Pokes at Horns

Well, got the top of the order up in the 9th. Need our dudes to be clutch right now.
 
T9

Closer on for UT in 3 innings of work

Crull grounds out to SS
Ehrhard walks
Benge singles to RF, Ehrhard to 2nd
Schubart K's swinging. Terrible in clutch time.
Meola K's swinging

Lead 5-4 in the 7th and then just went to sh*t against another soft tosser

The difference in this game has been pitching and fielding. The texasss reliever has stabilized the game for them. The Cowboy bullpen has bled runs.

While there are no errors on the board for the Cowboys, Schubart’s poor play has resulted in extra runs for them.

That’s fine…he’s our best option at first at the moment IMO. We don’t have another one. Is he an average defender…yes!! Not putting Meola there…he’s too valuable at second and third. I mean it’s not the first time Holliday has sacrifice offense for defense. Just ask Jake Thompson…he played over the field and couldn’t find a home
Schubert is a first baseman and I doubt he is any poorer defensively. Can’t keep giving up free baserunners, strikeouts and errors in the outfield.
 
We just stopped playing good baseball halfway through this game. Crowd was crazy loud and the horns wanted it more.

Started working there in the fall…has always played in the OF going back to HS…you play your best option and Collin is our best option. It is what it is. Again not saying Collin is a good defender but he’s better than Nolan would be at first at this junction. And yes it can be worse. Despite Collin’s 7 errors, he’s only given up 2 in conference play.
 
I can't help but notice that, while we play in a great venue, we have the most laid back crowd compared to other big programs. Texas fans made that a real home field advantage and were loud the whole night. You know they are on you all night in Lubbock. OU's softball crowd tonight made noise every time their pitcher gets two strikes. But you don't really see any of that at O'Brate. Even with 2 outs on the opponent in the 9th, the crowd is sitting.

I think part of the thing at O'Brate is that even though it can seat a lot of fans, very few of those fans are near the action, and of course as we've said half the crowd behind the plate doesn't show up anyway.

Anyway, kind of off topic, but just an observation.

We get up for some games and can make some noise but you’re right, the bulk of the crowd is away from the action. Outfield or down the lines, and nobody behind the plate shows up.

I’ve gone to a lot of games this year and I’d say between 1st to 3rd base, it’s typically 20%-30% filled. Pathetic.
 
3 “errors” on the night. Can’t throw. Can’t read a liner. Can’t knock it down. Can’t field against a fence. Ugly. Cost us the game

At least pull him in the middle innings and let him DH, especially if the Cowboys have the lead!
