  1. If Rothrock can get through a couple of innings unscathed, all the pressure will be on OU. is was a rise ball up and in. Ericksen is a great inside hitter, I don't think Maxwell meant to catch that much of the plate with that one.
  2. I10/I12 through Baton Rouge is like driving through a ranch in Hico, Texas at 70 MPH.
  3. I also heard last night that Canady's brother plays football at Cal, so apparently the family is serious about their kids academics. That's the 1st base person. The catcher ran herself out of the play on the throw to 3rd.
  4. The funnier moment was when Boone was on 1st celebrating, not realizing her ball was caught by the Florida CF. I hope OU wins and then I hope we beat their clown asses in two straight to end the streak.
  5. Small ball used to be the name of the game. Now, everyone wants to hit HRs...The greatest coach to ever live, Mike Candrea, once famously said "Get em' on, Get em' over, and Get em' in." That stategy still works when you have speed like Texas, especially when facing an elite pitcher. It makes the pitcher move and field the position, it puts pressure on the defense, and it only takes one misplay to score a few runs. I would like to see Maloney, Bella, Henry and occasionally Scott play this way. Scott less so, because she also has great gap to gap power. The bunt that scored Washington appeared to me to be a safety squeeze, where Washington is supposed to read the play before running. She broke for home instantly, and almost got picked off. Luckily for the Horns, Stanford played that pickle situation totally wrong. From little league on you are taught to force the runner back to the previous base. They decided to chase her all the way home.
  6. Texas played lazy and uninspired for most of that series with the ags. Ford and her team did not display that potent of an offense all year....take away Cannon's incredible run at the plate and a fluke dinger from Grimace, and we win convincingly. If Texas and the ags played 10 games, I would be shocked if the Horns didn't win 7-8 of them. Texas and OU are the two best teams in the country, and I don't think it is that close. Both can be beat if they play lazy and uninspired, or if the pitching has a off day, but they are by far the best two teams.
  7. I hear they are also interested in Singleton…..I don’t want to lose him yet either.
  8. Florida has a good offense, but they aren’t on par with OU with depth, power or experience. Gasso inexplicably sat Maxwell today and her team paid for it, and now they are in must win mode. Anything can happen, but if Florida wins it doesn’t mean they are more talented than OU. also, Canady is good, but she is not the most dominant pitcher since Cat. There is one like her almost every year. Barnhill, Bahl, Fouts, Trayna, Ricketts, etc. All of them were dominant.
  9. I would agree with you, but then we’d both be wrong.
  10. It was a safety squeeze and Washington almost fucked it up
  11. If we were playing Jeopardy, I’d like Stanfords chances, but this is softball and we ain’t losing tonight
  12. This game has a sudden death, 1st one to score wins, feel to it.
