Horns Lose, Get Closer To Conference Crown

Print[Update:] The bats weren't working again but solid enough pitching and a number of Texas A&M mistakes gave the Horns enough scoring to take a 5-4 victory. We think that should just about seal a top eight national seed, and one more OU loss -- losing 5-1 in the 7th -- (either today to OSU or next week to Texas A&M) would seal the conference title for Texas. Regardless, the Horns have come a long way from last season and are now 17-4-1 in the last 22 games.
Aggy starter Ross Hales was absolutely brilliant in a 3-0 victory in Austin. That pretty much sums up the game. Cole Green was alright and Brandon Workman was nearly perfect in long relief, but Texas' offense just couldn't get anything going. There are days like that in baseball, time to move on.
There is good news, though. Texas still holds a 1 game lead over Texas A&M and a victory today would eliminate them from the conference crown. In addition, KSU lost again at home to Tech, so a Texas victory today would nearly seal the deal, pending one Oklahoma loss (OSU today, Aggy next week). This time it's Texas' turn to have a freshman phenom on the mound in Taylor Jungmann. Austin Wood and Dicharry should be available to pitch in the later innings. It's a 2 o'clock start since there are no flights to catch this time and it'll be broadcast by a Fox College Sports, whatever that is.

Here's how Texas wins the conference:
Win today: 1 OU loss in the next 4
Lose today: KSU lose 1 of the next 4, A&M lose 2 of 3 to OU, OU loses to OSU then wins 2 of 3 against Aggy
Anyone know what it is on directv?
The channel that says it will be showing it (615) is blacked out.
Mouth's convincing evidence was
that Anders immediately turned for the dugout, like he knew he had the out. He wouldn’t do that otherwise = aggy honor code and all.
Anders had no fewer than five body parts on the bag
when our runner touched it. Burnt Orange Conspiracy.
Error #2 makes it 5-0
Grounder to third, Maitland hung up between 2nd and 3rd but nobody’s covering 2nd…
good lord
i may have to walk on over there and see this one for myself…

part of why torres is my MVP
getting loy to slide to ss, taking hernandez out, then playing pick ’em at dh
i don't know how you go from defensive abomination
to rather solid if not downright fairly good 3b in one offseason
Texaggy reality:
Red Fishin Ag93 says:
We cannot allow a bad call to take us out of the game mentally, and we did.
We have battled through two BS calls in this series. Let’s not downplay what has clearly ruined the mentality, here.
One can only take so much of a clear disadvantage before mailing it in. We’re not a good enough team to overcame game changing decisions.
Nobody is that good.
where did you pull that nonsense from? god help you if youre spending time over on an Ag forum.
hope you poured a stiff drink first.
It's like a midget wrestling match:
you know you shouldn’t watch, but it’s just too hilarious not to:
And if I have to listen to Dave South doing PBP, I might as well go for total immersion. Now he says the aggy television crew is calling the play at first inconclusive.
Aggies have threatened in each inning but he's been able to work through it
His pitch count is high, doubt he goes more than 5 or 6 innings
agreed.
But we have the luxury of a rested bullpen today since Workman was able to finish yesterdays game off.
Gametracker
shows he hasnt been missing many bats. Only 1 K so far today. But he’s been good all season at battling through innings where he gets himself in trouble and minimizing damage. 5 solid innngs should be sufficient today to get us to Dicharry/Wood to close it out.
sure. 6 would be great
but with a 5-0 lead already, Id be happy with 5 solid scoreless innings out of the freshman.
I see no reason why that isnt a reasonable expectation.
He was nothing short of spectacular once he settled in yesterday.
agreed
especially if dicharry or thomas or even carrillo could get us a couple of outs here and there if necessary when we get to regionals KNOCK ON WOOD
oooooooohhhh
here’s what i’m thinking: brandon belt makes his triumphant return to the mound leading texas to a cws championship. yeah, awesome.
dumb aggie fans
are calling the radio station asking why there is no tv feed. incredible.
and they are still going over emails they are receiving about the call in the 1st.
Two quick Aggy singles
One an infield single that Jungmann got a piece of, one barely passed a diving Loy
And Dicharry in for Jungmann.
things came a little unraveled for Taylor there. It didnt look good from the start. He wasnt missing as many bats as he had been in his previous outings. It was only a matter of time before the balls started finding holes.
What do you think we can expect from Dicharry?
Can he give us 3 innings? Or should we expect 2, with Wood pitching the final 3?
we're getting outhit 12-5
thank god for those aggie errors early on. the offense is apparently still in a funk.
way to battle today boys.
raced out to an early lead, and the bullpen held in there long enough to keep it together.
not the prettiest of victories, but in the end, a win is a win. 2 of 3 from the aggies, in a series where our bats didnt hardly come alive and our pitching wasnt as spectacular as it has been….Ill take it.
I dont see any way we dont end up with a top 8 national seed.
huzzah!
here’s to a good big 12 regular season, no matter how it finishes. we have the pitching and defense that can match with anyone in the postseason. just need to get the offense to be timely.
Excellent
12-men stranded. haha
No matter how many times Dave South says none of our runs were earned…it won’t change the outcome.
Hook ’em!
5-1 Pokes entering the 8th
6 OU outs from a Big 12 title…
Sooners threaten, but get nothing...... and like it
5-1 Pokes, bottom 8
Pokes get a walk, and nothing more; 5-1 going to the 9th
Do your thing, Tyler Blandford.
OSU turns two... ballgame
BIG 12 CHAMPS BABY!!!!
