Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.

Base hit

runner on first no outs

the math aftermath is going to be astounding

players averages are going to plummet, pitching statistics will all improve dramatically, and NCAA records will fall… now score a damn run.

Ok

Here are the odds on how Rowe gets off base.

50% stranded

25% forced out or tagged out after a struck ball

12.5%

OH SHIT HE ALREADY DID IT FUCK.

I concur

WTF! Rowe. Smart baserunning is what UT baseball is about!

I don't think so

At least we haven’t exhausted our entire pitching staff

Only Texas

and they might be the only team in the nation who could survive a loss here with their pitching depth.

i really wish we got to 2 outs, and a count of 2-2… sadly i think he popped out at 1-0

Texas St must be loving this.

That is to say, they will be loving this when they get up in a few hours and find out. (They did win earlier today, right?)

I never thought I’d say this…but the 24th inning can’t get here fast enough.

GO STATE!!!!

Loser of this game has to play Army early, then assuming they win they have to re-match this game. This is critical.

Thanks for the invite, horndude

I’ve been watching the game since about the 18th inning

I've got to be honest

I didn’t even realize I was registered here. I couldn’t remember what ‘Burnt Orange Nation’ was on my ‘My Blogs’ list. I guess I registered when we played you guys in football.

I’m a Mizzou fan, by the way.

by leghumpingjihadkiller on May 31, 2009 12:32 AM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Quick interjection

This performance can’t be put on one player. By this point I’m sure everyone’s had a chance to win the game.

No more goat threads, please.

This is really insane.

Insane in a very cool way.

That was a famous game.

 Rochester vs. Pawtucket. Starring Wade Boggs and Cal Ripken Jr.

They suspended the game and finished it later. The guy who ended up being the losing pitcher played for a different team when the game started.

I’m headed to the game in a few seconds. I can’t miss us bat. CAN’T MISS!

I agree

No one player is responsible for this insanity.

Lest we forget ... ..

 … the pitchers are responsible for their part – an incredible pitching performance by all

OK, time to screw small ball

The team clearly cannot advance runners. Strands multiples on base every other inning. Time for everyone to SWING AWAY. Homerun is the only hope.

plenty of ball left to be played…

by horndude on May 31, 2009 12:51 AM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I could be imagining this, but it seems like BC’s pitch count is a lot higher right now than UT’s…

…and now another pitcher for BC. Well, I wish they would’ve left Kowalski in there a little longer, because I thought he looked like he was heading downhill, but it’s good to see the primary regional threat burning pitchers for tomorrow.

i wouldnt be too surprised to see army pull an upset… just gotta make sure we win this one

Man, not a pretty hit, but it did the trick! It just caromed off the field a couple feet in front of the plate, and boom, the first UT run in 23 innings crosses the plate.

Passed ball and then a wild pitch?
