Is anyone else irritated with broadcast about canady being player of the year. Is that official because ESPN is running with it. I thought Atwood was still in it. 

Yes, Canady was named NFCA POY. They don’t bother to mention that Reese won D1 Softball or Softball America POY - just the coaches award

I interpreted that post as saying donate to TOF, not being critical of TOF

There are different POY awards. 

Canady won one that doesn't separate pitchers from hitters. Atwood won 2 other national POY awards

We gave UCLA their worst loss in program history earlier this year IIRC.  They are playing much better since then, but I'll be shocked if they beat us twice.  It's us and OU baby.

Yeah, it’s def looking like a RRS part two. Top 2 seeds, both would need to be beaten twice

I think Stanford’s offense is much easier to handle and Canady will be throwing her 4th game since Thursday. 

I agree Stanford is the more favorable match up, especially if UCLA can make Canady grind for 7 innings

Does Mike try CG at all tomorrow or nah and just roll with TK?  

You’re going to need her in a 3 game series with OU. I think you have to get her some work tomorrow

I was thinking the same thing.

we need CG to be rolling just as much as TK and MAC.  One thing for sure CG is probably our best big game pitcher and when she’s on she’s probably the best, only bad thing when she’s not, she’s our worse. Gotta get her going. 
 

At least in these last two games at the WCWS our pitchers have played there best games!!! Got faith CG can follow suit

Was waiting until after the game to post this; my Weslaco Panthers are bringing home a state championship to the RGV!

After playing 13 innings last night and beating #1 Denton Guyer, they come back in the bottom of the 7th and win it with a grand slam (at McCombs Field!)! 

I believe it's the first ever Girls team sport State championship for the RGV and I'm pretty sure first ever state championship for Weslaco High.

Weslaco was down 7-3, gave up two HR in the top 7th to go down 9-3, then came all the way back. I'm pretty sure we don't have any D-1 recruits, Waco has a Texas A&M signee (#13 ranked player in the country) and a Baylor signee. 

Way to go Weslaco!!

Forgot that Trey Faltine's mom is from Weslaco. She caught this clip from this morning's sportscenter!

Point of order. It is Waco Midway which is like Westlake or Lake Travis are to Austin. We used to call Midway the Cadillac kids.

yep - they have their own district and everything so as to not be diluted by the unpure and unwashed.

Whenever CG does take the mound, I just want to see her as focused as the rest of the team is. No more of this easing her way into the flow. We don't want to lose any mojo having to battle back. Short leash.

4th and maybe 5th matchup with Stanford tomorrow. Win and we face OU for a 5th and 6th and maybe a 7th time.

I can’t wait to hear the excuses from the announcers when we run rule tree tomorrow. They’ll say it had to be something wrong with canady, surely it can’t be the number 1 team and offense. Can’t wait…

It’s always fun to knock Bama out of something significant.   I don’t see Gata sweeping Oklahoma absent some Westlaco type miracle.

After reality sets in tomorrow I’ll be rooting for you guys. 

Just make Maxwell throw enough pitches that her arm falls off.

I tend toward glass half empty . . . but I don't see Canaday throwing 200+ pitches tomorrow to beat us twice.  That's what it's going to take. 

According to the forecast (questionable) the T storms roll in during the 1st game. The worst thing that could happen is Canady get's in a full game, Tree wins and then the rain comes giving Canady another days rest. I'd rather have the storms come in early and make Canady throw 2 games back to back tomorrow.

Obviously Texas is well rested. Who starts? Teagan did well before, but now do they know her pitches? Mac certainly did great against gator. Citlaly also did pretty good in the early season game, and there's Estelle to go against all those lefties for once through the order.

Barring several defensive meltdowns on our part (always possible), I don't see Stanford scoring more than three runs on our staff. It's possible Canada could beat us with a run or two of three by her team, but doubtful. And not twice. Of course, nothing is guaranteed, because...sports.

Yeah I agree.  I have a hard time seeing how Stanford beats us twice.  Canady would have to throw back to back games, so 180-200+ pitches in the mid-80s temp and high humidity.  Texas can throw any of their pitchers at Stanford, as they are all rested and fresh. 

Game 1 - TK 4 IP, 2 H, 2 ER, 9 K
SS 2 IP, 1 H, 4 K
Mac 1 IP, 1 BB

Game 2 - CG 4 IP, 1 H, 1 ER, 2 BB
Czech 3.1 IP, 3 H, 2 K
TK 0.2 IP

Game 3 - TK 7 IP, 1 H, 8 K

That game 2 loss (4-3 in 8 innings) featured about a billion errors that led to 3 unearned runs for Stanford and the stupid ITB rule in extra innings.

How many pitches did Canady throw yesterday?

97 pitches. 

She's thrown 862 pitches in the last 16 days.  She has thrown in all but 1 postseason game for Stanford so far.

Thanks! That's a lot of pitches....her arm has to be nearly gassed. 

Shades of 2022 Haley Dolcini pitching Texas to the champ series before her arm fell off.  By the time we got to the champ series, Dolcini threw 1.1 innings and less than 50 pitches in the series because she was dead tired and ineffective.

I think I go with Citlaly in game 1, with Mac ready to go behind her.  CG needs the work before the champ series and she pitched effectively against Stanford - her defense let her down that game. 

I don't think she has back to back bad starts. Everyone but Mac was bad against aggy.

I'll play contrarian a bit.  I agree we need CG to get some work, but in our only loss to Stanford, she started by hitting the first batter, then a wild pitch, some fielding fuckups, and we were down 2-0 in the 1st inning.  You give Canady that lead and we are fucked.  OTOH, we are undefeated when we score first. 

I wonder if you bring out TC or MM first to get things settled and then bring in CG later. She just has issues starting games. Why not use her as more of a middle reliever.

It wouldn't bother me one bit to see Mac start. Yes, Citlaly and Teagan have better "stuff", but Mac has better mental "stuff". Start with a walk, an error and a hit that just makes it through the gap and it could be over in the 1st.

Not opposed to it.  Was surprised not to see her at all in the 5th inning of the UF series, but Mike wanted that no hitter for Mac.

It's not like CG is some huge risk either. She's been our best pitcher all year. It's kind of funny we are even having this discussion. 

Of course, she may really struggle but I see no reason White should get criticism if he starts CG in this one.
