Horns Take On Arizona State -- CWS Open Thread

Gse_multipart20834_tiny by 40AS on Comment 663 comments

Texas has now won six postseason games in six different ways. To get their seventh win the Horns will have to do something they haven't all postseason: beat a real ace. Mike Leake (16-1, 1.36 ERA) was the #8 pick in the MLB draft. If that doesn't scare you enough, here are some more Mike Leake numbers:

150 Ks in 132.2 innings

2 complete game shutouts

21 walks in 132.2 innings

2 HRs given up

.175 opponent batting average

His only loss of the year was in a duel with KSU ace AJ Morris. Fortunately the Horns have their own ace going in Chance Ruffin and probably have a full bullpen ready to go (Wood only threw 32 pitches and is operating on a day of rest). The Sun Devils may not have their most experienced reliever in Mitchell Lambson (42 pitches on Sunday) available, but they haven't needed much relief this season during Leake starts.

Game starts at 6 PM on ESPN.

Nervous.....

Talked to a scout from the Mariners today and asked him about Leake. He said he throws 6 pitches for strikes and if he were 2-3 inches taller he would have been taken no. 2 in the draft.

Chance, the season is in your hands. Godspeed kid.

Take a Chance

Thank god we won the first game because this is a real toss up, Keyes and the other big bats will need to be disciplined at the plate and make Leake throw them pitches to hit or this one will be over quick.

We’re going to need to go with our usual approach of small-ball to win this game? Leake has only given up 2 home runs this year… That’s just ridiculous.

I am generally a very optimistic fan, but these guys just have the look of a team that is already beaten, and that pisses me off. That is not how Texas plays baseball.

Not abandon ship

There is still at least 1 game to be played.

But i’m not going to sit here and pretend that the team that played the first 3 innings of this game is capable of coming back to win. They aren’t. That isn’t pessimism. It’s honesty. These guys are going to need a monumental offensive outburst, combined with a massive meltdown from Leake to win this game.

by bassale47 on Jun 16, 2009 7:35 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

They probably aren't going to come back

But stranger things have happened in baseball…Of course the team that played the first three innings isn’t going to win, that’s kind of obvious. Pessimism I can take (I’m as pessimistic about the chances of winning as anybody).

Why is Ruffin Still In?

SIX runs already in the 3rd – why is he in there when he has absolutely nothing today? By all accounts Augie was supposed to be quick to pull ‘em this CWS. Is Augie just going to leave Chance in for the entire game, lose 18-0 so that he doesn’t have to work any other arms in a guaranteed loss like this one is? Why not pull him and hope he rests up and gets his stuff back in a couple games?

Talk about choke, if this team doesn’t pull it together for their run through the loser’s bracket then this will be one of the lowest achieving Longhorn CWS appearances EVER. I’m sick of this embarrassing display, time to kick out 40 miles on the bike, this game is over, no magic happening today against the ASU pitching staff. Disgusting!!!

by RMHorn on Jun 16, 2009 7:34 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

LOL

Obviously tuned in late and not paying as close attention as I should have. Still a terrible outing for the entire team, that 3-run HR being the only exception. Maybe I stay close to the tv for a little bit longer as a result of it, though. That blown throw from the catcher just really pissed me off, what a friggin’ numskull bit of team communication that crap was!

That was not meant to be pesimistic

We’re still down 2, and they’re still beating the hell out of our pitchers. All I’m saying is they can’t let up. And so far they aren’t.

2-0 to Torres

C’mon Michael!

Need at least one more this inning

1st and 3rd one out

We are in a good spot, we need to go opposite field here

This is shocking

Ruffin will get a no-decision, Leake can only get the loss, and we’re in the 4th inning

Woooow

Forgive me, Horns. I was ready to give up at 6-0 against a pitcher like Leake. Goodness.

Oral

needs to stop getting so in-depth. I played baseball but at times find myself saying “huh??” He gets a little too technical at times.

Throw Jungmann?

Green can probably go again on Thursday if need be

by 40AS on Jun 16, 2009 8:06 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I might have gone to Workman first.

He scares the crap out of me, but if his fastball is working, they can’t hit him. Could be too much of a risk with the game tied though.

by bassale47 on Jun 16, 2009 8:07 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Workman hasn't thrown in the postseason I believe

Or since the Big XII tourney…with all the rest we’ve got and Ruffin’s low pitch count, Green, Workman and Ruffin will be available for future contests

by 40AS on Jun 16, 2009 8:09 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

like Steve just said

North Carolina will be very difficult. They were the team I was afraid of coming into the series – they just plain hit the ball every single time. But LSU is looking awfully tough as well – but I welcome the challenge.

They struggled early against Arky

Then Arky realized they were in Omaha and choked.

I think they’re beatable, too, but it’s likely their pitching rotation will be all set up for the final. Ours might not be.

No all-conference players because of the bunt?

That’s kind of absurd…no all-conference players because the Big XII was a league of talented individuals with one talented team

Please explain

Why Auggie didn’t call the bunt on first pitch there? All year we bunt with Keyes, Belt – then when the situation calls for it we swing away and get in a 0-1 hole? I know he has the skins on the wall – but it is still perplexing.
