OTF Premium Baseball Game Thread: No. 4 Texas vs. Vanderbilt (Sunday, 12 p.m.)

[Burnt Orange Horn]

Mendoza was better with his strike zone last time up.

[82horn]

Mendoza sacrifice fly ! 3-2 Texas

[Jeff Howe]

Doza does his job. Sacrifice fly to center scores Robbins.

[Jeff Howe]

M8: Texas 3, Vanderbilt 2

[Burnt Orange Horn]

Sacrifice is good!

[Jeff Howe]

First and third with two outs and Schloss brought Earley in to hit for Courville. Ground ball to short and a force at second ended the inning.

[82horn]

Is it Cozart time ?

[Jeff Howe]

Sam Cozart is out of the bullpen for Texas.

[Burnt Orange Horn]

Texas pulls out the guns in relief to preserve their lead!!  🔫

[Jeff Howe]

 

[Jeff Howe]

A walk and an RBI double and Vandy has tied the game, 3-3.

[Burnt Orange Horn]

I really don't like how Tinney drops his glove when the pitcher goes into his windup.

That’s literally how you are supposed to do it. The bigger issue, IMO, is the setting up down the middle no matter what. He could get more strike calls (and likely provide a better target) by positioning his body where the pitch is intended to go. It puts him at a disadvantage to where his movements are seen far too easily by the umpire (and are distracting). I’m sure there’s a rationale behind it, but I personally don’t like it.

When I grew up playing catcher a long time ago, the catcher's mitt was always the target.  And the catcher would move as desired for the pitch.

If the catcher it's going to make the target disappear in the wind up, why put it up at all???🤔🤔

[Okcool]

our hitting in the clutch is putrid lately

[Red Five]

This team has become frustrating to watch.

[Burnt Orange Horn]

I cannot get the game on ESPN, just the damned NBA!!  🤬🤬🤬

[harveycmd]

Swing discipline has gone out the window.
