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

[Js1 85056]

 

[Pato del Muerto 52321]

Score box still shows 11-0. It’s 9+3, raider. 

[Gut Wagon 8052]

My hot sports take is that Tech is terrible. Not that this concerns me in the least. In fact, I'm rather glad.

I love seeing them exposed for constantly scheduling majority cupcakes  in non-conf to try and stack wins for a postseason bid and then they get destroyed in Big 12 play, mostly by Texas/OU/OKST

We’ll see if having 6 consistent losses leave the conference helps them with that but they won’t be going 9-0 against Arizona/ASU/Utah

12-0 Horns T4

[Cairn Horn88 8148]

Any chance of a double header today?

[Js1 85056]

Henry!

14-0 Texas 

[Cairn Horn88 8148]

Henry 2-run HR!

[Pato del Muerto 52321]

Wallace with a pinch hit RBI single. First hit. Doubt she’s too upset she got thrown out trying to stretch it lol

15-0

First hit, first rbi, and also moves the game 1 out closer to ending. Great job. 

[Js1 85056]

Man this Tech defense is laughably bad 

16-0 and another Tech miscue in the OF

[HuntinHorn 975]

Agreed…..horribly bad and I love it.

Scorer being unbelievably kind to the RF and vivi benefits.

Couple of times now that Vivi has been given a hit for a Tech OF miscue 

Stewie brings in 2 more

18-0

Are we Oklahoma now?

[Cairn Horn88 8148]

Tech has just rolled over…provided absolutely no competition today.

[Pato del Muerto 52321]

Wonder what tech has for the circle tomorrow

[Gut Wagon 8052]

Tech employs the old idea of "put the kid who can't field in right and hope they don't hit one out there."

Probably Wright, since she’s their only somewhat okay-ish pitcher 

[Pato del Muerto 52321]

Texas’ runs by inning looks like my bowling scorecards. 

[Gut Wagon 8052]

If nothing else, these inning breaks have proved the mastodon isn't really extinct. 

[Js1 85056]

Lots of burnt orange in the stands lol

Surprised CG is still out there instead of giving Simpson some work 

[Js1 85056]

18-0 after 4

[Pato del Muerto 52321]

19

[FloridaHorn 4735]

Embarrassing….A school at this level should not be this bad. Their pitching sucks, their hitting is bad, and I’ve seen low level travel teams play better defense. We are going to beat them by 3 TDs

A Goode one

[perfectchaos007 6593]

Not sure you can bench Goode once captain gets healthy

[Js1 85056]

Reese brings in 2 more - 9 on the day. Big 12 POW is decided

21-0

STEWIE! 

23-0

[Cairn Horn88 8148]

23-0 Fourth Qtr.

Edited May 4 by Cairn Horn88

[Pato del Muerto 52321]

Atwood ought to have the National rbi lead now after 9 today

[Pato del Muerto 52321]

Looks chilly out there 

[TrashMaster G 17379]

I like our chances for a run-rule win.

[Gut Wagon 8052]

Not a concern lately, but at some point won't Mitchell need to start raking again? 

[Pato del Muerto 52321]

I guess CG is staying in to continue working on her change.

80 now I believe - 9 today and 1 yesterday 

Miami (OH) gal didn’t have any in the first game of their DH, so she’s at 75

They somehow are supposed to be one of the last teams into the tournament too

[Js1 85056]

Reese has passed Tiare Jennings for HRs this season, so she’s the top Big 12 player hitting long balls. Well behind the two Miami (OH) gals at 32 and 28

They’re one of the last teams I would put in the tournament. 😂

[Js1 85056]

Texas wins 23-0 (5). An OU loss today from a share of the conference title.

That's an argument for reducing the field. 

[Js1 85056]

Mike has to be Big 12 COY

Atwood has a legit case for POY

TK or Stewie for FOY?

Im sure Maxwell or Kilfoyl will be Pitcher of the Year

🚨 Update 🚨

We are planning to reopen the gates at 3:00 p.m. CT with a tentative 3:15 p.m. first pitch.

Today’s delay has been caused by unexpected lightning in the area. We appreciate your patience and support, Sooner Nation!

How is lightning unexpected this time of year in Oklahoma?

Plus we’ve all looked at the weather report all week long. TV dictated they started at noon. Bad call not to push it back to 3 from the start 

[perfectchaos007 6593]

Only a 20% chance of rain tomorrow in Lubbock, so no need to do a double header today. We win tomorrow and we're no worse than co-champs

[Gut Wagon 8052]

No inclement weather event is "unexpected" in the land of fraidy holes.

Is this our biggest big 12 blowout ever?
