Texas Softball 2024 - Farewell to the Big 12 (and back to OKC?)

[Gut Wagon 8065]

She was safe. But good grief...if we lose this clown show, I won't be saying that bad call beat us. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15959]

Well, don't dive. 

[The_Great_Hornsby 3236]

Sellout? Half the seats are empty lol

[shadow_operative2.0 15959]

Welp, go baseball. 

[WBT 20561]

well shit

[The_Great_Hornsby 3236]

Hope they learned a lesson tonight. Kavan is our #1. And dont throw the fucking ball around like clowns and get a million errors. 

[HuntinHorn 975]

Disappointing as hell....  Good bye #1...

[torre 1285]

Good job,  Nadia !     UH had Citaly and staff well scouted.   Never were fooled.   Was some of it lack of execution,  sure,  but UH's approach was outstanding.

 

[Gut Wagon 8065]

The Czech collapse was painful, especially with the game seemingly under control and UH having such a shallow pitching staff. But Estelle had lots of help turning this one into an L. We really need to move Goode off 1B. 

[bschoolprof 6252]

10 runs should be enough to win the game for you, so this is on pitching and defense. I was not surprised by defensive miscues, but i was surprised at the pitching meltdown.  I don't know what was up with Gutierrez. Let's see how we bounce back.

At the plate, leaving Stewie on the bench in favor of Goode (who has only 2 hits this year against decent teams) was boneheaded, particularly since Goode is not good at 1st (no one is apparently).  In that little league park, you want all the power bats in the lineup you can get.

4 runs is all they get tonight. Calling it

Nice job.

[D3zii 3678]

Damn our pitching has been solid. Didn’t see this one coming .

Stewart wasn't an option as she is out this weekend. Not sure of the reason, but she didn't travel with the team.

[FloridaHorn 4754]

That was a lazy coaching effort by White, and a lazy effort by the team.

ok - that makes more sense.  Hope she gets back soon.

I wonder if we see Cimusz at first instead today

She doesn't seem as prone to swing at bad pitches as Goode and a walk is a lot better than a SO.

 

But when the team gives up 6 ER and loses 12-10 you sure can't blame the offense.

Nope, but some of those missed catches At 1B may have been completed by Cimusz or Stewie and then that big inning for UH doesn’t happen 

[torre 1285]

56 degrees at game time,  advancing to 64 by 2PM.     NNW winds blowing in at 17-18mph.

[Js1 85306]

TK gets the circle. Cimusz gets 1B over Goode 

[HuntinHorn 975]

Aight ladies! Let’s kick some Cougar ass today and show them it was a fluke!

[Js1 85306]

Texas scored first on a Henry double, stolen base and error 

[HuntinHorn 975]

2-0 good girls

Sorry 5-0 with a jack by Washington

I feel like Cimusz has been a little overlooked in her time here.  She's a good defender and a solid hitter.  

[Pato del Muerto 52489]

Just pulled it up and it’s 5-0 and a new pitcher 

[Js1 85306]

Much much better start 

[bschoolprof 6252]

This tiny ballpark is joke in my opinion.

She’s never found a positional home. She’s caught, played RF and 1B. I like her at 1B but then that knocks Stewie to DP, which means you need to get Mitchell in at 3B but then Scott has to go somewhere. So OF in place of Maloney?

You know our hitters are a little jealous of the height of the walls. We’d have some OU power numbers if our walls were little lower 

[HuntinHorn 975]

I like their aggressiveness on the bases today !

Plus it’s like 185 to left center.

I’d like to see her get more looks there. I love Ashton, especially in the field, but hate slapping, especially straight slapping. 
 

on another note, it looks like Kavan brought her A game today. 

[Pato del Muerto 52489]

Tight zone for both teams in the first. Tough on pitchers to make good pitches in a little park with a narrow zone.

TK is struggling with this zone 

[Js1 85306]

My god we keep beating ourselves with free passes

Welp. 

[HuntinHorn 975]

Here we go again...

And 23 is our damn kryptonite.  She has shut us down

[Pato del Muerto 52489]

I don’t think she likes the feel of the ball today. Is it the ball condition, or is it just her today?  Pitching in cool weather shouldn’t be a bother. 

[Js1 85306]

This zone is so tight. She’s barely missing her spots 

[Pato del Muerto 52489]

5-3 dp helps

[perfectchaos007 6628]

Texas needs to get the offense going again. We know what UH can do

[HuntinHorn 975]

Nice defense by Mia Scott on the DP..  Got us out of that jam.   5-2

Yep. We can’t go into a shell because we are up 5-0. Mike is still instilling a killer instinct 

[Js1 85306]

Henry got both runs back on a 2 run dinger 

[HuntinHorn 975]

Hell yes Henry! 

[shadow_operative2.0 15959]

Another Alyssa yack, 9-2 in top 7. 

[ClubWhatever 12128]

So Houston is not, in fact, the 27 Yankees?

[Pato del Muerto 52489]

No, and Texas is not in fact the ‘73 orioles.

Yesterday was just a weird game. This team could stand to be humbled a few times 

[Js1 85306]

Texas recovers after yesterday’s fiasco, wins 9-2 behind TK’s solid outing 

Win the series tomorrow
