Ughh that dude was crap thru the year but put it together and can throw 3 legit pitches and will be drafted whenever he is eligible. 

so are you jealous we waited him out and worked him, till we could square him up and then finally get a big hit against him. 

But you couldn't do that against Bednar? Sorry... 

 

 

No I'm not jealous. We won convincingly today against a team that was a higher national seed than you. We also went yard on your fat reliever and had 2 more hits before coming up short in the bottom of the 9th. 

You're a solid team and peaking at the right time but Texas is plenty capable of handing you 2 losses. We lost one series all year.

Don't we have a resident UVA poster on here from way on way back when?  Hard to get a read on their staff when their 4th starter no-hits one of the better offensive teams in Omaha through 7.  Fucking weird.  Cavs staff gets murky from here on out.  And not in a predictable way.  

Looking at their staff, I suspect we'll see a cohort staff approach for 5-7 innings.  Savino is the obvious choice for pure starter, but Vasil and Messinger (who only went 9 pitches tonight).  I think there's a hodge-podge in there before turning it over to their even more mediocre bullpen.  

I don't expect a slug-fest.  All you want is Hansen for 7 full innings.  And have him ready to go again on Tuesday of finals if we make it that far.  UVA is obviously scrappy, or they wouldn't make it this far.  We're gonna have a weird game on Thursday night.  But it's on to face MSU this weekend.

I already told you.. tn was a joke. they couldn't consistently hit when they aren't at home with the short porch.  t 

Well we beat the highest seed left in omaha. so what does that say about that team? come on man.. brining up seeding in Omaha after 2 rounds??

You lost one series all year in the Big 12... congrats, look around and see where the rest of your conference ended their season. 

but you showed your ability to make a credible argument when you went after simms for being fat??? ugh that's some serious butthurt over him being one of the best relivers in the nation.

We are all degenerates on this site, don't think we speak for Texas fans in general.

I do have to say sitting there watching your fans getting fired up and Sims pitch and the MSU team getting hyped I am not super confident about our chances of beating you twice. Especially as we are going to get Bednar and McLeod who have already beaten us.

But hey I would like the opportunity to see us do so.

Somewhere A&M is dogpiling after that comeback tonight. The other 13 SEC teams are the pride of College Station.

today was weird for the first half, then it just settled into a momentum shift being held under control by Texas.  Only the fans and the announcers had no fucking idea that was happening, only the two rosters did.  Today's game was actually far more out of reach than 8-4 suggests.  UVA is gonna go even more "all-hands-on-deck" (I hate that phrase in baseball) in terms of pitching.  It's gonna grind on us.  We're probably gonna again win by 3-4 like today but it's gonna feel like a 1-run game for 5 hours.  They don't have the talent of arms of the Vols but they are awash in situational guys.  Their fielding is solid, they do walk guys, I think we won't be as bloodthirsty as today, we may be more measured as we look ahead.  I think we ride Hansen for 7 innings and just methodically deal with their bullshit and win 5-2.  I know it's one game at a time, yadayadayada...but at some level it's okay for us fans to look at how we stack up for the weekend with MSU.  

A week ago, I said eventual pitching attrition showdown with MSU for 2 games the following weekend.  I didn't see us both getting there the way we are, but it's coming nonetheless.  This thing is going to Saturday with Horns and Dawgs.  And it's gonna be about pitching.  Ain't no 12-10 SEC bullshit in this bracket this season in this Omaha incarnation.  Just gonna be weird how it all shakes out is all.  But in arms race.....bet on the side with the actual fucking arms.

He's confused. It's tied for the biggest comeback at Ameritrade. Obviously there have been bigger comebacks in the CWS.

Well, I got tired of using the term "patchwork" and "hodge-podge" and Ben McDonald killed five thesauri in Omaha...so here we fucking are (dangling prepositions and all).  

Virginia has a group of pitchers who will throw baseballs at us on Thursday. And it'll be to their detriment.  It ain't Shakespeare, but then again that fucking gimp wouldn't hit above the .200 Marlowe line to save his life.

I’d feel confident if I was Mississippi state after watching bednars performance against us and a big comeback win, but it’s probably a bit overdone from drunk msufan.

as @NeverMarryAStripper posted, it took a record setting performance from him, and they escaped in the bottom of the 9th.

I’d be willing to bet that we learned something from that abysmal hitting performance now that we have tape, and perhaps a normal strike zone.

[WBT 20411]

We mostly learned we can't hit Bednar.

Our kids grew up watching Texas win in Omaha.  The program has a way of carrying itself.  One legend made after another. MSU might be the team this year but I’ll take our chances riding with the Texas mystique versus their “could this be the year” momentum. University of Texas at Omaha baby.

He pitched the game of his life. He's usually a double digit K guy but that performance was far and above from normal. If you saw him again, I would think you would have better results.

Maybe. wasn't drunk unless drunk on excitement.  

If you think all they need is tape, you should have already had that from February. If you mean on Bednar, why didn't they have tape from 14 starts /80 IP he has thrown this year?  Won't matter. won't see Bednar till Saturday at the earliest.. if even then.

I guess you'd wanna save him to open the Finals series on Monday, should MSU make it that far.  But I'd be tempted to throw him against Texas again on Friday (5 days rest) and then again on Tuesday or Wednesday of the finals series (4-5 days rest).  You hold him back for an "if necessary" start on Saturday, and that comes to fruition...he's burned for the finals, maybe for a limited possibility on Wednesday if it even goes that far.  

[Droopy 2623]

Ladies and Gentlemen, fuck all that MSU pitcher bullshit back and forth. Who gives a fuck? I don't care if they put Nolan Ryan in maroon and white and put his ass on the mound. This team just woke up and is about to start kicking ass and ripping throats.

Yep... I see both sides of the point. We may be able to even save him past saturday depending on what Texas would be throwing, as it would your 5 game vs our 4th. 

We do still have Fristoe who was our 3rd starter for most of the year, Macloud could come back for another try after throwing less than 50 pitches, Cade Smith who got the win last night has made a few quality starts. Lots of options... but then you risk going home without throwing your best player.
