2023 College Baseball Showdown

You have to be in the batter's box before there's 10 seconds on the pitch clock, McLean wasn't.

So its one of those rules they will enforce early and then once the season gets in full swing we will never hear about again?

I'm not paying for Flo. What exactly happened?

Said he wasn’t in the box ready to hit with 10 seconds left on clock. So it was strike 3. He was in box. Ready to hit is debatable but the pitcher wasn’t even on the rubber. Meanwhile 2 innings ago their pitcher threw over to first about 10 times. So tell me which slows the game down more.

O'Toole back out

Groundout to 2B
Strikeout swinging
Ground out to 1B

Nicely done!

5-3 OSU M8

9 straight retired by OSU bullpen

 

[Edmondcowboy]

I'm all for rules to speed baseball up. The biggest problem, though, is mound visits and pitching changes.

Or the 10 throws over to first. I mean their guy got a warning for not throwing the ball on the inside move. I don’t know that McLean didn’t get a warning at some point but I assume he didn’t.

Great inning from otoole

Does appear in the first game at least that they have really beefed up the bullpen

 

[Edmondcowboy]

In my opinion it’s a terrible rule. Show me one person that thinks the game is too long because hitters aren’t getting in the box fast enough. There’s a pitch clock if you aren’t ready by the time he throws it’s on the hitter. Also, they ruled a no pitch on us because we went took quick. So they will have to find a middle ground.

B8

Wulfert lines out to LF
Brown grounds out to 2B

Nolan McLean to the mound looking for the save

Mizzou has 8, 9, and 1 in the order due up

Single to CF on 0-2 pitch
Strikeout swinging. Didn't mess around that time. High fastball.
Strikes out their best hitter with high fastball.
Fly out to left center

Cowboys win 5-3 and are undefeated

 

[Edmondcowboy]

Excited to see what McLean looks like on the mound this year.

 

[Edmondcowboy]

Can hit 100 and you’re throwing an 0-2 curve that ends up hanging. Makes no sense to me.

 

[Edmondcowboy]

Great start to the season.

 

[Chairman of the Board]

Awesome to see the bullpen put up 5 goose eggs!

Only good thing offensively was 4 hits with RISP. But COWBOY BASEBALL IS BACK and its a dub.

And you are starting off the season with uncalled-for insults. Fun!

easy targets make for easy insults. cowboys win, btw.........

 

[Edmondcowboy]

Lefty’s Out if the pen was really good to see. Otoole looked great as well.

 

[Chairman of the Board]

I think Drew Blake should get the W and McLean gets the save.

 

[SanditeCowboy]

Nice win Cowboys! Good to see timely hitting early on, after that a lot of nothing.

Bullpen showed out! Nothing wrong with an opening day W!

Josh in postgame:

said all of the pitchers were "awesome"

liked the play defensively, considering the roof and unique ballpark

liked the big inning, said some guys are "overcompeting" and that executing at the plate is a "learned skill" and will take some time

strikeout total was high, but that's to be expected (?), they have great pitchers

need to work on situational baseball. mentioned the "wonderful rule"with Nolan in the box but not ready to hit.

Proud of the team, time to recover, "that's the most we've been on our feet together in a long time"

Said some really good players (Meola, others) didn't get to play today but will soon

Seriously, my friend, let us disagree, let us argue, but let us not call names. I really like your opinions (and you had a valid point), but you lose credibility when you make it personal.
