Same shit. Different day.

Meh.

Great start. Let’s keep hitting.

At least we are hitting her hard. Need our pitching to be solid.

Kennedy in the circle again.

I love how espn is scheduling all these softball games in 2 hour time blocks. They must not have paid attention to gameplay in 2024.

ha - glad to hear!

Praying to the softball gods Teags has her stuff and we come out ready to hit.

I thought there was a guy on Hornfans named Big Will or something similar that posted threads like that and I thought he died.

She hurt her wrist and had surgery in the offseason - that is likely part of it. She also hit really well to start off last year, but that was in non-conference against bad pitching, and before teams had tape on her to scout. She cooled off once conference play rolled around. This year, she has struggled, particularly if you look at conference games or teams with good/decent pitching. We need her to step up next year though. She's a great fielder. MW won't tolerate batting .240 though.

never said she was horrible, wash is far better though. Lulz at using last year's stats.

If Kennedy goes again, I would pull one of Maloney, Dayton, or Henry and put in a righty that can play corner OF or 3rd. Also, Washington is a far superior hitter to Goode. It's not close.

I'm kinda surprised we haven't seen Estelle much lately. CG and MM have been pretty inconsistent as of late. Maybe Czech looks shaky in pens or something.

Not to derail too much, but this thread is reminding of all the depressing and crazy real-life-intersecting-with-the-internet happenings over the years on various boards: The first I remember was the "cut his package clean off" guy dying. I don't remember the details. Then there was the one that was posted in semi-real time involving the guy and his girlfriend that got a ride with a older dude in his sports car after drinking and they all died in a car accident. Then of course there was the crazy towing guy turning out to be a pedo rapist and serial killer rock thrower The author of the "nice cock, buddy" 1999 big 12 championship game story dying (I think) of a drug/alcohol overdose (not terribly shocking I suppose) Other more recent crazy random shit: the guy that said he had to murder his wife because she interacted with other people during covid, and then disappeared the old physicist ex pat with a penchant for disturbingly young thai hookers besthugecocks.com Other stuff?

Righties were mostly. Our lefties were 2/15 against Kennedy. TAMU will ride her just like we did with Dolcini in 2022. She will throw until her arm falls off. She likes to throw velo and our plan was to puff out our tits and show we got that shit. Let the lefties swing away. It was a terrible plan. We played right into her and Ford's hands with Kennedy's curve and offspeed. Blue giving them bullshit off the plate on the curve didn't help. Anyway, Ford won round 1 against White.

We have to score 1st. I think we are undefeated this year if we do. If we roll out with Maloney, Mia, and Martinez top of the 1st and try the same shit we did today, I'll be apoplectic.

Agree. I would like to see Hunter in there though, even if only to break up the three Lefties that open our lineup. She's shown the moment is not too big for her, and unlike our lefties against kennedy's curve, she has shown you can't just fuck around and pitch outside to her.

We need to play loose, with our hair on fire, like we have nothing to lose. That's what we did in 2022 and what TAMU did tonight. When we play tight as if we just are on defense constantly, we shit the bed and press.

One issue with a heavy righty lineup tomorrow is all our pinch righties play corner IF.

A lot of that loss falls on MW and crew, IMO. Poor decision to start CG (who was shaky against a pretty bad NW team), poor pitch calling when she's in there, needed to pull her sooner. We know we are facing their lefty ace and we make no adjustments until the 6th inning. No small ball at all. Just baffling.

why not lay down a bunt to get on with our lefties? It would be a tie game now.

I said all year Hunter needed more PT! She will be impossible to keep off the field next year.

can Reese hit Kennedy in the face again? kidding/not kidding.

We've been mixing in small ball all year. I have no idea why we didn't go to it here. Our coaches thought (unwisely obviously) we could hit her.

I've seen enough. We're done in this one. Just playing dumb and scared. Except for 2022, we have not been clutch in the postseason under MW. Two biggest things that are killing us: 1) shaky pitching 2) lack of adjustments in hitting. Is anyone shocked lefty Kennedy is giving us trouble?
