CSB time real quick... 

I hit into a 3-2 TP to end a tourney once. Loaded, no outs, 1-hopper to big lefty 1B, he tags runner leaving 1st, steps on bag to retire me, throws home for tag play & 3rd out. Entire play took about 2.5 seconds, it was fucking crazy how quick it was all over.

Tech is 7-2 with wins over top 15 Georgia, top 20 South Carolina, and is leading #1 Washington 5-3 in the fifth. 

But they also have a bad loss to South Florida and a not bad loss to top 20 James Madison 

Big 12 1-4 looks super tough right now (Texas, OU, Tech, Ok State). Best conference early on?

OU lost to Long Beach on a walkoff. Juarez may be injured - pulled yesterday in tears. 

An OU fan on another board is saying it looks to be a bicep injury. She got shut down this summer, didn't pitch in the fall and has only pitched 2.2 innings this spring. Came out after 4 pitches in her last start. This would be big if her bicep is slow to heal as it seems to be.

Yup. Vestal sucks apparently too. Struggling to get through 3 innings in her starts

The Big 12

Texas 10-0
OU 8-1
Baylor 8-2
Texas Tech 7-3
OSU 5-4
ISU 5-5
Kansas 2-8

No, i do not think Baylor is #3 in the Big 12.  I'd put Tech/OSU at 3 and 4.  Baylor has played no one - they are 5th.  ISU 6th and KU 7th.

At this time,  looks like the UNT game will be played,  first pitch 4:30.    Current temp 49 degrees,  8mph N wind.    Tape delay,  9PM,  LHN due to baseball game. (per Texas Sports)

Too bad the weather conditions are not favorable.   UNT is 8-1 with a victory over Megan Kleist and ULL (2-1).    Should be a great game.

Yep. I was going to say, tape delay.

UNT ain't a pushover

8-1

PV&M 4-1 W
@ McNeese 0-7 L
Arkansas Pine Pluff 15-4 W
@ ULL 2-1 W
McNeese 3-0 W
Creighton 2-1 W
ACU 6-0 W
Missouri State 2-1 W
Tennessee Martin 2-1 W

They really try to win with pitching and a timely hit or two.  A lot of 2-1 games. 

Not a potent hitting team - .232 with 13 doubles, 3 triples, 8 HR.  Slugging .436 as a team.  30 walks to 40 strikeouts.  They are 10-11 on stolen bases.  14 errors for a .947 fielding

They really do hang their hat on pitching - 1.03 team ERA, only given up 3 doubles, 1 triple and 1 HR.  .159 BAA, 17 BB / 67 K.  Their Achilles is their defense - 16 runs given up, only 9 of them earned.
