2022 Big 12 Tournament Thread

I wish this dick announcer would stop talking about 7 innings. Shut the fuck up and let the game get played. It’s nothing to come back 8 runs.

[Valmy77 13,270]

Can Faltine stop sucking? This would be a cool time to break out of that slump.

Especially on our bullpens.

[Valmy77 13,270]

Hey look! Faltine got on base.

[dcar00 14,344]

maybe we can find a new way not to score leadoff runner.

[BillyGoatHill 4,312]

6th out of 7 innings with lead off on.....wonder what will happen next?

I think you're safe but like I said I'd want to strangle this dude if I was a pokes fan. You have yet to be up 10.

We're working on it.

Now Hodo on first with one out. EK up.

[dcar00 14,344]

hey a weak grounder to short!

[Valmy77 13,270]

Now Kennedy is in first base with two outs. Campbell up.

[BillyGoatHill 4,312]

Imagine that, no runs AGAIN. BS.

[Valmy77 13,270]

And Dylan flies out. Oh no we suck again.

Can't even get rid of this one pitcher.

[dcar00 14,344]

a 3-6-3 DP to end it would have been new but Kennedy too fast.

[B00M 6,457]

Resting melendez is interesting. 1st base isn't exactly the most physically taxing position. Id want him to get more at bats but whatever

[Pato del Muerto 52,571]

Decision decisions. Stranger things between games, or obi-wan. 

[ClubWhatever 12,154]

I don’t understand Pierce giving up on this game so early.  It was 6-0 with two thirds of the game left when he put Blair in.  That’s a give up move.

we don't want him to get hurt trying to beat out a DP ball.

[BillyGoatHill 4,312]

This team needs to go have a BBQ between games....

[dcar00 14,344]

nice play by kennedy.

I think it's more of a "you're in your own head and you've been shit at the plate - why don't you sit for a bit".

[Cairn Horn88 8,280]

Not a good time of the season to slip into a soft mental funk.  Shake it off, bite the head off a snake, eat a worm, hell....do something.

Referencing the the rain delay at Ol Miss back in the day. Turned out well for us. Course we did have J. Brent

[Cairn Horn88 8,280]

So, we beat them with our #1 pitcher, and they beat us with their #5 pitcher.....just don't seem right.

[Cairn Horn88 8,280]

Apparently, we didn't have any grits for breakfast.

Yeah again it's not like we have some secret plan to win the next game. Might as well try to win.

But oh well.

Bullpen is holding for whatever reason at least. Glad Stewart is eating up some innings and doing decently

Think you got six more outs in you Josh?

[B00M 6,457]

Defensive indifference there? Huh?

He is a really good reliever...just not a guy you expect to go 6 innings.

It was a delayed steal and I think Faltine got caught napping but I'd have to see a replay to be sure.

Gotcha. Honestly had no idea you could be indifferent while losing. Just seems laughably pathetic

Just need 3 more outs if Texas doesn't score at least 8 runs in next two innings...

If we lay an egg this afternoon, it’s going to come down to if the committee values H2H and RPI versus a regular season conference title. TCU will have an RPI close to 40 and we will have an RPI about 20 spots higher and have won 3 of 4 against them. Does that overtake the fact TCU won the regular season crown?

[Valmy77 13,270]

This is crazy. This is like us starting Cole Quintanilla last year and having him pitch a cg shutout. OSU lucky as fuck today. Their staff just got a huge boost.

Well that and we hit like shit.

Good point. 3 outs.

[Valmy77 13,270]

Travis coming in to close it out.

Yeah right. Not even our bullpen would give up 8 runs in an inning. We should have tanked in 7th.

[dcar00 14,344]

pathetic.

Every B12 regular season champion has hosted a regional per Craig Way

[Gut Wagon 8,087]

Watch a meatball, flail at an ankle banger. Well worth that long chat with Coach.

That’s not surprising. I would interested in I’m mowing if a team with an RPI around 40 has ever hosted a regional. That is insanely high for a regional host regardless of what conference they are coming out of.

We won’t get to host if we don’t make the finals.

ha.  announcer wondering if any of some of our worst BP arms are going to pitch next game...uh dude we gave up on this game in the 3rd inning.

[ztejas 43,528]

"Do you start Andre Duplantier"

[Valmy77 13,270]

The bullpen did really well today. Either that or OSU relaxed after their big lead. Either way only two runs given up after that disastrous start by Zane. 

Just wish we had at least burned some dudes from OSU.

[B00M 6,457]

Southard or Nixon and hope for some Bogusz like magic. 

[Hookem2147 21,348]

I think you start Stevens. Keeps him stretched out in case we need him to start down the road (which we will. I’ve watched this pitching staff)

Yeah Stevens is who we should start if he can go. This is a huge game this afternoon.

Been wondering about that. With how good he's been out of the pen though I'm not sure you mess with it.
