Well two of them have been against the same pitcher and tonight he had a career game. WVU then got hammered the next two days. 

It doesn't seem especially difficult to beat this Texas team once - but beating them twice has proven to be extremely hard. 

True. Tech and WV twice got us. 

Anyway whatever happens I am very confident Stevens and Hansen will easily win the next two games.

[TwiceHorn 31514]

Yeah fuck this. 

[Machinator 32099]

That is definitely a wild pitch.

5-1 WVU

[Valmy77 13251]

Ok what is up with all the getting the ball to the catcher issues? Reminds me of 2019.

Although if we throw this many wild pitches and PBs I'm not sure we're beating anyone in the postseason.

Jfc more shit before I even get to turn it off.

Not true. We have struggled the last couple series in the Friday Night game, though we were able to pull it out against TCU.

It is a pattern and a concerning one.

True. But, with playing a 4 seed first, I feel like some of that rust or Friday night jitters we’ve been having and we’ll be more then ready to face a team with similar talent to ou in the winners bracket. We’ll be ready. Calling it. Kennedy wins Austin regional mvp

[Levi 2588]

It’s in the middle with the conference tournament as a top seed. Does this tournament matter? Not really. Do you want to at least win a game or two so your not going into regionals with negative feel? Yeah you do. If we were to go 0-2 it might move us from 2-3 seed to 3-4 seed. We won’t fall out of the top 5. 

[Machinator 32099]

That person who wanted to see Southard throw will get their wish.

Edit: nevermind

I kind of meant in succession. Sure - if you can throw your ace two days in a row it makes it easier. 

[zlavydra 2123]

I'd love to see someone, anyone, hit a double and not make stupid fucking signals to the bench.

[TwiceHorn 31514]

I might think we were kind of believing some of our own bullshit combined with the nothingness nature of this tournament.

So, this might serve as a bit of a wakeup call.

Hell, they might still win this tournament.

Really? I didn’t realize that. Thanks David. You’re full of information, as always. Obnoxious fucktard

Yeah but some of the top teams have two aces, like us for example.

[Valmy77 13251]

Finally got to the bottom of the ninth.

[Guest Lobo]

Split the season series with maybe the worst Big XII team in 3 years.  Very impressive, Texas.  

We likely just played ourselves from the National #2 to the #4 seed.

We’ll be playing at the Disch till Omaha. We’re pretty filthy at home

Tournament is not over yet dude. Stevens and Hansen will get their wins. We will be #2.

Lighten up, Francis.

[ztejas 43524]

This ump is just making shit up at this point.

Whatever. See y'all tomorrow. 

[Machinator 32099]

Wolf will attempt to pitch the complete game.

[Guest Lobo]

Yes, i know. But we've played 4 games with WVU, hence my "split the season series" comment.  We played them 4 times, went 2-2.  And WVU is fucking godawful this season.  Beyond bad.  And we only managed 2-2 against them.  That's rough.

I wouldn't be surprised if Mazey started their closer tomorrow. They have nothing else.

What? They're sitting at .500. They weren't even the worst team in the B12 this year. 

[Valmy77 13251]

I mean that kind of says it all about West Virginia's confidence in their bullpen. No four run lead is safe, let's just have this kid throw 140 pitches.

[Fletch 5800]

No but you’re dumb enough to actually think we’d be eliminated after this game. This is my concern, dude 

[ztejas 43524]

We'll still ruin this guy's complete game though 😂

[Machinator 32099]

Hodo works a one-out walk. Wolf remains in the game.

They are not that bad. They have problems but they can hit and have Wolf. They have terrible, terrible pitching after Wolf and have fielding issues but they aren't garbage.

They gonna let him walk em loaded? Bold strategy.

No they aren't and no we didn't.  We're National 2 or 3 no matter what happens this weekend.

[Machinator 32099]

4-6-3 ends the game.

Wolf gets the complete game.

[Valmy77 13251]

Ah well.

Shitty game.

Stevens will win it tomorrow though.

Or Faltine can just hit into another double play. 

[Fletch 5800]

Great. Lobo is spouting his insane tournament seeding shit, Dennison is here and apparently we suck again 

Chill, y’all. We’ll win a couple games here then have home field advantage till Omaha where we’ve been pretty fucking good all year. Christ. This isn’t fucking football. Baseball is cool like that. Anyone can win on any day. Unfortunately it wasn’t us today 

[rivin 199]

Pathetic.

[Mo Horn 8852]

So much for the 1 seed. Pissed that away. 

[Levi 2588]

Also, I can deal with a starter going 100ish pitches in a complete game but 137 pitches against the 1 seed absolutely sucks. 

[GreenspointTexas 9662]

Horrible loss

Honestly good for him. Doesn't change anything for us - he'll remember this forever. Especially if we make noise.

It's not insane.  We may go 0-2 in our own tourney as the #1 seed.  That may downgrade us from #2 national to #3 or #3 national to #4.  conference tourneys do serve a purpose.  They tweak a spot or two here and there.

The #2 team just got ass whipped by a sub .500 wvu team while playing for a big 12 championship. Its embarrassing

Yeah I hope someday he will tell his grandchildren about that time he beat the 2021 national champions.
