TEXAS GAME THREAD - Madden vs Harding

[Dawg2003]

The fact that TA is in a slump worries me for our chances.

We really had everything go our way in this CWS until tonight. Heck, UVA outhit us 12-6 and we still won. Bednar had the performance of a lifetime in the opener and we only had 5 hits. Got to get the offense going.

Which is what the most frustrating part is. Outside of one inning our approach at the plate has been terrible

Watch the steal

[Bdawg]

If we can keep this guy from scoring I guarantee we at least make the Longhorn fans nervous before this ends.

I'm about ready to see it here.

Rex was right. Should've thrown Bednar. Oh but the naysayers will say "how do you know he would've repeated that performance". Well, you don't but Madden damn sure repeated his. Even if we were to win tomorrow night our chances of winning a n/c are low. Oh, but we have a ton of elite, power arms, right?

Lol no he wasn't

Agree this is one thing that could not happen but has.

[Rex54]

Assuming we win tomorrow which I do.... you have Mac and then Hootie and Bednar on 3 days rest.

I think you hope Mac finds something deep in him and we steal a win vs Vandy's #3.

Do you then think about starting PJ Game 2 and going right to Sims?

Tanner quit being selective. He's helping people get him out by chasing shit pitches out of the zone

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Seems every reliever from other schools come in throwing 95. Besides Sims, seem like we hover around 90 with our guys.

I swear PJ used to sit at 94, B smith used to sit 93, and Stinnett used to sometimes hit 96. They all seem slower now than then.

Fact is this staff is 1 good starter (who's had his share of bad starts), 1 elite reliever, and nobody else is really above average. Like we can piece together a good 7 inning stretch with the pen but it's using a ton of guys who barely make it out of innings, we don't have a guy to go 4-5 like everyone else seems too. There's no Mitchell or Girodo, only Sims who's shaky after 3

[KOdawg1]

Well, there's a start. Gotta keep it going

[BeardoMSU]

LFG! Lead off double from TA. C'mon Kam!

[msstate7]

Tanner Allen is such a good hitter

We?ve all said it but it doesn?t matter how many good arms we have if we keep hitting like the have against Texas and for most of the game against Virginia. You don?t consistently beat teams at this stage of the year without hitting halfway consistently, or at least having competitive at bats.

All the juju!!

[maroonmania]

What is that our 5th hit tonight?

[R2Dawg]

Tanner Allen is such a good hitter

You just can't count him out.

[CadaverDawg]

Attaboy Tanner. Something to build off tomorrow

[Rex54]

GOT TO score TA here
