  1. Despite how streaky and unreliable history shows Pena to be, I'd be tempted to try him behind Tucker and slide Alvarez back a spot. Even if only for a few games. Anything to shift the dynamic of this mess behind Tucker.
  2. Three miserably bad ABs. Only Tucker's was even a mild surprise.
  3. Quality start for Framber...against all odds.
  4. First-place home team hosts bitter division rival on a holiday evening and can't put 25K in the seats. Impressive support.
  5. Framber settling in as Miller's looking worse is a doubly positive trend. At least we're now competitive and not spectating.
  6. Unfortunately for about 2/3 of our lineup, Miller doesn't have the look of a slump buster.
  7. What's worse than a failed high-dollar free agent signing? Not admitting your mistake and moving on.
  8. Hard to fathom Tucker getting anything to hit these days.
  9. As I sit here watching Josh Bell hit a double and then make a good play at first base, I'm far from gruntled.
  10. I want Texas to win the title, of course. But if we don't, I hope UCLA does. And then dedicates it to Bill.
  11. Why does this seem so familiar?
  12. Conversely, Golden will be wearing out the lip balm.
  13. Yes, it began with seeding. They've also been really lucky to this point, as noted. We can only hope that part suddenly ends.
  14. The meddling to set up OU for a fourth straight title is both obvious and nauseating. They don't need any help, especially playing all home games. Can't wait to see the laughable officiating in their favor.
  15. Don't remind me. 😝 I suppose the "compromise" on the current rule would be to make it a 10- or 12-run margin instead of 8.
  16. True. There's always some hope of a late rally, however faint. That said, let some team in the postseason lose 31-2 because of no run rule and you'll hear all sorts of screaming about how we shouldn't have let those kids be humiliated. Can't have it both ways.
  17. Same thing that screwed us around against aggy, when their 1B came off the bag taking a throw. And we'd won both our earlier challenges, which made it especially galling not to get a review of that play The Stanford runner gave indication of having been hit, which you'd think one umpire or another might have noticed even if they didn't see the ball touch her leg. But for whatever reason (hubris?), they refused to even look at it. Poorly handled.
  18. I'm no LSU apologist (in any sport), but Tiger got jobbed so badly on the ball that appeared to hit the runner's leg. No review. That opened the floodgates and turned it into a rout for no good reason.
  19. A pitched regulation softball is easy to see, relative to a baseball. It's also not traveling at 90 mph with a ton of late horizontal movement. So No HP umpire should have much trouble telling if a softball catches some part of the plate.
  20. Hard to top Texas volleyball, but great softball is awesome.
