  1. Trina comes across very well in recruiting. Once on campus her locker room turns into a version of mean girls, which she encourages. She is a dad coach and a worse human being.
  2. Walton is an egomaniac who makes it all about him. Outside of dumb base running, white is a better coach
  3. Rothrock is a good pitcher, but she is not a lock down ace. Canada and sometimes Pickens are the only aces in OK . TK is as good or better than all the rest. If our offense shows up we can definitely make a run.
  4. I’m gonna need you to show your work if you want full credit.
  5. It forced people to play small ball and slappers were more prominent in those days. Used to be “get em on, get em over, get em in” Now every coaches like Earl Weaver and waits for the 3 run HR.
  6. Softball is no different than baseball. As recently as 10 years ago low 90’s was a good fastball. Now every team has at least one guy who can touch 100. Imagine facing Michelle Smith or Monica Abbott from 40 feet, when they were touching 73 MPH. They don’t need to love the mound back, they need to move the fences back to 230’ minimum. That will stop the half swing HR that have become so common.
  7. If we win game 1, our second round will be a tough one. We either see our Kryptonite in OU or we get Pickens who made us look like a 12U rec team earlier this year. Is it wrong to hope for a tornado that scoops up both of those teams?
  8. With our pitching, we need things to fall our way. Going through a 7 inning 1-0 game vs Tech is the kind of stress TK don’t need right now. I believe Rothrock is gettable and we have shown we can shut down the Glorida bats.
  9. Trailerhasse over Gainesville is a choice I guess.
  10. Danielle Lawry had a similar run for Washington. She threw every pitch of every game for them.
  11. That’s the same thing a condom signifies for me. What a coincidence
  12. My daughter was a 4 time all conference catcher at the D1 level. We worked on framing with tennis or wiffle balls with no glove. Good framing is done with small hand or wrist movement. There is no need to slide the glove 6-8” every time. Only frame the close pitches and set up with your mitt in the center of your body. If the pitcher can hit the target and the catcher is quiet with subtle movement you will get more strikes
  13. Give me Nebraska UCLA Florida Arkansas
  14. Reese is not helpful when the ump has a small zone. She moves entirely too much when framing pitches. Small subtle movement and mitt position makes a huge difference
  15. Just when I thought Mac Morgan was done, she goes and does that and TOTALLY redeems herself.
  16. This WCWS has a chance to be an Oklahoma reunion. Gasso, Lombardi, Bahl, Erickson….
  17. That’s a lot of paint.
  18. And we will see Pickens vs Bahl for the 3rd consecutive game. I’m cheering for corn simply because I want to see Bahl vs the OU lineup
  19. I don’t get it either, but the lady Vols have always had baby blue in their unis
  20. OU softball 2036 - Sick of being First place
  21. For sure they are all available and we may, in fact, use them all. I am just over Mac Morgan this season. I do think she can be used for a short stint, providing the umpire is calling a low zone.
  22. If Mike starts Mac, we may not see TK until next season. Mac’s role on this team should be to walk around in front of home plate before the game so the dirt is nice and packed up for our slappers.
  23. Agreed, she is a great athlete. True 5 tool player in the circle. 1. shut down ace 2. fields her position 3 runs well 4. hits for avg 5. hits for power a true throwback. No one else like her in the game today
  24. That’s what you do with an Ace in softball. Kavan is really good, but she is a notch below Canady and Bahl
