Maybe don’t call what you can’t see, home blue. 

[jw4381 3094]

Sarloos seems kinda cool. 

[tx ind 7013]

Saarloos is a cool dude.

Ha, gotta end the interview. 

And back after a chat with blue, seamlessly discussing the conversation with the umps.  It's like he's a completely disinterested observer.  

That balk call needs to come back.  

Edit.  Saarloos completely fine with the reversed call:  "I think they got that right all the way around," even though it took a run off the board.  Wow.

my dad has been several times, all he does is rave about those trips. he's a ut fan, but says it's worth even if ut isn't in it

Yep, it’s got to be great experience regardless of Texas playing or not.  I’ve went to about 5 OU football games and one Texas NC football game but never to CWS.

[shadow_operative2.0 16021]

And the run scores anyway after all that. 

[tx ind 7013]

Frogs get that run back 3-0

[Horn80 6131]

Oral B in big trouble.

4-0, glass slipper is badly cracked. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16021]

6-0, all over but the handshakes now. 

[Horn80 6131]

Fort Worth boys doing it.

[nnm 36598]

And a bobbled pickoff throw gifting 2B to runner.  2 more score on a single to LF.  Floodgates open.

[tx ind 7013]

6-0 frogs

[nnm 36598]

I've watched all of these CWS games, and the regionals/supers, on the ESPN app, on one of my devices or on the ESPN app on AppleTV.  It's pretty seamless.  Only downside is that they have a rotation of about 4 commercials.  Over and over and over and over again.

Guessing Oklahoma State fan.  They can't ever get past Oral Roberts.  Bob is like OSU's kryptonite.

[nnm 36598]

Bob with a run.  Frogs gave away the opener to Bob in 9th inning.  Stay tuned.

For my bucket list, I want to go to CWS next year if the Horns make it there.  Anyone know the hotel the Texas fans and/or team usually stay at?

Team hotels won’t be assigned until the field is set and by that time it will be impossible to get a room in one of those hotels

[nnm 36598]

Can't imagine that Frogs can beat Gata twice, especially with Gata getting the extra day of rest.  

[tx ind 7013]

you can't push someone off the base, right?

[Dahobbs 17678]

Didn't see the whole play, why wasn't the runner at third going home there? 

Edited June 20, 2023 by Dahobbs

[Hondo 682]

If you can just knock a guy off the base and tag him, then you'd just...push every runner off every base and tag him.  FFS.  How are these announcers not getting that?

[nnm 36598]

Bizarre play.  Runners on 2B and 3B.  Chopper to SS, 2B runner gets caught between bases, gets run down and tagged.  Fielder pushes runner on 3B off the base, and then tags the runner.  Only one of the runners called out.    Let's see what blue decides.  

Edit:  wow.  Ump reverses call after review, calls runner at 3B out.  Double play.  Apparently the call is in the ump's discretion.

Edited June 20, 2023 by nnm

[tx ind 7013]

this is bullshit if they call him out

I think he saw the rundown was in progress and knew he'd be an easy out at home if he tried to run.

If they do, then TCU should just walk up to every runner, shove them off the base and tag them out.  Of course, they can't do that...which is why this should have been a 10 second review.

[tx ind 7013]

wtf

 

[royiv 9342]

Awful call. I can't believe they spent 10 minutes reviewing that and that was the call they made.

[Hondo 682]

That's bad.  Laughably bad.

 

TCU should:

Intentionally walk the next ORU batter.  Walk over to first base, knock the runner off the base, tag them out, and then go absolutely bananas if the umps do anything except call them out.

Repeat twice more in the inning.  

 

Make a mockery out of it.

[nnm 36598]

Frogs load 'em up with 2 outs.  Need a nice double to right the karmic forces from that ridiculous call.  

Edit:  Nope, strikeout, stranding the runners.  B6, 6-1 frogs.

That part is super annoying, but not where my issues lie. I live in Tulsa and its just a weird place with weird people. Some if it is Cloak Room. Neflix has a movie called Come Sunday which is more about Rev. Carlton Pearson but has a lot to do with Oral Roberts, played by Martin Sheen. It's just not a place I'm proud of living here.

I have no idea how deep their bullpen is.  Anyone?

[Horn80 6131]

Pack your bags Oral B.

[nnm 36598]

Bob down to 3 outs.  They did steal the game from the frogs in the 9th in the opener, so . . .

I imagine people were saying the same about them winning at Arkansas twice.  Their bats will really have to carry them though after having to pitch an extra game already.

[Horn80 6131]

Killer Frogs.  Watch out Gators.

[nnm 36598]

Bobs load the bases in B9.  2 outs.  Making it interesting at the least.

[Surly Bevo 25143]

Roach wins.


Foul that shit off dude. Can’t watch that

[nnm 36598]

Strikeout looking to end it.  Go home Bob.

Frogs have won as many CWS games this year as aggy has in the history of their program.

But SECX3, so advantage aggy.

This was true before last year.  They doubled their all-time CWS win total with their 2-win appearance in '22, which is still pretty funny.

Had they won one before last year? I thought last year was their first ever win in Omaha.

If Gata makes it to the CWS finals - that’s 3 times since 2011 (4 since 2005).  It is really, really f’n hard to get there.
