Texas at TCU May 7-9, 2021

The Horns travel to Fort Worth for three game set that will in all likelihood decide the Big XII regular season champions.

A lot riding on this series.... losing 2 of 3 to tech really hurt.

Won't deceive myself about the chance of a sweep, but 2 of 3 is probably best case scenario.

 

I'd certainly be happy with 2 out of 3.

 

Ok. They've got to play 'Come on Eileen' when the announcer introduces that pitcher at TCU.

 

BON’s series preview:

Texas baseball travels to TCU for pivotal battle in the race for the Big 12 Championship

 

1-0 after top of first for Horns. 2 SO already with man on 3rd.

 

1-1, unearned run by TCU to tie it up.

 

That’s a lot of pitches for Madden to throw in the first inning.

 

Sad that TCU lets fans go to the game, but not the leftards in Austin

 

Just now able to tune in.

Bottom 2nd: still 1 -1

Horns REALLY need to win this opener....

 

2 errors not good for 1 inning.

 

Runners on first & second, nobody out, and we get zero runs, in fact we don't even advance the runners. Seems like the story of the season and last season.

 

Yes, our sticks need to get better to contend for a title. Madden settled down.

 

Madden made short work of the lower end of the TCU lineup.

 

Wow! Where did that ball go...? I’ll take it.

 

Crap, we strand a man at 3rd....

 

Top of 3rd 1 - 1 ya'll.....

 

Wicked breaking ball by Madden for a SO of the first batter. Dropped like a rock right over the plate. Third inning.

 

Woohoo, I think Madden just threw out man at first! Close... waiting for replay and final decision.

 

I can't find the radio station here in DFW
It is not 1080

 

Horns need to win this game!

 

Madden’s got some nice movement on the ball tonight, and his usual control. He already has 4 SOs. He brought the secret sauce tonight.

 

TCU Picked off at first and then Madden strikes out batter. Boom

 

It's on ESPNU

Bases juiced!!!!

 

Sweet double!!!

2-1 Horns

Let's get more!

 

TCU’s students/fans sound high

 

Not bad at all for our 9th batter! He’s had some good games at bat lately.

 

And TCU’s pitcher’s pitch count is way too high for this point in the game. They’d better hope their middle relief holds up.

 

In comes TCU P Charles King with his 4.34 ERA and breaking balls. Lots of SOs.
