Baseball: No. 1 Texas vs. No. 11 Arkansas game thread (Friday)

[.45s]

Saunier walks in a run.  Still 2 outs and it is now 6 to 1, bottom of 6th.

[utx2]

Better than a pitch right down the middle 

[Jeff Howe]

Gasparino runs down a Thomas Jr. deep drive to left on the warning track.

[Jeff Howe]

End of 6: Arkansas 6, Texas 1

[.45s]

Our pitchers now have 4 Ks, 7 BBs, and 5 HPBs.

[HookedOnTF]

Food for thought - SEC stats

 

 

[Jeff Howe]

Schloss looks pissed and rightfully so. Bad Baserunning leads to an inning-ending double play, wiping out the traffic Texas generated in the top of the seventh.

[Class of 04]

Either that home plate ump is on the Arkansas payroll, or is an alumni. Those are the only reasonable explanations for some of these calls.

[.45s]

That was a bonehead play by our baserunners.

[Jeff Howe]

Gasparino and Borba both yanked after the base running blunder in the top of the seventh.

[.45s]

I think Schloss benched them.

He did.

Winfield in left, Jonah over to center, Gumbo is in

[.45s]

Replay makes it look like Borba took off from 1st and confused Will at 2nd, when then took off.

Can't really hurt our offensive production at this point...

[.45s]

Gumbo went to 2nd and ARod slid over to 3rd.  With Winfield possibly hitting a bit better, and even Gumbo a bit better, they probably will not be hurting our offense.

[.45s]

This is getting to be embarrassing and a bit pitiful.  So many strikeouts and hardly any hits.  Pitching has given up a lot of runs, walked too many, hit way too many, and not struck out enough.  As of  outs in the eighth inning we have scored 1 run in these 2 games.

[Jeff Howe]

End of 8: Arkansas 6, Texas 1

[Jeff Howe]

FINAL: Arkansas 6, Texas 1

The Longhorns lose the series, marking the first time this season Texas has lost a weekend.

[.45s]

Hopefully tomorrow will be a bounce back day so they can avoid a sweep.

[Bobby_Batronic]

Only 14 runs away from challenging for the series.

[FootLaw]

Definitely a bad showing the last 2 days. Hopefully they can salvage one game and get back on track.

Horrible third strike call against Rodriguez.

I recall this was so far inside it was over the batter’s box line. Granted, I was watching on my phone, but horrible nonetheless.

Rodriguez strikes out to open the second. That’s three for Gage Wood.

After last night’s game, Jalin Flores is hitting .189 in SEC play. The Longhorns need him to get going, obviously.

The sun came up today. The Longhorns and Razorbacks get going at  yes it did Jeff . Unfortunately Texas is looking like the Texas of last year . Team batting avg . Under .300 I SEC play. Arkansas pitching embarrasses us two games in a row. We need to win Sunday.
