Baseball - TCU v Minnesota - Saturday, Game #2

[TooColdU]

Landestoy gets a lead off single, but Balta and Rizer both swing at the first pitch and pop out. So frustrating.

Then Shepherd strikes out to end the 10th

 

[Pharm Frog]

Baker needs to DH. His defense is not good. ML needs to play 1st, but not bat 5th. We have four 9th place hitters in this lineup.

Question: How many great hitters do you want to recruit to TCU in future years?

 

[QuilterFrawg]

Now they're making us look silly. Back to back bunt singles.

 

[TooColdU]

Golden Gophers start off the 11th inning with two bunt-base hits.

 

[Pharm Frog]

Now they're making us look silly. Back to back bunt singles.

The fact that Shepherd wasn't in position to field a bunt in the sacrifice situation is borderline ridiculous. There was a 99.99998% chance that they would bunt during that plate appearance.

 

[Pharm Frog]

When did it become appropriate for third basemen to give up the bag on throws from the outfield? Should have been blocking the whole damn bag and forcing the runner to come through you. Nut up third baseman....

2 bunts to open the 11th inning for Minnesota and we cannot get an out. Th second one is mind boggling. Our 3B sat on edge of grass until bunt was down.

 

[QuilterFrawg]

Got out of that mess, thank goodness. Let's end it, Frogs!

 

[HornedFrog4Life]

Nice job Durbin.

Time for team to wake up. Offense has 3 hits today an no runs. This offensive team is different than last year. Missing senior leadership in a bad way.

+1

 

[QuilterFrawg]

Sloan in for Feltman.

 

[Dogfrog]

Somebody end this thing.

 

[TooColdU]

Baker is having a rough game.

 

[Peacefrog]

This is painful.

 

[AggieFrog]

What’s Minnesota’s travel time? Wonder if they’ll even start the final game.

 

[Pharm Frog]

Somebody end this thing.

Frogs may win this thing yet but Gophers deserve to.

 

[QuilterFrawg]

Lucky 13 coming up.

 

[Moose Stuff]

The more I see of this team the less optimism I have.

 

[HornedFrog4Life]

Watch the Squeeze here. They bunt well and Schloss bringing in new pitcher.

 

[HornedFrog4Life]

The more I see of this team the less optimism I have.

Expectations was based on our rotation. Nothing great this yesr. But overall solid. Defense and mental part is lacking. We have been small balled all weekend
