Game 2 Thread - MSU vs TCU

[57stratdawg]

Bednar pulled after he “didn’t feel right” this morning. Not a great sign.

 

[57stratdawg]

1st Inning - TCU with 1 on, 1 out.

Bednar pulled after he “didn’t feel right” this morning. Not a great sign.

Darn weighted baseballs **

 

[57stratdawg]

Houston Harding having trouble putting guys away. Full count and his Fb is missing high.

 

[57stratdawg]

Gets him finally on an off speed pitch. 2 down.

 

[57stratdawg]

Another full count and KJames boots it. That ball was off the end of the bat, but gotta make that play.

2 on, 2 outs.

 

[ZombieKissinger]

This is apparently TCU's 2 hole hitter?

*the one on the left*

 

[57stratdawg]

Runners go on 0-2 count. Bad miss from Harding and Tanner completely sails a ball into left field. E2.

1-0 TCU

 

[57stratdawg]

Rowdy grounds out to 3rd. 1 down.

 

[57stratdawg]

K James grounds out to SS. 2 down.

 

[57stratdawg]

Tanner Allen blown away on 3 pitches looking.

1-0 after 1.

 

[57stratdawg]

2nd Inning - 2 quick outs.

 

[57stratdawg]

Our home plate zone isn’t very consistent. TCU guy is getting the corners more than Harding.

 

[57stratdawg]

Easy inning. 1-0 Mid 2.

 

[57stratdawg]

Hatcher with a single. 2 other quick outs.

Debrule up.

 

[57stratdawg]

Wow - Debrule beats out an infield single. He showed some wheels there. I didn’t know he had that in his bag.

2 on, 2 outs. Mule up.

 

[Hump4Hoops]

TCU giant hammering the strike zone. Getting ahead of every batter.

 

[57stratdawg]

Mule K’s. He’s standing right on top of the plate and thought it was inside.

Good inning though. Made him work some. The bottom of our lineup seems like some grinders.

1-0 TCU after 2.

 

[Hump4Hoops]

Harding can't find the strike zone.

 

[57stratdawg]

3rd Inning - line out to center starts the 3rd.

Harding is getting squeezed. Walks their lead off guy on 4 pitches, but the second ball was a perfect change up. It fooled the ump. I think he motioned that it was down, but he’s full of ****.

 

[57stratdawg]

Another full count. But, Harding gets the K on his change up.

That pitch is nasty today.

 

[57stratdawg]

Wild pitch gets the runner to 2nd with 2 outs.

 

[57stratdawg]

Line out from Landon Jordan starts off the MSU B3.

 

[57stratdawg]

Rowdy with an easy ground out. 2 outs.

 

[57stratdawg]

KJames with weak contact. 3 up, 3 down.

1-0 TCU after 3.

 

[57stratdawg]

4th Inning - lead off walk from Harding. He’s not missing by much.

 

[57stratdawg]

Double off the wall Tanner Allen can’t get to. Runners on 2nd and 3rd, 0 outs.

Harding’s day looks in jeopardy.

 

[57stratdawg]

Shallow fly out can’t score a run. 1 down. Still on 2nd and 3rd.

 

[57stratdawg]

Harding done. Brandon Smith in.

Let’s see how this goes..

 

[57stratdawg]

Fly out to Hatcher. Another big out. 2 down.

 

[NWADog]

Anybody know anything about TCU pitching? How’s their bullpen? I’m ready to get this starter out. He’s making quick work out of our guys right now. Harding and Smith doing a great job so far.

 

[Hump4Hoops]

Really glad we moved on to Smith when we did.

Got out of a jam and has looked pretty darn good.

 

[57stratdawg]

5th Inning - Smith pitching well. 2 quick outs.

 

[57stratdawg]

Smith gets the K. Nothing doing for TCU in Top 5.

1-0 TCU

 

[57stratdawg]

Hancock battling to start the B5. 3-2 count

 

[57stratdawg]

Gets a single. Great AB

 

[Hump4Hoops]

What an at-bat!

Got into a full count then fouled off 5 in a row before roping a single into right field.

 

[57stratdawg]

Debrule can’t get a sac bunt down. Hits into a FC. Hancock retired at 2B.

 

[57stratdawg]

Cumbust Ks on the inside again. 2 down.

 

[57stratdawg]

Debrule makes a wild pitch turn into 2 bags. Runner on 3rd.
