April 5, 20187 yr Damnit...Pokes lose 7-5 with a 2 run HR over the left field fence in the last few innings. We gave that one away via bad pitches and walks...hate that but the boys still battled back each time. Glad to see the bats waking up with timely hitting, but we went to Omaha in 2015 via good defense and sharp pitching. With so many throwers hurt, just hoping we can get a 2-3 seed in the tourney.

April 5, 20187 yr Tech walked off NMSU in wonderful Midland Tuesday night. I was in town, so I went. Or at least I went to the first seven innings. I think the wind chill was 14 degrees so I lasted as long as I could. I missed the solo shot that gave them the 2-1 win. Very nice Tech crowd in the PetroPlex

Hopefully Tech will be playing an annual game at the new Amarillo Double-A ballpark too.
April 6, 20187 yr OSU @ KSU pushed back a day because of weather forecasts. Games will be played Sat-Sun-Mon.

April 7, 20187 yr TCU is 87th in RPI coming into tonight and down 3 runs to OU in the opener. They are running out of chances for "quality" wins. Crazy to think TCU might not make a regional. Edited April 7, 20187 yr by texasstrong12

April 8, 20187 yr Tech went in dry on KU for the second time in two days. 15-6 and 10-0. But they're still just 5 and 3 in conference. They went 3-3 against Baylorape and WVU, failing to score a run in Game 1 of each series. Sooner took all six against the same two teams and has a very early but very strong grip on the race. OU may actually win the Big 12 after pretty much being very below average non conference
April 8, 20187 yr Author Saturday (4/7): Texas Tech 10 Kansas 0 Oklahoma State 6 Kansas State 3 Texas 2 Baylor 0 Oklahoma @ TCU was postponed and they will play a DH today
April 8, 20187 yr In the Pokes game there were three straight innings that ended with KSU leaving the bases loaded. Think they left like 19 stranded runners and were only a good knock away from making it interesting. Weird game. Of course it ended B9 with loaded bases. Injured pitching is such a bitch.
April 8, 20187 yr TCU is likely done unless they win the Big 12 tournament. 97th in RPI and zero group 1 wins.
April 8, 20187 yr Pokes win 6-1, blowing open a close one on a 3 run bomb T9. However I loved seeing Pokes hit a groundout with bases loaded, KState got the out at home but the throw to first was late, and our runner from 2B never even slowed down making it all the way to score. Caught them napping. Game 3 at 1pm tomorrow, we’ve been lucky to win the past two...they continued to strand runners. Think there’s been only 2 runner-less innings in 18 of gameplay so far.
April 9, 20187 yr Unless some remarkable turnaround happens, or a conf tournament victory, I think Texas's sweep probably ended Baylor's postseason hopes officially today. Having already played Texas, ou and tech, they're basically out of big rpi boosters. Tcu is in immense trouble, which has been enjoyable to watch. Hopefully they don't figure it out when they travel to the disch in May. Tech so far still has the right to be considered the class of the Big 12, imo, but their struggles to sweep teams has been eye-opening to say the least. They've lost 4 of their 7 games by giving up 10 or more runs to the other team, highlighting some of their pitching troubles. Gingery being out for the season has hurt them Texas's upcoming series @ou and @tech will tell us a lot about Texas's realistic chances of hosting this postseason (assuming they hold serve and make it to the postseason at-large, which they should do) Edited April 9, 20187 yr by X-Wing @Aliciousness

April 9, 20187 yr 24th in Baseball America with two ranked teams on the schedule this week. Big week for the Horns. 3-7 against ranked teams thus far
April 9, 20187 yr Tech, OU, and UT seem to be headed for a regional KU can hit, and finally showed it on Sunday. And their started pitched really well. Fortunately for Tech, OU finally lost a game and that kept them within three. UT is looking really solid. Could very easily win the conference. They seem to be improving as the season goes, and that's what good teams do. I would say the same for the Sooners, except there in no rationalizing that OU does not suck.

April 9, 20187 yr god fucking damnit, kstate hasn't won a game in conference outside of taking two of us. shit like that is so frustrating.

April 9, 20187 yr Pokes complete the sweep of KSU with 10 runs in the last 2 1/3 innings. Wild the separation between the top and bottom halves of the league.
April 9, 20187 yr Now that we've gotten healthy we're starting to play like I expected us to. Just wish we had a few more decent non-conference wins. Gonna be important for us to win our remaining mid-week games... losing that Wichita State game last week kind of stung.

April 10, 20187 yr Now that we've gotten healthy we're starting to play like I expected us to. Just wish we had a few more decent non-conference wins. Gonna be important for us to win our remaining mid-week games... losing that Wichita State game last week kind of stung.Our pitching is still broken, especially as I doubt we see Elliott all year. Our Omaha run two years ago came down to the proven formula of a good rotation and defense, as Texas has proven a zillion times. However it’s been nice to watch some offense on the ESPN app, seeing things like Boone launch a grand slam to retake the lead today or Littel play out of his mind for a week going 8/11 with doubles / triples all over the place a week ago. Feel like the entire team is playing a lot smarter at the plate...felt like the biggest difference between us and KSU this series came down to timely knocks with men on, little else as they stranded tons of runners. Not that we can always talk but the Poke fans in Manhattan were louder than the other 15 KSU fans there...before he sailed that ball over the right wall to turn the game around today, heard a loud ‘Booooonnneee’ from the stands while the locals were silent. Or maybe it was Boo-urns. Either way it’s been nice to shake the noncon stink off with a decent start to conference play, wherever it takes us.

April 11, 20187 yr And...dumbass pitching decisions in a short week cause Pokes to give up a 4-run lead to WSU by letting the AA hit against our tired closer. Another missed opportunity, so many 2-strike hits given up.

April 11, 20187 yr For the conference tourney do they sale single game tickets or is it session stuff like basketball?

Big12Sports.com should have on sale in the near future. Normally, not a problem to just buy on gameday at the park and pretty much sit where desired. Exception is OU/OK St game and semifinal/championship games. Singles stlll available but less likely a desired location. Edited April 11, 20187 yr by torre
