Big XII Championship Game Open Thread

a little disappointing that we didn’t get more with 2 on and no outs, but we’re on the board first.

no one else posting?

Boening seems a bit shaky…but look at Russell’s arm!!! that boy has a freaking rocket!!

hes keep jamming our left handed hitters

I think the Horns can hit the K-state pitcher.

We’re both kind of busy all day, so all updates are both welcome and needed. Hook ‘em!

good lord

Identical double-play RBIs.

but seems like he has a control issue tho…his pitches are leaning towards middle

they’re really carrying today.

We’ve been on the old thread. We’re moving over here.

Good guys are winning. yeah.

Other thread was rollin’! We’re going to hit 100 comments again today over here anyway, if everyone gets the memo.

Plates Russell, moves Belt to 3rd! 5-1 Texas!

Someone needs to ring a bell when a new thread starts! :-)

Runners at the corners with one out is the latest on the Weebles. Did Moldenhaur drive Russell in?

probbly brought in to face UT’s left-handed middle of the order

Good inning by the ‘Horns, nonetheless.

hope it lasts

Would love to see him start to put it together before the NCAAs.

Just tuning in. How’d we score?

Runners on 1st and 2nd, one out, Danks at the plate. 0-2 count.

Augie should never be doubted. Ever.

Belt looks like A-Rod a little when he squints. Weird.

Your joking run rule claim from earlier is looking less joke-ish. Too bad it doesn’t apply.

left fielder looks REALLY REALLY slow and plus the wind is blowing

Texas 9-1.

Inning ends when we hit the pitcher in the penis.

This is a bit self-serving, but the updates on this thread are really helpful to both of us 40AS guys as we are pretty busy getting ready for a summer camp program and this is way better than the slow CSTV updates…

Keep it up!

so we could talk to the Big 12 commish. Also, we scored more runs.
Hook ‘em.

continuuing to play third well. And we’re out of the 4th still up 9-1.

Team looks good out there. I’m expecting good things in the cws.

and 91 comments…er…92.

BGO’s number to be retired. Cool.

No more easy base runners.

I know, second-guessing Augie never works, but why only four innings for Boening?

Sharted a little, there. Monster double scores three.

wow. 6’5” + about 5’ of vertical leap.

He has daddy’s hoops DNA.

Knocked it back in the park, couldn’t hang on. 9-5 Texas. We got ‘dat Wood!

FSN advert says Indy 500 is the “greatest spectacle in motorsports”. IMHO, I watched that this morning live from Monaco. ;-)

Doesn’t even look like he’s trying sometimes.

Dude got a three-run double.
Next dude hit a home run that Danks slapped back into the park and turned into a triple.
Next dude hit a blooper that Hernandez just didn’t hustle to get, let it go through his glove, scoring home-run dude.
Bleh. 9-6 Texas.

... so we may just have to outscore these guys unless Wood can give us four quality innings.

Without chaos.

Everyone’s seat belt fastened?

My fellow Boerne Greyhound comes through again!

Scores 2 on a double instead. Hit it to the left-center corner, deepest part of the park. If he’d hit it dead center we’d have a dinger.

Moldy scores from second because the KSU left fielder is… uh… not awesome?

I take it we are up 11-6 now?

Can’t let them stay within one swing of the bat.

Our talent feeds this league. Should have joined the SEC or something, where there’s already an established talent base (Florida). What do we think?

That was close to a home run, but Texas gets out of the 6th 1-2-3.

Weebles still have the first Cat at the plate

We’re in the stretch. 3 up 3 down for horns.

Weird parallel universe.

5-1 PO.

Damnit, last one was 5-3.

Wonder how long Augie wanted Chance to pitch?

K ends the 7th.

Moldy denied a homer again, bounces off the top of the wall for a double.

aggy inferiority complex

Does having an airport that can land a 737 have anything to do with it?

... but whoya got for your Tourney MVP? Danks or Moldy?

... I say Danks.

2 out single for Cameron Rupp scores Moldy. 13-6 good guys!

We score every time we get through the left side.

Scores runner from second.

Pour it on, Texas.

More fresh meat!

15-6 top of 8th to the Phillies at Minute Maid.

ugh.

Went the wrong way, that time, buddy.

He’s the nearly home-run dude! Funny, he looked really fast running that triple.

is that the Rangers won a pitching duel in extra innings. A pitching duel! Rangers!

As it should be. 1 out.

Next dude flies out to Kyle Russell in right.

41 runs on 50 hits in 3 games. Let’s hope we can keep this going for a few more weeks.

We haven’t had this much offense against a “real” opponent since plating 22 runs on 22 hits against Tech back in March…..

Come on let’s bury ‘em!

Hit it to left, boys!

Just hit the ball to left, buddy.

Damn. Strikes out looking.

Result? Out. Come on Augie, no more playing nice.

Moldy nearly beats the throw to first, but that’ll do it for the top of the ninth.

If we can hold them to 8 runs we’ll win.

Usually takes him an inning to warm up, though. Hopefully he dominates.

Easily sets a new BON record for a baseball thread, despite the use of two threads at the start of the game.

Any chance we can get 200 comments on a volleyball thread this Fall PB?

:-)

All warmed up, now.

Good play by Clark to get the lead runner on a hot grounder that he bobbled, but looks shaken up on the play.

Ruffin has this guy at 2-1.

Full count.

Weird bounce off the wall made Moldy look like Wiley. Runners on the corners, 1 out.

Catch on the run, one runner scores, but now we’ve got two out with a runner at second!

On your feet, Horns!

Texas wins the Tourney!

Thanks for the pbp. NYCHorn no doubt thanks you, too. Byron Wiley… not so much.

That’s a thorough beating. Augie chatting with the announcers now. They say things like “You have to be happy with where you are right now” to a guy who just won the XII tournament. Augie starts talking about overcoming fear anyway. Let’s go win some playoff games!

Long road to get to this point. What an ending…

Thanks!

Weird how close this game came to be no. 8 OU vs. no. 7 KSU.

Now I can go to bed. You BON’ers go celebrate in style, and enjoy your Memorial Day holiday off.

how many runs we scored with 2 outs (and 2 strikes). That is something to brag about. Now I’m off to bag the most humiliating Texags thread for PB.

Now that you guys are an automatic bid, it means that K-State won’t go as an automatic, and it gives us a better chance to make it in as an at-large.

Looks like the Big XII hosting sites are A&M, Nebraska and OSU. Rice got a host, too. Maybe we can stay in Texas.
