Props to Mia Scott. Watched a replay this morning. During the 5th inning rally, she "baited" that throw to second from Busby the cutoff by staying off the bag. She had Busby's attention all the way as Busby never checked Whitaker's progress. Great softball IQ.

Hoping for the next Gasso. Ross Bjork is a pretty savvy AD. He missed on a splash hire but likely did his homework.

Congrats to everyone, including the great posts here ! Mike White is reminiscent of Augie. Disappointments during the regular season but come playoff time you don’t want to play his team. He lives for this - it’s his life !

AAS article about incoming infielder Leighann Goode and SA O'Connor winning State yesterday. (excerpts) In the victory, Goode went 2-for-4 with an RBI single. She also scored a run and stole two bases. A shortstop and leadoff hitter, Goode hit .500 over her two games at this weekend's state tournament. Goode earned a spot on the Class 6A all-tournament team. When Goode signed with Texas this past November, she was rated by Softball America as the No. 40 recruit in her class. Extra Inning Softball evaluated Goode as a top-20 prospect and top-three infielder. "A Texas native, Leighann is a talented, five-tool athlete who can play infield or outfield with equal ability," Texas coach Mike White said. "We see Leighann contributing to our team immediately and over the years to come." Goode joins Citlaly Gutierrez as the 2022 Texas recruits who have won a state title at McCombs Field. Last year, Gutierrez led Stamford to the Class 2A title. Katie Cimusz (Humble Atascocita) and Sophia Simpson (Barbers Hill) are the current Longhorns who won state championships while attending Texas high schools. https://www.statesman.com/story/sports/2022/06/05/texas-softball-signee-leighann-goode-wins-state-title-mccombs-field/7523574001/

Evidentlly. I do remember that being discussed during her transfer.

And that is what we need to do - recruit Calif which has overall superior talent. Gasso is from Calif, many connections. We never stood a chance with Coleman vs OU. She is from The Colony, Mom is a high school coach and Dad is a travel ball coach. (they were, not sure if active) All those kids from North Dallas have been OU brainwashed. Even aggy and Baylor have written off North Dallas to concentrate on Houston with us. Tech gets a couple of leftovers. But hopefully this CWS appearance will be the beginning. Edit: Let's hope OKSt can win this WCWS if we don't.

Re: Trautwein Just noticed she started game 1 at the WCWS. 4.2 with 88 pitches but a day of rest. They may stick with her due to experience vs the soph May.

OU went with Trautwein vs aggy in the 1-0 game in the Regional and the first game of the SR vs UCF. Agree, great improvement. Leighann Goode, Texas signee shortstop is in town this weekend with San Antonio O'Connor for the State Tournament. Read she played travel ball with Scott and Simpson. Finals may be televised if a listing can be found.

Does the NCAA still drug test during championship tournaments ? Of course, if prescribed adderall is legal. Exactly ! Hunter Yurachek is a good AD. The fan attendance was indicative of their support. He doesn't want to let that go. Also, Deifel and her husband have young children. Family has to be considered. But admittedly, with say a 500K plus salary and aggy facilities/recruiting base she may have to pause to give thought.

Kody looks real confident at the plate. Not chasing, seeing pitches well.

All-session tickets will go on sale Wednesday, June 1 at 9 a.m. CT at TexasSports.com/Tickets. If available, single-session tickets will go on sale Friday, June 3 at 9 a.m. CT. The Friday time seems late considering 1PM game start.

Sometimes having faith in a guy is borne and his confidence grows in having well established expectations/roles. Well said @Had Enough. Surprisingly, we lead the B12 in ERA. Kyle Peterson, ESPN, said pitching is down across the NCAA this year. That said, pitchers need to be developed and shown confidence. Frank Anderson has Tennessee at 2.37. Wow ! https://big12sports.com/stats.aspx?path=baseball&year=2022 https://www.ncaa.com/stats/baseball/d1/current/team/211

Arkansas radio host "goes off" on Michael Turner, catcher grad transfer from Kent St. No words... Arkansas baseball is crumbling. Their sports info director needs to coach players on interviews, especially from demeaning radio personalities.

Congratulations to the team and THE YOUNG WARRIOR !

Saw the below article today. Bleak numbers for the buyer. Dealerships continue to roll. (excerpts) full article has info on preowned market and finance rates - The average incentive offered by dealers has dropped to an all-time low of $1,034, according to a joint estimate from J.D. Power and LMC Automotive. - The average per-car profit at dealerships is $5,046 — up from $2,733 a year ago — which is offsetting a slower sales pace. - A growing share of buyers are trading in their car for another preowned vehicle. The average amount paid for new car is more than $45,200, up 18.7% from a year ago, according to a joint forecast from J.D. Power and LMC Automotive. Buyers are paying about $700 above sticker price on average, Drury said. At the same time, the average incentive offered by dealers has dropped to an all-time low of $1,034, compared with $2,996 a year ago, the J.D. Power/LMC forecast shows. Generally speaking, dealers don’t need to offer much in the way of incentives to sell cars these days. In fact, despite the pace of sales being down 23.8% from a year ago due to reduced inventory, the average per-car profit at dealerships is $5,046 up from $2,733 a year ago. “This elevated per-unit profit level is more than offsetting the drop in sales volume,” said Thomas King, president of J.D. Power’s data and analytics division, in the forecast. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/05/27/memorial-day-weekend-car-shopping-is-looking-pretty-bleak-.html

In Shea's defense, weight gain may be (certainly not sure) because of medication she takes for Graves Disease. I read Graves Disease causes weight loss but you take antithyroid meds which can cause weight gain. Also, she has been here since 2019 and has not yet graduated. Seems to be personal issues, softball is an outlet.

Exactly ! Arkansas is a much, much better hitting team than Washington. Check their stats. Need to show them something different.

Alabama defeated Arkansas 4-3, SEC tourn. Coach Van Horn missed game due to illness (no details). Two weeks ago Ark and OkSt were in top 10 in line for top 8 seed. Now headed down. Cruel game.
