May 9, 20187 yr Dbu has some wins against big programs this year. Without looking, I’d think they might be in line for a regional? Or a not fun 2 seed somewhere in Texas or Oklahoma?

May 9, 20187 yr 1 hour ago, NorthLoop said: Yeah but Tech is already on thin ice Yep, they really don't have a consistent 3rd starter and have been rotating 3 catchers without much production, not a good combination. Had a good catcher last year, Berglund, who transferred for unknown reasons after his freshman year. Losing their ace pitcher Gingery to tj surgery is finally beginning to show.
May 9, 20187 yr What are the chances if OSU or Tech gets a host seed and we are a #2, that they send us to one of those places? It's unusual to get sent to a conference opponent right out of the gate, no?

May 10, 20187 yr Gonna be hard for Tech to fall out of hosting discussion altogether with their collective resume. Ok State also in tremendous position with their stranglehold on the conference regular season title thus far Looks like Texas will need to win 3 of 4 next week, and probably even some work to do in the conf tournament just to secure it. Texas’s crap losses have really crippled their rpi. It’ll be hard to imagine a scenario where the Big 12 gets 3 hosts, but I guess that’s not impossible. Ok st really screwed the conference with such a bad showing at Iowa If baylor can somehow knock osu down a few pegs, that would be great for Texas. It’ll take a miracle, but as I’m sure many of you have done the math, it’ll require either ok st going 2-4 in their last 6 games with Texas sweeping tcu, or 1-5 with Texas taking 2 of 3 from the frogs. Obviously a long shot, but not impossible. Ok St’s magic number is 3 wins, so they’re clearly in a dream position with 6 games to go Edited May 10, 20187 yr by X-Wing @Aliciousness

Hell, 1-5 or -06 wouldn't shock me. I'm hoping TCU can win a game vs UT and we somehow pull out two wins vs BU and TT. I sure wouldn't give up on the conference championship yet. We looked like total dog shit last week.

I've been saying this. 3 games on the road against Baylor who has won 12 games in a row and is fighting for a postseason birth. Baylor is also really good at home (17-6). Then 3 games at home against a good Tech team who is fighting for a national seed. That is not an easy finish. Texas likely has to sweep TCU which probably won't happen, but a 2-4 finish for Oklahoma State is not out of the question. Edited May 10, 20187 yr by texasstrong12

May 12, 20187 yr Yep. Any of y’all thinking it’s a foregone conclusion we win the conference have never followed the Pokes closely. We invented the shitplosion of unexpected self destruction. Regardless of sport. We also tried to get cute with our Friday pitching...which is how it starts.
May 12, 20187 yr Baylor wins game 1. Need Baylor to win at least 1 more this weekend. A sweep would be nice.

May 12, 20187 yr Author Baylor’s Saturday pitcher is not really helping our cause. Edited May 12, 20187 yr by Horny Bull
May 12, 20187 yr Only offense we’ve had is HRs. Trevor Boone going 3-3, all yard including a bomb that was hit so hard it rolled to my front step here in cedar park.
May 12, 20187 yr Pokes in full on Incaviglia mode today. Boone's 3 bombs have all been 450+. Edited May 12, 20187 yr by UncleCharlie
May 12, 20187 yr Really impressed with Baylor’s plate discipline. Outside of the rape, dead cats and basketball players ya know.
May 12, 20187 yr 11-6 final. Baylor's 13 game winning streak ends but quite a run. Attendance from TV looked well under 1K. Mother's Day weekend I suppose, but not good for Baylor and college baseball.
May 13, 20187 yr Really need a Baylor win tomorrow. They slipped back to 58 in RPI. Need them in in top 50 so our 3 wins will qualify in that tier. Obviously, we also need another OSU loss. Good to see TCU win as well. Need them as highly ranked as possible for our last series.

May 13, 20187 yr Tech is going to score on this Oklahoma State pitching staff. Oklahoma State will need their bats next weekend. Oklahoma State is 184th in ERA and Tech is one of the best hitting teams in the nation. Edited May 13, 20187 yr by texasstrong12
May 13, 20187 yr BU up 4-0 in the 6th Arkie up 4-1 in the 8th BTW, I just subscribed to vue.playstation.com last night to get the ncaa playoffs and some NBA. Pretty good deal with the core package. LHN included if in Texas.(surcharge for it if out of Texas I believe)
May 13, 20187 yr Baylor up top 8th, 7-0 If Baylor holds on, what does Texas need to do? If Baylor chokes, what does Texas need to do? Edited May 13, 20187 yr by GotThatFire

I believe if Tech wins 2/3 against Baylor we would need to sweep TCU. If Tech sweeps Baylor then we would only need to win 2? That's under the assumption Baylor holds on today. I haven't looked at this close enough. Somebody else will have a better idea.

That's under the assumption Baylor holds on today. I haven't looked at this close enough. Somebody else will have a better idea. I just assume you’re correct because we took 2 of 3 from Cowboys and we are ranked higher. We’d be tied in conf standings but cannot see a scenario where we wouldn’t win tiebreaker, esp with Cowboys losing 6 of 9 down stretch (for rankings purposes).
May 13, 20187 yr I won't be surprised at all if Tech wins at least 2 of 3 against Oklahoma State. They are going to rake against this Oklahoma State pitching staff.
