  1. As stated by @zlavydra, Maryland is solid. Won over 35 games last year, lost to ECarolina in Regional Final. Up and coming young Coach Rob Vaughn from Humble, played at KSt. The sweep does mean Baylor has problems. Need the B12 to be strong for conference RPI purposes.
  2. Everyone report back in the morning at 10AM, Notre Dame
  3. Last year White stated the team did not know each other well and could not bond with off field activities because of Covid. This year is no excuse. And as someone mentioned above, there seems to a void in leadership. Iakopo, Jennae, Burke, and Parker just don't have that personality. This is where we miss you know who, now at Ok St.
  4. Tough to bring young Simpson back same day, mental thing.
  5. Very much so. Not sure there has been a dedicated strength/performance coach for softball, but it would help. Melissa Schmitz, below, has the duty along with Golf and Cross Country so her plate is full. Lance Sewell at one time did both baseball and softball. He did a great job and was well liked. Pierce may not want to share the baseball person. It is very important for flexibility and proper strength training and most importantly nutrition. Some of the players look like they have added bad weight and lost flexibility and speed. https://texassports.com/sports/softball/roster/staff/melissa-schmitz/68
  6. True. I mean if they don't do it on their own.
  7. Notice no one comes out of the dugout to greet Dolcini, not even the other pitchers. Sign of problems in this program. The coaches, Barrett and Singleton, need to tell them to do that. Barrett is worthless.
  8. Credit to Czech for staying focused.
  9. Great game, Sophia !
  10. May be tough to eliminate. Can only assume the horn is endorsed by Marc and the OccupyLF crowd. Maybe a group should talk to Marc.
  11. I may have spoken too soon. Ok St routed by LSU 10-2. Miranda started 3.1 IP/3R/4BB/2K/65 pitches
  12. https://mygoodstream.pw/espn/espn3.php?id=8e7af67c-a708-483f-adb5-77c5a74531f7&co=jm
  13. 1st out on an attempted steal down 4 runs. Terrible !
  14. He has a .771 overall win percentage, every team has advanced to the super regionals. 5 CWS appearances but teams have never advanced beyond semifinals. Reports were he signed a 5 year contract which would expire in '23. not sure, I think salary is about 450K. Will be interesting to see if he wants to face the SEC gauntlet, though I believe he is in the top 5 or 10 salary wise. He seems to be the type always looking for opportunities. Previously, he had outstanding assistants (Jimmy Kolaitis, Chelsea Spencer) and that may be showing. Singleton seems to be a good hitting coach but not sure why the other asst (Megan Bartlett) was hired. Midwest connections, not sure of her forte other than being a ND grad with a J.D. from Northern Illinois. tl:dr; No idea
  15. Parker in LF ? And miscommunication on a popup. You be You, Mike. 🙄
  16. Why do you think he went the transfer route ? Lack of talent, prev committed to other schools, failure to recruit, all of the above ? Simpson appears to be the 2nd best pitcher behind Dolcini. She has alot to learn but awesome pitch repertoire.
  17. 6:30 Check the game thread tonight. Someone may post a link.
  18. Oh noooooo, you're back ! 🙂 Look forward to your posts.
  19. Cantu has never played the outfield. lB, 3B, DP at Tech. Can't recall if she played OF here last year. Example of offense over defense. That low liner in the 2d inn was very catchable. Why save Dolcini for #25 Auburn vs #6 Florida St. Don't anyone jump, old cliche "It is a marathon, not a sprint"
  20. Ok St ace Kelly Maxwell pitched a 1 hit shutout vs Michigan. 4-0 Ok St. Ok St is tough.
  21. Cam Williams may not have received the credit he deserved for providing leadership and maturity to a young team. He loved Texas and played like he loved Texas. I will miss him.
  22. https://www.hookem.com/story/analysis/podcast/2022/02/17/texas-baseball-coach-david-pierce-discusses-2022-season/6831408001/ Today's podcast with Pierce discussing opening game/season. Good insight on the pitching staff and other questions. Approx 22-25 minutes.
  23. Burbank transferred to San Jac after 1 year for PT. Transferred to Rice to play with is younger brother (infielder). Starter for SanJac, good stats. NJCAA
  24. McNeese hosted a tournament last weekend and went 5-0 against UNT, Tulsa, UAB, and Texas Southern (2). Had 3 shutouts. Pretty solid club, made regionals last year at 35-26. Clearwater games will be televised. Good to see college softball getting its due. (sry for large print, copied from schedule)
  25. siap: The Cardinals have their own concerns about Murray, with sources describing the 2019 No. 1 overall pick as self-centered, immature and someone who points fingers. Arizona coach Kliff Kingsbury is said to be self-scouting where he can provide better alternatives to help Murray, according to sources. Meanwhile, select veterans on the team hope to reach out to Murray on how the 24-year-old can better handle adversity, sources said. Despite the acrimony, the Cardinals expect things to calm down and for Murray to be their quarterback of the present and future. https://sports.yahoo.com/amid-reported-friction-with-kyler-murray-cardinals-say-they-have-high-regard-for-franchise-qb-203902387.html
