Big game vs OSU today

[Vlyrock]

Rubber game is today at 1:00. Ags need to win this one and take the series. :popcorn:

[PinetarAg]

I went yesterday...good game even though we lost...great crowd

[Dustin00whoop]

I'll be heading to the MotherLand in about 30 minutes for today's game!

OSU ranks among the nation's top hitting teams. Notable Team numbers:

Batting Average; 4th .346
Home Runs: 3rd, 58
Scoring: 5th, 8.9 runs per game
Slugging percentage; 2nd, .566

All of this with a pitching guru coach named Frank Anderson. Remember him? He was the pitching coach at Texas and Texas Tech. Won a national title in 2002. Anderson swapped jobs as it turn out with former head coach Tom Holliday.

good, close series so far... i wish one was televised!

[jagowar]

it is on aggieathletics.com but i dont think its open to the public.

[Vlyrock]

Well, off to another crappy start. Top of the 1st and the Ags have an error already and are in a 3-0 hole. All 3 runs are unearned. :(

[Vlyrock]

Ags have 2 on and no outs in the bottom of the first...maybe we can make a run here and get the playing field level again.. :popcorn:

Free live link, but you have to register. Very good quality.

[Vlyrock]

Ags stole 2nd and 3rd...so now, runners on 2nd and 3rd, no outs -- Blake Stouffer is batting.

[Vlyrock]

Blake doubled to right...just like that, it's 3-2. :gig:

[Vlyrock]

[Vlyrock]

3-3., Gig:

[Vlyrock]

We knocked their starter out. He pitched 1/3 of an inning and gave up 3 ER. Ouch!

[Vlyrock]

OSU tagged us for 2 more in the top of the 2nd. Ags coming to bat down 5-3.

[jagowar]

what a stupid mistake that was....

[Vlyrock]

Ags just made another STUPID mistake...

Hicks hit a HR, but the outfielder pretended he caught it, so Ruggiano (a pinch runner) tried to tag up and allowed Hicks to pass him (who was just standing there). So, a 2 run homerun, turned into a 1 run homerun and now we're down 5-4.

Not sure how they're going to score it...I guess it'll be called a single.

[Vlyrock]

Looks like we just lucked out...apparently OSU hit a "home-run" off the top of the wall, but it wasn't called that, so nobody scored. OSU now has runners on 2nd and 3rd with 1 out. Jason Meyer is coming in to pitch now.

[legelegel]

Did this game get started at 1:00? They keep this up and it's going to be a 4 hour game. :popcorn:

[Vlyrock]

Yeah, started on time. Meyer battled well...he struck out two and got the Ags out of the inning without giving up any runs. Now, let's hope we can take the lead in the bottom...

[Vlyrock]

The run scoring has slowed down, 2 goose eggs for each of us in the 3rd.

[Vlyrock]

Wow...OSU just crushed a Homerun over the "monster" Ags now down 6-4.

[Vlyrock]

It's tied up 6-6 and the Ags have runners at the corner with 1 out in the bottom of the 4th. C'mon Ags. :towel:

[Vlyrock]

Stole 2nd... (stole on a pitchout)...Dustin was right, we're a stealing machine. :)

[Vlyrock]

And just as quickly we're back down 7-6....this sucks...we need to get the freakin' lead!

[Vlyrock]

This makes me so mad to watch. Wild pitch with 2 strikes and 2 outs in the top of the 5th. 8-6 now. :(

[Vlyrock]

Very next pitch, a strikeout. So, technically, it should be 7-7 without errors, but now we're in an 8-6 hole.

[legelegel]

It certainly has been an entertaining game so far.:popcorn:

[Vlyrock]

Bases loaded for Ags in the bottom of the 5th, 1 out....
Parker Dalton coming to the plate. Time to be the hero!

[Vlyrock]

2-0 count and 11 straight balls. :gig:

[Vlyrock]

Full count, bases loaded. :gig:

[legelegel]

OSU is going to run out of pitching before this game is over.

[Vlyrock]

base hit!!

8-8.. :towel:

[Vlyrock]

we really need to take the lead and stop playing this tie then fall behind game.

[jagowar]

well we did ;)

10-8

[BigJohn]

Ags up 10-8 at the start of the 6th

[jagowar]

11-8 off a leadoff homer

[jagowar]

11-10 now going into the bottom of the 8th.

[jagowar]

and they go up in the top of the 9th on a 2 run hr (thanks to a walk)

11-12 now.

[jagowar]

ballgame ags go down..... very bad way to lose with all the mistakes we made.

[Vlyrock]

How many "should-a-wons" does that make for us this year? It's so frustrating... :headslap:

vly<----a sabres fan?:huh:

[Vlyrock]

Yeah, my teams are weird. I'm a Sabres (NHL) and Bills fan (NFL). I'm a Hornets fan in the NBA. A Giants fan in MLB.

[WesTxAg]

man...talk about waiting a while for a championship...btw, vly, looks like you're about to hit a pretty impressive milestone there, buddy


maybe a "shock & awe" hotties thread coming our way here in the near future?

[Vlyrock]

Man, I'm 10 posts away from 10,000....guess I need to pull something out here... I may be late in coming, but I'll see what I can do.

[Pflugerville Ag]

So for anyone at the game (Dustin), when the crazy Aggie homerun happened we only scored one run, what was the umpire signalling when it happened? If the ump said that the ball was caught, then how would that work?

[jagowar]

from what i saw they didnt signal anything for a sec because they were trying to see if it had gotten out or not and by the time they did it was too late.

[Dustin00whoop]

I was sitting 3 rows up right behind 1st base...no umpire made a call at all. As a matter of fact, they called Hicks out about the same time the home plate umpire signaled HR. That game pissed me off. Ty Wright is a freaking prick. However, Jordy Mercer has a very hot sister who also has a very hot friend. We were sitting right behind them giving them ************ up until the 9th inning.
