Oregon's catcher threw his hands up as if thier was some confusion with the sign, maybe he was deliberately acting confused but the dozen consecutive pickoff attempts in a high stake situation did not do OU any favors. At some point you need to let your team play pitch and catch and get back to the fundamentals. The overkill killed thier season.

brain fart, pure and simple. Oregon tried to get too cute instead of just playing baseball. I never understand the extended lazy throws to first base unless the pitcher is trying to give the bull pin time to warm up. If you are not really trying to pick the guy off, the risk of a balk is to much in that instance. Obviously they did not bring anyone in, so they needed to just let the kid pitch his game.

I wondered if he was trying to call time
