Oh Christ we’re starting Duplantier!?!? Well. Here we go. Time to be a hero

All we gonna hear from the dudes calling the game is arm tilt, slot and angle.  Maybe they throw in "big league body" and "has all the tools" too.

Let's do this! Time for everybody to step up and have a great game. Pitching carried us the first two games, but we need the whole team bringing it now. Even you Faltine.

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.

Thinking about this post

This would be a great time for someone like Duplantier to roll out of bed Saturday or Sunday deciding to shove for 3 innings.

Also thinking about this 

[VirginiaLonghorn 4781]

The question is whether Pierce lets Duplantier pitch with the bases loaded in the first inning?

[Fletch 5800]

I mean it would be typical Texas postseason baseball for Duplantier to go out there and randomly mow them down. I’m not expecting it but we’ve seen it all in postseason play over the years

Hell we saw it with three pitchers today. Everybody except Morehouse.

We're due.

Who is the guy throwing for them? Hope he sucks.

[dcar00 14344]

would be nice if our O did what they are supposed to do and took some pressure off the lower end of our pitching.  all these stats don't help if you don't do it when it matters.

Good guys off to the finals.  😎

I appreciate your confidence in us.

[OU Sucks 8907]

Duplantier has 8 HBP in 23 innings.  Is that good?  It seems good.

[Fletch 5800]

Aww man we get 2 nerdy lookin dudes instead of swindell? Oh well 

[tejas60 3534]

got damnit, same announcers. 

[tejas60 3534]

visiting team again? fuck this conference.

[Valmy77 13270]

WTF? How can we be the visiting team for the fourth straight game?!

[Hookem2147 21348]

How many dudes does OSU have who throw 95+ with a plus breaking ball? 

[Valmy77 13270]

Anyway come on Hodo that is no way to start us off. Give Duplantier a lead please guys.

[tejas60 3534]

so now Duplantier has a reason to hit a bitch.

[Valmy77 13270]

I guess OSU liked Pierce's plan of hitting the other team's batters.

[Fletch 5800]

Oh fuck off he threw that shit right fucking at him

Infinity times how many we have

[ztejas 43528]

I don't care who's pitching it's going to be a patchwork game of guys that haven't been good enough to start weekend games this season. All of y'all pining for Stevens must have forgotten how fucking terrible he was in his last few starts. I commented earlier that he's got some stuff cooking out of the pen - why mess with that? He will get innings today either way. 

Bigger issue - Ivan needs to show the fuck up. Trey finding a couple hits would help as well.

That big steroid fucker would be nice to hit in his back. SET the tone.

I mean what more can you ask for than 8 HBP and a dozen grand slams in 23 innings? Good thing we don't have to worry about watching electric pitchers trying out a new role like Nixon or Southard

[BillyGoatHill 4312]

Shitty start.

[Valmy77 13270]

Well not a great way to start. We seem to have hit a slump at a bad time. Hope Andre can hold them for an inning at least.

Interesting the conference rule book for baseball isn’t found online. Cracker Jack conference 

[Fletch 5800]

No shit that’ll go foul you fucking dork 

[Hookem2147 21348]

Gonna be hilarious when Stevens is scrambling in the bullpen in 2 batters 

[BillyGoatHill 4312]

Lead off walk. Better get the pen busy.

[ztejas 43528]

B12 coaches voted to let the higher seed be the home team in every game. Which is fucking stupid because obviously there's the potential for teams to meet more than once. Blame the B12 coaches I guess.

it was slicing.

[Valmy77 13270]

Well fuck.

[Cairn Horn88 8280]

Can anyone explain home vs visitor in this tourney?

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Not a promising start

[Fletch 5800]

Ok. Good start. Right where we want em 

[B00M 6457]

We didn't see the fake coming? He showed bunt forever.

Duplantier's number should not be 88. it should be

Just explained by Craig. Said the coaches voted for that format. Higher seed is always home. That's fucking stupid.

They’re part of a league. A league of morons. A league of morons I’ve been fighting my entire fucking life 

[zlavydra 2123]

This kind of pisses me off. What did Dre do to deserve this start? Throw meatballs to college of fucking Charleston?

[B00M 6457]

86-89 mph heat with no control will be successful against an elite offense right?
