The Horns accomplished more when Preston Clark's ball left the infield than they had since 2005. Now the Horns face a TCU squad which sailed through its regional (3-0). TCU is 39-16 on the year and is one of those teams that does everything well but few things exceptionally. They hit (team BA .312), they pitch (team ERA 4.15 -- good for #16 nationally), and they play defense (.968 fielding percentage) -- although be on the lookout for SS Taylor Featherson and his 26 errors. It may sound basic, but the team that does the little things right this weekend will probably be headed to Omaha.
TCU is a squad that has beaten Cal State Fullerton (2 of 3 in Fullerton), San Diego State and Ole Miss and fought OU, Baylor and A&M hard. TCU has already been to Austin this season (a 6-0 Horns win) and TCU got a brief look at Austin Dicharry, Cole Green, Taylor Jungmann and Brandon Workman, all likely to throw this weekend at some point.
TCU's greatest weakness may be the lack of a go-to pitcher. Paul Gerrish, Kyle Winkler, and Tyler Lockwood have been solid all year but don't put the fear in you that AJ Morris or Stephen Strasburg do. But TCU's starting pitching combined to pitch 22 innings during the regional and closer Eric Marshall has been as spectacular with a 1.30 ERA in 22 appearances. TCU will probably also throw reliever Trent Appleby (3.05 ERA and 56 IP in 23 appearances) a time or two this weekend
The Horned Frogs hitters are more or less the same as their pitchers (very solid if unspectacular). The best of the bunch are 1B Matt Vern (.363, 15 HR, .465 OBP) and 3B Matt Carpenter (.335, 9 HR, .475 OBP). Only C Bryan Holaday has a BA below .300 and he is second on the team in HR.
Baseball America has a great preview, full of quotes about both sides. The keys to a Texas victory (as it has been all year): get leadoff men on, score a few runs against the starters, keep playing good defense, and pitch well.
Saturday, June 6
Game 1 (5 p.m. Central; ESPNU): Probably Chance Ruffin vs. Kyle Winkler
Sunday, June 7
Game 2 (2 p.m. Central; ESPN): Probably Taylor Jungmann vs Paul Gerrish
Monday, June 8 (if necessary)
Game 3 (noon or 6 p.m. Central; ESPN/ESPN2): Probably Cole Green vs. Tyler Lockwood

Results from yesterday
Ole Miss beat UVA in 10
LSU beat Rice in a slugfest
Arkansas beat FSU
Cal State Fullerton beat Louisville 12-0 (CSF starter through a 3 hitter complete game, threw under 100 pitches…learn to take some pitches)
40AS - June 6, 2009
TCU might have played the Big 12 teams tough,
but they only have a win to show for it — 1-6. Does that mean that Texas is going to easily take the first two games from them? Of course not, particularly since each game came during the middle of the week, so none of the Big 12 teams (I would guess) saw any of the TCU weekend starters. The only win came against Texas Tech, one of the few Big 12 teams not to make a regional appearance and lost to Baylor and Oklahoma twice.
Strangely, they played San Diego State six times and split the series, 3-3, while they only appear to have gotten one of three games in against Ole Miss, which they won.
Wescott Eberts (GoBR) - June 6, 2009
I hope the TCU game
…. is more exciting than these afternoon session snooze-fests! And I mean exciting in a good way.
They’re all three like 2-1 in the 5th! It’s like watching paint dry…..
patienthornsfan - June 6, 2009
"He looks like a guy who would be playing point guard for Texas in the winter."
Hmmm, are you reading this Rick?
patienthornsfan - June 6, 2009
UVA comes back in the bottom of the 8th to score two and send that series to a game three
And then FSU comes back in the top of the 9th to take the lead only to lose the game in the bottom of the 9th. Arkansas is the first to make it to Omaha.
Texas Wahoo - June 6, 2009
Wow
Arkansas failed to hold 2 run lead in the top of the 9th to allow Seminoles to pull ahead 8-7. Then Arky up in bottom of 9th, one strike out, walk, single, then massive clutch hit to left center sends Hogs to Omaha for first time since 2004. Clutch for clutch.
horndude - June 6, 2009
ESPN
Anybody else catch the fact that Ole Miss-Texas (our last super appearance) was the second highest rated college baseball game ever? Makes sense then that ESPN would put our first game on ESPNU.
40AS - June 6, 2009
Thanks for the write-up 40.
My internet is weird and I don’t have espnu, so I’m going to a buddy’s and maybe a bar to watch the game. Hook em and you boys have fun!
SneezyBeltran - June 6, 2009
The Florida/USM game...
looks like it will go on too long to see the start of our game on ESPNU
Texas Wahoo - June 6, 2009
They had a rain delay...?
Bot 4, maybe they’ll put us on ESPN Classic…if anybody’s got ideas for viewing online please post ’em
40AS - June 6, 2009
There was a rain delay earlier with USM up 2-0
They’re back playing now (top 5th).
BTW – Louisville is no match for CSF…
Texas Wahoo - June 6, 2009
They went up there swinging last night
Which is just suicide against a good pitching team like CSF
40AS - June 6, 2009
They did have a rain delay
in the 3rd. I don’t have “The U” so please post online stream if you find one. I’m looking now.
FYI ESPN TV is broadcasting different games on HD than SD.

USM batting around in the top of the 5th

Texas Wahoo - June 6, 2009
Online stream?
This is looking like a possibility. Scroll down to 6PM EDT. Our is the only game with that start time, so it may be there. Doesn’t appear to work with Firefox though.
2 out double for LSU. Top of 2nd, but Rice tagged out next batter at first after bad throw by SS. Still 1-0 Swampcats.

1st and 2nd no outs for Belt!
No bunting please
Texas Wahoo - June 6, 2009
Am working on a piece for next week if we advance
But this season statistically we have scored much better when we bunt than when we don’t in these situations
40AS - June 6, 2009
Even when Belt is facing a righty?
Texas Wahoo - June 6, 2009
Not sure about that
It probably reflects how few real bats we have in the lineup, although Belt is certainly the best we’ve got so I don’t know how the stats play out
40AS - June 6, 2009
Then a suicide squeeze ties the score for Rice
Great bunt and he beat it out to first for a single
40AS - June 6, 2009

It’s going to be a tough sign, but I think he’ll sign because:
a) he can’t move up in the draft
b) by going back he is risking an injury

TCU has clearly heard about the giraffe’s hyper speed

TCU has yet to have anyone on to bunt over

Next time Augie sacrifices with 2 outs, we'll talk

6 sac bunts this game
6 free outs given away

One of those numbers is wrong

40AS - June 6, 2009
Anyone know anything about TCU's bullpen?
Texas Wahoo - June 6, 2009
They've got one "ace" reliever
And this ain’t it…that’s about all I know, I think the bullpen is solid but nothing to write home about
40AS - June 6, 2009
I hear yeh 40AS the Fullerton coach has already beat us when he was at UC Irvine its Augie is like the whole Kevin Bacon 9 degree thing Becasue the coach at fullerton was George Hortons assistant and Horton was Augies Assistant

40AS - June 6, 2009
Leadoff runner on three times tonight
Leading to four of our runs
40AS - June 6, 2009
that's funny that you said that because
baseball america’s preview talked about texas not being able to do that
HornsRiverine - June 6, 2009
When we've been shut down offensively it's because we don't get the leadoff man on
But isn’t that every team?
40AS - June 6, 2009
Rice can't make anything happen
Top 9, 5-3 Tigers

That sentence applies to the series as a whole.

The whataburger commercial is making me hungry

Texas Wahoo - June 6, 2009
dude do not talk about whatburger
i have not had it since ’02. the closest one to hear is in georgia
HornsRiverine - June 6, 2009
I lived five years without a Whataburger
that’s why I moved back.
horndude - June 6, 2009
my wife did bring me some back from georgia last year
it was two days old, but i did not care.

Yeah, ESPN says TCU/UT; UVA/Miss. Of course, here in loser ACC country, we’ll see that UVA crap. Sucks like OU.

Don't be too hard on UVA
They’re building a good program in baseball – and I love their field. Great place to watch a game.

it's not uva that bothers me
it is stupid va tech that i cannot stand

god i hate being in the acc country.
actually virginia is not acc country, it is virginia tech country. uva barely even got a mention about being in it’s first ever super regional and playing for it’s first birth in the cws. but if va tech were playing i guarantee they would not shut up about it here.
HornsRiverine - June 6, 2009
Not a lot of "Virginians" at UVA
I went their for grad school – not many natives.
Texas Wahoo - June 6, 2009
i did not know that
charlottesville is beautiful though. love the valley and river. going to try and make it up there for some more camping this summer
HornsRiverine - June 6, 2009
I try to get back down there when I can - beautiful country
Except for the speed traps – damn Madison County…
Texas Wahoo - June 6, 2009
I think that’s because UVA grad school seems to draw from NOVA, which is very heavily populated by transplants. Heck, I don’t know more than a handful of native Marylanders ‘round these parts, and I think I knew of just one Marylander and one DCer in my entire master’s program in DC.
burntorangehorn - June 6, 2009
The undergrad seems like that too though.
Lots of northerners
Texas Wahoo - June 6, 2009
As far as baseball, sure you’re right that VT is much bigger than UVA. But in basketball, which is by far the sport of choice in VA, UVA rules the state’s interest.
I’d like to point out, though, that VT is in the ACC, so whether we’re talking VT or UVA, VA is ACC country when it comes to baseball.
burntorangehorn - June 6, 2009
uva is better than vt overall in athletics period.
if it were not for the football team at va tech nobody would even know about va tech.
HornsRiverine - June 6, 2009
UVA gets crazy about their Lacrosse
Big crowds
Texas Wahoo - June 6, 2009
I’ll be honest: I had never actually met anyone who played lacrosse until I moved to MD.
burntorangehorn - June 6, 2009
supposedly it is getting a big following down
in texas now. but i am the same way i did not know lacrosse was played at lower levels than college until i got here in va.
HornsRiverine - June 6, 2009
Know what shocked me that it had so many people following it? Crew rowing. I mean, wow. My training facilitator’s son is the coach for a DC catholic school that just won the national high school championship. I don’t think there is such a thing as crew at the HS level anywhere west of the Atlantic states.
burntorangehorn - June 6, 2009
I was walking through Foggy Bottom the other day and the river was full of crew boats
Texas Wahoo - June 6, 2009
I go kayaking a bit here in Columbia, but I don’t think I’ve actually seen any crew activity out here. The only times I think I’ve ever seen it were the Wichita State team when I was in HS and the time my wife had me watch Sliding Doors with her.
burntorangehorn - June 6, 2009
Westlake HS
has both Crew and Lacrosse, if I’m not mistaken. It’s even west of the Colorado River. ;-)

burntorangehorn - June 6, 2009

Texas Wahoo - June 6, 2009

All varsity players are required to wear monocles on game days.
burntorangehorn - June 6, 2009

Texas Wahoo - June 6, 2009
And I don’t think many had even heard of VT until Vick’s freshman season.
burntorangehorn - June 6, 2009
that is very true
especially being down here in the hampton roads area, they talk about him as the prodical son. david wright to.

horndude - June 6, 2009
Do we still bring in Wood?
with a 6 run lead?
Texas Wahoo - June 6, 2009
I'd guess not
My guess is Ruffin will pitch until he gets in trouble, then Dicharry will come in
40AS - June 6, 2009
Dicharry shut down TCU midweek, I wouldn't pitch him too long
Texas Wahoo - June 6, 2009
Another inning from Ruffin would be ideal
40AS - June 6, 2009
I think it’d make sense to give another kid a shot unless the score tightens up a lot. Definitely use him tomorrow, though. Keep him sharp.
Anyone else seeing this 12EducationMatching.com commercial? Delicious.

not too many pitches and he’s been great

But he has been consistently solid every start and occasionally great…huge to have as a Friday starter
