ORU can hit the damn cover off the ball too. I don't think OSU really wants any part of ORU in this regional and wishes they had been sent somewhere else to give someone a headache
Absolutely. ORU is a #4 seed no #1 seed wants to see that first game. Ironically, DBU is the #2 seed. DBU swept a 3 game weekend series from ORU this season. Tough regional.
They beat Houston, which was playing for a tourney spot, and ECU, which supposedly was trying to get a regional...
Houston has an RPI of #102. They aren’t very good. I can’t see ECU being in the host discussion with an RPI of #26. That said, great run by Tulane and congrats to them for making the tourney.
In a single game series, ORU has a 60/40 shot at winning against most teams. Their top pitcher is MLB caliber and they can hit the cover off the ball. Where they will be tested is the depth of the pitching staff in a long weekend where they may be forced to play multiple games in a day. Honestly this is what separates the best teams from good teams in college baseball.
IDK, it would be one more coach to have the "he's won 20% of his games but he got to the AAC finals this year before losing 22-2, you can't fire him if he made the conference finals!" discussion and I'm not sure I can take that.
Baseball and wrestling seem like 2 sports TU could add, recruit to and do well in pretty quickly. OK has a ton of good athletes in both those sports.
First OSU and then Arky lost in their own regionals. So many redneck tears.
Maybe... but i hate not having a team to cry over in the spring..
Sonny has about as much integrity as Dave Bliss. I've met both and shook their hands...I feel I am able to make that comparison.
Sunny coached my sons travel ball team and I won't disagree.. I still remember his advice to all of his players "Rule 1.. all coaches lie"..
Hard to see BB being good in less than 3 years. FB is (or can be) definitely on a better timeline.
The seedings and using the RPI or NET or anything like that to put teams in a bracket is just laziness. If any of those clowns in the baseball selection committee room had watched ORU at any given point this year they would have known that the team they were putting in the tournament was nowhere close to a #4 seed. They did OSU an extreme disservice by putting ORU in Stillwater as a #4. This team absolutely hits the cover off the ball. Not only that, they don't get themselves out by swinging at a ton of bad pitches. Take the 9th inning last night for example. 3 walks and a HBP that all ended up as RBIs for those batters.
Agree. Not sure how anyone who watched the Supers this past weekend didn’t come away a fan. Great games. Loud stadiums. Fantastic emotions
It sucks that Tulsa doesnt have a team... so much local talent.. likely 15-20 locals drafted in first 5 rounds..
Several of the kids my son played with got drafted including Cade Horton, Dax Fulton and Braxton Hyde....
