I used to play a lot of dirt field, backyard baseball in high school then put it away...was never an athlete but was good at the plate until we entered a tournament and the pressure got to me.

Then in 2016 I watched the Pokes for hours in the tourney while assembling furniture for my not-yet-born daughter, during our Omaha run...and I was hooked again on the intricacies of a game that appears so simple on the surface. Now I find myself taking a day to watch my bosses son play for the Georgetown Eagles as they try defend their #1 ranking during the HS tournament and watching as much college ball on tv as possible with a 2yo and 5yo that take up all my time.

Love this game. And it’s a better one when a storied program like Texas is a key player...sorry to see y’all struggling so much.

Wish I knew Holliday’s secret because the team seems to peek at crunch time.

    I jumped, I didn’t draw

  • Man I like this Poke team. TCU pitcher looked unstoppable, nine straight Ks, then we get him for 4 runs in the 6th. In any of the last several years we never could stop negative momentum.

What are they looking at?

Baseball is all he has known since he was in diapers.    

He follows his mentors' (his Dad, Gary Ward, Augie) methods to use the regular season to prepare for the postseason.    I include Augie because Josh and he were close.

It seems BU-OSU has been cancelled, so Tech wins the league with a win and Baylor wins the league if Tech loses. OSU can't do better than 3rd.

there's only one thing left to do Raiders...

 

So potential co champs to third place. Thanks god.

This is the sort of thing that happen in a league with Baptists. 

eta: I don't get the cancellation at all. I've been watching the radar all day and the storms passed thru Stillwater hours ago and don't look to be any threat to return. wtf.

I read the field was soaked. Seems like it would have been covered. I have no idea how they make those decisions.

That was hours ago though. Fuck man. They redid Baylor ballpark 4-5 years ago and holy shit you could dump a Biblical flood on that place now and it would drain. They did it right. Ripped up everthang and put in a foot or two of drainage under the entire thing.

Well...I don't know shit about the drainage at Allie P, but the new park opens next season. I would assume it is designed better than the decades old one.

Doesn't matter now. Get ready to host the regional.

Apparently like five lakes in the outfield at Allie P...sad way to end a regular season for the old girl but it seems we are a lock to host so that should be a proper sendoff. The softball field appears to be open for business, I get it’s a smaller footprint but you’d think we would have more than one pump for baseball...then again Baylor loves to run and hide

Ha! Aren't they IN Stillwater? For baseball?

My guess is it’s drainage system was more modern since it’s 20 years younger and updated regularly. Allie P has been up for replacement for at least 5 years and I can see them putting off maintenance and upgrades to drainage because they would be kinda wasted with the replacement.

Negged Homercles...

 

That Rule, Texas shit is uncalled for.

Not nice posting things that Dexter Manley can't read. 

Gonna start negging for reals... gotdammit.

They can play now. They could play later. They could have played an hour ago. Makes no sense. Don’t you want to win it on the field on the last day? Compete? Wtf? 

Oh well, Tech in driver seat anyway. 

Tech 7

TCU 2

I'm guessing that he was highlighting that series as being the turning point of the season.

Tech very well may have played their way into a national seed.

If we try to post only things that Dexter Manley CAN READ , can we post anything at all ?

If okie lite wouldn't have got swept they probably would have won the title.

Well...yeah.
Well...yeah.


We had plenty of chances, losing to KU hurt as well but we ran into a buzzsaw in Lubbock and they are deserving of the title. Of course every team but Tech is full of ‘if onlys’ at this point in the season when it comes to conference hardware.

Congrats to them, looking forward to the tourney.

WVU puts Kansas in the losers bracket 12-8 and it’s last call for KSU as they’re down 4-7 to Tech T9

Well KSU loads the bases with 1 out T9, pitching change for tortilla. Could get interesting.

Way to make it dramatic Tech.  It took 3 pitchers in the 9th to get it done. 

3 stranded by kstate after a put out at home, and a strikeout

 

 

Tech hangs on.

Coach Hughes has made KSt very competitive.

When did Jung move to SS ?    Lost confidence in Baker ?

Meant to say force out, my bad.

Naturally Pokes going last means we won’t get started until like 830-900...can we just call it for Baylor now and remind ourselves that OU sucks?

Man I like this Poke team. TCU pitcher looked unstoppable, nine straight Ks, then we get him for 4 runs in the 6th. In any of the last several years we never could stop negative momentum.

Pokes get a solid 6 from Scott, 2 from Gragg and the closeout from Leeper.

Beating Lodolo was a huge step in getting a national seed.

So Pokes, Tech, Baylor and WVU all stay on the winners side. Absolutely zero surprises.

But yeah I love this team. Great defense tonight, we got the W without leaning on Jensen and had just enough offense in an inning to bang it out. Glad we aren’t turning around to play at 1230 tomorrow like TCU will.

We have a real shot at a national seed if we win the Big 12 tourney.  LET'S DO THIS.

P.S. Fuck the rapists. #FatwaForever
