The Longhorns signing class was ranked No. 7 in the nation as part of Extra Inning Softball's 2021 Top 100 College Rankings with five players listed among Extra Inning Softball's Extra Elite 100 player rankings (all six were in the top 200): No. 4 (Simpson), No. 7 (Scott & Maloney – tie), No. 12 (Cimusz) and No. 24 (Holmes). Flo Softball also had Scott (21), Holmes (22-tie) and Cimusz (39) rated among its most recent Hot 100 Rankings, while Softball America listed Simpson (No. 9), Cimusz (No. 28), Holmes (No. 46), Scott (No. 57) and Maloney (No. 64) among its Top 100 players listing.

And that was only good for 7th?

Baseball is at 2 as well so this will be tape delay 

[Machinator 32099]

 

[Js1 85636]

Man, 4 of those have to go....

RPI of the 20 host sites:

Alabama 2
Arizona 12
ASU 13
Arkansas 6
Clemson 17
Florida 3
FSU 5
Georgia 15
Kentucky 20
LSU 4
Michigan 24 
Missouri 16 
Oklahoma 7
Oklahoma State 8
Oregon 14
Tennessee 10
Texas 11
UCLA 1
Virginia Tech 23 
Washington 9

My guesses:

• Clemson, Kentucky, Michigan and Virginia Tech will be the 4 host sites eliminated
• The 8 super hosts (super regional host sites*) will be UCLA, Alabama, Florida, Washington, FSU, Arkansas, OU, Texas/OSU winner.  

Just like for the baseball postseason, if any of the 8 super hosts are eliminated in regionals, the supers will NOT revert to remaining higher seed's campus.  It will continue to play at the super host site.

Delayed and shit 

[Js1 85636]

3:30 start 

[shadow_operative2.0 16040]

Down 2-0 in bot 2.

[Js1 85636]

Texas got runners to 2nd and 3rd but Rhodes struck out. Still down 0-2 to the fourth 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Still can’t score runs but at least we broke up the no hitter!

[Js1 85636]

Iakopo solo HR. 2-1

[Js1 85636]

Phew Texas escapes first and third, no outs. CS, pop up, ground out

[Js1 85636]

Texas can’t do shit with runners on. 

3-1 OSU, top 6 

[Js1 85636]

Really pathetic showing. 3-1 loss. Blew multiple chances with runners on. This offense might be a bit overrated against better pitching 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Well that sucked

[torre 1286]

Listened to audio.   Check tape delay,  but in 1st inn w/2 outs,  ball hit to K Washington in CF which announcer indicated was catchable resulting in double and opened scoring.

MW opted to bring Rhodes in to play 3B.   Not sure K Washington has played CF ever,  at least this year.   We know the issues she had earlier in LF.    Not a fan of this musical chair defense when you are last in the league.

OkSt had 3 DP's to counter our 7 singles and 1 HR.    As mentioned above,  could not get the key hit.

Is A. Washingotn injured ?

 

Edit:  Just saw replay.   Tough play,  would have required remarkable catch by K  Wash.    Rhodes may have been able to get a better jump considering she has been regular CF.    But definitely not as described on radio.

Day over Jacobsen. Interesting. 

Texas really killed themselves yesterday - the strikeouts with runners on, double plays and Burke not touching first base. Wtf

Was dinged up during KU. Making the start at 3B today 

[Js1 85636]

Texas down 1-0 after a WP scores a run. Day has awful body language, falling behind every batter. Throwing shit in the dirt. Too many walks.

[Js1 85636]

And Ellsworth ties it up to open the 3rd with a solo HR to CF

[ClubWhatever 12159]

Our SS sucks. 

[Pato del Muerto 52640]

Have to go get that on the high hop if you want to be able to throw her out. 

[Js1 85636]

Idk why Day is still in this game. 4th opens with an error and a double. Already runners on 2/3 with no outs 

[orangeut 212]

Welp, this game is over

[Pato del Muerto 52640]

Probably the most important series of the season for post season positioning and its day getting the bulk of the innings?  And now white?

[Js1 85636]

Yep. Mike White has a lot of work to do with this pitching staff.  Huge disappointment 

[orangeut 212]

Okie State about to break it open

[TwiceHorn 31624]

Uncanny how much difference just one player makes.  Maybe not so much with softball and the fact that that one player is a pitcher.

[perfectchaos007 6677]

I just hope Elish is happy and staying safe from Covid19

[orangeut 212]

whew that was lucky.  

[dcar00 14382]

I realize OU and OSU are good but this team will do well to get out of a regional I think.  no way they make CWS.  White has a lot of work to do.

Agree with this.  We’ve got OU and TransferU schooling our young squad

[ClubWhatever 12159]

OSU shortstop shows us how the position is played.  

[orangeut 212]

Pathetic 

[Js1 85636]

Same things that plagued us yesterday and in the OU series. Cannot advance or score runners. 

Looks like both our diamond sports are a mirage who beat up bad teams and then look average against the better conference opponents

Hope she keeps up with this team.

I'm not so sure we win that Baylor series now...

It’s not a mirage ..

[perfectchaos007 6677]

With this win by OKST they have clinched at worst a 2nd seed in the Big 12 tournament

We will get a regional. I hope we are seeded 10-12 bc I feel like we’d have a punchers chance with 5-6-7. It’s the top 4 we are super outclassed. 

[Kel Varnsen 8543]

Beginning to wonder if Mike is what we expected

I think he is the guy. He also needs to step up his transfer recruiting game. Selling Austin to women is not difficult. Beard is raising that floor for the entire AD.

[Poolflood 845]

One great pitcher will take an ok team and destroy everybody.  We have solid pitching and Day is still young.

Got to see an LSU commit two nights in a row just destroy my daughter's team.

We need that great pitcher.

[Js1 85636]

Molly gets game 3 start 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

OKST already on the board in the first inning.

[Js1 85636]

And she gave up a 2 out, 2 strike RBI double. Hitting with runners on, how does that work?
