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

[Js1 85,310]

Watching this aggy-Bama game and realizing how many top teams/pitchers are already over 100 IP not even halfway through April

Berzon, Canady, Mullins, Beaver, Pickens, Landry,  Kilfoyl. Now Crandall. Kennedy for aggy. Team still relying on an ace/workhorse 

TK has our most IP at 77, with Mac and Citlaly in the 50s and Czech at 40. Texas has a true pitching staff

OU is similar - Maxwell at 78, May at 57, Deal and Keeny low 40s

[Js1 85,310]

(Centralized reviews in the SEC will do wonders for the annoyances of umpires stopping games and taking 5-10 min to do the reviews themselves on the field)

Texas probably has the easiest finishing schedule of the top 3.  OKST and OU have some toughies - @ UCF is no slouch and Bedlam is going to be interesting

The conference race is actually interesting this year.

That game-one loss to UH really bites right now. However, OU dropped one to BYU, and OSU has dropped three to worse competition (BU, ISU, and BYU), so I guess I can't complain.

At least it's interesting.

Thanks for this, as I was wondering after ou pitched Maxwell twice against us if it was still normal to lean on one ace for the bulk of the innings, since I don’t watch much softball outside of Texas games.

The goal has been to move away from an ace/workhorse bc of the advanced analytics means you don’t want to have a single pitcher for 2+ games

Mike’s challenge decisions are so dumb 

[Js1 85,310]

Baylor up 1-0

Citlaly apparently just needs to pretend they’re playing OU 

[Js1 85,310]

Jesus Christ. 3-0 Baylor

Citlaly, you stink 

[D3zii 3,678]

Honestly can’t say I’m to surprised. 

only thing I’m upset at is the pathetic effort by Maloney on the deep ball

Hopefully we didn’t use all our runs last night

Alex Loeb will be changing his pants already. Dude loves this shit

Citlaly may need to come out of the pen because she’s so mentally not ready to start games

Really hate that cause she’s shown she can be dominant. Just to inconsistent 

[Js1 85,310]

Atwood brings in a run 

3-1 Baylor, still runners on the corner 

[Js1 85,310]

Captain brings in 2 more to tie it up

[MuellerHorn 4,229]

Definitely obstruction. That's the correct call.

[Js1 85,310]

Hey Mike won a challenge! Texas still has 2 on with 1 out now 

[Js1 85,310]

Mike is done with it. Czech in. 

Citlaly can re-enter 

[MuellerHorn 4,229]

Another shitty start to an inning defensively.

Walk, infield hit, passed ball, HBP

[MuellerHorn 4,229]

Huge strike out. Need a double play here.

Edit: An infield fly will work. 2 outs, bases loaded for Baylor.

Edited April 13 by MuellerHorn

[Js1 85,310]

Nice job to avoid a run there with bases loaded no outs

Big time workaround by Czech

Kayden brings in the go-ahead run 

4-3 Texas

Love those two out RBIs

[Js1 85,310]

The wind is making things interesting in CF

Baylor did a good job to adjust. Henry did not 

[Js1 85,310]

Sac fly ties the game at 4

[Js1 85,310]

Vivi RBI

5-4 Texas

6-4 on an Atwood RBI single 

[Js1 85,310]

Baylor CF has made two really amazing grabs

6-4 Texas after 4

[Js1 85,310]

6-5

[D3zii 3,678]

Looks like some of us was drinking the orange koolaid last night after that win 

[perfectchaos007 6,634]

Put in Mac.

[The_Great_Hornsby 3,236]

So if we put in Morgan, I assume that means Kavan would start tomorrow?

Might be time if this runner reaches. 

[Js1 85,310]

Oh look another reviw

[perfectchaos007 6,634]

Shes out

[The_Great_Hornsby 3,236]

Out, very clear

[Js1 85,310]

Don’t think you can overturn it. Good recovery by Vivi to make the throw 

[Pato del Muerto 52,489]

Why was he so animated with the hpu?  Obviously out, but glad the initial call was correct. 

[Js1 85,310]

OKST pitcher hits the first 2 batters in the bottom of the 7th in a 2-2 game

Sac bunt and walk off 3 run HR

Iowa State wins the series over OKST

[Js1 85,310]

Bella!!!!

7-5 Texas 

[Pato del Muerto 52,489]

So if ok st (or someone else) can take one off of ou, and we win out (big if but certainly plausible) then we “win” the regular season.  Which would be fun. 

[perfectchaos007 6,634]

I don't care if the team says Washington is the captain, Bella is the peoples captain!

[shadow_operative2.0 15,965]

Ha, she wasn’t safe. 

[perfectchaos007 6,634]

Didn't look like Mia Scott touched 3rd live

[Js1 85,310]

Vivi! 

8-5

Both teams out of challenges so sucks for them 

[Cairn Horn88 8,262]

Mia scores from 1st on a single to CF....there were two outs...but, you just don't see that kind of speed....I thought she passed the hold sign at 3rd...but, I'll take it.

[shadow_operative2.0 15,965]

Well, box score shows she scored, that was a pretty terrible call.

It did look like the Baylor catcher initially missed the tag bc she tries to tag her again. Probably a play you want your challenges for but both coaches went YOLO with their challenges

I guess Kavan starts tomorrow then

[Js1 85,310]

8-6

Govan is the only scary player on the roster for Baylor. I’d probably just start pitching around her 

I remember really wanting her out of SFA
