Texas Softball 2024 - Farewell to the Big 12 (and back to OKC?)
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?

Ha - me too!. But Maloney's average has been so insane this year, it's hard to argue with the result. I will say though, slapping breaks down against teams that are buttoned up on defense, which most teams in the big 12 outside of OU and ASU are not. Teams in the playoff tend to have great defense, so relying on a slapper at the top in the supers is very different than when you are playing tech or kansas.

Coach should think more about alternating righties throughout the lineup to combat this.

With blue giving Kennedy off the plate on her curve against lefties, it’s gonna be a long night. we need more righties. Having the bottom and top of the lineup as all lefties is less than ideal.

Righties can hit her. Our lefties will struggle.

Thank god he’s pulling her.

Looks like the old come out flat special. We have not won any of those this year. starting CG was a big mistake.

Bad pitch calling and bad pitch.

CDC has earned our trust. I think he will do the sensible thing. What must be done eventually should be done immediately.

Should he be let go? Yes. He’s proven to be an ok coach. UT should never have an OK coach at the helm in baseball. Time to move on. Will he be let go? If we go 0-2 in a regional, I think it’s likely he is gone. If we pull some crazy shit like we did last year, he might keep his job.

I'm pretty sure Amanda lives in the Austin area, so that may have played a role in it.

What the fuck is wrong with you, Austin?
Unlikely with Garza. Probably get probation.

Homerism aside, my vote is Canady. She's electric.
-
Texas Softball 2024 - Farewell to the Big 12 (and back to OKC?)
Canady, Maxwell, and Kilfoyl are mainly what worries me the rest of the way. I think we get by tamu to get to the ws. Whether we can beat any of those 3 (perhaps twice) is more iffy. We will see.

Wouldn’t mind seeing Canady knocked out.
