M5: Texas 7, Houston 0

[LonghornLegends]

Here we go build a lead then just starting hitting more players with pitches or issuing walks than pitches in the strike zone lmao!

I know it’s just me but I absolutely HATE when they get up 2 or 3 to 0 and just WATCH meatballs go right down the middle. If I get up 2-0 or 3-0 you have to anticipate they’re going to try and throw a strike right lmao god that just bugs the shii out of me lol. Apologies rant over.

That's the one thing I hated about GusBall. Everyone knew Gus would make them take until they threw a strike. Good pitchers would sail an 85mph meatball right down the middle. Automatically started behind in the count. It was torture.

[Jeff Howe]

Brody Walls allowed a single, hit a batter and walked another with one out in the bottom of the fifth.

Ethan Walker came in with the bases loaded and got a groundout before allowing a two-run single.

He recorded a strikeout to get out of the inning.

[Jeff Howe]

Hudson Hamilton is on the mound for the seventh with Texas leading Houston by four runs, 7-3.

We’ve benefitted from the walks tonight but would be nice if we could get the bats going.  
 

3 hits in the last 16 innings for midweek games vs tarleton/houston.  

[Jeff Howe]

An Easton Winfield home run and a double have a runner on second for the Cougars in a three-run game.

[pinkman_90]

Gonna be sweating out another big lead

[Jeff Howe]

After a strikeout and a walk, Max Grubbs replaces Hamilton with runners on first and second and one out.

[BurntOrangeDriller]

Do we just not like hitting or pitching on Tuesdays? Good lord.

Wtf is going on 😐🤬

[Rivalrygameblock]

Brutal defense. 

[BurntOrangeDriller]

What a complete cratering this is.

[Buck Travis]

I get being tired after Auburn and maybe looking forward to ou. But this is terrible. 

[Jeff Howe]

A throwing error charged to A-Rod and a throwing error on Ermis allow two runs to score.

It’s a 7-6 lead. Houston has the tying run on third with one out in the bottom of the seventh.

[JMarquette]

I get the whole “we don’t care about midweeks” crap, but this team just looks undisciplined and sloppy. It’s actually embarrassing. 

[Jeff Howe]

Grubbs gets two outs to get the Longhorns out of the inning.

Why even throw that ball with a runner on third?

[Jeff Howe]

End of 7: Texas 7, Houston 6

[Califashorn75]

Sloppy play will get you beat.
