Now a bunt puts the winning run at third with one out. Just a stupid, stupid decision to try to get the out at 2nd.

What is Daugherty doing? Sheesh

Been that way most of the year unfortunately.
I thought there was a rule against this...

A reflection of the regular season for this team. They consistently do not make plays to win games.

Gabe Davis is the poster child for Josh Holliday baseball
They're probably still in the post season but I have little expectation. They're bad at everything except starting pitching

The inability to put pressure on teams with our offense all game is a josh Holliday specialty

No killer instinct at all. We all knew what was coming after our bats went quiet and they tied it up.

KU celebrates like they are going to the College World Series for winning a game against maybe the worst OSU team since the 70's.

Post season baseball is all about timely hitting, good defense, and fundamental baseball. We aren’t good at any of them. It’s just who OSU baseball is under josh.

We just lack the relief pitching….using starters for relief pitchers when guys like Phillips, Bade, Blake, the freshman class can’t throw strikes.!! If our starters can’t go 7+ innings, we’re screwed

Kansas will revert back to there usual horrid baseball next year. Let them celebrate. That being said, I hope they win their regional as do all conference teams.

Oh well, a win would have been nice but we weren’t going to win the tournament after burning all 4 starters in two games. And it doesn’t really impact tournament seeding.
The ku one hit wonder losers can get their celebration out because there’s no way they make it out of a regional.

It’s not the losing: it’s the playing tight after any kind of success, it’s the swinging at terrible pitches and watching BP pitches down the middle, it’s the piss poor body language, it’s watching hitters have no clue at the plate besides a Hr swing no matter the situation, it’s the lack of fire in the pitchers, it’s the lack of swagger and leadership in veteran guys (you can’t even tell who upperclassmen are), it’s the low defensive IQ consistently…it’s a lot of losing baseball

Our horrible record in games like this show how Josh's obsession with analytics is flawwed.
The new trend is shoot bulk threes in basketball and in the long run it's better than taking twos, but what do you fall back on when the game is tied and you desperately need a bucket?
Giving up quality ABs for the sake of hitting HRs is the same, sure over a 162 game MLB season it might pay off, but in a 50 game college season, you really better hit some at a record pace, because again, when you need that big hit or need to move the runner from 2nd to 3rd after a leadoff double, what do you fall back on?
Couple that with terrible relief pitching and you have a team that is barely above .500

I would have too until I saw all their antics. The fat guy bat flip at first base and then skipping around all the bases. Then the doofus pitcher who celebrated his game winning strikeout and had to told it was still tie game. Rooting for the B12 but hope they go 0-2.

You know I don’t think so. We’d be a #4 seed at best if we did go and they’d have to deny a trip to a small school team with a good record which I don’t think they should do. I’m betting that baseball and softball seasons are over for this year.
Thank God for the Thunder!

For some reason I see OSU at Oregon, Oregon state, or UCLA

How many k’s today for OSU batters? The last number I heard on the broadcast was 11?
