Delayed.

Currently a lightning delay (WITH ICE FALLING).  Tarp is down. 

[HollidayHorn 274]

Wow. Ok. Thanks for the update!

[Js1 85,576]

 

[Goodman 3,273]

Set for a 7PM start.

Need help, watching these games and do not understand how the pitchers are allowed to disregard the rubber. They touch it to start the motion but step forward before they release the ball and it seems to be legal, how?

[bschoolprof 6,272]

Looks like games are cancelled for tonight?

Didn't take long for the Oregon transfers to contribute.

First runs of the Mike White era come in the bottom of the 2nd from former Oregon players - 

RBI single by Elish

2 RBI double by Rhodes

 

[Js1 85,576]

Elish may be a secret weapon in the DP spot.  She can hit when she's not pitching.

lineup was:

LF DeMargosian
2B Jefferson
1B Washington
C Ellsworth
CF Hathaway
RF Alcozer
DP Elish
3B Rhodes
SS Slack
P Bollinger

 

Considering we are playing a triple header, everyone will play and move around a lot.

[Js1 85,576]

First game of the Mike White era is an 8-0 run-rule win in 5 innings over BC.

Elish had an RBI

Rhodes had 2 and was a perfect 2-2

Jefferson had 2

Washington had a 2 run triple

Ellsworth had the game-winning sac fly

[TrashMaster G 17,599]

Slack also had a key hit.

I mention that 'cuz she's nice to look at.

[ruitxn 298]

Elish brings the heat. What an addition

Game 2 vs Boise State

SS Slack
3B Schattle
P Elish

You know it’s shitty when the Boise dugout looks miserable. 

[spystud13 2,371]

This is embarrassing, no one wants to be out there. Everything is in slo-mo. 

[Victorious1 164]

2-0 after 1 inning.  Probably ran themselves out of 2 more runs

 

[spystud13 2,371]

Was probably safe at home, but an actual replay is too much to ask. 

[TrashMaster G 17,599]

I really like Elish's demeanor in the circle.

[perfectchaos007 6,677]

We have scored a run or more in every inning this game so far. I’m not used to an offense like this

Back to back run rule wins 

[bschoolprof 6,272]

Oregon transfers seem legit. 

It's nice to have an actual offense.

What a concept, eh?

[spystud13 2,371]

Sloppy early against NW St. 

[spystud13 2,371]

Hathaway off the wall to tie it at 1 in bot 3. 

[spystud13 2,371]

Jesus, our baserunning has been putrid today. 

[TrashMaster G 17,599]

That was some craptastic base running

[perfectchaos007 6,677]

Big opportunity to blow this one open. bases juiced

Or, perhaps due to ignorance, he thought our team didn't need base running coaching because its very basic. He's still finding our how shitty our squad was at basic fundamentals under ToB

[TrashMaster G 17,599]

Horrible misplay in LF

those line drives are tough to judge. She got a horrible break on it but it still would have been tough to catch up to it if she read it right 

[bschoolprof 6,272]

I think we may have an actual softball team boys and girls.

True.

Plus she played CF all of last year, much different angle.   Not as easy as we may think to make the transition.

Also,  she had the miscues earlier when they had her at 3b which may have effect.     ..."90% mental, the other half physical"   (Yogi)

3 wins in one day for the first time ever 

[perfectchaos007 6,677]

Also aggy was run ruled by UNT today

He’s discussed base running as an area that needs improvement and that they’ve been working on improving. I think he knows.

Love what we saw yesterday including the uniforms, love the attitude of this squad. Long way to go but the short term improvements give me confidence that we have the right coach.

[spystud13 2,371]

Interesting decision to rock the shades today. 

[spystud13 2,371]

Is this Megan in the booth? Whoever it is just invented the word “drastly”. 

[spystud13 2,371]

Check out the line under her name, that’s fucked up.

Iakopo yack, rough start for this freshman P.

First HR on the White era. Of course it came from a former Duck
