Baylor 1 - Tech 8

Baylor scores, but nobody cares. This is evidenced by this tournament taking place in the shithole that is Oklahoma, no offense resident Pokes. Every crowd shot is people looking at their phones wishing they were doing something else. I believe @NeverMarryAStripper mentioned "this looks like two old people fucking", and he was spot on.

BORING + Zero Crowd = I'd rather go to my meetings.

9am opening round game on a Wed morning... exactly where could they play this game where you would have a nice crowd other than on one of the relevant campuses?

Having coffee this morning and watching the game felt weird this morning.  I should be on the back porch grilling and drinking while watching the game.  Is it too early for that?

Watching the SECSECSEC tournament, and they have decent, engaged crowds. Maybe it's a difference in conferences but the crowd and atmosphere of the SEC tournament >> Big XII tournament

 

Hell, the game is a blow out with FL beating Ms St 9-1 and it feels like a close game.

It's never too early. Live your best life.

Yeah but the South is full of degenerate alcoholics and welfare recipients. Unlike Oklahoma. 

Wait...

eggsactly.

 

I'm sure this is most of that fanbases summer vacation/family reunion and that the teams there are highly ranked but shit it seems like a world of difference watching that broadcast vs the BigXII

 

Florida is on fire, 13-1 over MsST

Top 7, Baylor 4 - Tech 9, Baylor still batting with  runner on 3rd, 2 out.

Tech catcher is tipping the change-up. 

They sure don't play defense pitch in the Big 12.

Anyway now 10-4 Tech.

Top 9, Baylor 4 - Tech 11, Tech brings in the closer and he proceeds to hit 3 batters.

So are they behind or ahead of schedule so far? What are we thinking ETA for Texas game will be?

Behind, of course.  Second game was scheduled to start at 12:30.  I'm sure it won't start until shortly after 1.

That's what I figured. So not too bad.

Is that the Big 10-4....little buddy?

Hahahahahaha

As soon as I tune in 3 run shot by K State - cats up 4-0 already in the 1st

TCU is bringing their regular season momentum to the post-season I see. They are going to be a #2 seed if they keep this up.

Hey! Zeke and Zonk are doing the commentary.

It's kind of funny that the only reason they are playing K State is because they blew a huge 9th inning lead to... K State in their last game of the season. 

Yep so that was 8-0 K State in one full defensive inning (I think the walkoff was with only one out).

Edited by Huckleberry

Back come the Froggies. 4-2 KSU with still only one out. Wicks might not have it today.

Would they tank the conference tourney with their worst pitchers just to save their best pitchers if they already know they're in the only tourney that matters?

I seem to remember Texas going 0-2 (or losing the 1st game in single-elimination) in the conference tourney at least a couple times (maybe under both Gus and Augie) and then turning it back on for the big tourney games that mattered in the regionals, especially back when the regionals were 6-team wars of attrition (winner of the 6-team regional went directly to Omaha; no super-regionals).

I don't remember Texas ever intentionally tanking the tournament. Both Augie and Gus made a decent effort to win it, you don't win it as often as they did otherwise. See Texas' deep and dramatic run in the 2002 Big 12 tournament where Texas fought all the way out of the loser's bracket to win the final in extra innings. But sometimes yeah the juice wasn't flowing as much as it was in the Regionals obviously, but never did they run out scrub pitchers in an attempt to lose nor did TCU do that here.

But it would be especially silly for TCU to do that here. They are on the bubble in whether or not they are hosting "the only tournament that matters". Go 0-2 here and they might be on the road as a #2 seed.

I never saw Texas run out scrub pitchers for the SWC or Big12 tourneys.

I wouldn't be surprised if TCU did that or had their good pitchers just throw straight/underperform, however.

Moreland just called it the great state of Oklahoma.  I hate it when announcers say stupid stuff to try to seem unbiased.

5-3 KSU in the bottom of the 2nd.  Two on for TCU. Wicks is struggling

For your information they have the biggest percentage of incarcerated criminals of any state in this Union, and probably the highest such percentage of any comparable population in the world. World class criminality. He didn't specify what Oklahoma was great at.

Yeah rough tournament for the pitchers so far.

I've never seen anyone (on a baseball field) run more slowly than the K State catcher just did after strike 3 got away.

I kind of think it was better when the SWC tournament was hosted by the schools. But I guess the SWC was also geographically more compact so it was an easy trip for anybody who wanted to go to attend. But at least the crowds looked bigger in on campus parks.

That’s not their C, he’s the big boy that hit the walkoff the other day & got hurt in the dogpile. 

That's Ceballos.  Perhaps he's not catching today?

Yeah, I edited to read better. 

 

Maroul just sent this about why you only dogpile once.

To be fair, what KState did after that win wasn't really a dogpile.  Only a couple of guys stumbled and ended up on the ground.

And we are tied. Four run leads just aren't what they used to be.

I have this weird feeling we will not be starting our game on time. I hope the Oklahoma and Oklahoma State fans are ready to stay up late tonight.

Not very Christian, TCU.

Our softball team had first pitch at like 11:15 the other night.  They can handle it.

Oh I know the teams can handle it, I was just thinking about hard working Okies being late to the meth lab the next morning.

A little product sample and they're good.
