Big 12 Tournament

Sloan shouldn't have come out for the 9th inning. But that is what happens when you don't have lights out closer

A fresh arm would have been better I think.

Damn

Or an offensive coach that doesn't know when to bunt.

Tonight is squarely on Loos and Mos

 

[Atomic Frawg]

I'm really beginning to not like the Arizona teams.

 

[PurpleBlood87]

Huge what if Griffin hadn't gotten picked off with Stros at the plate.

At second base no less

I was surprised Sloan started the ninth. IMO Saars has a history of leaving pitchers in too long.

It's not like we have a game today and one tomorrow. That was it. After batters have seen his stuff twice, it's best not to let them see something familiar the third go-round.

I bet LaPour could have thrown 10 pitches.

I like to think the team having to sit there and watch. Arizona celebrate after walking out with a game we locked down for 8 innings should leave a burning gut desire to go into whatever tourney they get and destroy whoever they’re playing. Last night should light another fire in this team

 

[Opintel]

I hope so. That was rough, but Warriors will respond!

Go Frogs!

One thing we learned is that many of our hitters and pitchers are hot right now. Holding Arizona to 0 runs into the ninth was very impressive. A good place to be in the postseason. Would have liked to have won, but easy to draw momentum if their minds are right.

Hot pitchers and hitters aren’t going to do us any good if the coaches can’t make smart decisions and adapt situationally. Leaving in pitchers too long and not bunting are how you get bounced of tournaments early.

I know that some people don't like to be happy but if you'd told me before the tournament that we'd score runs against the league's best pitcher, run rule Kansas, outscore opponents 19-4 and lose the championship game by a run in extra innings I would have been fine with that.

 

[PurpleBlood87]

I bet LaPour could have thrown 10 pitches.

And if Saarloos had brought in LaPour and he'd have injured his arm you'd be on here today complaining why Saarloos brought him in and ruined the Frogs chances of winning a regional.

 

[ShreveFrog]

I try to be positive. But we probably blew our chance to host. An RBI groundout in the 1st for our only run was followed by 9 scoreless innings with blown chances, including a pickoff at 2nd. Sure takes the shine off those first two wins. A real downer.

If coach had pulled our second best pitcher and given up a home run, we’d be saying the exact same thing, but why did we pull him. He was in a no win.

I would have preferred a bunt, but it’s post season again; time to get on board for the fun!

 

[BleedNPurple]

Woulda shoulda coulda - they know we’re for real and we were there!
