2020 Texas Softball - Back to OKC!

[ss13 1832]

Underway against Liberty now. Their P apparently threw a perfecto last game. Did not know Dot Richardson is their coach. 

Megan just said both teams share one bathroom now with the construction. 

[ss13 1832]

We are wearing our solid orange, they’re in all red. Need some contrast. 

[ss13 1832]

1st & 2nd, no outs, Day bunts through strike 3, Jefferson gets picked off 2nd. 

That was fucking embarrassing. 

[ss13 1832]

Fucking awful strike 3 call to get us out of a jam. Scoreless going to bot 2.

That was a strike.

[ss13 1832]

Disagree. 

2-out double stranded, still scoreless. 

[ss13 1832]

We need an average weight of our starting lineups vs. our opponents. Our girls better stay out of any brawls. 

[torre 1286]

Thanks for the updates, ss.

 

Liberty is pretty solid,  wish I had gone to the game.     They are 8-11 but have played all the SEC schools,  Wash, Flt St, UCLA,  split with Michigan, beat Ole Miss.

Still scoreless through 3.5. Gotta bounce for a minute, here’s the Tracker.

I didn’t realize Washington was hurt so that’s why we didn’t see her in Cali 

[ss13 1832]

^ Yeah, you don't see the full mask in RF too often. 

[ss13 1832]

2-0 good girls in bot 6. 

[LTtxfan 49349]

Good defense by Liberty on 2 out based loaded shot to left field by Burke...

On to the 7th.... Texas up 2-0

[Js1 85566]

With Alabama’s loss to Arky, they are now 12-8. 

I don’t think it’ll have the same feel as the Tuscaloosa SR. This Bama team seems off. 

[Js1 85566]

Queen LB hit her 3rd dinger. 2-0 Texas over TSU

[Js1 85566]

This is some disastrous pitching by Adams. Walk, triple, HBP, WP. 2-2 now 

[Js1 85566]

And then another walk and infield single. 3-2 TSU

Adams ain’t the answer at #3

[Js1 85566]

Oh sorry 4-2 on another error. This is garbage. Yank her 

[Js1 85566]

5 runs for TSU. 5-2 to the bottom of the 2nd. Day pitching now 

[LTtxfan 49349]

#2 Team in the nation comes back from 5-2 deficits at home with 18 outs to play...

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! 🤘

[Js1 85566]

Mary HR. 5-3 TSU

[LTtxfan 49349]

BOOM... 💥

[Js1 85566]

Burke double donger day. 5-5

Adams is/should be #4. 

[LTtxfan 49349]

DAMN FINE DIVING defensive play by HORNS SS "SLACK"...

3 UP... 3 DOWN

On to bottom of 4th.... All even 5-5

[Pato del Muerto 52588]

We should be beating tsu in 5. 

[LTtxfan 49349]

This thread is too quiet today...

Day in bottom of 4th blasts a shot off the right/center wall driving in 2 runs!!

After 4 1/2 innings Texas leads 8-5

Bats woke up 

[LTtxfan 49349]

Nice double for the Dripping Springs freshman CAMILLE CORONA... drives in two more runs in bottom of 5th...

Day follows with her 3rd hit of the day

Texas now leads 12-5  after 5 innings

Edited March 7, 2020 by LTtxfan

GRACE GREEN...... BOOM 💥

Nice job. Lotta power. We are off until 5:30

[Js1 85566]

Green getting healthy would be nice 

[Pato del Muerto 52588]

That’s more like it. 
Adams doesn’t need to be pitching if that’s what she has.  3 pitchers should be plenty.

Rant warning:

 

The bleachers may be Plonskyesque, similar to the LF dilemma in baseball a few years ago.

-  The area is now mainly used for tailgaters,  mainly player's parents,  friends,  and others who bring lawn chairs.  The players often go there after games to eat with their parents and socialize with the fans.   It is a great atmosphere for everyone.    Perhaps there will be room,  but their space is greatly reduced.

-  Note the $5 charge.   A GA ticket is not much more if any with frequent specials.     There are fans that watch the game for free there,  like the LF wall.

-  As seen on TV,  a large part of the fan base are young softball players and their families.   They will not want to sit in the bleachers to miss the excitement of the stadium,  tshirt/prize giveaways,  and being on the videoboard.     The scoreboard/videoboard can't be fully viewed,  if at all,  from the bleacher area even if they are on the cameras.   Perhaps they will have giveways in the bleachers.

-  imo,  Texas Softball is not yet at  the point where bleacher seating is needed.    Perhaps temporarily for a Regional or Super Regional or key games,  but certainly not on a permanent basis.

-  May be wrong,  we'll see.   Maybe it is just a trial for Cat's ceremony.   Just hate to see the environment for the parents and fans affected.

 

Boosted by its first No. 1 ranking in 14 years, Texas Softball (20-3) is adding temporary bleacher seating behind the right field wall for the remainder of the season. The new stadium set-up is slated to begin with the Tuesday, March 25 game vs UT Arlington when Cat Osterman's #8 jersey will be retired in pre-game ceremonies. Less than 100 general admission tickets currently remain available for that game at TexasSports.com/Tickets.

Once regular stadium seating is completely sold, general admission bleacher seating will become available atTexasSports.com/Tickets. The right field bleachers will have separate entrances, portable restrooms, and concessions available for fans. Tickets will cost just $5 per person and will not include access to the rest of the stadium.

Did all of the Oregon transfers bring those green trees?  Green isn't one of our colors.  We should only be planting the orange trees. 

[VirginiaLonghorn 4781]

Is the 5:30 start delayed?

Edit:  Crawl says game begins at 6:10.

No score after 1 inning.

Liberty threatening in 2nd, 2 on and only 1 out.

Game is currently live on LHN... 😀

[LTtxfan 49349]

Back-to-Back strikeouts by Shealyn ends the threat!!!

No score heading into the bottom of the 2nd...

[ss13 1832]

RBI groundout by Rhodes.
