Baseball: Texas vs. UTSA Austin Regional game thread

[cmk4pres]

This is such pathetic baseball 

[bourbasted]

What a disaster.

[Jeff Howe]

I don't think they can overturn the out call at home.

[horns96]

I thought there was a rule against trucking the catcher now?

 

[Jeff Howe]

I think Hallmark was arguing for obstruction, not whether or not Galvan dropped the ball.

Try soft hit grounders

I was taught as a catcher to block the plate if possible while playing the throw.

[Jeff Howe]

The play is confirmed. It's an RBU double for Gruell and Lytle is retired on a 7-6-2 putout to end the inning.

Schloss treated this like a Tuesday night game.  Bad move.  This team has won 45 games.

Blowing a 6-1 lead at home hurts.  Let’s hope they pull it together on offense

[Ace Recruiter]

Where's Gerry? Time to gird up your loins.

Obstruction in baseball is like targeting in football. Nobody really knows what it constitutes.

The catcher has to be able to make a play.

[Burntcowboy]

Them losing that challenge is the first positive we have had in a few innings.

We threw Harrison and have used our best receivers. We are trotting out an inept 2B and now Flores is struggling.

You're probably as old as me. That's not the deal any longer.

Is UTSA to baseball what Maryland was to football??

[Jeff Howe]

We've got a fight in the stands. The police/security are on the first-base concourse.

[Texas84]

[Burntcowboy]

Hopefully we have another pitcher warming up

[dentonhorn]

Well, gonna have to get it back.

I don't think that's the case. I think the defense has been abysmal and the offense hasn't taken advantage of enough opportunities. 

[Jeff Howe]

M6: UTSA 8, Texas 6

[Jeff Howe]

Schuessler leads off the bottom of the sixth with a walk.

Winning is hard

[HookemChappy]

Getting base runners has not been our problem. Got to score runs here
