Thanks for posting !

Great interview.   Lots of insight,  no coachspeak.

 

[Js1 85,334]

4-0 Texas b2

Ellsworth Single + error scored a run

LB bunt RBI single

Jefferson 2 RBI single 

[VirginiaLonghorn 4,771]

Missed the opening. Assume Beard threw out the first pitch?

[shadow_operative2.0 15,981]

5-0 after 6, I like our chances. 

[Js1 85,334]

Texas wins 5-0

W is always good and the outcome seemed never in doubt .. but, it was a bit sluggish?

Some would agree.

O'Leary solid,  (3H, 7K's, 2BB, 0 runs)  4 runs in the second on 4 singles,  and 2 walks,  7 total hits, Parker and Rhodes with errors (beginning to think we miss Chelsea Spencer,  need to send Tulo over from the Disch)

Tech pitcher walked 6 in key situations.

Tech is last in B12 in hitting and next to last in pitching.

Maybe Tulo could help; but, Steve Singleton was a ML IF, too.  Maybe moving people around for the sake of getting everyone playing time in so many run-shortened games is hurting the defense?  Bludgeon first ...

Good point !   Should see a more consistent lineup with the start of conference play.   Though MW likes to rotate 1B/OF for offense.

Currently .953 fielding avg.   Yikes !

5 minutes on LHN. 

[Iguana 229]

3-1 Horns after 1 inning

Tech homered

Grand Slam Whittaker!

[shadow_operative2.0 15,981]

That was a very soft swing too for a ball to go that far. 

[ClubWhatever 12,143]

Jordyn Whittaker just hit a check swing grand slam.  That’s right.

For anyone that needs proof.

Shit, now they have proof twice!

[shadow_operative2.0 15,981]

I don’t think Tech likes us much this week. 

[Pato del Muerto 52,498]

Is it over?  Just turned it on and I’ve got Lowell talking to Lance Blanks about Chris beard.

Audio for UTA game.   Disable adblock,  was sched for video,  perhaps technical difficulties  ?

And thanks for the updates !

Cancellation of the Texas Classic (Ala, Az, Colo St) and other national tournaments has hurt the RPI (#25) and ISR (#20).    Not sure if Boyd's and the NCAA are the bible on the rankings,  but likely close.    May be difficult to host a SR and possibly a Regional.   Need to do some damage in conference play.

Softball appears at this time to have a normal Regional setup.   Selection Sunday is 16 May,  Regionals begin 21 May.

ISU up for this weekend 3 games series

ISU: 23-11 (0-6 Big 12)

• Notable wins: Ole Miss x2, #21 Mizzou
• Bad losses: FAU, Missouri State, Wichita State

They got shit blasted by OU 7-9, 2-10 (6) and 2-22 (5).  Then much more competitive but still swept by OK State 1-3, 1-4, 1-2 (8).  

Offense: .306, 41 HR in 34 games, 53 doubles, 3 triples, 190K to 110 walks, 56-67 SB
Pitching: 3.70 ERA, 118/139 runs earned, 112 walks to 132 strikeouts, 21 HR allowed
Fielding: .972

Looks a lot like the Tech series, so Texas should sweep.  Couple of 4-1 or 5-0 games and maybe one blowout in 5 innings. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15,981]

Bit of a different look. 

[Js1 85,334]

ISU leads 2-0 early
