    Blue is already a total mess. It's an accident when they get a pitch or a base call right.
  2. Gut Wagon
    A 3-spot in the top of the first would be gruntling. Be patient and put it in play.
  3. Gut Wagon
    I'm ready. Hope the team is.

    The more I watch college softball, the more I wonder where the ideal power-speed balance is. Fast, sure-handed outfielders obviously are no defense against balls that clear the fence. And with the strength and skill of many modern hitters, the parks are getting a little snug. Oppo homers hit on a line are common any more, and it's not just the big girls who are hitting them.

    You knew that as soon as White mentioned rotating the WCWS she'd spin that into telling her girls, "Texas thinks you only win because you get to play in OKC every year. They think they're better than you."

    Play better. That starts by not putting pitches on a tee. It continues with playing defense. It ends with putting solidly hit balls into play every inning. Do all that and you win. Tonight we did none of them.

    When you're playing as badly as Reese is, the only way out starts with a long, hard look in the mirror. She'll either rise to the occasion or not. We're in even deeper trouble if she doesn't.
  8. Gut Wagon
    Better vibes now, at least. We'll need them from here on out.

    Come on, Stewie. High and deep.

    Softball defenses (including ours) are frequently thinking there are two outs when there are three. Happens almost every week. That was a bad case of the other way around. But hey, get it out of your systems now.

    Would we win a title with Canady? We'd have a great chance. That's about what it takes, since the best teams you meet in the supers/WCWS will have someone elite to lean on. One true ace is worth much more than four good pitchers.

    No small ball from a lefty lineup facing a top lefty pitcher. Puzzling. I mean, we got a run by swinging hard, but we've also made it easy on Maxwell way more times than not.

    Relax and play.

    What really gets you beat is room service pitches against veteran hitters. This ain't Stanford in the other dugout.

    If Czech were a righty, she probably wouldn't ever see the mound in OKC. But I think we'll see her at some point. Hard for me to fathom complete games from all our starters. Hopefully she can stifle Parker, Boone or Coleman in a key spot. The final out of a championship would be a really nice sendoff.

    Speaking of recruiting, are Brister and Salmon our only two HS signees for next season? I assume Hannah Wells stays a year later.
  17. Gut Wagon
    With Maxwell pitching we need lefty small ball, righty power. It's not complicated.

    I'm confident someone at Texas will play the QB position well during Lacey's college years. Whether or not that's Lacey remains to be seen.
  19. Gut Wagon
    Lettuce celebrate.

    We (nearly) all saw that coming when Florida quit hitting. They desperately needed to get up 6-4 but couldn't. That was the difference.
  21. Gut Wagon
    You just defamed dogs.
  22. Gut Wagon
    No serious threat of small ball from Florida makes them easier to defend. So does a generous strike zone.
  23. Gut Wagon
    Had they gone up by 2, I'd agree. But no such luck. To me it's now a coin flip.
  24. Gut Wagon
    Speed and short basepaths clearly are made for small ball. As noted, we have speed aplenty. We're extremely lucky to have had Stanford botch that rundown...not to mention their terrible E4 to get that rally started. But faced with the option of hitting Canady for power vs. getting errors from an infield that's been lulled to sleep watching her dominate, I'll take my chances with the latter every time.

    Somewhat overlooked in the praise of our pitchers in OKC is the team's tremendous defensive showing thus far. Scott's snag of that laser beam rightly is burned into our brains, but let's not discount yesterday's double play started by Kavan or the highlight catches we've seen this week from everyone in the outfield. We'll never know what might have happened if one of those had been a Boone-level misplay. On another front, you have to figure everyone at aggy is grinding their teeth over how well they hit our staff in Austin and how competitive they might have been had they made it to OKC. Poor aggy.
