  1. I saw you calling us out on the Baseball thread 😂
  2. Pacific time zone this year... Was central last year. But I do tend to watch most of the regular season games or at least keep up through this thread if I can't. I also rather enjoy posting Instagram links from everyone's favorite reserve pitcher, i.e. the only one that didn't pitch last night
  3. A lot of people are harping on this, but I think this is an over exaggeration. Some of the greatest pitchers of all time don't have a national championship including Cat, including Abbott (NCAA career leader in Wins, Strikeouts, Shutouts, Single season strikeouts, etc). Canady is a once in a decade type of pitcher. Looking at career ERAs, the top 14 are all from the 80s, then it's 1 from the early 90s, then it's Cat, then it's a mixture of 80s, 90s, early 2000s until you get to Canady's current career ERA of 0.79. Canady has the lowest career ERA and only sub 1.0 career ERA since 2010, at least from what I could see on Wikipedia. If a once in a decade type of player shows up in any sport, they're are going to give any team they are on a shot at winning titles.
  4. The shoulder rotation motion is much more natural than the elbow hyperextension that occurs in baseball (the shoulder is designed to be able to rotate like the after all. Elbow isn't designed to hyperextend). So there is certainly less arm fatigue in softball compared to baseball and less injury risk with increasing pitch counts. Legs with the leg drive will get fatigued faster than arms. Someone above mentioned wrist/hand fatigue because that's what generates the spin rate. So you likely won't see a huge drop in velocity, but could potentially see less movement and less pinpoint control.
  5. LOL find one person who has said he coached this game well. That's not the argument. You keep saying he needs to be FIRED if we lose. If you fire him, this program gets worse, guaranteed. There's only one coach in the country that I would confidently say is better than him.
  6. Give me a name? #1 team entering post season: A&M, coach choked it away in the regionals lol #2 team OU, only sure thing. #3 team, Florida, coach didn't pitch his ace in the elimination game and they lost in the quarterfinals #4 Arkansas lost to unseeded Ole Miss at home #5 Florida State swept by Tech at home #6 Texas So on and so forth. Which of those coaches are you taking?
  7. Ok dude, like I agree that his decisions tonight were terrible, but you need to step off of the firing ledge or just go ahead and jump, because he's coaching here. This is a program which has been mostly solid with a few sprinkles of elite, but had never gotten to the final series. He's gotten us there 3 out of the last 4 years. You fire him, who do you go get? The only likely guarantee to win a national championship is the coach sitting up at OU. No other coach has done a better job than Mike White over the last 4 years.
  8. That changeup is so ridiculous
  9. Salmon? Interesting....
  10. Mac is a drop ball pitcher. Very different from Kavan. I'm sure the thought is get Tech batters off rhythm and get them swinging low and then being in Kavan with the rise and the heat. Mac can also hit 70 on those drop balls, which is extraordinary difficult to hit if she's getting the low strike call. I probably would've started Kavan, but I see the reasoning. She shut down a good Tennessee offense just last week.
  11. Double play time. Just like we are drawing it up
  12. Down the line camera angle was conclusive, wish we had that angle yesterday.
  13. I resemble that remark.
  14. Sorry if already posted, but SEC Now postgame said that Canady has only intentionally walked a batter twice in her entire career.
  15. The steal wasn't on ball 4, it was on ball 2 I think.
  16. The thing you're discounting is... There's not very many teams in the country that are above average hitters against TK. Maybe just OU, but TK shut them down in the world series. OU #2 in team home runs, Florida #4...TK with ZERO earned runs in the WCWS.
  17. Something that is underrated right now. Mike's call to have the runner steal second during the intentional walk. It would've been easy to just leave her at first...Reese is being walked anyway, what's the difference? But the fact that she stole second during the intentional walk means that she was able to score the go ahead run on Reese's "fuck your intentional walk" swing.
  18. LET'S FUCKING GO!!!! FUCK YOUR OBSTRUCTION CALL!!!!
  19. Apparently runner would be out if batter interfered on the throw (regardless of the umpire interference)
  20. Call it. Call it. Call obstruction by the batter!
  21. Oh come on defense, can we please close this out without exploding my blood pressure?
