Big XII Baseball Tournament

[FWHORN]

Has it ever been proven that your seed makes a difference in the CWS or super? No matter what, just win, baby!

Being a national seed and getting to play at home all the way to Omaha is huge. Being a top four seed makes your regional and super regional matchups a little easier and while you still have to win there is a big difference in the quality of the two seed you could get stuck with at your regional and the super regional matchup you could get slotted into so yes that national seed line does matter.

So, and I’m hesitant to say this, I’m wondering if maybe we didn’t have Ty throw a few more pitches than maybe he should have during the regular season. His last few starts he hasn’t been quite as sharp as he was previously, and I’m wondering if some of it has to do with fatigue...

No matter what, just win, baby!

Winning would solve all the other questions - and leave little to whim.

 

[FWHORN]

Horns take early 1-0 lead in bottom of second but Zubia strikes out with bases loaded so the chance for big inning goes astray.

[p_town_horn]

3-1 end of the 4th. Daly struck out looking with a man on first

Stevens continues to pitch well. Horns lead 3-1 headed to bottom of the sixth.

Amen. Disgusting!

 

[FWHORN]

Stevens gave the Horns seven strong innings. Nixon comes on to pitch the 8th and after giving up two out single gets huge strikeout of the OU cleanup hitter to keep the lead at 3-1 as head to bottom of the eighth.

 

[HoffHorn]

Another 2 go down looking!!!!

Let’s get a base hit right here!

Close it out!!!!!

 

[FWHORN]

Horns load bases and get big insurance run with wild pitch but Zubia who was otherwise having a good day strikes out looking with runners on second and third. 4-1 headed to ninth.

 

[FWHORN]

Nixon pitches around a one out walk to close out the game with a strikeout and Horns win 4-1.

Horns will play loser of OSU-WVU tomorrow in another elimination game.

This is the first time I have watched Texas this year. Have they had “lookers” for hitters all year? No way these bats take them very far. Ugly.

Ending ou's season in OKC doesn't suck.

Thursday game review:

No. 2 Baseball eliminates Oklahoma from Big 12 Championship - University of Texas Athletics

 

[SabreHorn]

Are Tech & TCU in rain delay until tomorrow?

 

[mchammer]

Nixon pitches around a one out walk to close out the game with a strikeout and Horns win 4-1.

Horns will play loser of OSU-WVU tomorrow in another elimination game.

Just got notice they are playing tonight???

 

[FWHORN]

I am seeing that the winners bracket games have been moved to tomorrow so there will be four games tomorrow with the losers of the two winners bracket games having to turn right around and play elimination games. And by turn around immediately, I mean immediately as OSU WVU is a 4 pm start and then loser immediately plays Texas at 7:30. Similarly Tech-TCU is at 9 a.m. and loser plays K State at 12:30. Huge advantage to the two teams that won today Texas and K State.

Nixon has been the ice man this year—especially the last half of the season. I wouldn’t want anyone else in the college baseball world as my closer at this point.

We’ve pulled some good players out of the RGV in recent years.

 

[SabreHorn]

Looking on the WVU website, it says their game was rained out. They will play tomorrow at 4 with the loser immediately playing us around 8 tomorrow night. Once again, the game will be televised on ESPN+ so no one can watch it.

A couple of good years, and barring a covid relapse, I'm about to the point of offering Disney 5 million gallons of whitewash to buy our way out of LHN and ESPN+. That can only be done, however, by getting a knowledgeable, business savvy, commissioner.

God, I ******* hate "fans" who show up late in the season with entitled expectations - it represents everything that's wrong with our major sports programs. This team just won the Big 12 regular season championship and the post-season is just beginning, give me a ******* break.

No. 1 seed Texas stays alive with 4-1 win over No. 5 seed Oklahoma

Wow! Have we gone woke? I will always be a fan and I know this team is showing signs of greatness. Been loving Longhorn baseball since my days of pickup games at the “old” Clark Field”. I don’t have LHN and I have not been watching this year. So I made an observation and ask a simple question about ONE aspect from ONE game and get this reaction. This board is family and family can have honest conversation without demonizing the other member of the family. Anyone sensitive to my comment should stay off of the football board. It gets pretty brutal over there.

I love the direction Del Conte is taking our programs with his hires, to include Mr. Pierce. And nothing is more important than getting baseball back to where it belongs. Glad you are a supporter of Texas baseball brother. I do look forward to seeing more aggressive offensive output that involves more swinging of the bat on third strike. But I will leave those decisions to the paid experts like coach Pierce, since he may be the one giving a “take sign”. Who knows?
Hook ’em!

If you have the Disney+/Hulu/ESPN+ package you can watch it on Hulu. They started showing ESPN+ games on Hulu.

Military,

Thank you. I don't have any of that crap, and am not likely to get it in this half of the Christian era. It is inconceivable to me that a major conference with multiple teams ranked is on "pay per view". That could only happen when that conference is run by an incompetent cretin without a clue what he is doing.
