TCU UTA Game Thread

[Armadillo]

Daughter had a play at school so just tuning in on FrogVision. Like this score. And is this game produced only by FrogVision? Or is it on FSSW (I don’t think it’s televised)? Much better quality on FV if this is only a FV production.

Go Frogs.

(Sorry, too many questions)

Wooo birds coming in hot in the early season.

I think it's working.

B6. Parrish and Balta walk. Landestoy and Shepherd both single, each get an RBI. 13-1

Oviedo doubles in another. 14-1

Think this is only a frog vision broadcast, but you’re right. It’s quite clear and seems to be much improved.

Charles King in to pitch the Top of the 7th.

 

[QuilterFrawg]

King strikes out 3 in a row. On to B7.

And its over?

 

[QuilterFrawg]

WE WON! 14-1

Glad they ended it. They need to rest up for a real game tomorrow night.

The radio guys just said Wymer is hurt - said it was just for this weekend

That might explain why he hasn’t looked himself so far

 

[ftwfrog]

So, tomorrow Janzack, Saturday Lodolo, and Sunday wymer or nah?

And it seems as if we may not have used to many bullpen arms that may be needed this weekend.

Russel smith pitched only 1 inning because he is most likely the Sunday starter

Smith will start Sunday, which is why he only went an inning tonight

 

[flyfishingfrog]

Sure hope Wymer's injury is just something minor - we are going to need him this year given how good he can be

 

[Frog DJ]

Good job, guys!

Go Frogs!

Very happy with the score, of course I'm confused by this ending, can anyone enlighten as to the official call and what is required to "mercy rule" an opponent?

From what I've understood there are two specific exceptions allowing not to play out the full 9. Seven-inning games are allowed if (A) it's the final day of an intra-conference series or (B) two teams (in a non-conference match) have a scheduled double header.

"NCAA rule defining a standard game as nine innings; it allows for seven-inning games to be played only in doubleheaders (defined as games 30 minutes apart between the same two opponents) and when conference rules allow for 10-run mercy provisions."

But I know individual conferences also tweak this rule.. so was this a big 12 ruling or how does it work?

Given both teams will be playing 4 days straight (Thursday + weekend series) the mercy rule was a good thing.

I do like that in the early innings they used the pitch/batter clock of 15 seconds?

I think both coaches just have to agree on it before hand - not sure the B12 has a rule for non-conference beyond that idea.

The only requirement for applying the mercy rule is agreement before the game.
