Okie Lite is pretty awful. 

They are gonna regret bases loaded, no outs, no runs

We play them in Stillwater right before the OU series

They'd better show up with way more hitting, pitching and defense than this. But I hope they don't.

I don't think I've ever seen a team get doubled up on a double steal attempt like we were to end the first inning today. We don't have the team speed to be aggressive around the bases.

Mike’s postgame said they were trying some things to potentially use later. I’d go ahead and shelve that one

Guess we will face this Vol pitcher this weekend:
 
Pickens' historic pitch happened in the sixth inning of Tennessee's game against Arkansas. Her pitch clocked in at 78.2 mph. Pickens' previous top speed was 77 mph, which tied her with former Tennessee pitcher Monica Abbott.Mar 26, 2025

Something that surprised me a lot - 

We play TXST like, every year, at least once.  Sometimes twice

63 times in fact.

Yesterday was only the 7th time we have scored 10+ runs.  Most runs scored on TXST by Texas since 2019. 

Yesterday's game was only our 5th home game since March 5 (Auburn x3, SFA, TXST).  We played 4 neutral site games at Ohio State, 1 road game at Ohio State, 3 at Florida, 3 at MSST, 3 at Missouri 

Luckily 2 of our 4 remaining SEC series are at home the next 2 weekends - Tenn and LSU.  Then it's another 4 games on the road (OKST, OU series) and we finish at home versus Kentucky

This OKST team is not good.  Meylan is not working out as well as Kenny G thought.  He should probably try developing his own pitchers, maybe.  I don't think they'll be back in OKC, which sucks, because you can usually count on them to choke badly. 

SEC did not have a great night - Missouri lost to Southern Illinois and Auburn split a DH with UAB.

Whoa, you may want to delete & try again with the formatting.

Just say we’re facing the blonde that fucking brings it. 

She's impressive, no doubt.  0.94 ERA is going to be tough

But I look at what elite/good teams she faced this year -

5 ER against Nebraska
3 ER against UCLA
6 ER against Arkansas
3 ER against OU

Sometimes when you throw hard, you get hit harder

Plus Texas is playing at home - I don't think we've lost a home game since the game 1 against OU last year.

We beat Pickens 2-1 last year in Clearwater.  6 hits, 1 run unearned.  Early season, everyone normally improves. Besides speed,  she can keep the ball low and has excellent movement.  Probably the best we have faced since Canady.

Remember this Tenn team took 2/3 from OU in Norman after inexplicably losing 2/3 to Ark the weekend before.   They are 7-5 in conference and seem to be inconsistent but realize they need this series.   Only hitting .239 in conference.

Gets real with Tenn, LSU, and OU the next 3 weekends.
