers for this game and next

No, but I’m pretty sure Paul’s kissed LM’s arse.

Err…meant to be @derrumbe.

rBr, was that you that first mentioned about that LSU catcher wearing a tie?
It looks like our guys are only willing to swing at fastballs
last hr was a breaking pitch, I think...

but seems like you’re right.

Keyes fouls down right side

Damn

This is starting to feel a lot like last night

We do well early, fade late. LSU is the opposite. I hope Jungmann can hold on.

Keyes just stopped and watched that after the hit
How do u post pictures

Click the icon that looks like a little picture of a tree. It’s right next to the link icon.

use the picture button (looks like a tree)
DAMn

so close

great catch by Landry
Hell of a catch there.
That was a really sweet catch.

Damn, that was a nice catch. Seriously.

wow that was nice. gotta hand it to the left fielder.

he’s the “fast” guy they subbed in , right?

nice play outfielder
Great

Now we’re gonna have to hear about that for the next 4 innings

Unless Rowe crushes this one
helluva catch in left 2 down

Okay Connor, let’s do it. Get that momentum.

outside but called strike.

Is this the first inning that we haven’t scored.

no last inning too
Wow, Connor K's on a strange strike zone
Generous

Just call it both ways, sir.

Was Rowe falling backwards on all those pitches?
I hope we can play consistent defense
Nola, LaMahieu, Schimpf up
Just a reminder

This is talent vs. magic. Guess we have no business leading this game and shoulda’winning yesterday.

I am so over this many lefties...seriously.
Shinaberry is our man

Oh wait.

Augie is totally staring at her tits

Awesome!

What puzzles me is how the announcers said during the pre-game that no one really expected these teams to make it to the final series. Were they effing serious? No one expected the #1-overall seed to make it? No one expected another regional/SR host to make it?

Burnt Orange. on. screen. getting dizzy.

Where am I? Did ESPN transfer control to TBS?

Augie may leave Taylor in 9 innings

I’d love it as long as he’s rolling. Let the bullpen reset for game three.

He'll be a lot more hesitant to remove the starter in this game

Definitely a different kind of weather tonight, thank heavens. That favors the team that relies more heavily on pitching.

keyes catches the fly ball for one out
Keyes makes the catch, 1 down
See how the right fielder didn't have to run?

that’s good pitching.

Keyes still in the game? :)
hit back to mound

Jungmann puts him away for 2 outs

Augie will not change anything tonight
3 up and 3 down
Shimpf flies to CF

inning over, good inning

Haha... Anyone catch LeMahieu snapping at the ump?
yea, saw that. lol
Nice inning by Jung
67 pitches for Jungmann
Clark, Loy, Torres up

Clark went yard on this guy. Let’s do it again.

Loy owes us one for his error
Tebow told them to give it to him

TJ’s mowing ’em down now. That makes six innings, one unearned run. Not bad.

Err…five innings.

And yes, I knock on wood.

single by clark
cant ask for anything else...

but we’ll take more. clark swinging the bat real well today

Mike Patrick says,

“Is Mitchell up yet, he’s better than Viagra”

Bob Dole agrees
you should see him with a tire and a football
Loy reaches way outside for a strike out
Loy Ks 1 down
espn announcers

i turned down the tv sound and went to the texassports radio feed backing up the dvr to be in sync

Damn, chased it wide. Okay, Torres whiffed last time. He’s due, right?

I will take the walk
here is our pitch
Nice hit but lands in the glove of the CF

I don’t get why Mahtook plays CF. He has so much less range and footspeed than Mitchell.

He got all of it, just not enough

Fun fact: Texas and LSU have each won a lot of championships.

Cain doing a sparkling job in relief?

Didnt he give up 3 runs at least

No, that was the second pitcher. Cain is the third LSU pitcher so far.

Cain has only given up 1 run, the homer to Preston
Nevermind, that was the 2nd guy
Tucker singles runners on the corners
runners on the corners. belt is up
Can't leave a runner on 3rd Belt
Both teams just get more dangerous with two outs
mitchell damn near misplayed that
What are you saying? That is mitchell. You know he already has one championship ring
Tim Tebow polishes his championship ring.
with a shitty throw in
Craig is making fun of Cajuns
Please walk belt and load the bases
damn. swung at ball 4
Missed opportunity...
You're killing me, Belt
belt is trying to do too much with the pitches
49 pitches for the LSU reliever
Dean, Gibbs, Mahtook up
They should show Mahtook's mom again

/I’m just saying

got a quick shot on the way to commercial
Bullshit he interfered
someone take charge of that play!!
is orel short for something?

Seriously, what’s up with that name? Of course, if he didn’t annoy the hell out of me, I wouldn’t insult him over something so petty.

nope his parents hated him that much
tagged too early!!!
hahaha

suck it tigers..

Make up for our running error earlier?
base running error. we are even
radio called that
thank you, baseball gods
Only Swampbillys need 4 letters to spell O
taylor does it again
HA! 3 up 3 down
K's!! End of inning
Man, we're playing smart and good!
backwards k for jung
i missed a couple innings..

how did they score? and it sure looks like taylor is dominating!

It was an unearned run

They got the lead off runner on and a couple of boneheaded defensive mistakes allowed him to score.

Hhhhhoooooorrrrrnnnnnsssssss!!!!!!!!!

I love this team!!!

That was a quick end to what seemed like a lot of trouble.

The baserunning error was a big dagger.

Yea it was. Important to keep them from scoring after getting the runner on
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
FFFFFIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHTTTTTTTTTT
77 pitches for Jungmann
Moldy, Rupp, Keyes up
I love this line up. Belt is out of the way and our hitters are coming up.

I like Belt, and I think he has some great potential to contribute a ton next year, but he’s been pretty cold in Omaha, hasn’t he?

now, can we get this hitchy pitcher out of here???
Taylor, you are the man!!
FFFFFFFFFFFIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Kyle Peterless
kyle's all atwitter

we need to know this , why?

stay moldy, stay keyes...

don’t pull them augie………just don’t do it

more twitter talk. the point of tweets is short comments

They are certainly using more than 140 characters to talk about it

Governor twits

I never thought aggie govs were real govs, you know.

I can switch to Craig for audio, but can't get rid of kyle twittering...

kill me now.

"cain's been impressive too."

obviously he has been down 5-1…these commentators are just pathetic

Blame it on Cain

E. Costello

Seriously, they’re all over Cain, but they’re saying nary a word about Jungmann’s sparkling performance so far.

I know...

I missed a few innings and start watching in the 4th..Taylor has been on fire, and this kid cain has been allowing hit after hit..

I wish the announcers ...

… were limited to 140 characters

ha. good one.
if he walks we might pinch run
Not with a 5-1 lead I hope
I hope he stays in

I cant stand a Lusson

Daniel Bradshaw is the new pitcher for LSU, a righty

I’m seriously annoyed to hell about the constant blathering about Twitter. It’s not just these announcers, but every effing want-to-be-high-tech doofus in the television world, and most of them in the radio world as well. Get a life, people! Twitter is for twits.

Facebook too.

They all want to be so cool and in-the-know.

So they strut around like a bunch of banty roosters doing what any kid can do much better. Back when the sub-culture was absorbed by the larger culture, the same thing happened. The society rewards self-importance in myriad ways.

My cultural comment for the night.

I like the 10 hits to 4. Remember LSU is a power team
pitcher number 5?

Awesome. They need to keep these pitchers throwing. Long at-bats, lots of at-bats, lots of pitches…tear down that bullpen for tomorrow night.

Tomorrow night. I like the way that sounds.
phew

glad that was foul

let's pray the ball girl lacks a cell phone tonite.

Keyes is really getting under these pitches.

Keyes...stop trying to hammer it...base knock buddy!

Damn…but, a man on third.

easy DP

not an amazing play like ESPN wants us to think. It was hit right to Nola

bring him home
and Keyes trots to first
no, he's just THAT slow
Yeah, like I said back in the 2nd inning ...

I wish our players would try that hard to reach first. LSU’s players believe they can beat out any throw. Our guys just give up and do the obligatory trot.

does not need to sprint there...
Rowe trying to put 2 up with one swing
not what we need...hate to think we need more, but with these mashers, you just never know.
side retired
Oh Look

LSU has a hand sign.

Don't tell me....Rigid middle finger?
haha, that kid just threw some horns....then thought about it...haha!
Mithcell, Landry, Helenihi

Gotta be careful with these guys.

Good pitch by Jungmann
Mitchell flies out
Mitchell flies out to left 1 down
mitchell gone

and the announcers are officially bored with this game

Yup. You know its bad when they are talking about Orel dancing
i was just going to say

I usually never agree with espn’s decisions to broadcast..especially with the small amount they broadcast college baseball..but this might be why..I mean imagine a boring game with these announcers…

I think they are used to covering little league. Shorter games for their short attention span
I wonder if he got to home before the ball was caught
he was already doing pullups in the texas dugout
Mitchell

Does Mitchell remind anyone else of Wesley Snipes in “Major League”?

"Going somewhere meat?"

“Bout 90 feet”

The power team

has met its match in Jungmann

another K to end the 7th
91 pitches for Jungmann
jungman is sick!!

leave him in augie…keyes too just in case!

Nice work by Jung

Jungmann’s obviously still dwelling on last night’s appearance.

He is going to realise he is a freshman any moment.

91.

h/t to bassale

Clark, Loy, Torres up
Willie Mayes Hayes

BOO-YAH!

6 outs

focus D!!!

uhhhhhhhhh......... that was odd

and highly improbable

What a catch by Nola
Speaking of willie mays
Great play by Nola

That was nice

how often do you see the SS call off the outfielders sprinting directly towards them
Willie Mays

That seemed to work. Lets try…

Hank Aaron?

Finally some effort running to first
Had to look to see he had it in his glove. Funny stuff
I think he was amazed he had it
HHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRNNNNNNNNSSSSSSSSSSSS
I work with Torres' godfather out here in Newport Beach...
stole second base
hooray

second dropped ball on a close call

Small ball. We need 1-2 more runs for insurance. C'mon Horns!

Wow, that’s twice he should’ve been out, but he got just the right break each time. Good for him.

uh, nice steal

not that the announcers took much notice

Their babbling didn’t even break stride.

need a base hit here.
Someone tweet the announcers and tell them there is a game going on
momentum stealing

Would be nice to tack on a run or two. not sensing any kind of energy or potential for momentum from the tigers … another run or two might seal the deal

ground out by torres
why do these dicks ignore the game?
cuz we're winning
cause LSU is losing
that what I thought too
because their team is losing
argh

bummer. line drive out.

Would’ve been a nice time to have an extra out.

Lined right to Mitchell
Fly out to right ends the half inning
Inning over. Time for some serious error free D!
they would rather talk about their own ancient batting averages
3rd inning in a row we've stranded a runner at 3rd
Nola, LaMahieu, Schimpf up
thanks, ESPN

we are all dumber for hearing the commentary during that half-inning.

The announcers are cramping up. Maybe we should bring in some subs to finish the game for them.
In Jung We Trust!!
ESPN better not pull any of that game changing performance nonsense before the game is over
hahaha, there it is
here they go

but at least it’s TJ

Speaking of which....

You called it :-)

nonsense pulled
They did it last night to Moldy ... we lost

Did it to ASU on Friday … they lost.

Forever Jung?
one out with a ground ball to torres
5 outs to go..
Ahh damn here we go again
grounder to Torres, 1 out
BS. That was a strike at the knees!
3 straight balls after that game changing BS
still throwing 90mph
we are currently around 600 comments short of last night's thread...

let’s pick it up!

You giving our prizes, silky? nt
FUUUUCK!!!! HOW MANY ERRORS!!!!
another E by Loy
Loy is not having his best game
Seriously, Loy did that again?
setting up the DP?

Damn Loy…trying to play yourself out of a starting job, are you?

back jungmann up loy!!! c'mon damn it!!!!!
how many groundballs just like that will he be fielding tommorrow in practice?!?!??!
He's Roger Dorn-ing evrythng
Hey, he ain't that bad. Take it back, take it back. nt
at least he didn't spike himself.
A little surprised Augie didn't pull him

If this were any other game, he would have.

and still 5 outs to go

geez, help your pitcher survive here, baby

Horns got this game...

Jung is strong…

Workman warming up
Good play by Torres
Torres is having a good game
4 outs ... let's go boys
Can we get Workman a uniform that fits?

That dude cannot keep his jersey in his pants.

he likes it loose baby
Taylor is a 1 man show tonight boys. Phenomenal.

C’mon TJ, shut the door. Polish off this shutout.

Err…not really a shutout, I guess, but an ERA shutout at least.

jungmann is the next randy johnson!!!
except a righty and only 19 years old...lol
close enough....lol
and Johnson was a Trojan. eww

Literally less than half his age. Amazing.

Also rolls sans dirty 'stache.
Jung!

MVP pitcher of the postseason!!

3 more outs to go!
3 more outs. Let's get some more runs!
haha you beat me to it
I LOVE THIS TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TRULY…I cannot recall a more deserving team than this group of young men.

106 pitches for Jungman
we have DOMINATED LSU, damn it last night! we should be dog pile'n by now...its ok, we'll do it tomorrow!!!!
just thinking the same thing
Belt, Moldy, Rupp
not Belt, Lusson, Rupp? :-)
I hope they keep Jungman in for 9. Doing just fine. Just fine.
Who is the matchup tomorrow at this point?
Green vs. Ranaudo
There is no tomorrow until tonight is over. nt
and nothing would make this horn happier than cruising around these parts with the Auto Emblem of Love
anybody else tired of that highlight of Jared Mitchell and that triple?

makes me want to vomit

I am tired of OU, LSU, USC, FL and tOSU...eff em all!
Come on belt

C’mon, Belt. Get on base.

Belt gets a solid base hit.
Good for Belt.
belt rips one to right, single
Get some insurance guys
1 more run i can go to bed
wow

Moldy is up

Keep wearing down those LSU arms
biggest moment of the game?

Aside from the bombs, the mental blunder by the LSU baserunner leaving early…huge mo shifter

Tucker's DP was big too
man e are hitting well

Geoffrey’s on base!

on paper, the pitching matchup favors them tomorrow, ASSUMING we win tonight
Molden hesitated

What? Looked safe to me!

Wow Moldy is slow!
wow...how did they turn that...serioulsy
i guess we shouldve pinch hit huh?
Not sure they did
why didnt Belt slide?
time for a solo shot

Meh, maybe not so safe.

C’mon fellas. Put something up there, just to drive the point home.

Rupp on base, baby.

one thing the horns don't have is speed
Need to recruit some football players
Rupp gets hit, 1 on, 2 down
make that a two run shot baby
Time to play some baseball
TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR!
here we go...another shot at a win...lets go
need 3 outs here
keyes grounds out

3 more outs

Okay, TJ, time to tie the bow.

darn it

down to 3 outs … i hope

Gibbs, Mahtook, Mitchell up
ok boys...ley us pray
i would love to see him pitch a complete game

Complete game, and zero earned runs. That’d be a pristine performance against the much-applauded LSU offense.

Finish this Jung!!
Jung out for the CG
should be 5-0...
TEEEEEEXXXXXAAAAASSSSSS!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEXXXXXXXXXXAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSS
FFFFFFFFFIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHTTTTTTTTTTT
FIGHT!!!!!!!!!1
Still throwing low 90s
JUST THROW THAT ALL INNING

Why don’t the LSU chicks paint their chests?

Mike Patrick says,

“Mitchell get’s a chance at the special 4 run moneyball.”

What does that even mean?!?`I

Guess I’m not smart enough to understand his super-cool lingo.

About now is when I start grinding my teeth
Green up in the pen?

Little bit of loosening for tomorrow night. He won’t appear.

damn, single by micah
DP to steal mother Momentum
0-1 count to Mahtook
We need to turn a DP. right here, right now.
not so much for Mahtook's Mom
stay with the heat
pitch it outside
got the K!!
good pitch call, love it
Got HIm

Should have thrown that pitch last night

94mph w 115 pitches.....amazing

This kid’s an ace.

K by jungmann
2 more, pleaase
Jungman make his mama cry
here come the lefties, like 4 in a row?
won''t go that far
that was the pitch last night we needed againt mahtok
That crowd does sound crazy

Wish I could hear more Texas Fight

more LSU fans for sure...why is that...
great stop by Rupp

1-0

Double up Mr. Rickey Henderson, please.

Man, I hope he gets the complete game...

TWO OUTS TO GO!

1st dp on mitchell would be fitting

Phew…too close.

they have not been close against THE MAN
LSU brought a lot of fans...

…apparently a lot of them forgot their shirts.

HAHAHA

Damn

so close

yessuh...too close indeed
WOW

That guy must run a 3.8 40

THERES YOUR SPEED ESPN>>>>SUCK IT PRICKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Torres guns him down!

Les Miles

Jackass

Les Miles is a queef.
damn ... one more

Great out on the cocky Mitchell

Les is PISSED!!
that's what 7-5 does to the hairline

And this time it’s not about his crappy coaching.

mitchell to busy calling himself safe instead of running
I would be pissed if I was FL's bitch too
ONE OUT TO GO!
TTTEEEXXXAAASSS!!!
damn that was the game
FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU
do not hit the ball to loy hit it to torres please
who cares about the runner on third
one more strike please

Last strike, damnit!

That is game!
if Jung can get this last out without giving up a run...

he’ll [likely] finish the season with an ERA under 2.

Nailed him! TEXAS WINS!

HHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRNNNNNNNNSSSSSSSSSSSS
STRUCK him out for the win!!!! NICE
We're Texas.
HOOK 'EM HORNS BABY...YES!!!! TTTTTTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEXASSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!
1 game to a title
hell of job by jungman
The Eyes of Texas>The Eye of the Tiger

This kind of performance is exactly what Texas needed to have the pitching ready for tomorrow night. Let’s hope the LSU pitchers are still feeling it tomorrow.

TOLD YA'LL I WASN'T HERE MONDAY.....AND WE LOST, I'LL BE BACK TOMORROW FOR A SURE, BUT TOUGH WIN.
0.58 ERA that is sick
GOT HIM SWINGIN!
Jungmann = Clutch

After throwing the bullpen for a loop last night, this complete game comes with some epic timing.

Showdown elimination game. It’s more exciting this way.

Drama Baby. Drama.

2009 Longhorns. The team of Destiny

Tomorrow, tomorrow, the Horns make it tomorrow. nt
So.... Cole Green? I hope he's our best hope to start the do-or-die game.

In the meantime, HOOK EM HORNS!

Jungmann is the MVP of this tournament so far for Texas
Time to rejoice, relax, and let them shake in their boots a little bit....Cole Green, FTW!
F*** all the LSU hype. Texas is the better team.

Look at that daunting LSU run production machine.

hookem

goodnite gang
hopefully patrick and the gang will realize #1 Texas Lonhorns are here to win this thing.

helluva job

jungmann was awesome, and this team rebounded nicely from what could have been a demoralizing loss last night. good job to all.

Great rebound for Jungmann

In many ways, his ineffective outing yesterday really set the tone for our eventual collapse. But today, he was just money.

I really feel like we should have already won this whole thing. I think we’ve outplayed LSU these past two games; we just gave away Game 1 and wasted an excellent performance from Ruffin. Oh well; we got our chance tomorrow.

I have to admit I was mad when I saw TJ walking out there last night. Should’ve been straight to DiCharry, Shinaberry, or even Workmann. TJ’s is an ace, but you don’t bring in Dave Stewart to do Dennis Eckersley’s job.

Texas Wins! Texas Wins!

1 more left. Let’s do this!

This makes Win #50

Like the sound of that

51 sounds a bit nicer. ; )
Woo!
