Beavs draw first blood as Hendrix leads off with a double, Morrison singles and Hendrix scores on a WP. With runners on 1 & 3rd and nobody out King and Clark strike out. Carey walks to load the bases for Hamilton.
It’s 7 games into the season. The offense hasn’t been great today but has been better this weekend. Pitching is not good right now but their starters are young outside of Moore. Gonna wait and see how much they improve. I honestly expected them to be a 3 seed in a regional and 5th in the pac-12. Felt they would would struggle early on but by late in the season really start putting it together and be dangerous heading into a regional. Not surprised by start this year.
My concern this year was that none of the returning pitchers other than Moore were better than mediocre. Casey teams have been built on really good starting pitching. Just don’t see it this year.
Definitely relying on a lot of youth. That’s the big issue. Not always sure what you will get but the young pitchers have talent. Just a matter of them progressing this season. Why I felt later in the year things will click with the team but it will take a lot of time.
Ice fans on three pitches. Gillette singles and Beavs have 2 on with 2 out and a new ou pitcher. Beavs have now out hit the Sooners, 10-8 but trail on the scoreboard 9-5.
the episode with Casey vs. the Oklahoma manager is a perfect case study in the contrast to Riley, and why I’m looking forward to Andersen bringing some smarts and fire to the OSU football bench.
First. Go Beavs!
Beavs draw first blood as Hendrix leads off with a double, Morrison singles and Hendrix scores on a WP. With runners on 1 & 3rd and nobody out King and Clark strike out. Carey walks to load the bases for Hamilton.
Hamilton strikes out. OU pitcher is 6’7″ 230 and throws heat but forks chased him after 3 last week.
Ice taking the day off. Harrison behind the plate. King at 1b and Clark DH.
Looks like our pitcher is also taking the day off.
so much for the lead
That’s what happens when you have runners at the corners with nobody out and you don’t get a run across.
That didn’t last long. Leadoff walk and b2b triples and a groundout. 3-1 Sooners.
Sooner pitcher can throw 98 mph and has 4 Ks through 2 innings.
Looks like are going to miss the D Conforto and Davis gave us.
Sooners pick up another run with 2 outs on a SB, WP and an error on Donahue at 2b
Morrison singles to lead off the inning, and Harrison doubles him home.
Inning ends with two more Ks and Harrison stranded at 3b
Disappointed with Heimlich’s two starts.
Has to hit the corners to be effective. Doesn’t sound like he’s done too much of that yet.
Leadoff single and then 3 Ks. 4-2 Sooners middle 4.
Man, the freshmen are striking out a lot today.
10 so far.
And not just the freshman. Clark fans for the 3rd time in 3 AB
Is the OU pitcher that good? My computer isn’t allowing me to listen to the radio feed, so I’ve been going off of live stats.
I’m not a big Gabe Clark fan. I’d only start him vs bad pitchers. He was terrible vs P-12 pitchers last year and simply can’t hit good pitching.
12Ks through 5. Ouch
Beavs leave 2 more. Hansen with 2 BB and 3 Ks in the inning. That makes 12 beaver wiffs.
BB, triple and sac fly for the Sooners. 6-2 and nobody throwing in the pen
Sooners take mercy on the Beavs and bring in a new pitcher to start the 6th.
The pitching on this team is pretty much nonexistent. If they don’t have a big offensive game they flat out can’t win games
2 on and 1 out, and Hendrix grounds into a double play to end the Top of the 6th.
Beavs have 8 LOB and Sooners have 0.
4th triple of the day scores 2 more for sooners
Heimlich is choking. Please do the maneuver.
Looks like I was wrong about Heimlich. He is horrible lol
Where’s Yeskie?
Now he’s hitting guys. Sounds like nerves/jitters. Normal I guess, but I thought he’d be an alpha who could just step in and do the job. I was wrong.
Why even let him face this many guys in the 6th?
Well this is sad
Hey Jay, who really gives a shit that Heimlich came out early and should be a high school senior?
Kids. Stay in school LOL.
Three hour game, gotta fill the airwaves
So many guys struggling on the mound this season is not a good reflection on Yeskie as well as the usual waiting too long to pull a pitcher
You guys still going with “we are reloading narrative?”

2-1 in this tournament is pretty good, though. If they win tomorrow and go 3-1 it’s a good weekend.
The schedule should get easier after this, too.
Only encouraging thing in this game is that Morrison has 3 hits and his avg is now over .400
Agree on that.
Angry. You owe Clark an apology LOL.
Not really he just beat up on a bad relief pitcher. That’s what I said he does. 3ks vs the starter. He clobbers bad pitching.
Clark sure like the new pitcher. 3 run dinger.
After striking out in all previous at-bats, Clarks hits a 3-run homer. 9-5 Sooners.
Way to go letting the starter stay in way too long. 6-2 is way different than 9-2
Ice fans on three pitches. Gillette singles and Beavs have 2 on with 2 out and a new ou pitcher. Beavs have now out hit the Sooners, 10-8 but trail on the scoreboard 9-5.
Those missed opportunities early in the game really sting now. Should be 9-7 at the very least
I could totally see this happening with Mike Riley.
fuckin hair trigger temper.
Where’s the TV coverage when you need it?
Exactly
Wait. Did OU just switch pitchers, then change again without the first replacement even throwing a pitch?
Yes. Illegally brought in first pitcher
I step away and miss all the excitement.
A chance to get back in it and Howard strikes out.
Not really a fan of bringing in Howard when he’s had 2 at-bats this season and it’s such a huge spot. Also, I don’t think Howard is any good either.
Banker would throw down, or at least do that “hold me back” thing
When will Parker start announcing?
Beavs have some life.
Comeon, guys. Surely Casey is trying to find out who is where on this team in these early games. Cut him some slack?
Morrison with a big day. 4-4 and 2 RISP with nobody out
Come on beavs, I could use some BIRGing
Nice double there, Scotty.
I try my best for the team!
Really need you to hit a grand slam here, buddy.
I could only manage a sac fly…sorry guys
Damn, really needed Harrison to come through there. Need at the very least for both these runners to score this inning
Grand salami time
Sacks juiced for Clark
Here comes the double play lol
Needed a little more than that, Clark. Come on.
Listening to this is brutal, the prolonged silence by the announcer keeps making me think that my computer dropped the audio.
you should be so lucky
I like this guy better than Parker. I can’t stand Parker…
Anybody know anything about the pinch hitter?
He’s not very clutch.
I guess that answers that.
9 at-bats in his OSU career. Not the kind of guy I’d want up in the biggest at-bat of the game
Did Casey have nobody left on the bench?
Seems you can get a better matchup there.
Jansen was basically all he had left on the bench
BIRG => BLARGH :-(
Rally time
Nevermind. That’s game.
Hamilton with a lead-off single. I’ve got my “rally cap” on.
*Removes “rally cap”*
I think it was a rally crap
haha
Go get ’em tomorrow. 3-1 would be success.
That was still pretty awesome despite the loss thanks to the drama…Surprise!
12 LOB and leaving in Heimlich in too long the keys to the game.
Oh, forgot to mention the 17 Ks if someone was keeping count.
This coach has a lot of “passion” http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2371769-idahos-hc-tosses-binder-ejects-his-own-assistant-coach-during-basketball-game?utm_source=twitter.com&utm_medium=share&utm_campaign=web-des-art-top-22?is_shared=true?is_shared=true
the episode with Casey vs. the Oklahoma manager is a perfect case study in the contrast to Riley, and why I’m looking forward to Andersen bringing some smarts and fire to the OSU football bench.
Riley would have chewed his gum harder.
That Oklahoma coach getting ejected was a neat deal
Rats!!!
