Texas Softball 2025 - Sick of Being Second Place


Recommended Posts

Posted

7pm, ESPNU tonight

OKST hitting .306 as a team with only 45 HR, slugging .490%, 70-82 SB.  Not a lot of power

Amanda Hasler is their power threat (12 HR), no one else as double digit HRs (Megan Bloodworth has 8 and Rosie Davis has 7)

We will likely see Ruby Meylan in the circle, as you know Kenny is chasing a signature win 

1.66 ERA in 152 IP, has given up 10 HR, 184K to 65 BB.  Their next most used pitcher (at 60 IP) has an ERA of 4.67

They are 7-3 at home.  This team has lost to LA Tech, Auburn, lost 2/3 to Tech, lost 1 to Baylor, lost to Georgia and Georgia Tech, dropped 2/3 to ISU and dropped a game to UCF.  Their best wins are probably... FSU/aggy/Bama (all 2 months ago), they managed to run-rule Tech in 1 game and took the opener against Arizona (lost the other 2 by a combined 15-4).  They got run-ruled by OU

Texas should win this game....

Texas, by comparison, is hitting .361, even after facing Tenn and LSU back to back, with 70 HR and slugging .601.  64-75 SB

Texas has 3 players with double digit HRs (16 for Reese, 12 for Joley, 11 for Stewie) and 2 other players with 6 (Goode and Scott) 

2.12 team ERA.  OKST will likely see a combo of Mac (2.95 ERA) and Cit (1.81 ERA) and maybe Cam (2.07 ERA), because TK is untouchable until Friday

They are terrible, we should win convincingly.....

 

 

That being said, I expect a 5-4 or 6-5 game if we continue to play the way we have of late.

I doubt TK is pitching, so yeah I expect us to fall behind 3-0 and the game will end 6-5 and hopefully it’s Texas on top

I hate when Joley gets a day off. She’s one of our clutchest hitters 

My thoughts exactly. She was a huge get out of the portal. Not sure what coach is thinking here. Stewie at ss is also wtf.

She’s had a few mid week days off, I’ve noticed. But she performs on the weekends

Henry should bunt 80% of the time she comes up with nobody on. And then, when she's on first or second, steal on every first pitch to Scott. I'm only half kidding. 

In other news, Reese gets a ton of extra-low strikes called on her. A girl with shins that long shouldn't.

Our offense definitely is fucky.  It hasn't been right in a while.  

Basically since Stewie went into a funk

We really miss Vivi (broken record, I know) bc the bottom of our order is trash and we can’t find a consistent DP

Stewie's not been lifting the ball enough to play into her strength lately. But I can't complain about how hard she's struck it tonight. Just needs a tweak. At least she's not flailing helplessly the way she was for a few weeks.

Vivi would indeed make everything so much easier.
