MW's contract expires Sep '23. This would be the year he wanted to make a run and garner an extension and pay raise like Pierce. Doubt he will go anywhere unless he so chooses and finds someone to match his salary of 450K+. Pitching staff has regressed so much and that is on him. Simpson and Czech had good outings earlier. If you see a replay of the game, note his exchange with Simpson in the 1st inning. She and Czech are intimidated by him instead of having their confidence/mechanics bolstered. The following pitchers left during his tenure. 3 of the 4 were highly recruited and the type you want to stay. Draw you own conclusions. Chloe Romero - Cal Ariana Adams - Syracuse Miranda Elish - OkSt Grace Green - not sure where https://texassports.com/news/2021/11/10/softball-inks-five-players-to-its-2022-signing-class.aspxbo Above is preview of '22 class. 1 pitcher. So the portal he will go. Save Dolcini, did not do well last time. But ask yourself, what top pitchers really want to come here ?

1PM start per twitter. WVU is hitting only .265 but has stolen 139 bases with 174 attempts. LHP should help. Hope Silas had a good breakfast.

-
Recap for those that may have not followed: Texas leads 8-0 after 3 with Dolcini only giving up 1 hit. MW apparently thinks run rule and experience and brings in Czech who gives up 9 hits and 6 runs in 2 innings. Brings Day in for 1 inning and brings Dolcini back for 1 inning to close. Like Pierce in baseball, MW has not developed this pitching staff.
-
MW brought in Czech to relieve Dolcini for 4th and it didn't go well. 9-3 'Horns after 5. OU wins their 10th straight B12 title with a 6-0 win vs OKSt. FML
-
OU 7 OKSt 1 game 1 of 3 game series. Difficult to watch. Elish went 0-3 as DH. Bahl only threw 87 pitches. OKSt needs to make her throw more. We made her throw 109 in the 3-0 loss and 138 in the 4-2 win.

Hiring an outstanding coaching staff has paid more. Rumor was we did not show genuine interest or sincerity in Schlossnagle and only talked to him as one of the final candidates. They only have 8 transfers (below article). We have as many (Messinger, Schuessler, Stehly, Melendez, O'Dowd, Blair, Morehouse, Olivarez) if you include juco transfers which aggy includes in their 8. If interested, read the below article and check the bios of their coaching staff. With the hire of new head coach Jim Schlossnagle this past summer, A&M baseball has gone to work creating a very impressive coaching staff and bringing eight transfer athletes to Aggieland. Baseball America recently tabbed the Aggies with the nation’s best transfer class in 2021. https://www.thebatt.com/sports/a-m-s-transfer-class-brings-experience-fresh-potential/article_946eb30a-37a1-11ec-9311-b74ae6145950.html https://12thman.com/sports/baseball/roster#sidearm-roster-coaches

https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/softball/d1/ncaa-womens-softball-rpi OU is #2 in RPI behind Va Tech released 2 May, same date as this predicted bracket. OU is affected by being in a weak B12. The OKSt series beginning Thursday should provide opportunity for # 1 RPI.* (* no need to debate RPI formula, it is what it is)
-
Thanks ! Unless we play better than against Tech, Baylor may be difficult to sweep. This is their final series and postseason for their Seniors.

College Sports Madness (not most reliable) predicted bracket. Sry for format.

Pierce just signed a 5 year extension @1.2M per year last Summer. No idea if he will make staff changes and will likely use the CWS as a basis. Congrats on a great series ! Though certainly reasons to do so, I did not see any "Horns Down", looking into the Texas dugout, or any form of taunting by OKSt. Classy team with a classy coach. Trust me, Josh could have had the Texas job if he wanted it. Give him a pay raise.

Witt's surgery was 28 March. Witt's Dad, Kevin, is a former MLB player and was a hitting coach in the Marlins organization. Not positive, I think he is now involved with youth baseball in the Houston area. They will carefully evaluate and make best decision for Tanner with input from Kevin's contacts. Don't know his relationship with Pierce and staff but there is likely concern about pitcher's management/development. Though guessing Tanner has a private pitching coach. The saving grace may be Tanner is from a Longhorn Family.

Nice story about Garrett Wilson and the draft. (excerpt) No one had a better seat during Wilson's high school career that Cavaliers coach Hank Carter, who sat with Wilson and his parents — Kenneth and Candace Wilson — Thursday night in the shadows of the Las Vegas Strip. Carter's ticket to the show was made possible by an NFL program called "Thank You Coach." Yes, it all started when Wilson was a Lake Travis freshman. He arrived at the spacious school with the idea he would be the next great Lake Travis quarterback. But the Cavaliers already had an established quarterback in Charlie Brewer and Carter was looking for another way to utilize his talent. Wilson was reluctantly switched to wide receiver and the rest is history. "He has this athleticism and concentration to catch the football," Carter said. "It was something I had never seen before." https://www.statesman.com/story/sports/high-school/2022/05/02/former-lake-travis-wide-receiver-garrett-wilson-ready-nfl-career-baker-mayfield-garrett-gilbert/9589104002/

OKSt @ Fla St, no score after 2. ESPN2. Play again Friday, 5PM, ESPNU. Nice mention/tribute for Lauren Bennett, JMU. Mentioned Elish out with bicep tendon injury, Questionable depending on rehab whether she will be able to pitch again this year, "may" pinch hit, play 1B in the future.

iirc, @midtown just went this route. If he sees thread may offer advice.

Pittsburg was using the all staff approach, lost 3-1 to Brewers. Peters went 2 innings, no runs, hits, 1 BB. PITTSBURGH -- The Pirates’ starters have had a problem, well, starting. In seemingly every game, Pittsburgh has been behind the eight ball. That formula wasn’t sustainable. Something needed to change. So, a change was made. For the first time this season, manager Derek Shelton employed an opener. Left-hander Dillon Peters was called on for the task. Bryse Wilson was originally scheduled to start, but the right-hander would follow Peters out of the bullpen instead. Although the Pirates lost to the Brewers, 3-1, on Wednesday at PNC Park, it’s hard to deny that the formula worked as desired. “Dillon threw the ball well, Bryse threw the ball well,” Shelton said. “We got all the situations we wanted. We just didn’t win the game.” 'Opener' strategy effective for Peters, Wilson (mlb.com)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Bushong Member of the '75 Championship Team, pitching coach for Gus '90 - '93 before selection as head coach at Texas St. Read the GoFundMe. Texas St takes care of their own. Hope this receives publicity thru the Texas community. Several former Texas players have donated.

Also, Elder gets his 3rd start today vs Marlins in Atlanta.

With little fanfare, Preston Hoffart has returned to the team. Thought I saw him today, still on roster #40. Anyone hear anything ? https://texassports.com/sports/baseball/roster

Don't really closely follow, do know that Jalin Flores is a highly rated prospect and may go pro. @Horny Bull likely has more detail. Read that Bolte is very highly rated and also may go pro. Porchas and Coffey the other Calif signees look good. I like Porchas from what I have read. Note Kendall Rogers tweet. Rosters for '23 will go back to 27 on scholarship, 8 nonscholarship permitted except for Seniors who missed 2020. We currently have 42 on roster so there will be attrition.

So how did Lauren Burke (.261) suddenly make an appearance in a most important series ? She did have a hit but Smith or Cimusz should have at least pinch hit especially in the extra innings for their power. Whitaker another possibility. Great game, Hailey !
