    Your ass is getting swept

Our bullpen is really struggling. I don’t see it fixing it self soon and certainly not by this weekend. You guys are in a good spot as is TCU.

We have no margin for error. We have three series and TCU has only two. Unless we hit everybody like we hit Baylor it's going to be tough.

Our bullpen is not exactly the national gold standard either.

Yeah it is desperately needed. I hope that Ok State bullpen is struggling as much as advertised.

A more realistic ask would be to take 2 of 3 from both OSU and WVU and sweep Kansas.  That would put us at 16-8 and needing a couple of losses from TCU.

I think 15-9 or 14-10 are more likely.

That’s where I’m at. 7-2 finish with 2 wins vs osu. Obviously doing better is…better. 
 

the question to me that’s more important than does that get us a share of the conference title is does that get us the 7 or 8 seed in the tournament.

Yeah we all know what is likely. They most likely have to do better than what is likely in order to win the league.

So Air Force has scored 66 runs in 4 games since our series. They did lose one when scoring 12.

Interesting.

I know Kansas sucks but this does make me feel a tiny bit better about our loss.

If you didn’t check the box score, you should know those 18 runs came in only 6 innings. It was called after 7.

KU gave up 42 runs in an 11-inning stretch (Sunday v. OU and yesterday v AFA).

That's going to be a fun final three games of the regular season.

I'm not too confident about this weekend on our end, but should be a good series.

OK states Friday guy is as good as anybody.  Odds of a sweep aren’t great but they go up dramatically if we get by him ( as they do in any series, but getti that first win will be tougher than usual)

I hear Texas' Friday guy is fairly decent.

Yeah, Campbell has been on fire, but the rest of the staff has shown in recent weeks to be a huge drop off from him, hence my concern. Friday should be a great game assuming he starts.

I'm here, nice weekend for our guys, nice to be on top again. Our bullpen is still concerning but I get why you guys are more concerned with yours. Is your staff on the hot seat yet or is last year's run good enough to get them more time?

Pierce just signed a 5 year extension @1.2M per year last Summer.    No idea if he will make staff changes and will likely use the CWS as a basis.

Congrats on a great series !     Though certainly reasons to do so,   I did not see any "Horns Down",  looking into the Texas dugout, or any form of taunting by OKSt.   

Classy team with a classy coach.     Trust me,  Josh could have had the Texas job if he wanted it.     Give him a pay raise.

Yeah I’m here too. Rough weekend for you guys. We’ve certainly been there.

And yeah - I couldn’t be more happy with Josh. He’s easily Mike Holder’s best hire. 

Yeah I’m here.  Watched it on LHN and broke the F5 key on my laptop.  Even posted a few times on OrangePower…*shudder*

Sweeping y’all in baseball or winning a wild football road game against y’all is like proving my wife wrong in front of our friends…walking away, pumping my fists and high-fiving my buddies, but know I’m not getting laid that night.  I think most of us Pokes root for UT as fellow OU-hatin-bros when we aren’t H2H
 

My wife is a double horn, I was at the Disch when Alaniz threw a no-no against OU in 05, and on school-pride fridays at my kiddos elementary school we take care to alternate between burnt and bright orange for the their shirts.  
 

We may not have all the titles but we have a pride and history in baseball…my first house in Stillwater was a half-block behind Allie P and the softball field.  The living room floor may have had a hole in it but damnit I could hear the PA from the porch when I was drinking a beer and ashing a joint in the bottlecap.  
 

Point being…I thought y’all’s bats would whip our pen straight starting about the sixth inning, our situational / 2-out hitting would be tested on the road with RISP, and it’d be a King Kong Mother Fuckin brawl just like G1 played out.  Baseball is the streakiest of sports, and I wanted to win (especially after y’all’s bravado early in the series-thread here)…but:

I was surprised to see we only have 6 players from Texas, much lower percentage than football. I’m pretty sure Gundy tells them to avoid horns down but it’s hard with that many players the majority of which are from Texas and probably we’re not recruited by Texas. 

Anyway our next series is against Southeast Missouri State this weekend who it looks like is pretty darn good, top of their conference, top 50 rpi. I’m worried about a letdown like last time we made it to #3 and lost two to TCU. I hate these late OOC series the way I do mid week games against small conference teams. I want a national seed, we need to play big this weekend.

Yeah and we have DBU mid-week next week.

I look at it as a great opportunity to continue get the RPI tuned up before the big Tech series. We're up to #9 right now, so if we win the SEMU series and beat DBU again, we'll be sitting in a pretty sweet spot ahead of the Tech series.

And yeah getting to host/national seed at O'Brate would be outstanding. That place will be incredible in the post season.

DBU has RPI of 5.   Crazy.  Notable wins are OU, Baylor, La Tech, TCU (twice), and Maryland (twice).   Respectable, but #5?

Yeah I believe they have made the Super Regionals a handful of times, including (IIRC) last year?

Twice - 2011 and 2021.
