This stupid TN Vandy game is brutal. Just end it in a tie, nobody cares

Why?  You wanna complain about the bullpen?

The exact opposite. I want the bullpen to get plenty of work and still get the W.  They need the pitches.  

[Jeff Howe]

A much-needed 1-2-3 inning for Volantis.

M4: OU 3, Texas 2

Agree.  The more work the better.  Maybe we need to add a 5th game.  I know that won’t happen.  If we win weekends series, we don’t need all the midweek wins.  I think action is what our bullpen guys need.

We will see if Tuesday they use 5 pitchers getting 2 innings max apiece.

From a rivalry perspective I would like to see a Gus Ball strategy apply so much pressure that OU collapses in the 6th and gives up 5+ runs on a couple walks and an error.

End of 4: OU 3, Texas 2

[Jeff Howe]

Volantis has retired seven in a row and got though the fifth on just 8 pitches.

[MikeyHookEm]

Would LOVE to watch the Texas OU game. Vandy and Tennessee still playing grab a$$

[Jeff Howe]

Mendoza draws a two-out walk. That’ll bring Tinney to the plate.

[Jeff Howe]

An OU pitching change coming with two outs in the bottom of the fifth.

[Jeff Howe]

 

[Jeff Howe]

Righty Xander Mercurius is the new pitcher for the Sooners.

[Jeff Howe]

Tinney lines out to center to end the fifth.

End of 5: Oklahoma 3, Texas 2

I complained about Galindo on here yeaterday, and probably somewhere else earlier.  Interestingly, my wife is watching with me today and she said she does not like the announcer today.  🤣

[Jeff Howe]

Volantis walks in a run with the bases loaded and two outs.

Pitching change for the Longhorns with OU leading it 4-2 in the top of the sixth. 

[Burnt Orange Horn]

One batter too late!

[Jeff Howe]

Massive punch-out by Crossland to end the inning!

M6: OU 4, Texas 2

Not a terrible decision to let Volantis deal to a lefty.
