2023 Texas Softball - Back to WCWS

[ClubWhatever 12,158]

This Tech team is thiiiiiccccc

[Js1 85,580]

3 run blast for Tech. Morgan is pitching like a gaping vagina. Nibbling 

[ClubWhatever 12,158]

That home run pitch was a giant marshmallow

[perfectchaos007 6,677]

Hopefully we brought our bats today. 

[perfectchaos007 6,677]

No response from Texas. 3-0 Tech after 1

[VirginiaLonghorn 4,781]

TT pitcher with a total of 7 IP this season is doin’ Sigh Jung on Texas.

Still 3-0 going after 4 … 

[ClubWhatever 12,158]

What happened to the bats.  We’ve done more against better pitching. 

[ClubWhatever 12,158]

I hate the run up style of hitting.  Glad it worked there though

[ClubWhatever 12,158]

Nice to see another team have shoddy defense 

If Whitaker is going to hit this girl she needs to get the ball down. 

[Hornsbay22 470]

If you have to pinch hit for your 3 hole hitter with the tying run on 2nd you suck at making line ups.

[ClubWhatever 12,158]

Cimusz at .288.  Yikes.

She started so hot and then cooled down so fast

Bella ain’t no 3 hole hitter

Just looked it up, she hit .244 last year.  Maybe she’s just not very good.

Texas can’t find anyone to play 1st. Brandon and KC can’t seem to separate 

[ClubWhatever 12,158]

Good pitch. Can do without the stare down

[Hornsbay22 470]

Cimunz, Washington, Atwoods inability to go with or hit an outside pitch is infuriating 

[VirginiaLonghorn 4,781]

Pop up worked out for TT.  Good trade off .. get speed off the base path for a Clydesdale.

But, 2-run HR makes it for naught.

Good job Atwood 

[Js1 85,580]

Texas takes the series with a 4-3 win 

[ClubWhatever 12,158]

Nice play by SS to end the game.

3rd basewoman

[Js1 85,580]

Couple of hits but Citlaly did not let Tech score in the first.

Tech is…not good

Scott tags up from 2nd to 3rd on a deep fly out and cut off woman threw it to the pitcher lazily, so Scott decided to score. Runner on 1st able to go to third 

[Pato del Muerto 52,604]

Where’s the error and so why not an rbi sac fly for day, and lol now. 

[Js1 85,580]

And Atwood doubles in a run and Tech kicks it around so she makes it home easily. 3-0

[Rickylovesweed 14,542]

Yikes, what an embarrassing inning for Tech.

Little league stuff. 

[Rickylovesweed 14,542]

Texas must have had a discussion about the infielders/pitchers not paying attention after outs. 

Scott looked like she had every intention of going home there from the start. 

[Js1 85,580]

KC goes yard. 5-1 Texas

[Pato del Muerto 52,604]

Nice to see a player attack first base the right way. Dayton ran through, didn’t dive, and stepped on the front edge of the bag. 

[ClubWhatever 12,158]

The first baseman for tech hits a lot of home runs but stinks in the field. 

[Js1 85,580]

Blythe has been annoying all weekend

6-2 top 6

[Js1 85,580]

6-3 since Texas decided to kick it around on that bait by the runner. 

[ClubWhatever 12,158]

The shortstop just stood there while Mia White ran 60 feet to get ball.   Didn’t back up.  Didn’t go get ball. Yank her. 

[ClubWhatever 12,158]

What’s 3 inches outside between friends?

[ClubWhatever 12,158]

Boom.  Day

[Js1 85,580]

Day gets the runs back with a 2 run yack

[Js1 85,580]

Texas sweeps Tech. 3-0 in conference and 30 wins already 

OU next weekend - Friday night in OKC and Sat/Sunday in Norman 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,029]

We’ll take that weekend, ladies. 

[Js1 85,580]

Texas creeps up to 10th in RPI

10th in D1 softball (up 4 spots)

 

Honestly if we can steal one game this weekend against OU, it would be a great weekend for us.  On the flip side, not being run-ruled 3 days in a row would also feel like a win.

Does OU still have that Polynesian nose guard who hits bombs?

No she is gone.  They only have 57 HR as a team right now, with no one having more than 8.  They don't have a dominant HR hitter like Alo this year.

They do have a team ERA of 1.00

Is that good? That seems good. 

Seriously though, how is that relative to other terrific pitching teams this year across the country?

3rd best in the country - Tennessee is 0.62 and Clemson is 0.63

Texas is 1.84, which is 16th.   The best staff we have faced thus far is Wisconsin (13th at 1.83)

You gotta feel like this is the chance for a win since their offense isn’t as potent as before

Two of the players who were supposed to provide power this year have disappointed, one relatively, one completely. Jennings hit ~ 30 homers last year and has 5 this year. She is still clutch and has a > 400 average overall, but the power isn't there. Sanders also hit about 30 homers last year, and she been just plain bad. I think more strikeouts than hits, and only 220 overall. She's sitting a lot.

That said, OU still leads the nation in team batting average (390) on base % (480), slugging (715), and runs per game (9). But last year they were scoring 10 a game.

Jayda Coleman is putting together a player of the year case with a 500 batting average, 640 on base, 8 HR, 12/12 stolen bases, and outstanding defense.

[Pato del Muerto 52,604]

We’re those two hitting in front of alo last year?

Sanders is the ASU transfer. We really wanted her

I think it went Coleman,  SOMEONE ,Alo, Jennings last year, but I could be wrong.
