Well, we got one run in the first...

a little disappointing that we didn’t get more with 2 on and no outs, but we’re on the board first.

Let's hope Riley can get in a rhythm

I think the Horns can hit the K-state pitcher.

Updates welcome

We’re both kind of busy all day, so all updates are both welcome and needed. Hook ‘em!

1-1 after one

Identical double-play RBIs.

by hornbone on May 25, 2008 1:48 PM CDT   0 recs

They are jumping on his pitches...boening might want to change his approach

but seems like he has a control issue tho…his pitches are leaning towards middle

LOL

We’ve been on the old thread. We’re moving over here.

Good guys are winning. yeah.

Other thread was rollin’! We’re going to hit 100 comments again today over here anyway, if everyone gets the memo.

Great hit by Moldy!

Plates Russell, moves Belt to 3rd! 5-1 Texas!

While keeping

Chance, Austin and KK fresh.

by horndude on May 25, 2008 2:08 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Don't say that!

6-1 against OU, remember? Our pitching can blow any lead at any time. We don’t have the luxury of burning our bullpen up this time, either. Let’s hope Boening can give us 6+ today.

--Horn Brain--

by Horn Brain on May 25, 2008 2:09 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I migrated too

Someone needs to ring a bell when a new thread starts! :-)

Runners at the corners with one out is the latest on the Weebles. Did Moldenhaur drive Russell in?

Life is an Occasion. Rise to it.

by patienthornsfan on May 25, 2008 2:07 PM CDT   0 recs

Yup

Beautiful grounder between short and third.

KSU pictcher

Is he a regular starter?

the relief guy? dont think so i think he has a record of 1-6 and 6.75 era

probbly brought in to face UT’s left-handed middle of the order

by hookemkp on May 25, 2008 2:09 PM CDT   0 recs

And he's from Tomball

They can’t all play at Texas.

by horndude on May 25, 2008 2:11 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

This is going to be a high scoring game

We got lucky to just give 1 run in the last two innings, we will give runs. Keep the bats rolling.

Get your ass going! You ain't hurt!

by Cyrus on May 25, 2008 2:09 PM CDT   0 recs

Agreed.

The run rule could save us if we hold them into 7.

--Horn Brain--

by Horn Brain on May 25, 2008 2:11 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Against OU

they said the run rule applies “until the championship game”. Did they mean Big XII championship or NCAA championship? or both?

by horndude on May 25, 2008 2:12 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Double play ends the rally.

Good inning by the ‘Horns, nonetheless.

--Horn Brain--

Is there a baseball-reference.com for college?

I’d love to know how many rallies Hernandez has killed this season.

by amorphous on May 25, 2008 2:23 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

But he was the hero last night

Life is an Occasion. Rise to it.

by patienthornsfan on May 25, 2008 2:24 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Ok, I'm swinging your way on Hernandez now

That’s the second time he’s left 2+ runners stranded on base!

Life is an Occasion. Rise to it.

by patienthornsfan on May 25, 2008 2:48 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Boening has good stuff.

Would love to see him start to put it together before the NCAAs.

--Horn Brain--

by Horn Brain on May 25, 2008 2:18 PM CDT   0 recs

Was doing that a little earlier.

Nice inning, there. Let’s get back to scoring stupid amounts of runs.

by Horn Brain on May 25, 2008 2:22 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

nice inning by the horns!!

Woo 5-1 good guys

Just tuning in. How’d we score?

--PB--

by PB @ BON on May 25, 2008 2:24 PM CDT   0 recs

1 run double play 1st inning

5 consecutive hits score 4 runs in 3rd

by hookemkp on May 25, 2008 2:25 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Love it

What a turnaround for this team! Hope our pitching can get through the rest of this one…

--PB--

by PB @ BON on May 25, 2008 2:26 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Like... all kinds of ways...

Got one in the first, then had a huge rally in the top of the third to plate 4. Went like Double, Double, Triple, Single, Weeping. Dominant. Boening has improved each inning.

--Horn Brain--

by Horn Brain on May 25, 2008 2:26 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

OK this inning is long...

Runners on 1st and 2nd, one out, Danks at the plate. 0-2 count.

--Horn Brain--

by Horn Brain on May 25, 2008 2:33 PM CDT   0 recs

Singles through the right side to plate Rupp

Beat the throw, and it was cruddy anyway.

--Horn Brain--

by Horn Brain on May 25, 2008 2:34 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Danks three hits, two RBI's

His draft stock just keeps rocketing up.

Speaking of which, given the plunge Russell’s stock has taken this season, any chance he comes back for his Senior year?

Life is an Occasion. Rise to it.

by patienthornsfan on May 25, 2008 2:38 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I can't see it

With his bro making some bucks, he’s gotta have the itch to break out?

by horndude on May 25, 2008 2:44 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I meant Kyle, not Jordan

Life is an Occasion. Rise to it.

by patienthornsfan on May 25, 2008 2:45 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

6-1

Augie should never be doubted. Ever.

Kyle Russell strikes out.

Belt looks like A-Rod a little when he squints. Weird.

--Horn Brain--

by Horn Brain on May 25, 2008 2:37 PM CDT   0 recs

Hits like him, too.

2 run double puts the ‘Horns up big. This outfield is way too big for KSU’s outfielders.

--Horn Brain--

by Horn Brain on May 25, 2008 2:39 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

He hits, fields his position well, and can pitch

He does long division in his head.

Brandon Belt: Nothing he can’t do.

dank is a HOSS!!

Horn Brain

Your joking run rule claim from earlier is looking less joke-ish. Too bad it doesn’t apply.

by amorphous on May 25, 2008 2:40 PM CDT   0 recs

Agreed

We may need every one of these runs to win.

--Horn Brain--

by Horn Brain on May 25, 2008 2:45 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

new game plan for longhorns from here on and out....hit it to the outfield!!

left fielder looks REALLY REALLY slow and plus the wind is blowing

Thanks...

This is a bit self-serving, but the updates on this thread are really helpful to both of us 40AS guys as we are pretty busy getting ready for a summer camp program and this is way better than the slow CSTV updates…

Keep it up!

by 40AS on May 25, 2008 2:46 PM CDT   0 recs

So, that was a nice long half-inning there...

so we could talk to the Big 12 commish. Also, we scored more runs.
Hook ‘em.

Who knew Dan Beebe

played fooball at Cal Poly? PB?

by horndude on May 25, 2008 2:47 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Haven't heard that name in ages

And yeah, news to me too

Nice play by Clark...

continuuing to play third well. And we’re out of the 4th still up 9-1.

first extended viewing of baseball

Team looks good out there. I’m expecting good things in the cws.

Breaking: KSU not very good.

But this does look good for us.
