9th straight Omaha loss.

Why does this matter?

The first 8 losses have nothing to do with this team.


Still depressing

Sorry you feel that way.

It's not depressing to me. I am thrilled with our progress under the new coach.

But are they?? Dettmer caught fire for a month but other than that we were pretty much **** all year. I think there are arms here that can and will play big. But this has never been a real good staff.


You may be right, but dang it's hard to believe. There are kids, who can pitch, who would kill for the chance to pitch for Texas A&M. We need some kids to STEP UP!!!


Schloss WILL recruit top pitchers, book it.


Oh no, I know he will.

I want someone to rise to the challenge in Omaha. Since we're here!!

The past is not either Schoss' nor this team's fault but keep beating that dead horse if it makes you feel any better.

OU doesn't even care about baseball and just knocked us.
Shut up. They put a lot of resources into baseball at OU

Just win the next game. That's now the motto for the rest of the season.

We've been taking 3 out of 4 for months now. As far as I'm concerned, today's game was that one loss. Now we should have a few Ws headed our way.

I'd definitely put L. Dale Mitchell ahead of Allie P. Reynolds, but the Pokes have (obviously) gone well ahead with their new park. I don't know if OU has been been fundraising for renovations/upgrades, but I think it's time for them to catch up to the Joneses.

****ing A. I'm not gonna put that baggage on our guys moving forward. These guys have grit and earned my respect. If they get beat in Omaha or come up short because baseball is baseball then so be it.

That said I'm looking forward to a good effort Sunday.

One Kansas billionaire that needs a tax write-off accomplished everything for that oSu facility. Right place, right time, and his desire to get out from under the shadow of Pickens and voila you have O'Brate stadium.

Yes. But the prior 8 are meaningless to this team.

Weird 180 flip.

I made this exact point with a topic on Premium regarding Brent Z's article which unnecessarily included our recent 0-6 streak in Omaha, and you were very much in support of "facts are facts".

I should have said I don't have any TV package. You can't watch on your phone without a cable/satellite package. So unless they're magically showing it on ESPN+ I've got nothing.

The fact that this team is in Omaha is incredible/incredulous/unbelievable. This team has big flaws and they've played WELL beyond their realistic ceiling.

At the beginning of the year with 20+ transfers and my work situation I said, "I'm just skipping this season.". And it looked like a good decision. Then I was intrigued by the LSU, Vandy series, etc etc. I was ... "cautiously optimistic" with the Schloss hire, Definitely didn't feel it was a home run. But it seems I was ridiculously wrong.

This team is a cobbled together mess of parts due to the transition. Very flawed, very talented and very confident (or dumb or clueless, whatever). They never know when they're "supposed" to give up. They're imperfect but oh so fun to watch. So I'll run up to Omaha Sunday just to say I've seen them. It may it may not be their last game but I need to see em in person at least once. They've earned that and so much more.

I didn't have ESPN+ until regionals started. I haven't watched much Big 12 baseball in years. I turned on Bedlam this year, and OSU had this beautiful new park. A little small (in terms of fixed seating) but perfect for their fanbase.

I didn't know the story behind how they got the park, but it makes perfect sense. Maybe the Sooners can do as well for themselves?

I live 15 miles from an interstate and 20 miles from a state capitol building. I'm not that rural. But I do live near the river and do have very shatty cell and internet service.

Pretty much another Aggie team wilting on the biggest stage. Here's hoping they turn it around for the next game.

I'm sure my memory is failing me, but other than Manziel's '12 team, I can't remember one of our teams (big three sports) that flourished under the brightest of lights in the last 30 years.
What an effing cry baby.

Your whole state is the middle of nowhere. Your argument is invalid.

NE Kansas is pretty developed. Most of the white collar KC suburbs are in this part of Kansas (along with Topeka/Lawrence). There's also Wichita. No beauty to look at, but a fair number of people live in and around Wichita.

Outside of this, it's windy and empty with dust.

There needs to be a "TEAM ONLY" meeting and they need to light a fire under this pitching staff's ass.

An unacceptable display out there today.


I'm sure the issue was that the pitching staff just didn't care enough, and wasn't fired up for the game. So yeah, that should fix it.

OR- we leave it up to the coaching staff that have done an unbelievably amazing job squeezing every ounce out of this team possible, even with their underwhelming pitching and fielding most of the year.

Hard to when you walk so many runners. We shot ourselves in the foot. OU isn't the better team. Also you can't bean 3 batters, ridiculous.

They'll get the jitters out and come out on top next game.

I was just in KC a few weekends ago. It's fine. Good to visit for a couple days once, not much more than that.

After we trailed 12-3, I knew it would be tough to come back. We were fighting back before falling short 13-8. I hope we beat Texas or Notre Dame in Game 5 on Sunday to stay alive in the College World Series.

I've lived in Missouri for about 8.5 years now. KC has grown on me. It's not terribly huge, but it has everything a city should have, the people are nice, and it's easy to get around.

I went to 7 Royals games with my son last year. I don't even root for them, but they are so much cheaper to go to than the Cardinals games.

Ugly, flat and dusty. No one would ever visit or move here. Ever.
