[Prince of Purpoole]

The playlist at that dump is Uber Tech

I'm actually okay with this. Got MT thru almost 3 innings. And yes, I've been critical. But now we can bring in King or Morris.

 

[Pharm Frog]

WVU up on OU 1-0 in 5th.

 

[MadFrog]

We can do the same thing if they suspend this game until tomorrow. Plus, Tech would lose their ace tomorrow.

 

[frognutz]

Oh great, so now we get women's softball with Beth Mowins........

 

[PurplFrawg]

WVU up on OU 1-0 in 5th.

and their first pitch was 20 minutes later than ours

 

[NNM]

So we get softball while we wait? Bleh.

 

[ShadowFrog]

Coach Jim Schlossnegger?

I'll be baach....

Yea, I don't like making rules where officials have to guess intent.

Umpires have discretion on intent HBPs and slides to break up a double play. Why not this? How often does it happen? Not often. I believe it was a 2-1 count, which would have been 3-1.

What's interesting about that rule is that if the catcher is able to throw out the runner, the batter is not out for BI. Also, if the batter commits interference in the process of striking out the runner is also out and scored as BI.

SEC...color me shocked!

All the layoffs and Todd Walker is still employed by E$PN.

I'm not unhappy with Traver today. He's had some control problems but overall pitched pretty well against some damn good hitters

Understand your point but both of those examples have a safety /injury aspect to them too. Just hate to see stuff in sports like flops, etc, where guys practice their move to make it look unintentional or sucker officials.

Anyone been able to find an update anywhere about the duration of this rain delay and whether or not it'll be back on ESPNU if/when they start it back up?

Radar looks like it'll clear out around 8 pm

 

[TCUdirtbag]

This is very disappointing.

Update: will resume at 11 tomorrow. Probably trying to still make that 2 pm window for game 3 on ESPN2.

And notice that they keep flashing across the bottom, "TCU vs TEXAS in delay in Lubbock..." The Techsters will love that. At least they didn't say rain was falling in the Dallas area, causing delay....

OU is just score 3 and is still batting.
