Super Regional Game Two Open Thread

PrintIt's Texas-TCU at 2 PM on ESPN. No official word who will get the start for the Horns...Cole Green was money his last start against Army whereas Taylor Jungmann was not. Green has a bit more experience than the frosh Jungmann, so there's probably a pretty good chance that Augie will throw him.
Chance Ruffin wasn't perfect, but his complete game gave the Texas bullpen an important extra day of rest. TCU will probably counter with Paul Gerrish or Tyler Lockwood, neither of whom is particularly scary but both are capable of shutting down the Horns. Of note, TCU long reliever Trent Appleby threw 36 pitches yesterday, so while he is probably available for more work today, he is unlikely to eat up many innings.
Update from PB at the Disch: The wind is blowing steadily out from right to left field at about 15 miles per hour, with occasional gusts at even higher speeds. Could be a good day for right-handed power hitting, which may favor TCU (although newly-minted homerun hitter Michael Torres might have something to say about that).

Lets do this!!
I missed the last game due to an cook-off in my hometown, but I’m ready to go the distance again. Just hopefully we dont play for 25 innings. Bags are packed, ready for Omaha baby!
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
ESPN 360
should have a live feed as well. When the game arrives I’ll provide the link.
Right now its ECU 0 -UNC 0, top 2nd
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
For those on the east coast
Might be able to catch the game here…hopefully this is the last game Texas will play that we all can’t watch
I'm assuming East Coast fans
get to watch Ole Miss. My gf is pissed because she is an Ole Miss Alum but can’t watch it on ESPN. I hope they win, so she’ll be somewhat approachable tonite.
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
Supposedly Comcast in Arlington will be getting it before football season (alolng with ESPNU)
but I don’t have it yet…
For those who gave a damn...
UNC 2 – ECU 0, Top of the 4th.
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
I was trying to find a quick and witty response
But found none.
I’m assuming that its just for a better view of the playing field.
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
Gonna be a hot one today
Not being under the canopy is going to suck.
Crawl mentioned Texas game on the U
Anybody see that? Doesn’t really help those of us without ESPNU…again, I cannot believe that ESPN would not highlight biggest draw
didnt see that
but they just showed the upcoming games on the screen and Texas TCU was listed on ESPN at 3 ET
I believe it is on both
On my guide, it is showing the Texas game on both ESPN and ESPNU. The UNC/EC game is currently airing on both channels, so that makes sense. My guess is ESPN thought they’d have more of the Fri-Sat-Sun series going to 3 games, but since they don’t, they’re running games on both stations.
Ben Bunting
Did I see that correctly? The kid from UNC. Augie would love to have him at UT. What a name for a baseball player
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
So assumin Texas wins today or tomorrow
We would play Arky in the first game at Omaha?
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
"Fortune Cookie" Karma!
I smell the Chinese Karma is coming back to Longhorns! We got the baseball title at the summer of 2005 and VY brought another title at the winter of 2005. In 2009, Augie & MB will enjoy the 2005 fortune karma all over again!
Hook’em!
What, did you get a cookie that read
something like: The frog is horny yet weak, but the bull is strong throughout the night?
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
Damn...another long shot....
And snagged at the wall.
Guess I jumped the gun.
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
ECU is hitting the damn ball well
But it somehow ends up in a Tar Heel glove everytime.
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
Anyone know if Texas is the "home" team?
Or is it like game 2 of the regionals when BC was the official home team, regardless of the fact that we were playing at the DISH?
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
Maybe they should decide BCS rankings by coin flips too
wouldn’t be any worse

At least
There is a playoff in college baseball. I guess the point in doing well during the regualr season was to secure the home field advantage until Omaha. And a favorable game 1 match-up in the CWS. If I’m correct it would be USM or UF. Wasn’t USM a 3-seed in the regional?
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
http://espn.go.com/broadband/espn360/player?sportCode=NW
I think this is the one for ESPN 360.
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
Damn
What about CBS Sports? I havent checked there yet, but there should be a feed or gametracker from texassports.com.
Are you doing the play by play today, 40AS?
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
Well the last games I took (with the help of Sneezy)
1 went to 25 innings and the other won with an 8 run 9th inning. I dont want to give anyone any cardiac complications.
But yeah I’ll take it. I’m at work and i’m not going anywhere from the computer
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
Anyone expects to see
Torres have the same kind of game today as yesterday?
Those 2 homers during the regualr season would like to disagree.
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
justin.tv/brbjones will have the feed i do believe

Temps
Air =92F
Field = 107F
Wind = 10-15 from right field to left. (Come on Keyes!!)
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
Let's go Horns....just goin on your updates for a few.
I’m trying to get some stuff done up at work.
F*** ESPN
They SAID Texas/ TCU was coming up. Instead, Ole Miss and VA. Psh.
yes...got my T's mixed up.
Its early and I’m hungover. Give me a few innings to warm up
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
WTF
ESPN360 just went to a commercial in the middle of an at bat.
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
Eric Young is a terrible color guy.
He makes the clowns on FSN calling football games seem competent.

What about Andre Ware
During UT-KSU 2006? How tough was that to listen to?
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
Eric Young can't even talk, not to mention he knows none of the players

He just said Loy is one of our best hitters
Yeah that goose egg for HR’s really shows that off
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
Keyes caught the flyout
123 inning, lets go to the 3rd
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
Nice, I'm good with a pitching duel
Our pitching’s pretty decent……

Ok guys...
i feel like we’re starting to beergut this thread. Is everyone still at church?
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
Ha, true
The thing I love about the baseball threads lately is that the more serious and true fans are on here.

Hernandez grouns to SS, 2 down
Anyone see a trend?
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
We may have to SneezyJinx the TCU pitcher
to jumpstart this Offense. Our Expert Bunting Machine. And then PH for Keyes.
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
He's really throwing bullets out there
He might go 9 innings for TCU
by SneezyBeltran on Jun 7, 2009 2:44 PM CDT up reply actions
just as long as he doesnt end up going 12
we should be ok
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
Haha, true
Look for the jinx to start within the next 2 innings

so...
there should still be about 9,500 shirts left for his debut game? :)
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
His command of his curve
is right on time. He’s changing speeds really well and painting the corners like a seasoned senior. Not too shabby.
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
TCU tries to play UT ball
fails. lets head to the 4th
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
Comacast in Houston is showing it on 33
If you were looking for it on ESPN-HD, you won’t find it, but the non-HD ESPN is showing it now.
Hyperspeed Giraffe
is channeling his inner Rupp. 2K’s in 2AB’s. 2 down
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
Should the Nations appeal
to change the rule that the top draft pick switches between the NL and AL every year?
They’re clearly the worst team this year again.
I think the city of Washington
should appeal for the Nats to move to a different city.
A stupid system that works exactly like it's supposed to is still a stupid system.
They could always build a new stadium in Anacostia
A stupid system that works exactly like it's supposed to is still a stupid system.
Perhaps they would have an advantage if they actually played in the river
The water would slow everything down
Dammit
A stupid system that works exactly like it's supposed to is still a stupid system.
Vern wasn't very good last year, struck out a lot
He apparently altered his stance or swing and recognizes pitches better now

I know what you mean
A stupid system that works exactly like it's supposed to is still a stupid system.
No kidding
You’re taking over in the 6th if we can’t get something started. But then again we played like crap against Army but we all know how it ended.
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
Don't know if anyone else is stuck with the OleMiss game,
but here is a link to watch on justin.tv. Pretty good feed too.
just got home from the beach
three hits, wow just when i thought the offense was moving forward i see they have taken steps back
The next up and coming Longhorns QB!
why do our bats not work
when we are the away team
Aggies going to boycott
Commentators and ESPN.
Wow
Commentators are killing the other Texas Schools!
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
Damn
yeah I thought he would be closer to 100. Well we just have to get this inning going, work deep into counts and hopefully score a few runs
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
i think today is a day of comebacks then
The next up and coming Longhorns QB!

I'm guessing they're going to have
Wood pitch against USM in Omaha
;)
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
Your starter near 100 pitches
Gives up a walk then has to face the only three guys that have hit him hard…no problem with taking him out
or you can get
the ‘Keep Austin Wood’ shirt….similar to the ‘Keep Austin Weird shirts’
I'll let you know soon.
And I’ll try to keep it from being too ahead.
'Til Gabriel blows his horn...
and then Wood pitches the next 12 innings....hell no!
I want the win
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
What's wrong? You don't want to run the thread for a few more hours?
by SneezyBeltran on Jun 7, 2009 4:34 PM CDT up reply actions
No I'm off work
Work is the best place, because I work with 9 different comp screens
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
What do you do?
Sounds like my uncle’s job that works for ercot running electricity grids
by SneezyBeltran on Jun 7, 2009 4:36 PM CDT up reply actions
ok well here we go
is there another 9th inning rally in the very near future
The next up and coming Longhorns QB!
wow
game over, the pitcher must have thrown four total pitches. well monday it is
The next up and coming Longhorns QB!
Wow, that's optimistic...
Give the tcu pitcher some credit. He pitched pretty well today.
by SneezyBeltran on Jun 7, 2009 4:38 PM CDT up reply actions
He was getting his offspeed pitch over the plate to start ever at bat
almost impossible to hit when the pitcher does that
That's too bad
TCU made the plays they needed. I’m looking forward to tomorrow.
Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. If they get mad, you're a mile away AND you have their shoes.
No worries
Facing elimination in the super regional is nothing new for Texas (see 2002, 2005)

That is something
we do not need to lose faith or throw in the towel.
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
Jugmann for the Horns most likely
Probably versus Tyler Lockwood (4-1 with 4.41 ERA)…numbers again favor the Horns but that’s why they play the game
