It’s good for the sport.  Theyve built an Omaha thing there.  Petty rivalries notwithstanding. 

Yeah but Omaha doesn't have baseball powers right next door. They have Nebraska-Omaha and Creighton. That is not comparable at all.

This is like Miami being able to play for the national title in the Orange Bowl every year back in 1980s.

#3 pitcher throws a CG, 4-hit SO in the national semifinals against the second best team in the WCWS.  Hard to deny that was going to be a moment Czech will never forget

When they set this up a lot fewer people gave a shit about softball or who had an advantage .  It was more important to leverage the advantages of having it in OkC.  Now more people care but the train has left the station.

I can't blame White if it's Czech. 

It may fail spectacularly but she's thrown 10 shutout innings at the WCWS.

OKC getting their money's worth today. 4 games for the price of 2!

Well, really 2.5 or maybe even 2.25 at this point (UCLA cornholing not a full game, literally or figuratively).

Let's make it 3.5, though.

Fair enough.

It was all Pac 12 for so long too. 

[Rickylovesweed 15640]

It is Czech. 

[Js1 87384]

This is a gambler move by Mike 

[D3zii 3959]

She’ll most likely have a short leash if things get cloudy!!! 

[dcar00 15052]

my guess is OSU coach wanted to try to save Maxwell to go 2 in a row against OU.

[bschoolprof 6353]

LFG ladies.  We got nothing to lose, so let's play loose and bring it.

Is it? 

She's thrown 10 innings of scoreless softball at the WCWS. It may not work out but White is just rolling with the hot hand. Much like he did with Dolcini early in the postseason. 

[TwiceHorn 32158]

What's the theory behind the SP being permitted to come back in, but not RP?

What is the thinking here? Are we saving somebody for OU? Because that seems insane.

It is. They just saw her and they’ll make adjustments. She has to remain as sharp as she was 

[perfectchaos007 6791]

Ride the hot hand theory. Like others have said. Very short leash. If 2 runners get on base in an inning, she's probably pulled

Girls can throw a shit ton compared to guys.  Her being tired or worn out is not nearly the consideration it would be in baseball.

They've been all over Dolcini and Estelle is rolling. Fuck it, see what happens

There’s a day off tomorrow. Gotta be he liked the lefty matchup and thinks she’s fresh enough to go 3-4 innings

Yup, short leash. 

[bschoolprof 6353]

maybe this ump will have a decent zone.  

[Rickylovesweed 15640]

Shit Maxwell is so good. 

[bschoolprof 6353]

jeez great pitch. 

[TexasIsBetter 275]

Welp, here we go 

[Js1 87384]

Texas down in order

Would you have made this post if ou and osu weren’t this good? 

Would you complain about Omaha if Nebraska all of a sudden gets badass at baseball for a few years in a row?

[Rickylovesweed 15640]

Two pitches right down the middle. Come on ump. 

[Pato del Muerto 53642]

Fix is in if the zone stays like that for her

[bschoolprof 6353]

ehh, not feeling it.

[dcar00 15052]

first one was probably high.  second was not.

[Redneck Mutha 8336]

Maybe.

Probably.

[Rickylovesweed 15640]

There's our bad defense. 

[Js1 87384]

That’s not good

[Valmy77 13629]

Safe? Fuck.

[ClubWhatever 12361]

So stupid.  Get the out. 

[Js1 87384]

Jesus Christ. Our defense is going to lose this for us. Soooo slow

[bschoolprof 6353]

we're bed shitting

[Rickylovesweed 15640]

Bad defense has been what kills us and probably no different here. 

[TwiceHorn 32158]

Ruh roh.

[perfectchaos007 6791]

Washington wtf girl

[Mo Horn 8973]

Well this is not starting off well
