Horns-Frogs Open Thread

PrintTexas can't score without getting the leadoff man on base, TCU can't score via anything but the home run. That about sum up the first two games of this series? The bad news for Texas is that TCU comes in with momentum and likely facing a freshman pitcher making the biggest start of his young career.
The good news for Texas is if there is one thing Taylor Jungmann (7-3, 2.45 ERA) has excelled at all season, it's not giving up the long ball. Taylor this season has given up 55 hits in 73 innings: 49 singles, 3 doubles, 1 triple and 1 HR. As PB mentioned, Texas comes in with just about as fresh a bullpen as can be imagined. One final Texas point -- the Horns have had four series rubber games this season and won all four (Stanford, OSU, Tech and Missou).
But those are by no means guarantors of success tonight. TCU is certainly much better than those four teams. TCU has a pretty fresh bullpen as well and junior Tyler Lockwood (4-1, 4.41 ERA) to go against Jungmann.
Game starts at 6 PM on ESPN2.

Lets go Jungman!!!
We need you!
"I don't ever miss free throws. I'm like 100-percent from the free throw line. I just don't think about missing and if you think about missing you're going to miss. I just take my time and know I'm going to make it and I do," McClellan said.
Tomorrow should definately be a happy day for you.
My Rangers will be in the tank by the end of the year but not low enough to get the high draft pick. DAMN mediocrity!!!
Ok, rightfully so Texas Wahoo has...
pointed out I’m Mr. Negative when it comes to the baseball team( I blame the last few years of heartbreak). So I’ll turn the tables and be very optimistic for a change……no negative comments from me tonight.
This team will get the job done tonight………..can’t wait!!
College World Series just wouldn’t be complete this year without Texas. Should be fun with LSU and Arkansas in the mix……..i hope we get a matchup with both.
Hook em!!
i was listening to him the last few games.. but didnt think he sounded much like him until now

can't watch, working, thanks for the updates!
sounds like our bats have been awakened? f yes.
Keyes hit that ball so far
I wish we could get a distance on that

This sucks
I am having to “watch” the game on GameTracker at work…dumb! Hopefully the highlights are on ESPN late tonight so I can see Keyes HR.
Its amazing
how much faster it is watching here, than on GameTracker…Thank you all for the quick updates!
me too, kirk, me too.
got some stares when I “YES!”ed out loud and fist pumped upon “seeing” the homerun.
I don't know if you guys can hear it,
but there is someone close to the mic talking smack to TCU. He asked them what they do in Ft. Worth during the summer
lol
Yea been hearing that guy all game

Workman and the Austins better get warm
They are taking Taylor to some deep counts. Not sure how many innings we’re going to get.
What a player Clark has been
Really hope we can get this done for him
TV flashed a 90 mph fastball; did you hear a 96-mph fastball on the second K of the inning?
Maybe different guns. Sounds like one needs to be calibrated.
“the anticipation of you striking out is killing us corey!”

Haha thats what he said..
Couldn’t understand it. Did you hear when he said “Don’t eat it” to the DH?
lol he’s been talking shit all game…

Jungmann is feeling it
Hope the offense can keep pouring it on. TCU ain’t gonna disappear.
Great game so far
My 76 year old father just started using a computer. I sent him the justin.tv link and have been checking in on the cell phone with him. Couldn’t be more happy. He was in Omaha for the 2005 Championship. Hook ‘em y’all
That is awesome.
My parents still are not computer literate
My mom is
Dad still thinks the internet is an inanimate object. My mom got it at home several years back, and he asked how big it was and where she was going to put it.
That is awesome.
I could see my dad saying the same thing
I hope it’s enough, but that it’s not all UT ends up getting.

no problem
at home with a beer, least I can do
I just realized
This is the first inning of this whole series that I haven’t held my breath for their 2-3-4 hitters.
Nice to see those guys up
with the bases empty.
Frogs have had 1 baserunner
I can deal with that.
I looked away, and wifey clicked away during the commercial, so I missed it. WTF is a backwards strikeout? What happened?
They’re definitely fulfilling that leadoff hitter point.

Is Wood available to pitch tonight?
He only threw a third yesterday so I figure he still has 13 innings left in him for today, right?
“TAKE HIM OUT!”
“LEAVE HIM IN!”
“TAKE HIM OUT!”
“LEAVE HIM IN!”
“TAKE HIM OUT!”
“LEAVE HIM IN!”

Announcers should give the mic to those guys
either that or just shut up and let us listen to them
Sounded to me like he was saying, “Mickey Mouse!”

TCU changing pitchers
Keyes remains on third 1 down
Marshall is really good when he's on
Hope we can get some insurance here.
Maybe we've got Marshall shaken up a bit
He won’t last another 5 innings anyway.
He grew up 10 miles down the road
in Atlanta. He used to kill the ball and always played great D
HaHa yup and not much else.
After 7 years in Little Rock I ended up back in Texarkana
Know it well
cant keep my wife off the boardwalk :)
Evidently his power has tappered off
More of a slap hitter now

Texas looking strong
Keyes is tearing it up!

Crap
NTN is, um, a little ahead of me.

8-9-1 hitters up for Frogs
Need another good inning from Jungmann. Way too early to relax.
Did anyone else just see the Billy D and Urban Meyer commercial on the stream with mini-Noah?
'Til Gabriel blows his horn...
Um, no, bs

Hey, that's every bit as good as a shallow fly.
Now the double play.
by burntorangehorn on Jun 8, 2009 7:55 PM CDT up reply actions
I think this sets Jungmann up better to pitch his way out of the jam than if the runner had advanced to third.
by burntorangehorn on Jun 8, 2009 7:56 PM CDT up reply actions
Outstanding!
"From the waist down, Earl Campbell has the biggest legs I have ever seen on a running back." -John Madden
One would think
Although Jungmann has handled Vern and Carpenter nicely so he may come back for an out or two
He should be arrested for that change-up
Thats robbery

Austin gives me wood
"From the waist down, Earl Campbell has the biggest legs I have ever seen on a running back." -John Madden
I knew there was a reason,
just couldn’t put my finger on it :)
5 pitch inning?
i hope that gets fixed
"From the waist down, Earl Campbell has the biggest legs I have ever seen on a running back." -John Madden
I guess they were keeping Wood warm.
"From the waist down, Earl Campbell has the biggest legs I have ever seen on a running back." -John Madden
I'm new to this
but why isn’t the pitcher batting? I thought DH was just an AL thing.
by goingforthecorner on Jun 8, 2009 8:22 PM CDT reply actions
Always a DH in college
Unless your 1B catches a ball of the chin and is replaced by your DH, then you give up the DH and your pitcher bats
Actually, only NL has pitchers hit
Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. If they get mad, you're a mile away AND you have their shoes.

I think they're just playing the typical underdog card
Nobody who has been paying attention thinks TCU shouldn’t be here.
blasphemy sir
those are hallowed words
"From the waist down, Earl Campbell has the biggest legs I have ever seen on a running back." -John Madden
Get Dicharry up
I think Wood can get out of this, but Dicharry needs to be ready for the 9th.
Ask and ye shall receive
Dicharry up in the Texas pen
TCUnis
Purple jerseys with white armpits?

Grounder to Belt ends the inning
5-1 Texas bottom of 8th
I would bring him back out
It’s his last home game.
But have Dicharry ready to go.
Haha true.
Damn you gotta respect that desire
Now Vern and Carpenter can take solo homers and not destroy us
BTW, that RBI single was the first non-homer RBI for TCU all series
The guy who just scored for TCU....
Is one of my good friends. Glad he got to hit in such a big game, and glad he did well. As long as it doesn’t affect us :).
Progressive chick, hot or not?

"What a great standing ovation a few moments ago when the Longhorns took the field"
Eric Young: “And all of them were on their feet”
Line of the Super!
want change-up
"From the waist down, Earl Campbell has the biggest legs I have ever seen on a running back." -John Madden
I'm all for Wood, but he's getting hit by everyone on TCU.
Good move to throw Dicharry at this point.
Damn
Gotta be careful here. Sucks Wood couldn’t finish it, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
Pitching change Ruffin coming in to finish up
wonderful standing O for Wood
who cares about the runner
don’t even worry about it. Pitch from the wind up assuming this guy has a wind up

5-2, Longhorns win!
And they win the series in three. TCU scores one in the 9th, but the Longhorns are off to Omaha!
Hook'em to Omaha!
"From the waist down, Earl Campbell has the biggest legs I have ever seen on a running back." -John Madden
We have USM, Arizona State and UNC in our side of the tourney
Would only get LSU/Arky/CSF/UVA in the championship round
USM Sunday at 6 PM I believe
That’s what Keith Moreland said before the game.
USM
is the only 3 seed in Omaha, but if I recall Fresno State was a 3 seed last year. Cant take them lightly.
Its essentially the same as the first two rounds
A four team double elimination bracket and then a best of 3 series
You mean you would find reasons we would not win?
:) sorry couldn’t resist
