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

[shadow_operative2.0 15,831]

^ Your reverse jinx worked also, tied now. 

[Gut Wagon 8,052]

We're less than a full day into the 2024 season and already are 2-0 with a road win over an elite program. Show me a loss! 

[bschoolprof 6,232]

We have the talent. I feel really good about our pitchers.  The lineup will work itself out as the season goes on. Fielding will probably always be an adventure.

Kelly Maxwell and OU get the extra innings win against Washington.

OU doesn’t face another ranked team until March 2 (Louisiana)

Texas faces 8 more ranked teams in that same timeframe

Iron sharpens iron

[Js1 85,110]

My guess for today is one of Czech/Simpson/Citlaly starts against SD and Mac goes against UCLA tonight 

[Js1 85,110]

I like seeing us listed among the “top 5 most impressive opening day teams”

Both Stanford and FSU dropped to unranked teams so if we have a good Saturday, we could be into the top 3 

[10SNE1 111]

Are any of the games televised today?

Nope. We got lucky that we had a big time matchup on a Friday night when there’s not much basketball on ESPN. Too much of that today - the game is on Flo$oftball 

tomorrow against LMU is ESPN+

Estelle in the circle.  Henry getting some PT, which is nice.  Mia in the infield is a choice.  At least it's San Diego.  

[shadow_operative2.0 15,831]

2-0 good, top 2.

Henry with an RBI double. Nice to see.  

But then caught fucking around in a rundown.  Obstruction called on SD, she is safe at 3rd.

Well it’s not like bad baserunning won’t still be a thing with this team 😂

[bschoolprof 6,232]

4-0, top 3, and they are going to the pen already.

another RBI double for henry.  

[Js1 85,110]

8-0 now and already in run rule territory in the 3rd

Relentless

A school in fucking SD, CA should not be this bad at softball.

This team lost to UCLA in fall ball 2-1 and 7-6 yesterday 

This might be Mike’s best team at Texas since 2020. And that’s saying something since he took one to the WCWS finals

Yeah, I was getting early 2020 vibes as well but didn't want to jinx it or trigger another global pandemic.

Also, two run HR for Stewart.  Love all this freshman talent!

[Js1 85,110]

Homer in 3 straight games to start the year

2020 was also the last time UCLA lost a non-conf home game… to Texas! 

[Js1 85,110]

Atwood! Back to back 

[perfectchaos007 6,596]

Save some of these runs for UCLA

[Js1 85,110]

Back to back to back. Mitchell this time 

[bschoolprof 6,232]

UCLA's pitching may be slightly better.

I was pretty impressed with Tinsley yesterday. Her changeup/riseball mix was pretty nasty.

this is a war crime.  they need to call it now.  

[Js1 85,110]

Cool 11 running inning to blow it open 

13-0 bottom 3

[bschoolprof 6,232]

Goode is in the game.  I guess she will bat?

[Js1 85,110]

Czech gives up a hit but no runs

[Js1 85,110]

Atwood homered again

16-0

[perfectchaos007 6,596]

Simpson continues to be the most erratic pitcher on our roster. She won't pitch much this season.

[Js1 85,110]

Simpson not inspiring confidence in her first outing. 2 hits and a walk (and an error by the defense) leads to a run 

Texas wins 16-1 (5)

That’s a shame because she has great movement. But yes, her command just disintegrates at times.

This works for the UCLA game also.  Thanks bschholprof

[shadow_operative2.0 15,831]

[Js1 85,110]

Citlaly gets the start, not Morgan 

[Js1 85,110]

Texas strikes first on a sac fly by Atwood against the UCSD transfer Jada Cecil

[Js1 85,110]

Mia Scott grand salami

5-0 Texas in the 2nd 

[bschoolprof 6,232]

grand slam mia scott.  Not fucking around this year apparently.  5-0.

I don’t think UCLA’s pitching is going to be OKC worthy this year. A good test nonetheless for our offense and we are passing it. 

[Js1 85,110]

And a Vivi solo

6-0

[bschoolprof 6,232]

I guess she is over her one day slump.  

[perfectchaos007 6,596]

Double play turned by Texas!

[Rickylovesweed 14,155]

Damn, we might be legit.
