Baseball Takes on Oklahoma

It's #5 Texas vs. #8 Oklahoma. A Texas win could make the difference between hosting and playing somewhere hostile in the first round. Kenn Kasparek takes the mound for the Horns.

[Note by Horn Brain, 05/24/08 9:12 AM CDT ]  It's 9:12 in TEXAS....

[Note by Horn Brain, 05/24/08 1:09 PM CDT ]  ... And OU still sucks!  Texas wins 11-10 by coming back from a 10-8 deficit in the bottom of the ninth.  David Hernandez is a god today.  See comments for details.

And OU Still Sucks

Torres reaches on an error by the OU second baseman (oh the irony) and scores on a Jordan Danks double. KK ran into trouble in the top half but struck out the last two hitters

2-0 Horns through 1

Brandon Belt singles in Danks.

OU continues to suck - Bot 1st

Danks advanced to third on a ground out by Moldenhauer, then scores on a single by Belt. 2-0 Guys that buy their land through accepted channels.

Where were these bats against Mizzou?

I know, the worst Tigers pitcher is a whole level better than the best of the Sooners’ rotation. But man it’s frustrating to watch this firepower when all we needed was two more runs…

OU with runners at 2nd and 3rd, one out.

Discounting the two Alabama A&M games, Texas starters have averaged 7 2/3 innings since being swept by Okie State. That, ladies and gentlemen, is why this team is winning.

That's about enough absentee abuse.

I come strolling through for some catch-up and here I find somewhat more than my fair share of abuse. Somehow I missed the start of this particular episode and find myself in a free floating piece of continuity.

However, in the end, the Horns triumph in spectacular fashion, everything falls into place for the Big 12 Tourney Championship, so I guess that it is all my fault powerful mystical personal mojo that gets the job done when the neuron impaired run low on inspiration.

You can’t do that with an absentee girlfriend, you know.

Random thoughts

This was a great win for the Horns, obviously. Even if we don’t end up in the Big XII CG, a win like this should get the juices flowing. The team is carrying great momentum into the Regional round.

This win also should be more than enough to lock down a 2 seed, hopefully in one of the weaker Regionals like Ann Arbor or Hattiesburg.

As for the next game, I wouldn’t put it past the Aggies to pull off the upset. I clearly know next to nothing about baseball – are they a lock to host a Regional? If they don’t win this afternoon, does this knock them into some other school’s Regional? At a minimum, I would think it puts them at risk of having a very strong non-hosting team assigned to College Station, effectively killing their chances to advance.

Life is an Occasion. Rise to it.

Thoughts

We’ll try to post some expanded thoughts once we know if Texas is done for the weekend or not. Either way, Texas should have sowed up a 2-seed and should have as good a chance as any 2-seed of hosting. This team has to have great confidence heading into postseason play.

by 40AS on May 24, 2008 2:32 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Hosting

On the radio, the opinion was generally that win = regional host. If we advance from pool play, we’d have to, right? With things going as they have, it seems to be a reasonable bet. St. John’s played themselves out. Has ATM’s eight game skid, coupled with a poor tournament, done the same for them? Rice had a poor CUSA tournament (but they should still host, no?). Baseball America says San Diego wouldn’t host if they’re a regional top seed, but I don’t know how they finished and if this is even an issue.

Let’s hope we can get one in Austin and really get out the crowd.

Mizzou - A&M

Top 5, Mizzou – 0, ATM 1
Hooray for the already eliminated ATM!

I am going to take over this live thread

Ryan Lollis grounds out to first to end the Tigers’ half of the 5th.

Colligan singles to right to score Raley. 2-0 ATM

You get up for a minute.

This is going swimmingly. Teams don’t blow five run lea… gasps in fear

Loux makes quick work

of Mizzou in the 6th. Still no runs for the Fightin’ Tigers from Boone County, MO. Chase Daniel isn’t walking through that door!

End 6

Kevin Gonzalez goes out 5-3 to end the sixth.

We stand:
Mizzou 0|4|2
ATM 5|4|0

Loux out

Thebeau in. Certainly just a poor man’s Tebow.

ATM turns two

Kyle Mach grounds into the DP. Tory Lane approves. The Dugout Canoes: No runs thru 7, but they’ll have the top of the order in the 8th.

3 up, 3 down

for ATM. We head to the eighth still 0|4|2;5|4|0.

Nobody is reading this, so… poop poop poop weiner poop.

CSTV Gametracker is mesmerizing.

It’s like watching Weebles play baseball. It’s incredible. They wobble, but never fall down!/i>

No. Apparently not.

Aloha!

As I drove to Houston my radio broadcast went out right after OU took the lead in the 9th. I spent the next 45 minutes shitting myself.

Mizzou puts one up

Folgia leads off with a HR. I knew this Thebeau guy was no good. He can’t even afford a silent x. Loser.

Ryan LOLlis

a.) makes me laugh out loud
b.) K’s

Then Senne flies out, and Priday grounds out to the 2nd baseman whose name always makes me think of hard, smelly, deelish cheese.

TO THE BOTTOM OF THE 8TH!

Big XII POY

Jose “Roberto” Duran grounds out to 2nd, like power conference POYs do.
/yes they do

Cheeseman

follows up with a single. This is just padding at this point, but a five run lead is a comfortable lead.

Ags putting this one away

They finally break their losing streak … only to send Texas to the CG. Sigh .. gotta love it.

Surprising trivia

Christmas is now May, 24th.

2 out, ROTC

K-Gon (I trademark this nickname) grounds out.

Now pitching for ATM

Travis Starling. Fava beans, Clarice.

Missouri and ATM

Bad, bad, bad tournaments for these two. ATM is in mega backslide mode, and Tim Jamieson just watched his team choke away an easy title game appearance.

Who are we likely to meet in CG?

can’t get the Big 12 site to load, and can’t remember how the other pool was playing out

Update

OSU has won, advances if Baylor defeats KSU

Tigers down to last out

How improbable was this pool.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand that's a WINNAR!!!!!!!!111!!!1!!1LKJASDLGKJA;;

Wow. We’ll see you next for the (Phillips 66) Big XII Championship Game!

Nebraska-Okie State to follow

How we fared against them:
Swept at home by Okie St in a series where we lost every way possible, despite Chance Ruffin’s 10 inning performance on Friday’s game (if I remember the day right).

Salvaged the Sunday game to avoid a sweep in Austin vs. Nebraska. Nebraska looked pretty solid that weekend, aside from Sunday’s game.

It’s going to be a tough matchup either way. Most importantly, who is going to pitch for us? Can Chance go on 3 days’ rest? Would that even be worth it?

Only the Shadow knows the mind of Augie Garrido.
