Who is on the bump today?

Liam Simon

A&M going with their game 1 starter who game up 7 ER on 44 pitches in 1.2 IP on Friday vs OU

 

[Blazers46]

Love being on Mountain Time... 12pm start for me!! Breaks up my day well!!

 

[Some Irish Bloke]

Go Irish! Beat Aggies!

This just in: Dante Moore said whoever wins this baseball game will earn his commitment*

*for now

Simon looks outstanding early

Simon looks outstanding early

Damn straight, struck out the side in the first hitting 98 on the gun.

 

[IrishTusker]

Don't love bunting right away

 

[BleedBlueGold]

Wow, what a way to get out of that inning. 2 on with no outs. Get a break with a strikeout, pick off a steal, finish with a strikeout. That could've gotten ugly, fast.

 

[Some Irish Bloke]

Way too many early swings, 11 pitches to record their first four outs.

Need to work the count a bit.

 

[BleedBlueGold]

Not good here

 

[BeauBenken]

Liam looked good for only one inning. Sheesh.

 

[MacIrish75]

Doesn’t matter that you can throw in the mid 90s if you can’t throw strikes…somehow hold them to 1-2 this half and that’s a small victory.

 

[stpeteirish]

Great fielding all year and it comes apart in the CWS. Loaded with seniors who've been trying to get there for 4-5 years. Piss down your pants. Surprising

What was Brannigan doing? Did he think there was two outs?

 

[Some Irish Bloke]

Three walks and an error...in one inning. Yikes

 

[Blazers46]

What was Brannigan doing? Did he think there was two outs?

Go home, step on third... throwing to 1st should have been last option even with two outs.

 

[IrishTusker]

Have they had any hits this inning? I don't think so, right?

Exactly. Going to first was a really bad decision

 

[arrowryan]

I didn’t know this pitching staff was this pathetic. Absolute miracle they made it this far with 2 competent pitchers.

 

[IrishTusker]

The pitching was bad, etc., but the play of death that inning was the dropped pop up. It's a tough location but the CF needs to run and call for that.

 

[Some Irish Bloke]

Honestly this game could be a lot worse through 2.5 innings. Two really bad base running blunders from the Aggies has kept this thing at only three runs.

 

[Blazers46]

Have they had any hits this inning? I don't think so, right?

Like watching the little league world series

 

[arrowryan]

They really picked the worst time of the season to not hit, throw strikes, or play defense.

 

[Some Irish Bloke]

Can't catch a damn break right now. My goodness.

 

[Blazers46]

Both teams are trying to hand the other team runs... ND just needs to take advantage their opportunites.

 

[DCDomer]

Digging our own hole defensively which goes against everything we've done this year. If you suck at your best attributes, it's going to be hard to win.

Sorry... just realized it was ND trying to hand them more runs 1/2 inning ago. I am working and watching.

[Irish#1]

Disappointing play on offense and defense.

 

[BeauBenken]

A&M getting pop ups into holes of our defense so easily.

 

[BabyIrish]

Lead off homer and two walks with no outs have brought some life back into the Irish
