Burnt Orange Nation

And a Happy Strasburg Eve everybody!

Tomorrow should definately be a happy day for you.

My Rangers will be in the tank by the end of the year but not low enough to get the high draft pick. DAMN mediocrity!!!

Tomorrow might be great

But it’ll be a while before he’s signed

No doubt.

Sad too because as a pitcher this has all the characteristics of being phenom in college and washout in majors. Texas has one on its roster now in Benson.

Ok, rightfully so Texas Wahoo has...

pointed out I’m Mr. Negative when it comes to the baseball team( I blame the last few years of heartbreak). So I’ll turn the tables and be very optimistic for a change……no negative comments from me tonight.

This team will get the job done tonight………..can’t wait!!

College World Series just wouldn’t be complete this year without Texas. Should be fun with LSU and Arkansas in the mix……..i hope we get a matchup with both.

Hook em!!

Has it started yet?

OHGODI’MNERVOUS!

hornbone - June 8, 2009 reply

Starting now

I'm gonna say it now...

I think we’d sweep Visigoth State

gotta look out for the axes tho

keep it down big man

and off the middle of the plate

Audio feed not working? Any other links?

http://www.justin.tv/brbjones

video

its on espn2

lets go horns!

1 out...deep fly to center...easy catch by rowe

Nice first out

what a catch by Keyes

Great grab!

awesome.

risky but sweet

2 down

Let's go Jungman...

get that ball down…he’s left some pitches up and got away with it.

Thats how solo shots become 2 run homers

Damn

Would’ve enjoyed a 1-2-3 inning, but I’d rather give up a walk than a long ball to Carpenter

http://www.justin.tv/brbjones

is that avery johnson commentating??

haha eric young

worse.... eric young.

i was listening to him the last few games.. but didnt think he sounded much like him until now

Boom!

hell yea K for jungmann

strikeout!

lets bring on the bats!

It's a good sign that he could manage that with Carpenter 45 feet off first

it says he between 84 and 89 mph

but he blew it by verne twice.

nice. Bring on the bunt

lockwood is quick to first

sacrifice torres to second one away

hell yea

WooHoo.

Triple to dead center.

JohnsonUT - June 8, 2009 reply

Thataboy, Giraffe.

belt triples 1-0 'Horns

YES

2-0

Great start.

JohnsonUT - June 8, 2009 reply

slow grounder to second plates belt 2-0 Texas 2 outs

can't watch, working, thanks for the updates!

sounds like our bats have been awakened? f yes.

horns23 - June 8, 2009 reply

KEYYYYEEES home run

HR Keyes!

3-0 Horns!

CRUSHED

JohnsonUT - June 8, 2009 reply

3-0 'Horns

BEAUTIFUL

home run!

keyes!

Kevin F'in Keyes

Why wait til late? nt

take a visit to souvenir city baby

Kevin talking trash to the pitcher. Love it!

Homerun!

Woot, 3 point lead in the first .

Darklust - June 8, 2009 reply

ground out 6-3 3-0 'Horns to the second

Keyes hit that ball so far

I wish we could get a distance on that

Maybe we could get Eric Young to walk it off and tell us

I wonder what the deal is with Keyes jawing with TCU. They must be talkin some trash to him

poteet76 - June 8, 2009 reply

This sucks

I am having to “watch” the game on GameTracker at work…dumb! Hopefully the highlights are on ESPN late tonight so I can see Keyes HR.

http://www.justin.tv/brbjones

Grounder to Tucker 1 down

Its amazing

how much faster it is watching here, than on GameTracker…Thank you all for the quick updates!

me too, kirk, me too.

got some stares when I “YES!”ed out loud and fist pumped upon “seeing” the homerun.

horns23 - June 8, 2009 reply

http://www.justin.tv/brbjones

Thanks for the link

but I work on a AF base and its unfortunately blocked.

I don't know if you guys can hear it,

but there is someone close to the mic talking smack to TCU. He asked them what they do in Ft. Worth during the summer

lol

Yea been hearing that guy all game

Hey now...

FW, isnt that bad… it could be worse, like Lubbock or College Station…

LadyLonghorn - June 8, 2009 reply

haha true. very true

OH BOY

Lubbock? Try Abilene…Grew up there. Atleast there are bars in Lubbock.

Yeah

Always makes me laugh when Aggy talks about how much Lubbock sucks. As if College Station is a thriving metropolis.

Workman and the Austins better get warm

They are taking Taylor to some deep counts. Not sure how many innings we’re going to get.

K for taylor

2 down

grounder to loy ends the inning. Middle 2 3-0 Texas

Clark grounds out to third. One away

Frogs already sending their closer to the pen

Are they really talking about why they call him donkey?

walk to Rupp one on one out

Rowe flys out to center. 2 down

Torres strikes out looking. on to the third still 3-0 Horns

dmit. Okay, keep it rolling, Jungmann.

If he is 235 I am blind

Liner to Clark 1 down

What a player Clark has been

Really hope we can get this done for him

K for Jungmann 2 down

Clock speeds announced on the radio are 6 mph faster than TV is showing

TV flashed a 90 mph fastball; did you hear a 96-mph fastball on the second K of the inning?

Maybe different guns. Sounds like one needs to be calibrated.

Yes

Craig and Keith (he’s back from the UNC series) said 96

Another K ends the inning. middle of 3 3-0 Horns

“the anticipation of you striking out is killing us corey!”

Haha thats what he said..

Couldn’t understand it. Did you hear when he said “Don’t eat it” to the DH?

lol he’s been talking shit all game…

Jungmann is feeling it

Hope the offense can keep pouring it on. TCU ain’t gonna disappear.

He's really changing speeds and moving the around well. nt

Great game so far

My 76 year old father just started using a computer. I sent him the justin.tv link and have been checking in on the cell phone with him. Couldn’t be more happy. He was in Omaha for the 2005 Championship. Hook ‘em y’all

That is awesome.

My parents still are not computer literate

My mom is

Dad still thinks the internet is an inanimate object. My mom got it at home several years back, and he asked how big it was and where she was going to put it.

That is awesome.

I could see my dad saying the same thing

My dad emailed the other day

this computer thing just might catch on one of these days.

Damn, Jungmann’s really in the zone. Keep it coming, young man.

Tucker flys out to center 1 down

Giraffe got hit in the leg. One on one out

6-4-3 DP ends the inning on to the 4th. 3-0

I hope 3 runs is enough

I hope it’s enough, but that it’s not all UT ends up getting.

Same here

Just starting to feel some deja vu about the offense from yesterday.

Check swing roller to Jungmann 1 down

Grounder to second 2 down

Jungmann has thrown 60 pitches

NeTexHorn

again, thanks for the updates. Im still seeing the first batter of the inning on GT

no problem

at home with a beer, least I can do

2-2 to Vern

I just realized

This is the first inning of this whole series that I haven’t held my breath for their 2-3-4 hitters.

Nice to see those guys up

with the bases empty.

Or leading off the inning

Backwards K for Jungmann ends the top of the 4th

Awesome strikeout

2 strikes for the price of one

Frogs have had 1 baserunner

I can deal with that.

Jungmann 5 K retired 10 straight

Keyes to lead it off

Full count to Keyes

I looked away, and wifey clicked away during the commercial, so I missed it. WTF is a backwards strikeout? What happened?

Backwards K = strike out looking

Keyes double 1 on no outs

They’re definitely fulfilling that leadoff hitter point.

What a shot by Keyes

He is hammering the ball tonight

strikeout looking

Is Wood available to pitch tonight?

He only threw a third yesterday so I figure he still has 13 innings left in him for today, right?

For sure

Everyone should be available tonight. I think we’ll see Workman, possibly Dicharry, before Wood.

I would think so. He has had a whole week to rest

pass ball advances Keyes to third still 0 outs

Keyes is trying to get picked off third

Ground out to short holds keyes at third 1 down

Take him out Leave him in Take him out Leave him in

Lockwood is chased

“TAKE HIM OUT!”
“LEAVE HIM IN!”
“TAKE HIM OUT!”
“LEAVE HIM IN!”
“TAKE HIM OUT!”
“LEAVE HIM IN!”

Same guy

yelling that on TV?

Yea they are hilarious.

They talk about everyone

lol ya.. loud hecklers

Announcers should give the mic to those guys

either that or just shut up and let us listen to them

Sounded to me like he was saying, “Mickey Mouse!”

TCU changing pitchers

Keyes remains on third 1 down

Marshall is really good when he's on

Hope we can get some insurance here.

That TCU pitcher threw about a million pitches, if you count the pickoff attempts.

Eric Marshall in for TCU (closer)

Preston Clark up

Clark strikes out swinging 2 down

Back from the gym

Needless to say I got a few looks

Gotta get this run home

Damn, Marshall is on

YESSS Rupp doubles

RUPP!

YES indeed

4-0 Texas 2 down bottom 4

Nice double!

Keep it rolling, ’Horns.

That left fielder was not in a hurry to get after that ball

sweet

C'mon Connor!

Make it 5-0!

2-0 to Rupp

Mean Rowe

Attaboy Cam!

Damn, he wanted that one

Great pitch

Maybe we've got Marshall shaken up a bit

He won’t last another 5 innings anyway.

Yess Base hit scores Rupp 5-0

YESSIR!

Awesome

I love it

when our bats are working.

Sweet

We will not be denied.

The power of Stubbs compels you!

I am so glad

you said that name, I was sitting here killing myself trying to remember Drew’s name…

A former Atlanta Rabbit!

He grew up 10 miles down the road

in Atlanta. He used to kill the ball and always played great D

Was born in Atlanta NeTexHorn

No shit

I was born in Linden.

Home town of Don Henley! Know it well.

HaHa yup and not much else.

After 7 years in Little Rock I ended up back in Texarkana

Cool. I am in Bossier City, La., casino capital of the south!

Know it well

cant keep my wife off the boardwalk :)

Evidently his power has tappered off

More of a slap hitter now

http://redlegnation.com/2009/05/13/drew-stubbs-update/

Interesting Stubbs update from about a month ago

Pour it on boys

2-0 to Torres

Torres grounds out to second. 5-0 Horns to the 5th

Nice play by the TCU 2B

5-0 through 4

Torres

had a nice stroke even if it was a ground out.

Texas looking strong

Keyes is tearing it up!

Really? No-hitter going? What’s a no-hitter? Who’s Jungmann?

There goes the NoNo

Single to right 1 on no outs

Why on earth would people mention the word no-hitter?

C’mon

Seriously

Friggers had to jinx it.

Rowe getting his stubbs on. Fly out to center 1 down

That was very Stubbs-ish

Great grab by Connor!

Nice catch Rowe

YESSIR!

6-4-3!

6-4-3 DP ends the top of the 5th

Halfway to Omaha!

Classic 643.

Crap

NTN is, um, a little ahead of me.

Around 75 pitches for Jungmann

76 to be exact

Not bad for a freshman who is not nervous

Marshall out

Cragin in to pitch for TCU

New pitcher for Frogs

Open the proverbial flood gates

Did it to me again. You must be Dr. Moriarty.

single to center for Tucker

“Open the proverbial floodgates.”

lol ya

That dude is killing me.

damn. i wish 360.com wasn't lagging...

I was just laughing hysterically at that…

jacobb23 - June 8, 2009 reply

Leadoff man on

Here comes the SAC

Or not

No sac up 5

I hope

I dunno

Considering our record when scoring 6+ and the fact that it would almost ensure a Keyes AB this inning

Belt swinging away

Craig and Keith said there are fans watching from McCombs Field

Nice.

2-2 to giraffe

Damn

Belt strikes out swinging 1 down

Moldy lines out to 3rd

Smoked that one

Just right at him

yea he was right on it. sad it was right at 3rd

Keyes up

Keyes rung up looking 3 down. 5-0 Horns

Keyes Ks on 3 pitches

Oy

Let down by Keyes

He's earned at least one let down for tonight

No argument with that

twas why it was a letdown

8-9-1 hitters up for Frogs

Need another good inning from Jungmann. Way too early to relax.

Yup, critical three batters

Need to get out before seeing vern/carpenter again

Definately. Don't need the bottom of the order setting the table

Did anyone else just see the Billy D and Urban Meyer commercial on the stream with mini-Noah?

mattyj - June 8, 2009 reply

3-1, big pitch here

Dicharrry and wood up in the pen

Might be getting time for the pen

Dicharry and Wood warming

I think we’re 3 more outs from Wood territory

i'd like watching wood in

Liches - June 8, 2009 reply

Big ass DH single to right one on 0 outs

He looked so happy

It was his first hit of series. nt

Jungmann hits the next batter 2 on

Curry=John Kruk

That didn't hit the bat?

Looked like it to me because he didnt respond until the umpire said something

I think it hit the bat

This ain't good

Um, no, bs

Least we know they are not running

1. Shallow flyout.
2. Hard grounder, double play.

You get a sticker for throwing to the right base? wtf

Only if you hit the cutoff man

That was a foul??

Just barely

grounder to jungmann gets force out on third

Hey, that's every bit as good as a shallow fly.

Now the double play.

Would've prefered the DP there

Although hard to argue with the decision

I think this sets Jungmann up better to pitch his way out of the jam than if the runner had advanced to third.

With power hitters coming up

really rather have 1 on and 2 outs vs 2 on & 1 out

Heh. I’m prescient!

Or you just turn the DP and get out of it

Yeh

not that bad the out at third

Dangerous 3-1 coming

YESSIR!

DP ends the inning

Sweeeet DP

Outstanding!

That is the way you do that.

what a BAMF

Taylor was just practicing the first go-round

perf!

The freshman has ice water in his veins!

I thought taylor threw it away at first. Damn then loy appeared in the picture

Frosh to Frosh

The future is bright!

Now around 95 pitches, think Jungmann might be done

Yea

Might see Dicharry for a few outs then Wood time

Loy strikes out. 1 down

Maybe Clark's final home AB

That's kinda sad

Yup. Be nice to see him end it with a hit

9 more outs

E.Y.? That’s kinda sacrilegious in these parts

Dicharry now?

One would think

Although Jungmann has handled Vern and Carpenter nicely so he may come back for an out or two

Austin Wood time

O/U on 15 takes to film that segment?

Love them pop ups. nt

strike out for the 2nd out of the inning

K

Carpenter pops up weakly

Vern Ks…two HUGE outs

He should be arrested for that change-up

Thats robbery

Zing!

Austin gives me wood

Fly out to center end of the top of 7

Flyout to Rowe ends the inning

5-0 through 6.5…6 more outs to Omaha

How do you spell relief?

Top of the order up

Fly out to center 1 down

Torres flies out

1 away, would love to add one more run

yup

be nice to get it to 6

29-1-1 when scoring 6+

I knew there was a reason,

just couldn’t put my finger on it :)

Fly out to center 2 down

CF for TCU pretty consistent

Fly out ends the innning. Top of 8 we go

5 pitch inning?

i hope that gets fixed

Been off and on all year

I guess they were keeping Wood warm.

Maitland in for Clark in left

Who said TCU shouldn't be here?

They hosted a regional as a 1-seed

Coach probably made that up

I'm new to this

but why isn’t the pitcher batting? I thought DH was just an AL thing.

Always a DH in college

Unless your 1B catches a ball of the chin and is replaced by your DH, then you give up the DH and your pitcher bats

Actually, only NL has pitchers hit

Caradoc - June 8, 2009 reply

E3

Grounder to loy and Giraffe can't handle the throw. 1 on no outs

Belt shoulda had that

yup off the end of the glove

I think they're just playing the typical underdog card

Nobody who has been paying attention thinks TCU shouldn’t be here.

Double play wipes out the error two down

Yessir

5-4-3!

He was just setting up the DP

Belt, that is.

Just looked for the Nats score...

They didn’t play! What a night!

Almost as good as a win?

I'll take 162 DNPs

Over 45-117

At least you're getting that phenom pitcher

Hyperspeed Giraffe knew a grounder to third was next

Damn good thing for that double play

Single to right runners on first and third two down

Come on Wood

Get us out of this

That had to be on the corner

he was going for the corner

sorry

blasphemy sir

those are hallowed words

That was a strike

Base hit to center scores one for TCU 5-1

Oy

C’mon Austin…one more out!

Get Dicharry up

I think Wood can get out of this, but Dicharry needs to be ready for the 9th.

Ask and ye shall receive

Dicharry up in the Texas pen

Agreed

Austin has struggled a few times this year, if Featherston gets a hit there might be trouble

TCUnis

Purple jerseys with white armpits?

Caradoc - June 8, 2009 reply

Ground out of the season

Grounder to Belt ends the inning

5-1 Texas bottom of 8th

There you go

Wood on for the 9th?

I would bring him back out

It’s his last home game.

But have Dicharry ready to go.

Absolutely

You might have to kill him to take the ball from him

Haha true.

Damn you gotta respect that desire

yea me too

Kid has earned the right

Now Vern and Carpenter can take solo homers and not destroy us

BTW, that RBI single was the first non-homer RBI for TCU all series

The guy who just scored for TCU....

Is one of my good friends. Glad he got to hit in such a big game, and glad he did well. As long as it doesn’t affect us :).

Longhorn11 - June 8, 2009 reply

Congrats

Wish him nothing but the best…next year

Haha

Would agree, except that he’s a senior.

Longhorn11 - June 8, 2009 reply

Moldy strikes out. 1 down

This Frog pitcher has done a number on us

Keyes is swinging for the fence

Keyes pops out to left 2 down

Loy flies out to center. end of the 8th.

3 outs, y'all

3-4-5 hitters up

And Wood back out.

Progressive chick, hot or not?

hmmm would hit... I think

3 more outs!

Including two very tough ones

Fisted to Tucker 1 down

"What a great standing ovation a few moments ago when the Longhorns took the field"

Eric Young: “And all of them were on their feet”

Line of the Super!

Dos mas, hombres

2 mas fuera

Liches - June 8, 2009 reply

I missed innings 7 and 8.

Did TCU go yard?

mattyj - June 8, 2009 reply

Almost just did

Vern triples

Nope, off the top of the wall; it's a triple.

Garfield3d - June 8, 2009 reply

No - Jungmann tired a little

realmccoy - June 8, 2009 reply

Triple to deep center. 1 down man on third

Yikes

Kinda wish it'd left the yard

Not so pretty

Rowe lost his inner stubbs

want change-up

Base hit to right 5-2

err left

TCU A Gutty team

realmccoy - June 8, 2009 reply

Oy

Hitting Wood hard, one more DP!

chingas domingas

I'm all for Wood, but he's getting hit by everyone on TCU.

Good move to throw Dicharry at this point.

Oh, Ruffin in my bad.

Damn

Gotta be careful here. Sucks Wood couldn’t finish it, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

Wouldn't be shocked to see Ruffin warming up

And here he is

And there he is

mattyj - June 8, 2009 reply

That is almost scarry

Wow

Ruffin in

Pitching change Ruffin coming in to finish up

wonderful standing O for Wood

Good call to take out Wood...

even the outs he got were hit hard

Ruffin not the best out of the pen

Hope he’s got a short rope

Ruffin time!

Wonder if Augie will get blasted for this

Only if it doesn't work

realmccoy - June 8, 2009 reply

Wood for 13 innings worked

C’mon 6-4-3!

haha so true

horns23 - June 8, 2009 reply

Depends

on the outcome of the game, I wish he would have thrown Wood against leadoff and brought Dicharry in to face the next two righties, but I understand Wood is a Sr…
