Runners on corners, no outs.

 

[leofrog]

Bottom of 5th.

Schultz with a lead-off single to left. Pena with a slash hit to center, Schultz to 3rd. Top of the order up, no outs.

 

[leofrog]

Pena thrown out trying to steal, 1 out.

 

[leofrog]

Rivera with a RBI single to left, 2-1.

You would think Ray Birmingham (the New Mexico manager) was Tony La Russa by the way they are gushing all over him. Ignore the fact that his team is 17-39 or whatever.

I would look at what he has done at New Mexico before I say anything like that. Trust me, I don't like Yosemite Sam, but he has a good track record at where he's been. Yes, this is a down year, but it is a very young team. I know, no excuses, but he is a good coach.

 

[leofrog]

Witte with a fly out to left, Coats with a single to center, Rivera on 3rd, 2 outs.

 

[BogeyGolf7]

Chuck's radio feed is right in line with the game on tv if others need a break

 

[leofrog]

Weik with a single to right, 3-1.

 

[leofrog]

Elander flied out to end the inning, 3-1 going into the top of the 6th.

Although, he has never developed a good pitching staff. He has usually had a great hitting team.

 

[leofrog]

Frogs with an error, but they get a double play to end the inning.

What exactly is it that he has done?

 

[illini_frog]

FEATHERSTON!!

 

[masterfrog]

What exactly is it that he has done?

Exactly. This guy coached junior college ball for a long time and still doesn't have the contacts to bring in enough talent to field a competitive team this year in a bad conference.

 

[Spike]

I knew as soon as I spoke evil it would backfire. Any chance we can recruit a shortstop that can pick up a ground ball and throw it to first?

 

[TCURiggs]

Wow. Stephan comes on with bases loaded, gets a ground ball to get us out of the inning and TF boots one...Frogs down 4-3 in bottom of 8. It was going to be a tough play, but if he just knocks it down we're tied.

 

[tcu'85]

Error allows 2 runs to score. New Mexico up 4-3 bottom of the 8th

 

[illini_frog]

Fitting that T-Bird grounds out to short when he has a chance to make up for his error.

 

[BABYFACE]

JC leaves in Appleby in too long again and TF didn't show good fundamentals on a ground ball. Even if he didn't have time to throw, keep the ball in front of him and it is just a tie game instead of down one run
