well one more chance to strand leadoff batter.  how appropriate.

[tejas60 3533]

damn good game by Bogues

[Valmy77 13226]

Finally made OSU go to their pen.

Yep. Clutch. It is pitching performances like that that win championships. We need something like that this afternoon.

[Cairn Horn88 8264]

What a rollercoaster team this is.  Hope it is just a one game implosion.

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

He’s about the only guy I trust to go multiple innings. Southard, Johnson, Olivarez, Harrison have all shown that they are at their best in 1 inning spurts.

It’s a big game and I want a guy with big game experience throwing. I will be able to live with it if he is bad and we lose. I will be livid if we throw out some other guy who quickly gives up 3 runs and then Stevens comes in and we lose 4-2 or some such.

[Gut Wagon 8079]

This game is totally bogus. But it is not totally Bogusz. 

[ztejas 43454]

8 innings just 5 ks to 3 walks and a hbp and we didn't score a run. What are the odds. Hopefully the luck flips this afternoon. 

[dcar00 14210]

Daly has zero plan at the plate.  it really is shocking.

[Valmy77 13226]

Hey look at Daly! Nice hit dude. 8-1.

[B00M 6416]

Holy shit WE DID IT

[LTtxfan 49195]

Not sure why B12 tournament doesn't set up bracket where the losers bracket team winners (okie lite and k-state) don't cross over to other side of the brackets so you avoid 3 games against the same team.

Today's games would have been:

Texas vs k-state

blOU vs okie lite

[Balcones 315]

Not going to be a shutout. That might sway the committee enough to give us a regional.

[ztejas 43454]

What the fuck are you seeing Trey.

Better than Faltine's plan.

[dcar00 14210]

holy shit. that is the worst AB of the year bar none.

[BillyGoatHill 4312]

Annnnnnd the comeback starts!!!  8-1 

[Hookem2147 21308]

I’ve beaten this dead horse too many times but the feast or famine nature of Faltine at the plate makes me want to pull my hair out.

I saw a stat the other day where he’s struck out, walked or homered in over 70% of his conference AB’s.

[Pato del Muerto 52502]

Maybe look for and attack the outside fastball

If Texas doesn't beat okie lite this afternoon, not sure the Longhorns deserve to host a regional...

6 games vs okie lite & only 1 win would be bad

[dcar00 14210]

thank god that's over.

[Pato del Muerto 52502]

Lol beautiful Arlington 

[Valmy77 13226]

And we close out unable to get a guy from 2nd home with no outs. Sucks.

Ok let's do it again. We either get the bats going or we are not getting out of a regional whether we host or no.

Gotta win guys, you got your shitty post-season performance out of the way. No more.

Does tcu deserve to host with 4 games vs Texas and only 1 win?

Yes... They won the B12 regular season

Like it or not, out right conference regular season champs.

Big 12 regular season champion has NEVER not hosted under the present NCAA format.

Man, this was such a weird year in the Big 12. First place and sixth place separated by 2 games.

If there was a year for the committee to go agains the grain, this is it.

Great results from your speed guy.

[Valmy77 13226]

Sure hope OU loses. That would cheer me up.

I don't mind us getting things we don't deserve.

[LTtxfan 49195]

Winner of okie lite vs Texas this afternoon should get to host a regional...

Pretty simple...

That’s the other part that stings. OU has an easy path to the finals against a Kansas state team with NO pitching left.

If they win it all they will have an argument to host.

That's why I mentioned crossover of loser bracket winners earlier in thread...

blOU should have faced okie lite today

Texas would have played k-state

[Hookem2147 21308]

 

[Valmy77 13226]

Ah well good move then. We also had Gordon have fluids issues. Baseball team needs more pee charts.

Yeah these mother fuckers talking about the sun belt hosting 3 regionals and the ACC getting 5. Fuck all that. B12 deserves 4. Also fuck the rest of the B12.

The sun belt has been really good this year. There’s no doubt in my mind that Texas State and GA Southern deserve to host. I don’t see a third regional host. I assume they are talking Louisiana but that seems like a stretch to me, though they certainly deserve a bid. 

[LTtxfan 49195]

Yeah, probably only 3 B12 teams will get to host a regional imo...

Tech should travel to a regional

[Hookem2147 21308]

Pisses me off that our hosting hopes have basically come down to one game.
 

Makes me think of all the games we’ve blown this year that wouldn’t have put us in this position.

A regional in Statesboro would be depressing, like everything in and around Statesboro.
