2023 Texas Softball - Back to WCWS

[dcar00 14365]

what the fuck was that call.  that ball was a foot outside

 

[dcar00 14365]

that was all because of that first called strike. white was pissed.  one of those middle school umps, "oh look it curved a lot it must be a strike."

[Pato del Muerto 52600]

Anyone see what Dayton was doing on her hit that she didn’t take 2nd on the throw home?  I didn’t notice a potential cutoff live, and she would have scored on day’s hit.

the first baseman was at the mound, could have cut it and the throw was pretty good(not high).   I would have sent the runner because there was no way they weren't going to let that throw go.  worst case the run scores anyway.

It originally looked like the throw was going to be cutoff, but the throw was allowed to go to the plate...guess she thought it was gonna be cutoff and stayed at first...I could be wrong.

[Cairn Horn88 8283]

Something better change pdq.  Pitcher has us guessing.

[kingkoopa6 8377]

Bella a beast 

[shadow_operative2.0 16028]

That was probably our last chance. 

[dcar00 14365]

nice AB there...

[kingkoopa6 8377]

Damn 

[DigDug 1672]

They been watching the baseball team

[Pato del Muerto 52600]

Didn’t even think about swinging one time in 4 pitches. 

[dcar00 14365]

this ump sucks ass.  that first pitch from Morgan was same spot as the pitches from Tenn last inning.

[dcar00 14365]

I don't care what we have on the staff currently, we have to keep trying to upgrade our pitching.  If players transfer, they transfer.

[shadow_operative2.0 16028]

We’re actually pretty lucky this is only 5-1. 

[kingkoopa6 8377]

Noice!!!! 

Sick triple Martinez !

[kingkoopa6 8377]

Let’s gooooo

Double baby!

[kingkoopa6 8377]

Come on baby!!!!

[DigDug 1672]

I was shocked she didn't strike out.

[shadow_operative2.0 16028]

We have a sweat. 

[kingkoopa6 8377]

Damn 

[shadow_operative2.0 16028]

And shit. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16028]

Way to pay attention, announcers. 

[DigDug 1672]

damn, great catch in center

We ain’t getting any breaks today….but, was a great catch…after getting her ass thrown out by trying a back door steal.

[D3zii 3722]

We left 8 on, I like our chances tomorrow defensively we have to tighten up!!! 

[kingkoopa6 8377]

Damn 

[Cairn Horn88 8283]

This is exactly where we were last year at Arky….we can do this.

Mac pitched a very competitive game,  albeit for 1 pitch.    Hindsight always 20/20,  1B open, elected to pitch to Puni who has 4HRs in last 3 games.   However,  next batter (Gibson) has more HR's for the season than Puni.   Tough call for MW.  

We can beat this team.   Need more discipline on cutoff throws.   Tenn very aggressive on basepath.

[Pato del Muerto 52600]

Yep one batter doing something with one pitch with 2 runners on was the difference. Very similar otherwise.  Hope they can reverse that tomorrow. 

[Js1 85574]

Yeah we had chances. We weren’t dominated. Just one game at a time 

[bschoolprof 6272]

I'm gonna play debbie downer and say that even if we pitch better and hit our cuts and whatnot, I don't think we have the bats to hang with this team.  We need a lot more pop.  

[Cairn Horn88 8283]

OSU about to punch their ticket to OKC…leading Oregon 7-0 B5.

It's hard not to be bitter about their easier path (right down the road) to OKC.  We're the better team.  We fucked ourselves at the end of the season though.  I just feel like they are living on rep from past seasons' success.

In any event, OU seems about three standard deviations better than anyone else this year, so the whole OKC thing feels a little pointless.  

[ClubWhatever 12158]

OU sucks. 

[Cairn Horn88 8283]

OSU with perfect game thru 6 1/3..,,never mind…Oregon just got a hit.

[Cairn Horn88 8283]

Okie Lite girls on their way to WCWS.  Total domination.

RPI is still a total crock of BS.

Is it a given that all softball pitchers look like listeater?

[Cairn Horn88 8283]

Bama loses first game to Northwestern.

mass is gas

[Js1 85574]

Duke on the verge of being swept. At home. 

[Cairn Horn88 8283]

Stanford defeats Duke two straight….headed to WCWS.  They did not look that impressive, but….they are going.

 

[WBT 20669]

Clemson goes up 5-4 on OU on a 2-run homer in the 5th.  Let's see if I jinx it again.

[Cairn Horn88 8283]

Clemson up 5-4 over ou sucks.   Hanging in tough!

Ou was up 4-0 before 2 Clemson HRs.

[Js1 85574]

Citlaly gets the start and some lineup shuffle. Dayton leads off, Goode knocked down to 5th

[crum 525]

masterclass on how to not start, probably

[Js1 85574]

1-0 Tenn. Malloy has been a huge problem 

[Js1 85574]

Oof. 3 strikeouts for us
