2021 Texas Softball

[perfectchaos007 6,677]

White gets called for an illegal pitch and LSU takes advantage with a 2 run jack on the next pitch. 

[Js1 85,564]

That’s not good

[shadow_operative2.0 16,021]

Rough 3-minute stretch for the two teams there. 

[perfectchaos007 6,677]

2 runs no outs turns into nothing for Texas. 2-0 LSU mid 2nd

FIFY

Yeah two on, and no outs -- poor execution of moving runners leads to missed opportunity to score at least one run in the top of the 2nd for Horns.

[perfectchaos007 6,677]

We're getting routed right now

[Pato del Muerto 52,587]

Don’t make that throw. 
 

if you do make that throw, cut it off. 
 

if you don’t cut it off, catch it clean. 
 

decision making sucks. 

[LTtxfan 49,348]

CF for Horns not throwing that ball to 3rd base was a fuckin' Little League mistake...

Dang stupid play, and horrible throw!!!

 

3-0  lsu lead, runners at 2nd and 3rd

Still only 1 out in bottom of 2nd

5-0, guess it's back to UFC. 

[perfectchaos007 6,677]

If we don't score some runs in the 3rd, we'll be in danger of being run ruled this game

[perfectchaos007 6,677]

1-2-3 we go down. 5-0 LSU mid 3rd. Like shadow_operative I'm going to watch something else

We just fell apart after game 1

When your core leader quits the team just weeks before the start of the season, it takes some time to find that new leader to step up. We're still searching for ours

And top pitcher and a solid, leading hitter.

Yep. Team will get better. Early adversity is a teaching moment. Still shocked we were ranked top 10 without Elish 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,021]

Check out these two brilliant throws. 

Of course LSU promptly answered with a solo yack anyway. 

[Js1 85,564]

7-2 L

I still don’t understand why Elish decided not to play.  It just does not make sense to me.....but, I suppose she believes she had a good reason.   Crazy.

Because she’s in love. She’s not even at UT anymore.

People in their early 20s who "throw away" their educations and careers for "love" never (always) make a huge mistake.

[Js1 85,564]

She’s happy and good for her

There’s not much of a career for post-college softball. Those NPF girls also have to coach or do full time clinics/commentating/etc. to make a living.  She, like Hathaway, decided to move on with their lives than stay another year as a super senior. 

I know she blamed it on COVID and that was an easy out for her.  I’d rather she just said she was over softball and moving on instead but she didn’t.

Sure, as far as it goes.

But how many people do you know/know of that have allowed themselves to be diverted from what is their apparent life path because of "young love"?  It doesn't seem to work out real well.  Anything is possible and happiness has millions of variations and definitions, but it's still a legitimate question.

I get that.  I'm more disturbed that she dropped out of school.  I guess she could be somewhere else.

She might be. That part was bad. She could be finishing remote

This week's schedule (aggyCorpus, BYU, Texas Southern, Tarleton St) are under .500.   BYU has played a fairly strong schedule (Az, AzSt, Wash, Utah)   Time to work on defense.

White can't throw a strike this inning. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,021]

We’re fucking around in top 7. 10-4, loaded with no outs. 

[perfectchaos007 6,677]

Good defense bails out White to get the 1st out of the inning

[shadow_operative2.0 16,021]

Hey, a decent defensive play. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,021]

Feels like MKT has been here a decade. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,021]

Sheesh, this is ugly. 

[perfectchaos007 6,677]

The tying run is on deck. wtf Horns

[Js1 85,564]

Not a very clean finish. I know White is a freshman but she’s gotta get better with the walks. 

[perfectchaos007 6,677]

tie run at the plate

[shadow_operative2.0 16,021]

Maybe go get her, bro. 

[perfectchaos007 6,677]

Adams comes in to bailout the freshman.
