Sooners Go Down

Win the TCU series (or better yet sweep it) and we solidify ourselves in the top echelon of the conference. Everyone, including Tech and OSU, will drop plenty of games. The long haul is what matters. Baylor ain’t bad either, and neither are these thieves from North of the river (but they need bullpen help badly).

Last season we only lost one conference series (to Tech in Austin), swept the Kansas schools and won each of the 5 other conference series 2 games to 1. I'd bet this season will end up looking a lot like last season.

Yep. And we made the national championship game/series with that level of conference performance. Big 12 and SEC are both murderers row for college baseball.
 
The prime time performance of the lower half of our batting order lately makes us a complete offense. Guys like Ivan and Murph keep performing in the front half, but the rapidly rising batting averages of guys like Campbell, Messinger, Daly, and now Austin Todd makes us a scoring threat from any point in the lineup.

Our lineup = The Chain with 9 Strong Links.

I don't want to get too carried away with this theme, but wasn't that what made those great "Big Red Machine" teams in Cincinnati so good?--their lineup was solid hitter, after solid hitter, after solid hitter, after solid hitter, ... up and down their lineup. They, like us, also had a REALLY GOOD catcher.
 
Kudos to our outfielders who covered a lot of ground in that spacious major league outfield, and made some very good grabs. The Disch isn't exactly a small outfield, even with the fences shorter than in the olden days, but Globe Life just seemed bigger out there.
 
I posed this question earlier in this thread, but it got buried - can someone explain Coy Cobb to me? He was our Sunday starter in 2019 and the shortened 2020 season and then he disappeared in 2021. Did he suffer an injury, or just lose his stuff last year? He's looked good so far in 2022.

I dunno. Last year, when our weekend starters were Madden, Stevens, and Hansen, I guess guys can get pushed down the bench. I don't see any injury history...? Cobb has looked pretty good this year thus far. I think we'll see more and more of him as conference play continues. We still haven't nailed down a mid-week starter... Although we need some good set-up men even more than a mid-week starter. Cobb, Sthele, etc.
Cobb has one more year of eligibility after this year.

I almost turned the channel at 7-1 OU.
I want a screen shot of the OU batter that hit that last 3 run homer doing the horns down as he crossed home.
They were so confident this game was theirs.

The karma, or whatever you'd like to call it, didn't take long to boomerang (heh, heh, heh...) right back on him. He's from Waxahachie, Texas and playing for OU... If we didn't want him, couldn't he have gone to Tech, Baylor, UH, TCU, DBU, etc.?
