Unequivocally false.

Have you seen A-Rod make those kind of sloppy plays on defense all year? I can’t think of any. Have you seen Temo in the past 10 games, not take the bat off his shoulder? Borba swinging for the fences, batters looking for a walk over a hit. Explain your point? 

[HDub1995]

Atta boy. That inability to turn the double play has been the difference. 

[Hookem1012]

That needs to be it for Ruger.

Should be. My guess is you'll see Crossland with a very short leash and Walker on standby with a lefty due up second in the sixth.

[McCoyColt]

Offense needs to wake up

They’re seeing lots of pitches per at bat, which is always good and advantageous for the batter. Sure, the ball has bounced Oregons way a few times but that’s not a reason to be doom and gloom like your post implied. The game is tied. 

[SuperDave0805]

Wonder what it would take to get this reliever to go into the portal?

[Wicket]

May not get on base again tonight lol.  This dude nasty 

[Wicket]

Spoke it into existence 

[Jeff Howe]

Bradley's 43rd pitch of the night hits Pack. Bradley has only had two games this season in which he's thrown more pitches.

[Jeff Howe]

Becerra grounds into a fielder's choice to end the inning.

Doom and gloom would be saying we are beat, we have given up, I’m turning it off. I’m making a valid observation of a team I have seen every pitch from all year. There’s more nuance to baseball than bouncing balls. Taking our foot off the gas isn’t what you are implying that I said.

Nah man, it's the 6th, they need to loosen up, have some fun, this is a fun game.... we're having fun right?  Riojas need a (was it alive) yes it was a live rooster.

 

[Jeff Howe]

M6: Texas 4, Oregon 4

[Jeff Howe]

Can't believe they're bringing Riojas back for the sixth.

[Class of 04]

Time to play some Gus ball.

This is not the right call.

[dentonhorn]

Riojas to the mound. Hope I am wrong but bad idea.

[Jeff Howe]

Tinney tried to steal one on the 1-2 pitch.

[camridleyfan]

And I thought they were taking him out after 1st and 2nd nobody out 😂
