  1. 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.
  2. Congratulations to the team and THE YOUNG WARRIOR !
  3. 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
  4. 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.
  5. Exactly ! Arkansas is a much, much better hitting team than Washington. Check their stats. Need to show them something different.
  6. 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.
  7. Cantu was the only one on the Spring grad list. Being overly pessimistic, I have concerns about Simpson. She doesn't look happy, intimidated by MW, alot likely has to do with her age/adjusting to this level. Perhaps a positive showing in the SR will help if she has that opportunity. This is where a strong female assistant can build confidence. With her previous high accolades, her family may have concerns. Again, overly pessimistic. Really hope she stays and is successful. But MW has yet to develop a freshman pitcher at Texas. Both transferred (White, Green). Day may be a concern if she is not satisfied with her role as DP/DH, limited pitching. But we have the geat advantage of offering a UT education. https://texassports.com/news/2022/5/19/texas-athletics-ut-athletics-announces-2022-spring-commencement-participants.aspx Brianna Cantu Softball Economics, minor in Business
  8. Wise choice ! Best to you all in the future.
  9. Congratulations ! He is well beyond his years with the swing/mechanics at the plate. Who is his favorite MLB player ? 🙂
  10. https://www.statesman.com/story/sports/college/2022/05/23/texas-back-back-ncaa-womens-champions-win-over-oklahoma/9887569002/ Congratulations to all ! Enjoy lurking this thread with great info. Above story from AAS gives a nice summary with great player/coach quotes and mutual respect from Joffe and OU's Cohen.

  12. Tell us why ? 🙂
  13. Thanks for sharing that great story. Stanford is back with her as coach ! She communicates well and players show tremendous respect for her for good reason.
  14. Listed as a Senior, Covid year ?
  15. Great win for Stanford and Jessica Allister. She can coach softball. Sad ending for Montana Fouts' great career. @Js1 Was Alana Vawter a Connie commit, so she decomitted ? Shutout Bama with 4 hits.
  16. Agree, I really like Cimusz at 1B, bases loaded double with 3 rbi's yesterday.
  17. On the other side of the ball, UW fifth-year senior pitcher Gabbie Plain will likely be in line to toss back-to-back games, just as she did against Michigan last season. https://www.dailyuw.com/sports/softball/washington-prepares-for-do-or-die-regional-final-versus-texas/article_7616e032-d99d-11ec-a684-470785be3448.html Excerpt above from UW campus paper. UW pitched Nelson, their #2 vs Lehigh. Leaves them Lynch who stated game 1 vs Lehigh. Having to pitch Plain in game 1 for 2.2 innings/47 pitches set UW back. They have to go with Plain in at least game 1 today. . How will MW counter ? Time of year when heroes are made. Ala/Stanford, UK/Va Tech now underway. #6 Ala and #3 Va Tech have to win twice. Championship softball - best time of year.

  19. Word of caution: Washington had this same scenario last year at home and came back to win 2 from #20 Michigan. Lost in Supers to OU. But Wa was ranked #6 last year with 44 wins. That said, this was a tough loss. They came apart.
  20. THE WARRIOR
  21. Plain had to throw 47 pitches in 2.2 innings. Been awhile since we have seen a pitcher like Plain. Not notable velocity, but up, down, all around, lives on the black part of the plate, great location. Best hope is she will have trouble locating.
  22. Great game by Czech and great decision by MW to start her with the LH hitters in Weber St's lineup. Looked like she did early in the year. 1 BB, 5H and 6 K's, 0 errors. Playoff quality stats. In her last outing against Baylor in game 2, Czech gave up 7 hits in 1 inning and walked 2. Props to MW for correcting.
  23. https://www.ncaa.com/scoreboard/softball/d1 Regionals scoreboard.
  24. https://texassports.com/news/2022/5/18/no-16-18-softball-preview-the-ncaa-seattle-regional.aspx Opening game 4:30PM vs Weber St scheduled for LHN. Likely will be an overlap with baseball scheduled at 6:30PM. Interesting to see what they will do.
