  1. If I'm a hitter I transfer after watching her continue to get AB's.
  2. Hunter doesn't run. it is ridiculous. get her out.
  3. that is a horseshit call on Mitchell. Atwood has to try to drive it up the middle. it will go out if she does.
  4. that's twice for atwood.
  5. uh Holly Nija isn't throwing flames...
  6. agree. she was a bit in no mans land. had she moved her hips toward second while catching it she probably gets her at 2B. but she got the sure out. The only reason they are hyper focused is they thing one run means Tech win.
  7. what a great athlete!..
  8. white just doesn't seem to care. this is nuts.
  9. christ really? she slowed before the bag. can you please put Katie C in?
  10. Mike needs to be ready to get on the ump if Canady gets the high strike.
  11. Canady is not looking up on purpose.
  12. I would have started Kavan, pulled for Mac, and put Kavan in if need
  13. Mike better not wait. this is not good.
  14. damn she was on that.
  15. here's to getting a low zone tonight.
  16. 2 runs in the first for us would be very nice tonight.
  17. maybe there are others but softball is a really unique animal. CTJ mentioned about overpaying for a dude in basketball being a tale as old as time. Even one guy in basketball will have a tough time taking a team to an NC(see Cooper Flagg, Shaq, and a myriad of others). in softball one pitcher can throw 3 games in a row on consecutive days and possibly win every game. now there are fewer than 5 pitchers in college ball that can probably do that this year. there is a fatigue factor but there is basically no pitch limit. I can't think of another team sport where one player could change you from a middling top 30 team to a championship in one year Tech went all in because women's softball is probably 5th now in the hierarchy of college sports on TV nationally? (I'm not counting regional stuff like hockey and lacrosse). what else are they going to do? they will pay for basketball some(see Toppin)but do you think they will really open up for football and baseball given their history? It's fairly cheap way to get eyeballs on Tech on ESPN in primetime.
  18. Tech wanted to jump right into the CWS and Canady, with a few girls that can hit, was basically a guarantee to that. For Top 8 programs it was a marginal benefit and might not pay off(one or 2 bad days of hitting and your investment is down the drain). Tech can try to leverage this "success" to a future in the top 8, the upside for Tech was more than just an NC. whether Canady stays at Tech or not next year, it is going to be interesting to see what happens when she is no longer around for Tech or whoever. I agree that Tech just put the number so big that everyone said "I'm out". It was basically Pickens and Canady near or sub 1.00 ERA and then most everyone else about 1.50+ ERA, including Bahl. basically OU and Texas made final 4 with around 2.00 or higher ERA's. get a coach that can focus on hitting and fielding excellence and you don't have to pay the premium for 1.50 or below ERA's and also don't have to deal with a higher potential for locker room drama(this isn't a girls sport comment, this applies everywhere when you are dealing with 18-22 year olds).
  19. we did get one in football last year but didn't close the deal.
  20. interesting, so she's taking a medical which leaves her still with another redshirt I guess. I'm not sure the logic but I assume she can't practice if she takes a medical and it would be tough throwing her in after not see game action for a long time? I suppose if she gets hurt again she could take her normal redshirt?
  21. Texas always has to do it the hard way to win a title. it's just the way it is.
