Regional Round

[Chairman of the Board]

Drew Blake of course comes up clutch

 

[Cowboy4life9688]

What a concept…Blake throws around the zone…

 

[Poke]

Nice job by Blake

 

[Cowboy4life9688]

Now we’re giving the outside corner? Should’ve been ball 4

 

[pokesinomaha]

Because playing in a sec stadium is nerve wracking. Esp after sitting 2-3 days and doing nothing. Playing at Baylor KSU KU and WVU is a whooole lot different than playing in a raucous Baum Stadium in FVille or at Ole Miss or at LSU. It’s intimidating

One thing I thought about going into this regional was exactly this. Especially with the "new" Big 12 and if you look at our conference road series this year. Not a lot of intimidating parks left in the new Big 12 and we didn't play at TCU or Texas Tech which have traditionally been two of the tougher road venues.

Utah
Cincy
Baylor
KU
Arizona

Those were the conference road series and none are a SEC type environment at all.

 

[Poke Skywalker]

What in the world! Way outside

Shull screwed out of a walk

 

[PokeBloke]

BS

 

[pokesinomaha]

Well that 3-2 pitch on Shull is why umps get yelled at. Ump lets this a**hole Georgia coach ride him the entire game despite multiple warnings and then gives him the biggest call of the game. If umps don't want coaches riding them, don't give in to the BS with the game on the line.

 

[Edmondcowboy]

And where is our coach to let the ump have it.

 

[Chairman of the Board]

Leadoff walk goes nowhere.

3 outs left for the Pokes

Exactly, the ump is rewarding that behavior, where are you Josh?

 

[PokeBloke]

Mr. Nice Guy. Hometown coaches are scared to piss off admin.

 

[pokesinomaha]

Ure hasn’t been able to throw strikes in 3 years.

For the hype that came with his signing and the arm talent he has, that outing today was a fitting summation of his OSU career.

 

[Chairman of the Board]

With every guy out of the bullpen, we're just hoping they're good. There's not one reliable arm.

We were lucky to get what we got out of Blake but sending him back out was never going to work out.

 

[PokeBloke]

What the hell was that effort by the first baseman???

2 hopper two steps to your right and you don’t even touch it???

Yep the bullpen has been a mess all season. Zero consistency and always a game of chance on which guy would be decent and who wouldn't be. As inconsistent of a bullpen as you'll see. Team counted on the starting rotation all year and unfortunately Youngerman got sick at the worst time and Bodendorf had his worst outing of the year. Weren't going to go far in regionals if you'd said they'd get 0 pitches out of Youngerman and a bad outing from HB.

Story of the Rob Walton era. Always trying to extend guys longer than he should and it blowing up in his face.

 

[Cowboy4life9688]

Matthew brown…the only pitcher that pitched with some balls today

 

[Chairman of the Board]

Where did that come from?!

 

[Okstatekerr]

Somehow didn’t give up any runs there. Runners on 2nd and 3rd no outs. Last call for the Pokes. Two runs to extend the game. 3 to walk them off
