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

[troph 24562]

Ladies gonna UofH game 3 these aggy bitches tomorrow. And I’m going to laugh my ass off the rest of the holiday weekend. “Remember when” is god damn right.

Not surprising there are many names here found on the baseball board.

Unfortunately a lot of the shitty ones.

So I saw aggy was ranked #9 in the latest poll and they play in a respectable conference. Why exactly are they a 16 seed? I get the Duke thing, but not this one. 

Because the NCAA loves to fuck around

Iyo.

Perhaps they were ready to pounce with their positive energy.

Might be more if the Women's Softball was also on the Baseball board.

I’ve always thought they should be on the baseball and basketball boards. But whateves.

[Bevo&Pevo 5026]

Game looked tight and tense.  Great win.

I was very complementary of PRT throughout the season.  She did a great job. 

But holy fuck our pitching has really melted.  How the fuck did we give up 12 fucking hits to aggy?  I think we are playing too tight . . . or too loose.  We need to channel some Augie-like zen master shit and get everyone focused.  

I rolled through Sinton twice this past few days and thought of Bill.

Yeah I might check in more if that were the case.

To me, there should be an "On the Diamond" or some such board. And I'd be fully in favor of women's basketball being on the basketball board. Even as great as we are in volleyball, rowing, track and field, etc., those maybe could stay as they are.

Was there a post-game interview anywhere?  Was wondering if Coach White took the blame for that blown base running call.

Also that last inning it looked like Maloney was pretty wound up emotionally.  Good call by whoever to take a little time to get the players together to reassure her.  I can imagine that the outfield seems pretty lonely after a bauble like she made in that situation.

Perhaps it will get promoted to the big boys board, along with stadium improvements.

[Nueces River Rat 5529]

Any conspiracy theories over on TxAgs on how this is going to turn out?   
 

They can’t be blaming the LHN and the ‘sips who dominate the Texas Legislature for this one.   Can they?

101 degrees at first pitch tomorrow

Twitter/X Ags bitching about the ump calling balls and strikes in our favor, base calls in our favor, “getting extra challenges”, etc etc. Same ol shit when they lose …different day.

I'm sure they were equally furious when they got a free out on a play where their first baseman wasn't even touching the bag.

Yeah, he totally sent Bella while he was pointing at the base. Well done indeed.

It’s much hotter on the field….101 for the fans!

[Kel Varnsen 8430]

Seeing how our women's sports are some of the most successful maybe they should be moved to the top level instead of 2 layers deep.

[bschoolprof 6232]

 

[Js1 85095]

Sure looks like every team today except Arizona is going to force a game 3

[Pato del Muerto 52340]

So he really was pointing to third to tell her to touch third.  He got what he deserved, that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen a base coach do. 

[Kel Varnsen 8430]

Yea, he's been doing this too long to make that kind of bonehead move.

[bschoolprof 6232]

He needs to fire himself as 3rd base coach - he's not very good at it.  But then you'd have to put singleton there and I think he's best coaching the hitters from the dugout.  

[Kel Varnsen 8430]

I was just about to add that to the end off my post, but thought the same thing. If not him, who? Swap with Zaleski at 1st, maybe?

Of course he was pointing to third which in and of itself is just a bad decision but not without complete merit. Gotta have the runs, don’t get thrown out at home yada yada yada but he’d be wrong there. The problem which I’m still not over is he fucking blamed her. Just look at the sign he made to her, then the sign he mimicked to coach Steve - NOT the same - then look at what Steve showed him to do with the fucking roto arms. I can’t fucking believe he blamed her. That was one of the most hideous coaching displays (blaming her) I’ve ever seen.

Yeah, no one bc you can’t take Singleton out of the dugout to talk to the hitters or PRT out when she’s talking to the pitchers when the offense is out there. He just has to be better

you don't need to tell a player to touch the base.  you need to tell them to go or stop.  that is just ridiculous.

Yep. She knows the rules. He’s there to be her eyes for go/stop. He changed the visual cue from go to stop.

Mike White needs to clarify to his players what his hand signs mean. If I saw him point to the bag I would assume thats the bag he wants me to stay at. Is he capable of doing a windmill motion?

What is it with our baseball/softball head coaches coaching at third base?

[Gut Wagon 8052]

At least we have a later game tomorrow, so presumably that means more time for our coaches to go over all the baserunning signals. And maybe then share them with the players.
