None of it was very convincing.

TCU leads Ohio State 14 to 13 at the half. USC leads Texas 14 to 13 with 2 minutes left in the first half.

Baggy pointed out earlier that Jose’s knee issues were causing him to pull down the line a lot. Worked well here.

Better from Devo. But that gopher ball was crushed.

Go an inning without giving up a homer, then think about strutting.

Getting out of an inning without giving up the lead is worth a half-strut.

I thought Peacock had mad cow disease or something...

Peacock had to throw 25 pitches in the 9th but gets it done.

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #119 on:** September 15, 2018, 09:31:32 pm »

Springer 4 for 5, Altuve 2 for 3.

Those 2 guys on an upswing would be welcome.

And Morton was CFM.

Plus Yuli with 2 run producing hits.

That line drive up the box broke the sound barrier.
