[Horny Bull 2766]

Nixon strands the bases loaded. 5-4 Ok St M9.

[Ewreck10 288]

Well, that sucked. Let’s get 2 and keep playing 

[GottaB 594]

So Walk. Bunt 5-3, Interference. F8. Walk. Walk. K

[Droopy 2626]

Need 2 or nothing. No extras please. 🤘🏼

[Droopy 2626]

Fuckin Grizzly Adams pitching for Okie light

[chase25 2048]

Sums up the tournament 

[Barbacoa 1934]

Good at bat here. 

[MuellerHorn 4257]

Campbell keeps swinging at balls!

[zlavydra 2123]

Well, he fouled off balls 4 and 5

[GottaB 594]

Great fucking camera work on that long foul.

[Droopy 2626]

Fuck it. Let’s get back to Austin and prepare for the tournament. 🤘🏼

[Horny Bull 2766]

Texas falls, 5-4.

[TwiceHorn 31519]

Fucking perfect.

[GottaB 594]

Zone got a little wide in the bottom of the 9th

[HuntinHorn 986]

Watch that 3rd strike... shocked

[Barbacoa 1934]

What a kick in the nuts this tourney was. Just miserable. 

[CDAK 216]

I think that was a ball but he's been calling that pitch 4 inches off most of the game

[Tailgate 3022]

Fuck OUjr

[HuntinHorn 986]

Nothing like a kick in the nuts confidence wise before the real post season starts .

[ClubWhatever 12154]

Doomed by multiple guys in slumps.  Left a ton of opportunities on the table all tournament.  Have to snap out of it to go anywhere.   

[Valmy77 13263]

Ah shit. Ah well sucks to lose but we got a couple wins and ended OU's chances to get into the tournament. See you guys on Monday for the Regional selections.

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Good job good effort

I think getting back to Disch-Falk will help.

[T-shirt Sip 2107]

Well that was fitting. 

[B00M 6436]

Coin flip game in a hostile ballpark after coming out of losers bracket. Fuck the pussy rubbing, go get hot in Austin.

[NeverMarryAStripper 21919]

We need to institute a policy like they did for Willie Mays Hays.  You look at a called strike three and you do 25 push-ups right there at home plate.  How the fuck can you stand just stand there with 2 outs in the bottom of the ninth in an elimination game.

Because it was probably a ball.

Because it was an excellent pitch that fooled him and he wasn't going to touch it if he swung? Sometimes the pitcher beats you and you need a call to go your way. Just spit balling here...

.....AND...the OSU softball team looks like they’re in the process of sending our ladies home....barring a miracle.  F OSU!

[TwiceHorn 31519]

Still 9 Ks, but 8 hits at least.

I'm going to call it an improvement and be glad this death march of a meaningless tournament is over.

[Machinator 32099]

Remember that we went 0-2 in the Big 12 tournament the last time we went to Omaha.

The offense still needs to be a lot better than it was this week.

[Machinator 32099]

Dylan Campbell's at-bats was one of the few positives at the plate this week.

Yeah. Let's get rested and move on. Last thing we needed was for Zubia to sprain his wrist on a slide trying to win the 2nd leg of a doubleheader.

Feet from tying the game in the 9th, the way she goes sometimes

[Machinator 32099]

This explains Ivan's absence and (at least) partially explains his struggles of late.

Gotta correct this....Ladies have come back to score 4 in the 5th and 6th inning.   It ain’t over yet!

Ladies leading 4-1....bottom of the 6th...OSU gets one more bat.

I don’t even understand anyone being upset that we are done from this tournament. OnCr we went to the losers bracket there was zero upside to us playing all the way through ingot the finals. This worked out perfectly. We didn’t need 2 more games.

Well there was upside, you have an opportunity to give guys who don’t play a lot quality ABs with something on the line. Campbell was impressive today. Made the most consistent contact of anybody on the team this week outside of Zubia and Hodo. Could have done the same thing with the pitchers

But yes it is far from the end of the world

I think Hodo needs to hit 2nd

If I recall correctly he was actually leadoff batter earlier in the season. He's like Faltine (and frankly, Daly) in that he has stretches where he looks like a veteran at the plate and other times just overmatched. And of course, all three of those guys are underclassmen, so inconsistencies are to be expected.

I would still roll with Daly at the 2-hole because a) that's what we've done for the majority of this Big 12-winning season and b) he strikes out much less than Hodo.

This. We’re getting a top 8 seed, probably 3-4, so who cares about this tournament. The only team that should care at this point is KSU.

[Barbacoa 1934]

I’m still impressed with the size of that ok state club. Those were some big boys.

TCU is on the edge of a top 8 seed. I don't think it's certain for them yet. Winning the Big 12 tournament probably clinches a top 8 seed.
