FAR from a decent throw, but make a fucking play, Mary.

Ugh, that wasn’t on Mary by any means.

[shadow_operative2.0 16029]

She could have caught it. I specifically stated the throw was far from decent. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16029]

Now we'll just fuck up at every position. 

[Js1 85582]

Throw the tape away. 

[Pato del Muerto 52607]

Had their chances on offense.  The. Give them like 6 outs this inning. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16029]

Yep, sadly we've seen this movie a time or 10. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16029]

Alright, get at least one here to have a sweat in 7.

Playing a catcher at 1B got us in trouble again

She's played more 1B in club ball than catcher. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16029]

What the shit is going on here? 

[shadow_operative2.0 16029]

Awesome, so we didn't report the player that made the E. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16029]

Okay, no harm. Let's fucking scratch. 

[Pato del Muerto 52607]

Make that 7 outs this inning, with the coaches getting in on it.

She should be at DP. We have other players that can play that position. The last two series, her defense has cost us multiple times. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16029]

Our assistants kinda looked like it was one of their fault.

We need that SFA 1B

[FloridaHorn 4769]

Not sure we win a game in this series. I really felt like tonight was a must win. I don’t think we have the depth in the circle to win tomorrow Vs Haff

[FloridaHorn 4769]

What a lazy ass play by Scott.

[Pato del Muerto 52607]

I don’t think she touched the bag

[bschoolprof 6272]

Lookin 2 and Q to me.  Also fuck Arkansas.

This. Needed game 1. We’re done

[Hornsbay22 470]

Why did we not keep Simpson in?

[shadow_operative2.0 16029]

Ho lee fuk, Mia.

Limiting the looks they get on her maybe?

[shadow_operative2.0 16029]

NOW we make a decent play. 

[ztejas 43538]

Started watching B6. This has gotten away in a hurry. 

[Pato del Muerto 52607]

On replay- “they will either uphold it or change it”

White put the give up pitcher in

I get that but was still only 3 run lead.   If you dont think your team can ever score 3 runs in the last inning you have more issues than that.

[ztejas 43538]

Well this has gotten somewhat interesting. 

[Js1 85582]

Bases loaded, 1 out. Like we didn’t screw that up already 

[Pato del Muerto 52607]

They can hit this girl. They may not see her again until a game 3 but just need some better clutch hitting. 
 

and some uncharacteristically decent defense. 

[Js1 85582]

7-1 F. Trying to stay alive tomorrow

lotta game left

Hey…..we just have to win two more games….it ain’t over yet.

[bschoolprof 6272]

We don't appear to have the pitching depth or defense or clutch hitting to make it to OKC.  Maybe we'll pull one out tomorrow, but I doubt out.  Frankly, I'm shocked we made it this far with this team. Thanks Hailey!

More troublingly, I'm starting to worry that losing in the supers is our ceiling under White.

Truth. Didn’t even expect to be here. Mike needs to really develop Simpson in the off-season and find another ace in the portal. 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Well at least that settles the debate on who pitches tomorrow. Gotta roll with Dolcini the rest of the way 

[Kel Varnsen 8541]

Also might need to find some clutch hitters. 

[Cairn Horn88 8283]

Now I remember why I don’t like the pigs:

I would throw full ride money, NIL money, under the table money, you name it…I would give it all to Storodko for 1 year.

Same. Storoko and the SFA 1B fill a lot of holes 

Only other major holes are 2B/JJ's bat but you don't find talent like that often - .420+ hitter, can slap, bunt, and hit for power at the leadoff spot.  

Catcher - think we are fine with Cimusz, JJ Smith and Atwood
1B - need the transfer power hitting first baseperson from SFA (oh how I long for a Lexy Bennett at 1B) 
2B - transfer (Bloodworth?) or a good spot for Martinez or Goode to come in and compete for as freshman
SS - Washington is fine here, but one of Martinez or Goode could push her, she got better defensively but her offense is still meh
3B - Scott needs to get better defensively, but she's just a freshman.  Probably gets the leadoff spot with JJ gone
OF - Gilbert/Popelka/Dayton/Maddie P/Maloney/Whitaker, highly unlikely you find anyone better in the portal unless that LSU OF goes in

I am keeping my eye on Pleasants from LSU. If she enters the portal, she is a power hitting lefty SS and Washington can slide to 2B and compete with the freshmen. I agree about 1B, but I think Mike White may be convinced that the JJ Smith/Cimusz pairing can work there, when they aren't behind the plate. Bloodworth, from Bama, is a good player, but I'm not sure she is a huge upgrade over what we have coming. I agree on Mia Scott, she appeared brain dead at 3B and at the plate last night. I think she might have been letting her offense (or lack there of) effect her defense. 

[Js1 85582]

I bring up that SFA 1B bc we need power with Mary and Parker moving on

agree - we already lack power IMO and with Mary leaving and Whitaker going blind, we have no real sluggers.

Chance for Day to play more often and supply power?

I think Mike can get us their, he’s proven he can do a lot with lesser talent. . I think that 2020 Covid year team would have been the one if not for a canceled season. . 
 

Think we should give him some time 

[TwiceHorn 31538]

I kinda gotta believe that the UO imports, while a talent infusion, pretty much poisoned the team, and maybe even some recruiting.

I'm willing to wait a couple of years to see what he does with "homegrown" talent.

[ClubWhatever 12158]

Need some of these enormous-assed wall bangers and a couple of Dolcini clones.
