Regional Game 2 Thread: TCU Vs. Oral Roberts

[GoFrog Yourself]

Well this makes it interesting. Heefner listening to BU? Mitch T listening to BU? Trout playing the late game in Palo Alto….

If the Baptist thing is truly a big deal to Heefner then I expect he’d give more interest to BU than what he gave TCU

It’s not a “Baptist” thing with DH

wow! Over coaching now.

Guessing you mean the pitching change. I think it masterful coaching. The game was going to be won or lost in that inning. AM for out 1, then bring in your closer. AM is good for tomorrow and your closer got you there. My guess that close game strategy was decided before the game started.

How great would it be if Louisiana could take one from Aggie and then we send Aggie to the showers? I know, I know, but it’s my fantasy!

Not really fantasy. That's pretty much what happened last time in the 2012 College Station regional. We lost our first game, the Aggies lost their second game to Ole Miss, and then we beat the Ags the losers bracket the next day. We then went on to beat Ole Miss X 2 to win the regional.

Maybe but I’m betting it was purely situational because the whole issue was caused by bringing in Walker after CB had tossed a pretty solid prior inning. I’m thinking they wanted Walker to go the distance but his issue forced a different direction. Basically you have to throw whoever you think will get the out now. And the offense hasn’t made it any easier.

We won!

I was there

Incorrect, hitting over .300 as a team. We’ve just actually pitched today (so far).

With the 12 ORU runners LOB today, I wouldn't call that strong TCU pitching. More like ORU hitters being unable to finish the job.

Meanwhile in an off-topic curve….

Poor kid makes the first two outs of the T7 (but pretty productive ones)

Not quite…somebody better check on @tcumaniac though

Wonder if anyone in any league has ever hit 2 sacrifice fly RBIs in one inning. Doubt it.

He's at a Quiddich organizational meeting.

The plot’s thickening a bit. Our regional and the Louisville regional are paired together, with the winners facing each other in a Super. Michigan just beat Louisville, so what if neither A&M nor Louisville win? This scenario played out to our advantage before did it not? I’m encouraged! At least until our pitching takes the mound again tomorrow. Maybe a little early to play what if. Stranger things have happened.

It would be bubblelicious

That’s the infamous Scholss “shut the **** up” that got caught in the espn live feed. Freakin a hilarious.
