Oklahoma State @ Texas Series Thread

[zlavydra 2,123]

He's giving us opportunities to hit the ball just as hard.

[Hookem2147 21,365]

When you see a lineup multiple times you better be able to have more in your bag than straight knee high fastball and slider in the dirt.

Doesn't matter if you throw 96.

[hobbes2702 13,078]

LBJ fucking sucks

[Js1 85,602]

Welp

[jimmyjazz 46,228]

2-run blast, 3-0 OSU.  Might be time to think about pulling LBJ.

[The_Great_Hornsby 3,285]

LBJ sucks, total loser

[HuntinHorn 986]

LBJ.....no bueno

[zlavydra 2,123]

3-0 Pokes on two absolutely crushed bombs

[Horn80 6,134]

LBJ fell apart.

He was never Texas quality. Most on here were fooling theirselves for years

[Horny Bull 2,766]

Ok St plates 3 runs T4.

themselves?

[Hookem2147 21,365]

4 innings with 3 runs allowed seems about right for LBJ nowadays.

He pitched well against TCU, Baylor, Washington and Cal Poly.  All of those teams are in the bottom 1/3 in runs scored per game (couldn't find a team OPS comparison).  

I was thinking if they could get him to keep his fastball up in the zone, he might have a chance to overpower guys in shorter stints, like Morehouse did.  Guess that isn't happening though.

[ClubWhatever 12,158]

Morehouse had better control of his slider.  LBJ's slider is simply a fall-behind pitch.

i'm not sure that's true.  their stud pitcher had the game of his life in game 1, but we beat them in the second matchup while the third matchup was a close game we ended up on the wrong side of.

i don't think anyone here went in to that third game thinking we had no shot to win it.

I didn’t think we would win the first or second match up against that guy. I hoped, I was all in during the game but I did not go into either thinking anything other than some amorphous Texas magic would have a chance to win.

Well shit

[Mo Horn 8,855]

LBJ has gone downhill big time. He's a shell of what he used to be as a pitcher

[zlavydra 2,123]

4-0 as LBJ can't get out of the 5th.  Every team with a hitting pulse has punished him. Except I guess USD in the very first game of the year.

[Horny Bull 2,766]

Harrison on to pitch.

Same guy he was last year, offenses quit swinging at his dirt balls and he didn’t get better

[Revolution512 1,495]

I see we’ve entered the “don’t care about this one anymore” phase of the Pierce plan.

[Bevo&Pevo 5,222]

This is like 1000 papercuts.  Watching anemic bats for the first 4 innings, pitching drops off the cliff in the 4th and 5th, it's like a slow-motion train wreck today.

When Dre isn’t available and you can’t use Boehm yet, any option looks like a “don’t care about this one anymore’’ option

[Horny Bull 2,766]

Tumis on to pitch.

[chase25 2,048]

This is a good opportunity to see how long Tunis can go against a quality team.

[Horny Bull 2,766]

Ok St has loaded the bases.

[ClubWhatever 12,158]

Wouldn't be a Tumis appearance without a walk or HBP

[Horny Bull 2,766]

Ok St adds another run T5.

[Bevo&Pevo 5,222]

We need something good to happen right here.

Need at least 2 this inning

Bats wake up plz

[chase25 2,048]

Bad call

[zlavydra 2,123]

Easy to say after the fact, but that wouldn't have been a bad spot to PH for Kennedy.

Terrible AB for JT. Ouch.

Should we try the TEXAS magic again?  Oh, why not?

TEXAS!

[Horny Bull 2,766]

4-0 Ok St after 5.

[Biff Tannen 45,750]

Feels like that may have been our best chance to get back in this. 

[ClubWhatever 12,158]

Very unclutch.   That was chance to put the guy on the ropes.

[Navin R. Johnson 731]

You guys act like we’re facing Okie State’s center fielder or something 

[The_Great_Hornsby 3,285]

We need to get some run support on the board. 

[Hookem2147 21,365]

So Kennedy gets rung up on that and then Tumis gets the Coke can sized strike zone.

[Dahobbs 17,695]

Y'all blaming LBJ when we have one fucking hit is pretty entertaining.

True, but he wasn't good, and generally hasn't been good.  Today, however, it's not all his fault.

When you face a guy who's on your guy has to be on, or you lose.

I mean, two things can be true. LBJ only went 4.1, allowed four runs, and had seven hits against 3 Ks. That’s not a great outing. 

Also, the offense has also been absent today.

[Horny Bull 2,766]

Lummus on to pitch.

He is good for two innings a game. After that, they figure him out and start destroying him. Yeah, we arent getting hits, but we also cant rely on him for anything outside of few innings and 4 runs. 

[Horny Bull 2,766]

Lummus comes in and strands the runner at second T6.

[zlavydra 2,123]

Can Powell come back from the "my bad" tap?
