BB: ASC: American Southwest Conference

Thanks for the clarification DP.

I haven't heard everything either. Did Tyler just lift Hood for Tucker for the sake of getting a faster pinch runner in the game? Too early to lift one of your best hitters?

Did Towns go down w/ an injury. If not, pulling him for Clifton doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to me either.

I think there .969 Fielding percentage, indicates they RARELY play poor defense DP.

I have no idea whats going on. I can tell you Tucker played quite a bit in the UMHB series. He was one of the fastest guys I have seen, but wasnt a very strong hitter. The live stats had him pinch hitting for Jared Hood. Like I said before, I am basing my knowledge of Tyler off of that weekend they played awesome against UMHB. Hood hit 3 homeruns that weekend.  Orosey has a nasty slider though, and putting in a lefty might not be a bad idea.

I was thinking of Keenan Duke, not Chris Tucker about the fast lefty. My apologies

6-4 in favor of TLU in the top of 9th but UTT has runners on 2nd and third with no outs.

[TexasBB]

UTT scores on a bouncer by FOX who may have got hurt on the play. Runner advanced to 3rd one out. Now 6-5.

[TexasBB]

Harding hits an RBI double off the wall and ties the game 6-6 two outs.

[Just_Some_Guy]

UT Tyler scores 3 in the top of the 9th to take a 7-6 lead, and I'm sure you'll see Ziegler on for the bottom half of the 9th.

Nope. They're going to stick with Rozell.

One thing I didnt account for, Hembree not being very proven out of the pen for TLU. 3-4-5 up for TLU in 9th

[TexasBB]

UTT takes lead on single and throwing error now 7-6 going into bottom of 9th Rozell on mound not Ziegler?

[TexasBB]

UTT wins on a double play. Bulldogs suffer a disheartening loss with a 2 run lead going into the 9th giving up 3 runs as the bullpen collapses. Rozell gets the save. That means they saved Ziegler who may go 2 innings if needed tomorrow.

[TexasBB]

Correction Ziegler gets the win not a save.

[TexasBB]

DUH I meant Rozell

Don't be scared to just use the modify feature on your posts instead of a new post for all of that. ;-)



Just a very speculative what if question. If you're TLU, can you justify bringing Macklin on to try and close the 9th and then still start him in game 2?

Is that very short-sighted thinking or do you go for broke knowing that if you can get Games 1 and 2 someone has to beat you twice (and aside from maybe Tyler the depth on the mound in the ASC hasn't been very strong this year.)

I'm not really questioning the decision as Hembree's been solid for the Bulldogs down the stretch (.238 avg against in conference play.)

Just curious what other baseball savvy minds may or may not do in that situation.

Great question...

Does his arm have it in him?  How many pitches are you going for?  Do you add today's pitch count to tomorrow's?

2-run lead with no out and a runner at second?

I think that I do.
