2022 Big 12 Tournament Thread

The guy who was supposed to be the setup man for our closer who is no longer our closer starting this game sums up our pitching staff perfectly.

[Valmy77 13092]

Well at least we got an out.

Frustrating everybody else's shitty 6 ERA pitchers have been awesome today and ours are pitching like 6 ERA pitchers.

Yeah fuck that guy he only battled through early adversity and quietly turned his season around. We'll save him for tomorrow

[Valmy77 13092]

Fuck another damn walk.

[chase25 2048]

There is just nothing about Duplantier that looks good. The worst part is Andre knows that too

Saying Nixon turned his season around seems a tad generous.

[ztejas 43244]

Someone explain to Duplantier how balls and strikes work. 

[Valmy77 13092]

Oh thank God. Every out is like mana from heaven.

[Hookem2147 20910]

If only there was a way to predict this would happen.

If only we had a guy with starting experience down there who was available and has looked good in this tournament already.

I will say he got into a couple good counts just can't find that 3rd strike. 

3 good counts now. And there's a strike 3!

Fuck it I'll take 1 run.

Not a bad start 

[zlavydra 2116]

Damn. Good 2-strike pitch 

[Fletch 5798]

Ok. That could’ve been worse. Much worse. Time for a crooked number 

[dcar00 14023]

everything going according to plan.  probably wanted to try to get 2 innings out of Duplantier

well he might not be dumpster fire status anymore so there's that.

[Spaceman_Spiff 121]

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. 

No disagreement that the offense needs to show up. Any way you slice it, this game we need a big showing. My only thought is that we need a third starter much more than another arm in the pen. If morehouse isn’t that guy, its most likely stevens. Maybe I could see throwing southard or Olivares and hope you get a good showing they can roll into regionals. But Dre, we’ve been through this…its just not going to happen.

Lets also just reflect on the fact that Olivares has 1 ER in twenty(!) innings and we’re throwing Blair and Duplantier out there. Really saving him for that super needed situation huh.

[Valmy77 13092]

Yeah! He did it! Ok offense stop being garbage and let's get some runs.

[Wishbone 4731]

Well that could’ve been much worse. But I don’t feel much better. Yet.

[BillyGoatHill 4276]

Get out of it only giving up one.

Bats need to wake the fuck up.

He has two pitches with similar timing windows. Fastball that sits 90 and a slider that sits 85-87. That’s not a recipe for success. Hopefully Pierce is just trying to get 2ish innings out of him.

I will feel better when the offense gets going. 

[Wishbone 4731]

Ok, get it going now.

[Fletch 5798]

Atta way to be a 30 year old senior, Todd!

[Valmy77 13092]

Todd singles to lead off.

[Hookem2147 20910]

Eh, I guess. I recall just last weekend him walking 3 in 2 innings and being all over the place. 

He’s had a few good low leverage outings against Texas southern and those types, but his Big 12 ERA is 6 with 15 walks in 15 innings.

[Valmy77 13092]

Come on Silas. How about an extra base hit?

[ztejas 43244]

Messinger has been shitty too. Someone needs to find something. 

[ztejas 43244]

Austin "Crash Davis" Todd putting these kids on his back.

Lol I mean I did say "quietly" turned around. He went from averaging a walk every inning to like 1 walk every 2 innings. From dumpster fire status to like a small microwave fire.

2147 bringing the b12 stats. Ouch lol

[BillyGoatHill 4276]

Stay away from pitches out of the zone and we might get something going..... I know , easier said than done.

[Fletch 5798]

Alright got something cookin here. Also looks like we’re figuring him out 

[Wishbone 4731]

Ok, we need a base hit now.

Yeah. 2 guys on. We saw this a few times thus morning. 

Time to break through

[Valmy77 13092]

Two on for our hero Mitchell Daly. How about another double Mitch?

[Fletch 5798]

This boy is tired. Already 

[rivin 199]

lol thanks pitcher

[tejas60 3526]

we needed that...

 

[ztejas 43244]

Jesus I knew Daly was going to do that. What a gift. 

[chase25 2048]

Hopefully that can be the break that relaxes us

[BillyGoatHill 4276]

Holy Shit! Baseball gods smile on us!

[Wishbone 4731]

Hahahah! Yeah!

[hobbes2702 12771]

I’ll take it. Anything to break the drought

[Fletch 5798]

There we go!!!!!! He looked tired and there was a lazy throw. Keep him in!!!!

[ztejas 43244]

Piss on one Trey. For everything that's just in the world. 

[B00M 6278]

It's so easy to throw that ball into right-center. Hopefully the error affects his pitching

[Valmy77 13092]

That will work as well! 1-1

Come on Trey, let's get more

[BillyGoatHill 4276]

C'mon Trey. Stay away from that low crap

[Fletch 5798]

This fucker is done 

[BillyGoatHill 4276]

Continue to make this guy pitch.....having trouble with the zone.

[ztejas 43244]

Fuck yes Trey great fucking rip.

[rivin 199]

We need to pile it on
