More Baseball To Be Played Open Thread

That was insane. There are too many insane things to even mention and they've all been mentioned in the 4 previous posts and 2,000 comments. Hopefully Texas will just play 9 innings today. As mentioned earlier, the most important part of last night's this morning's victory was that the Horns used only three pitchers for 25 innings. Something tells us Austin Wood is done for the weekend. Wood joined the pantheon of Texas athletes last night with an incomprehensible postseason performance and now Texas stands somewhere it hasn't been the last three years: in control of a regional and fresh starters on the mound.
The Horns have Taylor Jungmann and Brandon Workman ready to go against either BC or Army. We'll be moderately surprised if BC has anything left in the tank (they threw 7 pitchers), facing Army less than 12 hours after the end of the Texas game. No word on who the Horns will throw but our guess is it'll be Jungmann, with an array of relievers ready (possibly including Workman, if the Horns are ahead and need to close out the regional).
Today's schedule:
Army vs. BC -- 12:00 PM
Texas vs. Army/BC -- 6:00 PM
Finally, do yourself a favor and read the quotes from last night. Particularly Travis Tucker's quote about Austin Wood. Awesome.
Also: Take note of BC closer Mike Belfiore's quote about the Austin crowd. We would be remiss in not noting that for nine innings Belfiore matched Wood pitch-for-pitch, all the while hitting in the DH slot as well. Belfiore's performance was just about as gutty and courageous as Wood's and the Eagles' pitcher handled what must have been extremely bitter disappointment with total class after the ballgame. A BON hat tip to Belfiore and the entire Boston College roster.

Was at game and am still in awe
Well, last night was special. I was at the game with my son and we had a blast. I was also at the Astos-Mets 24 hour marathon a long time ago but that game was no comparison to this game. This was college athletics at its best.
Nothing like singing the Eyes of Texas at 1 am with your son after a big win!

I was at an Astros-Dodgers 22-inning game in 1989.
But I was just a kid and was there with a friend and his parents and we left after the 11th inning. Even though it wasn’t my decision to leave, I’ve regretted not being there till the end my entire life. Good to hear that your son won’t have that regret.

I almost headed down there from someone’s 21st birthday on sixth. figured the game would still be going by the time everyone else was partied out.

Dissapointing ...
… for two reasons.
1. I think BC might be the better team, but just didn’t have the juice after last night.
2. BC would have had NO pitching at all left for the Horns.
Bummer.

What I don't get about bunting...
… Augie says he does it to take the pressure off of getting a hit every time at bat, but all it does is get you guys like Torres at bat with runners in scoring position and 2 outs. Maybe not too much pressure the first time, but at this point, Torres has got to be sweating bullets.

It can also take away the double play or forceout at 2nd or 3rd, if used properly. The small-ball strategy of Whitey Herzog was what I loved when I was getting into Cardinals baseball in the 80’s.

Texas doesn’t seem to be so aggressive at all.
Like the 2-0 pitch Loy took – an aggressive hitter would have jumped all over that. With six straight balls thrown, the pitcher had to bring it. That’s where the edge is now.
