TCU vs. Virginia - Game Thread

[More Frogs the Better]

We suck offensively More Frogs the better. Thats not stupid. To say we are one of the top 6 in the nation is a stupid thing to say. Tech would argue that. Oklahoma State would argue they are better. We had a route that helped us get here. We have a phenomenal pitching staff. We are not one of the best 6 in the nation. That is a stupid thing to say.

 
Good grief.

They were a better ball team tonight in all areas except the mound. They matched us there. They deserve the W. We deserve the L

Yep better executing team wins

 

[Horny 4 Life]

If nothing else, I am encouraged by the fact that these guys have shown remarkable resiliency all season long. 

 

[Tom Brown]

We need to do what UVA did and put Papi in the batting order multiple times so that he bats every 4th hitter.

 

[Pharm Frog]

Frogs played great in the field and on the mound. We should beat Ole Miss then Virginia twice. I guess the wind died in that last inning. We still have life and that is all one can ask every morning when they wake.

Go Frogs

We did not play well in the field. A couple of great plays for sure but all around pedestrian to poor IMO. Had trouble simply playing catch a lot. Cron saved our ass.

 

[TronCarter]

Just want to say that in 2010, South Carolina lost their first game. They then fought their way out of the loser's bracket, knocked off Clemson twice, advanced to the finals, and beat UCLA twice.
 
scheiss Virginia and their beautiful falls.

 

[Despite the odds Frog]

Just think if Cron had two homeruns, which in most parks it would of been. TCU has a great team. Wish they had won.

 

[SnoSki]

We are the LOBster Frogs. Wonder what the final damage was.

A minor note, for those of you who have watched live most of the season, have we always struggled retreating on fly balls?  I feel like our guys spend a bit too much time looking to the sky when trying to chase down a fly ball.

It was only a matter of time before someone made us pay for the ridiculous # of LOB. Finally ran into that team tonight.

At Lupton you don't usually retreat to catch fly balls but it has been an issue from time to time. More concerning to me is base running while looking back into the outfield and running way too wide. We do that too...a lot

[Frogs On A Plane]

Am I the only one that doesn't have an issue with trying to get to 3rd on the single to center? At that point, I had no confidence we could drive him in from 2nd. At least if he makes it a WP or Sac fly scores a run. It sucks he got hosed, but I would rather them make a play..

 

[OmniscienceFrog]

I'm really tired of these 3-2 games.  I wish TCU could break out with 8 or 9 runs.  Oh well.  I'm tired.  Great game tonight.  Nothing to be ashamed of. 

It's a philosophy, and it works most of the time, but when your philosophy is to live right on the edge all the time, it's gonna get you sometimes  too.

Agreed on the base running issues, but I noticed the outfield play a couple times tonight.  They had multiple doubles that could have been avoided with better outfield play, instead we had poor angles and poor tracking technique.

Maybe I'm having a senior moment, but wasn't UVA's first run unearned off a catching error by Odell at 3rd?

 

[Young and Horned]

I guess TCUWIN is worried to post his threats on the boards. Just threatened to beat my ass because I called him an idiot. Then he called me a witch three or four times.
 
First and I hope last time someone calls me a witch? Lol.

At that point we were getting to their pitcher and establishing some momentum. You don't take that chance when the odds aren't in your favor, and that was an extremely unfavorable situation.  He practically watched the CF pick up the ball before he turned his head and made his crescent shaped path toward 3rd.  Lots of stupid there.

Agreed. He didn't look at 3B coach once there. No change he was making it to 3B.
