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

[Js1 85,746]

Reese ain’t hitting HRs but she’s still pouring in RBIs

2-0 Texas

SAC bunting Mitchell in the FIRST?  WTF is that?

Sometimes you just work on things?

Quality reference there.

The Hargroves were family friends from my mom's hometown. (Csb, yeah)

I liked him as a player and thought he did a credible job managing a not so talented O’s team 20 years ago.

Funny, I never really noticed his between pitch routine until one day it became fashionable to speed up the game and he became the poster boy.

If that’s the case … in the first inning … then Mike should work on some things, too.

While he was playing, he was nicknamed "The Human Rain Delay".

Bear down TK

[perfectchaos007 6,713]

Tie game

[perfectchaos007 6,713]

Little bit of a freshman slump for TK lately

[Gut Wagon 8,105]

Hard to beat our D sometimes. Hard for us to beat it, I mean.

Washington hits a ball off the wall to dead center and only gets a single. I thought she was a faster runner than that

Probably got into her HR trot a tad early …

That gets most baseball players benched the rest of the game 

[Gut Wagon 8,105]

Now that it's afternoon, can we all please wake up and play? Don't let this bunch hang around. 

[Js1 85,746]

Here we go again 

[VirginiaLonghorn 4,808]

There’s some incredibly lackadaisical play happening today … and that’s on the coach.

[perfectchaos007 6,713]

Mac comes in and limits the damage, but BYU leads 3-2

We're pretty young, but that doesn't totally excuse following up run-rule victories with lethargic outings. Leaders need to lead.

Like the team captain apparently trotting to first?

[shadow_operative2.0 16,059]

And tied. 

[Js1 85,746]

Reese has all our runs battled in today

Personally, I think they need to settle on a lineup or at least minimize the combinations.  It’s like Mike’s trying to guarantee playing time for everyone.  This ain’t LL …

I agree. By conference play, the lineup shouldn’t change except for injuries or major slumps 

[Js1 85,746]

Mormon pitcher can’t throw strikes now 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,059]

And winning.

And the BYU catcher is annoying as fuck, constantly jerking her glove back into the zone to try to frame pitches.

Their returned generosity is much appreciated.

Atwood now 10th on the single season RBI list

[shadow_operative2.0 16,059]

Leadoff hustle double for Henry. 

[Js1 85,746]

That looks safe, but....

[VirginiaLonghorn 4,808]

… and another video review.  Then, BYU will change pitchers …

[Js1 85,746]

Yeah, they wouldn't overturn that

"Tie goes to the runner" Okay Alex, but tie goes to the original call 

[Catpfish 618]

boooourns  IBB

[Js1 85,746]

Cap needs to deliver 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,059]

5-3 

[Js1 85,746]

She did her job

[shadow_operative2.0 16,059]

7-3 

[Js1 85,746]

Stewie! 

[VirginiaLonghorn 4,808]

Stewart is such a disciplined hitter.  She’s quite content to drill the outside pitch to the opposite field … and with authority.

[Gut Wagon 8,105]

Order has been restored.

I think being moved down the order has helped her.

[shadow_operative2.0 16,059]

Never a doubt. 

[Js1 85,746]

7-3 Texas.  Series secured

Going for the sweep in 30 min

Kind of glad for the Friday DH - team gets an extra rest day to plan for their Florida trip (FSU and UCF)

Morgan has really stepped up. Meanwhile, what's the word (if any) on Gutierrez?

I wonder if we see her in game 3.  If not, I'm going to assume she's hurt. 

But Cat actually said on the broadcast last night that her "guess" was Kavan in game 2 and Gutierrez in game 3.

She's alive! 

I think it's KC's first time behind the dish. I kind of like that because her bat needs to be in the lineup.  Mia in the OF, FINALLY!

Hustle Henry is so fast.  Great leadoff hitter

[shadow_operative2.0 16,059]

Quick lead. 

[Js1 85,746]

Double, steal, ball gets away and Hunter scores
