  1. Two nights in a row a ball hit so weakly in that spot we couldn't get an out. Like one of those bunts we couldn't lay down.
  2. Just a poor approach all around.
  3. I'm hoping Henry grows out of it. She has the physical tools to be a multi-year All-America if she works hard on the details.
  4. We sure can strand us some runners. OU's power game is hard to beat with walks and singles.
  5. No business walking Hodge, regardless of the call.
  6. That pitch is a strike...unless they already have two.
  7. Staggering the % of runs they've scored on 2-run HRs.
  8. Blue is already a total mess. It's an accident when they get a pitch or a base call right.
  9. A 3-spot in the top of the first would be gruntling. Be patient and put it in play.
  10. 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.
  11. 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."
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. Better vibes now, at least. We'll need them from here on out.
  15. Come on, Stewie. High and deep.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. What really gets you beat is room service pitches against veteran hitters. This ain't Stanford in the other dugout.
  20. 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.
  21. Speaking of recruiting, are Brister and Salmon our only two HS signees for next season? I assume Hannah Wells stays a year later.
