I'm a fan too, but wish they would get rid of the stripes on the pants.

Massey now has us favored in all but 5 games (Tenn and OU). That’s 50 wins. 

50-6 predicted record. That’s a super regional record if it played out

This team will he even better when Ellsworth is back. Ugh imagine if Wright had finished her eligibility under Mike for one last season.....

Amazing turnaround.  The UO exodus avoids any transition classes and what a testament to White, personally.

Correct. 

Because it’s another year of Elish, another year of Rhodes and 2 more of Iakopo and Burke to bridge the gap into his recruits. 

As good as the 4 Ducks have been, it’s also been Nae Nae, Alcozer, Hathaway, Shae and Brooke and Ellsworth pre-injury embracing the change. A testament to the kind of team players they are  

Hes amazing. Texas will becomes a destination for transfers as well. Maybe they will all stop going to OU

Me too although I am a bigger fan of the yoga pant like fit. Was at the games last weekend and they are fun to watch.  

[Js1 85095]

Adams gets the start against Princeton

[Js1 85095]

Bottom of the lineup doing work - 2-out RBI double by Slack

Texas' 2-out RBI performance in 2019 is astoundingly clutch. 

[Js1 85095]

Burke with the SF - 2-0

Schattle HR - 4-0 Texas

Like I said, starting to see some pop. 5 HR in the last 3 games.  Part of that is the venue - Farrington is one of those cracker jack softball stadiums, balls fly in Tempe (no pun intended bc of the sluts).

[Js1 85095]

Parker RBI double - 5-0

I was iffy on Kerry Shaw but this team can hit the ball 

[HollidayHorn 274]

[Js1 85095]

Lol it’s 13-0 Texas 

[Js1 85095]

14-0 to the b4. 

[Js1 85095]

Tedder solo. 15-0. This is just mean 

[Js1 85095]

Sloppy finish run ruled Princeton 15-2

See and I'm a fan of Iakopo's behind.

[Js1 85095]

16 games in, already at 52% of our 2018 HR

On the one hand, I try to be a mature sports fan and realize these girls are great athletes and are very talented. Most of them have great swing mechanics (I obsess over this stuff).

On the other hand, I'm a man and would like to bang them.  

 

[Js1 85095]

Pitching duel in Tempe rn. 0-0 in the 5th. Shae holding it down for our offense to break through 

[perfectchaos007 6596]

Still 0-0. Bottom of the 7th

[texasstrong12 4668]

Runner on 3rd with 1 out. Chance to win it here. 

[Js1 85095]

If we win, Shae would be the first Texas freshman to win her first 6 contests. 

[Longhornmaniac8 255]

Squeeze attempt failed. Ugh.

[Js1 85095]

First extra innings of the season

I hear ya.

[Js1 85095]

Brooke in so no decision for Shae 

[perfectchaos007 6596]

So having a runner on 2nd to start extra innings is an official rule now?

No

Pre-conference tournaments always play with international tiebreak rules. It goes away when conf play and NCAA starts.

just avoids 9+ inning games in tournament schedules when they’re trying to play 6+ games a day

Texas needs to win it here in the bottom of the 8th. Runner on 2nd to start the inning and the heart of the order.

Bunt, SF. As we should have done in the 7th. Come on! 

[Longhornmaniac8 255]

Sacrifice. Runner on 3rd, 1 out. I've seen this before recently.

Edited March 2, 2019 by Longhornmaniac8
Technically a FC, not a sacrifice.

[texasstrong12 4668]

Runner on 3rd with 1 out. let's try this again. 

[TwiceHorn 31262]

The new gametracker has a lot of (too much) information, but doesn't update reliably.

[spystud13 2371]

Shit, wrong thread.

[Longhornmaniac8 255]

To the 9th.

[Js1 85095]

WTF. Frustrating as fuck. 

[Js1 85095]

We deserve to lose. 2 chances to just get a sac fly and win and now down 1-0

Chance for a sac fly drop considerably when a squeeze is called

[perfectchaos007 6596]

Oh NOW we get the runner across. After we're down 3 runs

[perfectchaos007 6596]

Wisconsin wins 3-1

[TrashMaster G 17386]

Well crap.  

Need to take another from ASU tomorrow to redeem this.

[Js1 85095]

Still batting .342 as a team with a 1.12 team ERA. 128 K to 24 walks given up. Wowza. 55/55 offensively. 

112-28 run differential still 

Shae 0.23 ERA. Only 2 walks in 31 IP

[Js1 85095]

Texas still has 14 non conference matches before our first Big 12 series. SEC play starts next weekend.

Early hole as a lead off bomb off Elish. 1-0 b1
