Baseball Takes on Missouri in Big XII Championship Game

[Update:] Horns win the Big XII, again. Texas used an 11 run 4th inning to pull ahead and held on despite some Austin Wood wildness in the 9th for a 12-7 win.
Missouri and A&M won yesterday so Texas will see Missouri in the championship game today at 1 PM on FSN. This game could be important for which seed Texas gets but is unlikely to affect whether the Horns host either a regional or super. That announcement will be made at 2:30 PM today, with the full seedings to be announced tomorrow at 11:30 AM. Thanks to 16.2 innings of beautiful starting over the last two days the Horns have a fresh bullpen, hopefully they can become the first team since Nebraska in 2005 to win the regular season and postseason Big XII titles.
PROBABLE PITCHING MATCHUPS
Texas: RHP Brandon Workman (3-3, 3.39 ERA)
Missouri: LHP Scooter Hicks (5-2, 3.70 ERA)

Our win yesterday (with ASU's loss) moved us to #2 in the RPI
ahead of ASU and UNC.

So if we win, do we get the national #1 seed?
by SneezyBeltran on May 24, 2009 12:19 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I think we'd have earned it
but if they go with Irvine, then that’s A-OK by me too.

Going to be a tad late for this one
Hopefully it’ll be good luck again

Anyone know where I can find a stream of the game on the net?
I have exhausted most of my normally reliables
by NeTexHorn on May 24, 2009 12:56 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Yea, but I haven’t been able to find a place to watch it on the internet. (I’m at work)
by NeTexHorn on May 24, 2009 1:08 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Can't find it - don't have FSN subscription.
Suckage! Anyone have a non-Yahoo audio stream?
by horndude on May 24, 2009 1:23 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
This is the Mizzou live stream. Couldnt find one that worked outta Austin. Radio=

Finally got it working
with my third browser choice. Thanks.
by horndude on May 24, 2009 1:46 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Strikeout ends the half inning. 1-0 Mizzou
by NeTexHorn on May 24, 2009 1:32 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Strikeout to start the bottom of the 2nd. 1 away

Workman walks lead off man. 1 on no outs
by NeTexHorn on May 24, 2009 1:42 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Grounder to Torres throw hits runner at first. 1 on

Ok, I'm back
For those that were wondering, the building museum in DC is only so-so
by 40AS on May 24, 2009 2:05 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
You able to get the game on FSN in DC?
by NeTexHorn on May 24, 2009 2:11 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I always had problems getting games in Little Rock
think they did that on purpose
by NeTexHorn on May 24, 2009 2:16 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Torres base hit to right moves Belt to third. 2 on no outs
by NeTexHorn on May 24, 2009 2:13 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Belt got lucky
He hesitated and probably should’ve been thrown out
by 40AS on May 24, 2009 2:16 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yea thats what the radio guys said.
They also mentioned that if the throw wasn’t cut off, it probably would have gone to right
by NeTexHorn on May 24, 2009 2:17 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
The RF came up throwing
But he caught the SS in a weird position and he couldn’t get much on the relay. Just a strange play
by 40AS on May 24, 2009 2:18 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Glad to see Rupp at least filling the DH spot
by NeTexHorn on May 24, 2009 2:20 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Good to see Rupp in the lineup
Injury probably not too serious
by 40AS on May 24, 2009 2:20 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
we need good double to right center Keyes
by NeTexHorn on May 24, 2009 2:22 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Kinda surprising
Keyes is #1 on the team in strikeouts (not surprising)
- on the team in walks
by 40AS on May 24, 2009 2:23 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
That is weird
You would think #1 in strikeouts he is not patient at the plate, but #2 in walks contradicts it
by NeTexHorn on May 24, 2009 2:24 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yup
His OBP is almost .400 even though he’s batting below .300
by 40AS on May 24, 2009 2:27 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I guess Augie can live with the lower BA
as long as his OBP stays high. But you would think it would catch with him eventually
by NeTexHorn on May 24, 2009 2:33 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Wow
That ball was hammered, thought it left the park
by 40AS on May 24, 2009 2:27 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Preston smoked a ball to deep left center
Wind killed it and the LF fell just before it landed. Ended up a warning track single because the runners had to hold up

Thanks for the updates, just got in and watchin' the Rangers beat Astros 5-0 on FSN
No Horns game….

I'll be at the Rangers/Yanks game tomorrow.

You're one lucky dude! Do you think we'll have more Texas fans this time?
I went last time and was so annoyed with all the damn yankee “fans”….
by SneezyBeltran on May 24, 2009 2:38 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Man the last time we were there it was the same way.
My cousin is a Yanks fan and Im rangers so we’ve been like the last 4 years in a row. Always more yanks fans
by NeTexHorn on May 24, 2009 2:40 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
It's funny when the rangers are actually doin' well how many fans are attending the games..

This inning kinda defines our offense
HBP, single through the right side, BB, single, sac fly, balk, HBP

East Carolina
Only because CUSA’s been weak. Not sure other than that

So do we get paired with TCU regional?

Come on Torres
2 out Grand Slam, por favor.

Hell yeah!
Is that two on the day?

To left center it is
I think 400 to straight away center

10 runs
1 out that failed to plate a runner

Yup. These guys are a lot better than the ones from the Big 12 site

No complaints today
but I’d love to be hearing Craig’s voice crack instead. ;-)

Damn 40! You're good.
He’ll probably be drafted a little higher than the 25th round that he was drafted in couple years ago…

Just got a single into right field this at bat

Good deal. Can't stand to be witness to another Ranger loss to the Yankees in person.
Also, I believe Colt is throwing out the first pitch. That should be good for the OU fans in attendance.

It's hard to take them seriously
Once they get Strasburg one would think they’d start to draw a little better
by 40AS on May 24, 2009 3:20 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
They were talking about what they might offer him
it is really going to set the bar high
by NeTexHorn on May 24, 2009 3:21 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I think it's just posturing by Boras
We’ll see though. It’s not really in Strasburg’s interest to go back to school for another year. He risks injury and can’t really improve his draft position, plus he’ll be a year older and still not in the majors
by 40AS on May 24, 2009 3:24 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
The way it sounds,
the Nationals would pay him just to get the arm and the fan draw. I think they mentioned like 25million signing bonus. Crazy numbers
by NeTexHorn on May 24, 2009 3:32 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
He's a lot better option than Crowe, but
if he messes up his elbow, that may be it for his pitching days.
by SneezyBeltran on May 24, 2009 3:24 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Wow
Torres backhanded it over the bag and fired a strike to first, great play for the first out
by 40AS on May 24, 2009 3:22 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Then another great play
This time from Loy, 2 away
by 40AS on May 24, 2009 3:23 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
So will Green stay in to finish off the last 6 outs?
Still a Blaine Irby fan
by patienthornsfan on May 24, 2009 3:27 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Ya
That’s why I’d hesitate. I think Chance Ruffin’s CG was the most important performance, rested the bullpen and gave them room to recover. Also Jungmann yesterday
by 40AS on May 24, 2009 3:34 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yea I think Ruffin's game was the most important,
but I would think the MOP voters go to more offense than pitching

Announcer I'm listening to has Belt and Rowe on all tournament team

Wood? Or let Green work his way out?

by patienthornsfan on May 24, 2009 3:49 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Probably Wood
May be Carillo or somebody (McKirahan?) to get the final 3 outs

How are the teams divided up for regionals?
They draw names out the hat?

Ahh ok.
Is it like higher rank team plays lower ranked team

8 national seeds will be matched up with the other 8 teams
Not sure if the other 8 are ranked or are matched via geography

Something like
But that is yesterday’s guess.

only need two grand slams to tie it up.
