Baseball Takes on Oklahoma

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

Brandon Belt singles in Danks.

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.

Probably karma from all that land they stole in the 1800’s.

Top 3, 2-0 Texas

Danks singles, caught stealing in pitchout
Russell singles, Moldenhauer doubles him home

Ripped it.

Texas into the OU bullpen early. Let’s score two more.

I appreciate this. I can’t get the Big 12 site to load.

Good guys 4, disgusting trash-folk 0.

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.

NYCHorn, did you try launching GameTracker from texassports.com?

Just walked the batter to load the bases after Sooners score their first run.

Gives up one run in the top of the fourth. Texas 4, vomitous heathen currs 1.

wow.

Rupp was at first, 2-run homer gives Texas a 6-1 lead!

... hmm, I wonder if Travis had anything to do with that?

Excellent…

I go get Quizno’s when it’s 3-0 and I see we’ve put up three more, well done everybody!

Small ball for the WIN!

KK gets back on track. 6-1 good guys.

Much better Kenn

top of the 6th, still 6-1.

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.

Think Augie’s gonna pull him?

Runners at 1st and 2nd, no outs.

Bases loaded, no outs.

Fly out to Danks. If Texas can get out of this up 6-3 or 6-4, it’ll be a good thing

Think Green is a little rattled by coming in with bases loaded?

Russell throws out a runner at the plate to end the inning and keep the deficit at 1 run. Kyle has an absolute cannon for an arm.

Plate him for God’s sake.

Error bug bites Clark. Let’s hope it’s not contagious.

Foul out then fly out to end the threat

Rupp walks, advances to second on a failed pickoff, scores on a Tucker single. 8-7 good guys!

Holy Warriors back out in front of the Demon Red, 8-7.

I hear dinner bells. His ERA is like 6.

Runners on the corners no one out.

muffed throw by short (?) allows an easy out to reach base.

can you teleport your girlfriend to OKC?

Belt out, Thomas in. Wouldn’t it have made more sense to leave Workman in for the last inning? Or is Augie getting his guys ready for NCAA-type pressure?

Thomas beans the go-ahead run home. Bases loaded, two out.

This is all whills’ fault. All of it.

Now Shinaberry’s in. Augie is saying we have to win this game in the ninth, because Shinny can’t pitch more than 3 outs.

After about 10 foul balls. Geez.

Ok, if Danks can get on, Russell can tie it.

... have a 2-0 record and 9 saves with a 6.5 ERA?

don’t get thrown out.

Winning run at the plate. Come on, guys!

WHY CAN’T AN AUGIE GARRIDO TEAM BUNT?

Belt singles, drives in Danks. Russell moves to third with one out. Sac fly for the tie, baby!

Honestly, what have we learned from the Aggies?

I am in Wootsville!

Wow. Still alive for tomorrow.

Do I really have to root for aggy now?

Okay, but just this once.

... but who the hell can we pitch in the CG?

Shinaberry get’s one K and gets the win.

Has there ever been a BASEBALL thread with over 100 comments before???

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.

This game is moot. I would rather lose than see t.u. in the championship game.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

and following gametracker. I have spent the day with gametracker …

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

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.

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

Yardwork. 6-1 ATM.

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

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

Travis Starling. Fava beans, Clarice.

Even when they do

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.

2 outs remaining.

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

How improbable was this pool.

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

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.
