Other than our pitching & hitting, this team is pretty good!

@joeywa, you're a better fan than me. I have to clip my toenails or something like that. Maybe we can salvage a game at home tomorrow. 

God bless,

I'm blaming you if there are toenails coming at me during my dreams the next few nights? ?

We really needed to win this series. Not totally blaming the ump, but my god some strikes were balls, and some balls that were called strikes were balls.  Not certain, that it would have made difference, but Trey gave up and out on 7 balls as did another guy after him.

Top offense  my ass; the offense is more like the Rangers and the Pitching is more than 1 pitcher being missed. Lots of mental blocks .

If you noticed in the 9th they mentioned Texas giving up no walks than Nixon hits the batter on what would have been ball 4. Never seems to fail that if you mention something, it happens.

Great point, I was coming on here to state something similar. I've stated this before but Nixon's confidence appears to have been shattered at Tech when that runner stole home. 

I did noticed, and was so pissed about that. Especially  after the plunking of the 1st batter. Was hoping that would happen to OSU.  

They need to be told that they werr bad for business this weekend after the Saturday game and they posted that we were 11 in seeding currently in regional  and Okie Lite  was 16. That might change after this weekend.

Might have to see the prices for the Big 12 tournament  in Arlington in a couple of weeks.

That will change. Texas was flat out embarrassed yesterday. We may not even be seeded at the end of the season.

In the 6th when okie lite put up 7 runs with 2 outs, Tristan got screwed on a call that should have ended the inning w/no damage done. Granted it wouldn't have changed the outcome of the game but that "ball" was definitely a "strike" for the 3rd out!
