I wish they would flex the finale to ESPN since the Big 12 is on the line.

If we had just decent pitching in the 8th and 9th all season, we would be a top 5-6 team

[Hookem2147 21335]

44 RPI points separate us from the team currently in the #20 spot (East Carolina). We would gain 27 points with a win today. Could really use a slip up from DBU, OSU and Miami.

Woo-hoo! Hook em!

Great post.  You are gonna have a great future on Surly!

[Hammerin Hank 1227]

Does anyone need a parking pass for the garage? We ended up with an extra. Free.  DM me 

[Hookem2147 21335]

Duplantier DH’ing today. That pitch Carlson took to the elbow must be lingering.

“At least we have a trophy. Now, let's win the B12 outright tomorrow.
WVU will be the 1, 2, or 3 seed in the conference tourney. The Mountaineers can be the top seed only if it wins tomorrow. If Texas and OU win, we're the 2 seed. If Texas and OSU win, WVU would drop to the 3 seed, based on the combined records ("mini-conference") of the tied teams against each other. Texas would be 4-2, OSU 3-3, and WVU 2-4.
A rainout would be nice, but the forecast for Austin calls for zero percent precip tomorrow.”

Someone tell them they are supposed to hit that little white ball with the big metal stick they are holding in their hands. Tell our pitchers they are not supposed to let Texas hit the little white ball.

Saturday is among the most important baseball games in WVU's history. Not just winning the B12 outright but confidence going into the post-season. Getting swept at this point in the season isn't good mentally.

WVU forum.

 

[Hookem2147 21335]

We got those hillbillies wishing for a rainout. This is what happens when you get cute and try to save pitching. Time to put the nail in the coffin.

[ClubWhatever 12144]

So Witt, Sthele, Burke, ???, profit?

[Hookem2147 21335]

Would think everyone is available outside of Gordon and LBJ. Maybe Whitehead too, but I bet he could give you a batter or two if needed.

What’s Witt up to for pitch count now?

Threw 40 last week, so I would think 50ish today.

[zlavydra 2123]

We've crushed Hampton the previous two years. Is he pitching today?

[zlavydra 2123]

[Bevo&Pevo 5205]

Well sports fans welcome The Crushening Part III.  Bevo's squad sends these hillbillies down country roads back to Mountian Momma WV as swept.

TEXAS FIGHT!

PLAY BALL!

[TexArcher 37975]

Nice pick at first ends an easy inning.

Be afraid, couches......

[Bevo&Pevo 5205]

Is a 6 pitch first inning good?

[HOOKEM4 5037]

Let's do that every inning Tanner.

[ClubWhatever 12144]

Best he’s looked since coming back

[zlavydra 2123]

I'm extrapolating. 54-pitch CG for Tanner.

At that rate a complete game is in reach

[ClubWhatever 12144]

This fella is a soft tosser but.   He’s a lefty.  

[TexArcher 37975]

This kid's a player.  Got a tough strike call, took a ball on 2-2, then roped a single.

[Bevo&Pevo 5205]

JT works the full count and gets a single.  Oh yeah...

[Horn80 6129]

Pitcher’s asshole just tighten up.

So were those SJSU guys.

[ClubWhatever 12144]

Ok so left field is a graveyard

[TexArcher 37975]

Man, the jet stream is the complete opposite of yesterday.  That ball was crushed.

[Bevo&Pevo 5205]

Crooked number on the scoreboard with one out.  This is starting nicely.

[GreenspointTexas 9645]

What.an.AB.  By brown

[GreenspointTexas 9645]

Hampton bout to get yanked

 

edit: lol, yup

[ztejas 43474]

Good effort Hampton. Hit the showers.

[Bevo&Pevo 5205]

Bases are juiced with 1 out.

[TexArcher 37975]

Man, 8+ IP coming up against their bullpen with 2 runs and counting already on the board.

Couldn't have scripted a much better start.

That's three years in a row we've crushed that dork. Good job, Mazey.

[Horn80 6129]

Friday night starter.  Snicker

[NeverMarryAStripper 21907]

WVU strategery seems to be backfiring 

[TexArcher 37975]

FUCK YEAH, TEXAS, WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

[Cousin Strawberry 1261]

This team in on fire.

[Bevo&Pevo 5205]

Flores squeezes the lemon and gets 2 RBIs.

I just realized he hasn't been playing. Did he finally get benched?

[Horny Bull 2760]

4-0 Texas after 1.

[davi34 80]

What was the update on Carlsen being done for the year?
