[perryj]

Let's hope the streak against OsU in the Big 12 tournament stays alive!

[8timechamps]

I'm thinking the Big XII could have made some good money off of the OU/OSU game had it been scheduled as a later game. Oh well, 9am it is! Wish I was there to see it.

[nighttrain12]

What is their criteria for determing game times? OU/OSU has the potential to be the biggest draw but when it is at 9am during the work week, not many will go to see it.

[ouflak]

Better get your bets in while there is still time! (http://www.soonerfans.com/forums/showthread.php?168276-5-23-5-24-Sooner-Baseball-Big-XII-Championship&goto=newpost)

[S.PadreIsl.Sooner]

Suwweeeeet!!!!!!!

[JoeR]

Awesome game! Overton and Okert pitched every bit as well as Haney for OSU. Great defense!

[ouflak]

Excellent Start!

[NMSooner'80]

I hope OU fans escaped any drunked brawls instigated by Aggies after that ending. And, if they're not drunk now, I'm sure most 0SU fans headed straight for the nearest bar.

[setem]

Listened to the whole thing in the office this morning up here in Kansas. We have a mix of OSU and OU fans and boy golly gosh that was bad ***! Lot of pissed off folks and folks claiming they don't give a **** about baseball!

[C&CDean]

It was one of the most enjoyable mornings I've had recently. Nice and cool in the shade, pitchers duel throughout (my kinda game), and when Carey came up in the bottom of the 9th, the lady sitting in front of me starts video taping him. He hits the bomb, and her and the guy next to me are freaking out. Come to find out they were his parents. She got his first college home run on her phone. They're both dialing all their family and friends going "Garrett just hit a homer to win the game!!"

It was sweeter than hell. Especially listening to the aglets grumbling about "we get 2 guys on and can't score" and "are we ever gonna beat these ****ers in the Big-12 Tournament?" Heh.

[setem]

^^^^this^^^^

That is so awesome!!!

[Sooner95]

Awesome!!

[Sooner95]

We take on Baylor tomorrow at 4pm

[NMSooner'80]

It was sweeter than hell. Especially listening to the aglets grumbling about "we get 2 guys on and can't score" and "are we ever gonna beat these ****ers in the Big-12 Tournament?" Heh.

That's the gift that keeps on giving. And in my middle age, I really hope that the number of OU fans who "feel sorry for OSU" when OU wins has dwindled to almost zero. I never felt any sympathy for them whatsoever in the past when we beat them.

I wish I had known you were at the game Dean I would have looked for you. Boy this being retired and getting to go to baseball games at 9:00 in the morning is pretty sweet.

[NMSooner'80]

BTW, OSU just lost, 11-5, to K-State, to get a quick exit from the Big 12 tourney. The heart just bleeds....

[nighttrain12]

We take on Baylor tomorrow at 4pm

Any idea which dugout OU sits? I wanna buy seats on the Sooners side of the ballpark.

[nighttrain12]

Woo hoo! Both the Aggies and the ShortHorns eliminated today!

I'm heading down there now. I hope I chose the right side to sit on (3rd base side).

[Boomer.....]

[8timechamps]

Sounds like OU is a lock for the regionals...for any of you that follow this closer than I do, is OSU still a possibility, or are they out?

I went to the CWS last year (planned a couple of years in advance), and ended up watching Virginia every game I went to. If you've never been, and are a baseball fan, I would recommend a trip. Fun. And who knows, maybe the Sooners will be there this year.

[C&CDean]

Sweet. 3-2 final for the good guys.

[meandmybutt]

Sooners 3-2 over Baylor. Single in the bottom of the 9th with runners on 2nd and 3rd scored a run.

[JoeR]

This team is going to make some noise!
I will be there Saturday morning at 9:00, probably going to have to beat these guys again.

Word was prior, that they needed to beat the Sooners to keep alive any chance. We'll see.

[Lott's Bandana]

Oh and by the way...

bye bye whorn.

[Sooner95]

Man, I would have liked to have been at this game. Great job!! Was on the road working but I had sirius.

Another nice rally. Now we get to kick back till Sat.

[Boomer.....]

Awesome!!! I was listening and last I heard we were down 2-1. Great win. Apparently we are one of the only teams who can beat Baylor and we've done it 4 times.

OSU is toast - zero chance of making NCAA tourney. As of now, the Longhorns are NO better than a 50/50 shot of making it.

[nighttrain12]

I wasn't able to get there until about the 5th inning this afternoon but definitely worth the trip to see that OU comeback and then win in the bottom of the 9th!

Now was it one of you guys in the upper deck on the 3rd base side going into the bottom of the 9th who started the BOOMER!!! chants? Who ever it was, it worked like a charm!

[nighttrain12]

OSU is toast - zero chance of making NCAA tourney. As of now, the Longhorns are NO better than a 50/50 shot of making it.

Why do you say that? What about the year OSU finished NINTH in the regular season and didn't even make the Big 12 tourney but still made the NCAA post season tourney. There should have been a federal investigation into that as somebody had to be bribed or blackmailed. OSU finished 5th and Texas 3rd in this regular season with winning conference records and winning overall records. I think they will both qualify for the NCAA.

[Boomer.....]

OSU will not make it. Their RPI is horrible.

They also had a great RPI that year and the Big 12 was either the top or no worse than the second conference in the RPI ranking. Their RPI this year is closer to triple digits than to be in range of an at-large bid: thus, OSU has zero chance. Texas is going to be chewing their nails on Monday.

[perryj]

If Texas wasn't Texas there would be almost 0 chance they get in but their name/reputation will give them a shot.

[perryj]

By the way for those of you wondering OU will be on the first base side tomorrow morning and there are still plenty of good seats left behind the dugout.

[S.PadreIsl.Sooner]

If Texas wasn't Texas there would be almost 0 chance they get in but their name/reputation will give them a shot.

Don't you mean Whorn "name/recognition"?

[TumbleweedDoom]

The highest RPI to make it as an at-large last season was 53. The Horns are sitting at 51 right now. But they're also just 8 games above .500. I don't know their record against top 25, top 50 and top 100 RPI teams, but that's going to probably decided their fate. Ironically, the better OU does, the better for them since they have three wins against us.

[8timechamps]

Looking like a Baylor rematch....Bears up 5-0 over KSU (▲ 6th)

[Sooner95]

Baylor finished them off 11-2.

Game 5 of the OU/BU series starts tomorrow @ 9am.

[8timechamps]

Two wins away from a Big XII championship.

[S.PadreIsl.Sooner]

Since the Sooners are the undefeated team, isn't it 1 win for us and 2 wins for BU?

[Sooner95]

That would be correct. Baylor would have to beat us twice tomorrow to advance.

Man, this **** is ours for the taking. KU knocked out aTm, so it's Mizzou/KU on the other side..

[C&CDean]

Anybody got a link to the game this morning?

Go tit.

[Sooner95]

3-0 OU T2

[Phil]

Listening on the plane headed out on vacation. Wifi on planes is cool.

[Lott's Bandana]

BOOM

4-0

[C&CDean]

That was a mother****ing shot now. Pujolsesque. It looked like the ump threw somebody out. ??

[Lott's Bandana]

I saw that too...wondered what happened. I have the game muted, but regardless, the announcers have no video feed so they may not have seen it either. I'm sure Toby probably explained on the radio.


4-1 now B4.

[Sooner95]

Bring em in white!!

6-1 OU T5

[Sooner95]

tack on another.

7-1

[Sooner95]

Baylor is coming apart at the seams. Finish them Danielson!!

[Lott's Bandana]

Go clock go!




heh.

[Soonerus]

Still 7-1 ??

[C&CDean]

7-2, bottom of 8

[Sooner95]

7-2 B9 2 out

[Sooner95]

That's a wrap. 5 and OH against Baylor.

On to the final tomorrow against either KU or Mizzou.

Yea!!!

[C&CDean]

Ballgame. 7-2

[Fraggle145]

So who do we play for all the marbles?

[Lott's Bandana]

Is the Champ game one shot, or if KU or Misery has one loss coming in, OU has to lose twice to be eliminated?

If the latter...go KU!

[Lott's Bandana]

BTW - Girls up 5-0 in elimination game for AZ.
Keilani settin 'em down.

T3

[Boomer.....]

This team is on a roll! Our pitching lineup is sick.

[Boomer.....]

First time to the Big 12 Championship game since 1997.

[Sooner95]

The Championship game is a winner take all 1 game set.

We will face the winner of #6 Missouri/#7 Kansas.

[Sooner95]

4-1 Mizzou B3

[Sooner95]

4-2 MU B4

Mizzou is the winner bracket team. KU has to beat them twice.

[JoeR]

Fun morning at the ballpark! Listening to the radio during the game the best comment was that Oberste "parked" one in the garage. What a shot that was.
Man, you just know all the lower ranked #1 seeds are shaking in their cleats hoping that OU doesn't get sent to their regional.

[BlackwellSooner]

So, does anyone have a link to who will be participating in the WCWS and the CWS (for men)?

The Lady Sooners are in!

Where are the two college World Series being played this year? I thought that I read that OKC was hosting one of them, not sure of which one...

Anyone help on this?

EDIT: Never mind about OKC, I read that they are hosting (have hosted , for awhile, apparently) the WCWS. And it looks like I'm jumping the gun on selection of the men's teams to regionals, as I read that that will happen June 1st...

Oh well...

With our strong finish (whether we beat Mizzou tomorrow or not), our men should continue playing into the postseason, it would appear...

[Sooner95]

There's a bracket here for the Women.

http://www.soonerfans.com/forums/showthread.php?168157-2012-Softball-Tourney.-Go-Lady-Sooners!

The Men's will be on the same site.

[Sooner95]

Missouri took out KU with ease, 12-2.

Big 12 Title game. OU vs Mizzuo @ 1PM.

[Sooner95]

Also, we will be the home team as well. I love our chances. we swept them this year and I suspect if we continue our current play we will have no problems.

The game will also be televised on FSN.

BOOMER!!

[Blue]

Baylor is coming apart at the seams. Finish them Danielson!!

Get em a bodybag! Yeeeeahhh!

Way to go Sooners!

[Soonerjeepman]

Hope we send mu to sec without a title...

[BlackwellSooner]

Is the OU-Mizzou game going to be carried online? My cable provider does not carry FSN, so if it's not going to be carried somewhere online, I guess I'll just have to try to follow along with GameTracker...

Check the links at the beginning of this thread.

[Boomer.....]

Nightmare start. Magnifico pulled after giving up two runs with no outs in the first. Overton comes in and allows 2 more. 4-0 mizzou bottom of the first.

[Boomer.....]

Dodged a bullet in the second when the mizzou runner missed home plate after beating the throw then was tagged out. Still 4-0 bottom of the 2nd.

[Boomer.....]

Oberste with another hr to dead center. 4-1 top of the 3rd.

[S.PadreIsl.Sooner]

Nightmare start. Magnifico pulled after giving up two runs with no outs in the first. Overton comes in and allows 2 more. 4-0 mizzou bottom of the first.

Isn't Magnifico the closer? if so, why start him?

[BlackwellSooner]

is there a link for radio broadcast online?

[Sooner95]

****...

6-2 MU T5

[S.PadreIsl.Sooner]

Stinking bases loaded, 2 out bloop by the defectors! Sucks!

[ouboomer1]

well when Magnifico could not get out of the 1st you knew it would be a long day for OU pitching.....OU is gonna have to keep close and than maybe get a chance at Mizzou's pen....

[Sooner95]

Time to get the bats going!!

7-2 MU B5

[Sooner95]

Indeed. Really makes it tough when your in a hole from the start.

[BlackwellSooner]

7-2 bottom of 5th, Sooners with two on, one out. Mizzou pitcher is removed for a reliever. Come on Sooners!

The only way that I can keep up is with the Twitter feed on Big12Sports. Is there a radio broadcast that is online? Ponca City radio station not carrying the broadcast.

[ouboomer1]

I think the Big 12 official site has a broadcast audio only for the game today....

Nice rally..

7-5 MU T6

[Sooner95]

Yea man! tied up!

[Sooner95]

Can't make those base running mistakes.

[Sooner95]

Max gave it a ride.


On to the 7th tied at 7

[Boomer.....]

That base running error cost us the lead.

[S.PadreIsl.Sooner]

1 on and 2 outs in top of 7.

[S.PadreIsl.Sooner]

1st baseman caught a wicked liner diving to his right. Middle of 7th.

[Lott's Bandana]

That base running error cost us the lead.

Apparently Coach was giving him the stop sign at second, so Max's long flyout would not have led to a run, although there could have been a tag to third and another batter with 2 outs, yes.

[BlackwellSooner]

7th inning stretch - all knotted at 7 going to the bottom of the 7th...

[Boomer.....]

Apparently Coach was giving him the stop sign at second, so Max's long flyout would not have led to a run, although there could have been a tag to third and another batter with 2 outs, yes.

If he would have held up at 2nd then we would of had bases loaded with one out. The fly would have brought in the leading run.

[Boomer.....]

Balls! We got tagged up at home. Top of the 8 th. 7-7

[S.PadreIsl.Sooner]

Announcer said that going from 1st to home was a good gamble. WRONG! Ball was not deep enough! Runners at 2nd and 3rd! Middle of order! Keep it alive.

[BlackwellSooner]

Balls! We got tagged up at home. Top of the 8 th. 7-7

Details? How did Bushyhead get tagged out at the plate?

[Sooner95]

Crap, in a bind here..

[S.PadreIsl.Sooner]

Now the defectors have bases loaded with no outs! Crap!!!

[Sooner95]

One scores, but a big DP.

8-7 MU t8

[Sooner95]

Whew. Fine job of getting out of that.

8-7 MU B8

[ouboomer1]

love the way Fisher has pitched this year, hopefully his role will expand next year

[S.PadreIsl.Sooner]

Serious clutch performance by Fisher! Wow!

[BlackwellSooner]

We dodged a bullet, bases loaded, 0 outs. Lucky to get out of the inning with just one run given up.

Apparently our D totally screwed the pooch on a sacrifice bunt with a Mizzou man on first - - result, men on 2nd and 3rd, no outs. Walked batter, loaded the bases...

WHEW!

Come on guys, let's get the bats smoking!

[Sooner95]

Woohoo!!!!

[BlackwellSooner]

per the Twitter feed:

MUTigerBaseball Benches clear here in Bricktown as Ben Turner gets in the face of Cody Reine after Walsh plunks him.

[BlackwellSooner]

What has White done today? I know that he flied out deep, what else? Can he deliver?

EDIT: Looks like White flied out deep again, to the warning track... Going to the 9th, down 8-7

[S.PadreIsl.Sooner]

Top of 9th. Down 8-7.

[BlackwellSooner]

Who is up for OU in the bottom of the ninth?

[Sooner95]

Alright. This is it.

We are down by one heading to the Bottom of the 9th inning.

[Lott's Bandana]

If he would have held up at 2nd then we would of had bases loaded with one out. The fly would have brought in the leading run.

I'm pretty sure 3rd was open. Bushyhead and Oberste had scored ahead of Carey.


B9, everyone don your Rally Caps!

[BlackwellSooner]

Fast half inning! Per the twitter feed:

This game is in the hands of Ryan Yuengel, who comes back out for the ninth inning. 7 seconds ago · reply · retweet · favorite


A 5-4-3 double plays sends it to the bottom of the ninth. 8-7 Tigers.

[S.PadreIsl.Sooner]

Woo hop! Leadoff walk!

[Lott's Bandana]

BTW, Cox shows the game in their listings, but showing Rangers game.

Listening to Toby.

Home jack ends this!

[S.PadreIsl.Sooner]

Sac bunt. Runner at 2nd. 1 out.

[BlackwellSooner]

Sac bunt good, RISP. Pitching change for Mizzou, one out!

Bushyhead at the plate when action resumes....

[ouboomer1]

Bushyhead Walks....Oberste coming up

[ouboomer1]

Oberste fly out....up to Chase Simpson

[ouboomer1]

Simpson single but Bushyhead hit the ball with foot and Missouri wins......darn it....Dishman would of been out at home.

[Sooner95]

Well son of a bi....

[Sooner95]

Heck of a run Sooners!!! Heck of a run!

[BlackwellSooner]

Flukey win for Mizzou, getting the win by a single hitting the baserunner!

[ouboomer1]

feel bad for Bushyhead had the early error and than to have a ball hit your foot baserunning in the bot of the
9th.....

[Boomer.....]

We were thrown out at home anyways.

[Boomer.....]

Our pitching, which carried us the past few weeks, let us down today, but our bats kept us in it. Overall a great tournament and hopefully we can carry the momentum into regionals.

[BlackwellSooner]

Great run, Sooners! Someone had to lose, we were on a 5 game streak, Mizzou on a 4 game win streak.

[S.PadreIsl.Sooner]

Sucks!

[ouboomer1]

it was good to come to a lively baseball thread today, hopefully next week there will be some good regional talk....

[PalmettoSooner]

Boys made a great run in the tourny. Wish we had won it but I'm proud of this team. They really started to come together at the end of the season and hopefully we can make a huge run to the CWS.

[FaninAma]

Anybody else at the game think the 30 or so Mizzou fans that showed up at the game were obnoxious as hell? I think Magnifico let them get inside of his head in that first inning. And to rub salt in the wound Phillips 66 presented the loudest, most obnoxious Mizzou fan their fan of the game award.Still it came down to the Sooners making too many mistakes in the field and on the base paths.

Mizzou has always had the worst effing fans - in all sports. They're like whorn fans without the burnt orange. Good riddance and get the **** out.

Couldn't have said it better. Needed a a few cups of warm pepsi hurled in their direction.

The one and only Mizzou fan I've ever really known used to go on and on about Kelvin Samspon's relentless whining to the officials. This from a fan of Norm Stewart's.

I'm an easy drive from Columbia and refuse to go to any OU games up there. They act as bad or worse than LSU fans - just to be d!cks because they really don't GAS about their team. The SEC can have them.

It was actually the A&M fans sitting with the Mizzou fans that were being obnoxious. That's the worst part of it.

[setem]

Anyone see me catch a foul ball during sunday's game? I represented the Sooners is a great way. I was with my wife and nephew(19 years old) none of us had a need for the ball. So I gave it to a guy with a 3 or 4 year old kid. When he got the ball it looked like I made that kids day. He was overcome pretty much. Made me feel pretty darn good! Didn't hurt that I was on TV! HAHA!
