If Maxwell came out and looked like shit today, would that have been Patty’s fault? 

If she would have left her out to dry for 3 innings, yes.

Game 1: Mac

Game 2: Kavan

if necessary game 3: Kavan (until she fatigues) and then Citlaly/Mac/Czech

Hindsight is 20/20 but I think my gut feeling was more accurate than Mike White's. Mac is more fresh plus shes the upperclassman thats why I wanted her to start

That's not "gut feeling"; that's just smart.

[Kel Varnsen 8459]

We just swinging at trash now. Actually pretty good changeup

[Redneck Mutha 7954]

Ain't gon' matter who we started if we keep swinging at shit and bats stay asleep.

[TwiceHorn 31456]

Offense being pretty sad. 

[Pancho 44767]

Man we are swinging at pure shit

[HuntinHorn 975]

We look like lost at the plate and in their eyes in the dugout.

[The Longest Horn 138]

Helping out Maxwell wayyy too much

[OU Sucks 8816]

Wish we saved Mac for tomorrow.  This ump is killing our offense with his inconsistency....going to be near-impossible to get 5 runs.

[LonghornSean 3994]

Bats are mystified right now

[Kel Varnsen 8459]

Connie? She brought the bad mojo.

Maxwell is a Graduate Student and on the US National Team.  She's exactly who you put out there for Game 1, even if she's tired.  Because she's got the mental game.  We ran out a freshman on the biggest stage.  Talent aside, few freshman are going to be nails in that situation.  It's common sense.

[Redneck Mutha 7954]

Get the damn bat out of the way.

She’d pitched 2 shutouts in OKC already, no reason to think she wasn’t ready for the moment to start. Definitely should’ve pulled her sooner though.

Do these ou hoes get to sleep in they own beds? Or they gotta be in a hotel like everyone else?

[The Ace of Aces 5182]

Not our night methinks. Get ‘em tomorrow.

Sleep in their own beds, get to use their own training facilities to recover, own batting cages and machines, etc....

[HuntinHorn 975]

She is making us look less than ordinary

[ClubWhatever 12138]

Henry looks terrible.   Just flailing.   Bench her for Goode.

[Hank_Hill 18804]

Pitching aside 1 run was never going to win this regardless. 

[The Longest Horn 138]

Henry is struggling big time at the plate

Hey same thing happen game 1 in the season series.

Maybe they'll get overconfident

… and we’re playing like we slept in tents under the grandstand.  What’s your point?

[Gut Wagon 8065]

No small ball from a lefty lineup facing a top lefty pitcher. Puzzling. I mean, we got a run by swinging hard, but we've also made it easy on Maxwell way more times than not.

[UTEE97 3519]

Why are they swinging at everything, sometimes with their eyes closed? Also, I am not a fan of Ashton Maloney's hitting style. How do you find the ball when you keep walking towards the ball? Seems like a guaranteed strike out or ground ball.

[Kel Varnsen 8459]

Czech in. 

[HuntinHorn 975]

Come Czech! Give em hell!

[OU Sucks 8816]

First good move White has made.  Our bats don't have it tonight.  No reason to waste Mac and let OU have more practice against her.

Would you rather sleep in a hotel or a single wide with no running water?

That wasn’t the question

Would be nice if our bats would improve with more practice against Maxwell.

[dcar00 14181]

i would have just said screw it.  now they will have seen both Mac and Kavan.   she's gonna throw maxwell 3 games(if needed).  we would need to win games 1-0 and 2-1 because Atwood has disappeared.

[Kel Varnsen 8459]

Maybe we can do something so ESPN can have some other highlights other than OUs to show.

She hits .400 because if she hits it she's already a third of the way to the bag.

[Redneck Mutha 7954]

Christ Blue...

[Kel Varnsen 8459]

DUDE. That was a strike.

.. and Stewart

[Kel Varnsen 8459]

Should have been a strikeout

[dcar00 14181]

ha. if you do that in a football game it's a 15 yarder and maybe ejection.

[Thiefery 4995]

of course obvious strike is called a ball.. Pitcher throws straight in the middle for another hit

I think they're getting flustered by this bitch behind home plate.  When you don't know if a ball is going to be called a strike, you start fishing for everything.

[LTtxfan 49184]

Blue behind the plate making it tough

[TwiceHorn 31456]

We look like shit. 

[HuntinHorn 975]
