  1. Mary did the same ! Should have taken a pitch or two. Good job on the updates @LTtxfan
  2. You can see KennyG’s hate for Texas in that interview.
  3. Right call on Iakopo. Terrible decision down 2.
  4. OU 5 Iowa St 0 Iowa St could not overcome a first inning grand slam by Elam. Iowa St is close to having a good program, hope they continue to progress. Trautwein pitched for OU.
  5. Fri/Sat Schedule Semifinals - Friday, May 13 1 p.m. Game 4: No. 1 Oklahoma vs. No. 4 Iowa State ESPNU 4 p.m. Game 5: No. 2 Oklahoma State vs. No. 3 Texas Big 12 Now on ESPN+ Championship - Saturday, May 14 2 p.m. Game 6: Game 4 Winner vs. Game 5 Winner ESPN2 https://big12sports.com/news/2022/5/12/longhorns-defeat-red-raiders-semifinals-set-for-2022-phillips-66-big-12-softball-championship.aspx
  6. Probably so. Trailer on SECN stated second time, first shutout was 2004 did not see or missed conf record only. Thanks for the correction. Their coach (Larissa Anderson) has really brought the team back from the issues left by Earleywine. Texas 8 Tech 0 T4th
  7. Iowa St 2 Baylor 1 (8 inn) Mizzou beats Alabama 3-0, only 2nd time Alabama shutout in program history.
  8. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ Worth the 25 minute listen. Multitask and give it a try. Kendall: - Win out, win 2 in Arlington, very good chance to host - Money (school guaranteeing certain amount) does not have weight it did before in selecting hosts. - Discuss pitching rotation. Kendall likes Luke Harrison. - Kendall sounds positive there will be an increase in scholarships and coaches.
  9. MsSt defeats LSU and their obnoxious fans 7-4 in 9 innings which eliminates LSU from SECT. May also dim their chances for hosting in competition with us. In addition we swept them in March.
  10. I streamed the game. McLean looked tired, even before the HR there were two hard hit fly balls. He was leaving the ball up. Your RPI dropped to 4 in NCAA and Nolan, Boyds still at 3. DBU moved up to 3 in NCAA and Nolan. (admittedly closet OKSt fan except when playing Texas. Like Josh and have good friend in Midwest City who is friends with the Gundy Family) )
  11. DBU defeats OKSt 7-6 with a first pitch, 2 out walk off home run. McLean left a breaking ball up letter high to Blayne Jones who leads DBU with 10 HR's.
  12. https://www.collegesportsmadness.com/softball/bracketology CSM bracket 10 May. Likely not reliable, but still have us going to Fayetteville vs Ark, Weber St, St Francis. Only projection I can find that is free. SEC Tournament starts tonight with aggy vs SCar in play-in game. LSU opens with Miss St and then will likely play Tenn. If they make a deep run would not be good. Georgia finished 12-12 in SEC and would committee have 3 Regionals in Florida (UCF) ? NDame opens ACC tournament Thursday vs Clemson and would then play Va Tech. Cynic in me says committee would love a Regional in South Bend. NCAA Selection Show, Sunday, 6PM, ESPN2
  13. D1 Chat: Ryan: Alright. With the sweep over the weekend What do we think Oklahoma State has to do over the next 2 weekends to clinch the Big 12 and a national seed? Kendall Rogers: Ryan — as long as Oklahoma State has a Top 10 RPI and wins the Big 12 regular season title, it will be a top-eight national seed, IMO. It would deserve it for sure. https://d1baseball.com/top-stories/d1baseball-weekly-chat-may-9/ Hopefully, Josh has learned from 2018 when with a 2 or 3 game lead OkSt lost their last 5 of 6 to Tech and Baylor. David Pierce and Texas came in the back door for the title.
  14. From Kendall Roger's D1 Chat today. (not a subscriber, this is free) Interesting they say higher RPI does not always indicate host in cases like DBU and Florida. Try link, not sure it works. https://d1baseball.com/top-stories/d1baseball-weekly-chat-may-9/ Texas is now back inside the top-16 in RPI with a road series win at WVU. With only five regular season games left (TX Southern, SHSU, KU (3)) do they need to go 5-0 in those games to host? Would a 14-10 Big 12 record be enough for them to host? Kendall Rogers 12:03 Big 12 -- If the Longhorns are 14-10 in the league and play well in Arlington, that would very much be a strong hosting resume, IMO, when you look at some of UT's higher-end wins. I would probably lean toward UT hosting in that situation, but it's still very fluid.
  15. Plays out well with the head to head games, save TCU. TCU - @Kansas Tech - @ OkSt, OU OU - WV. @Tech OKSt - Tech, @Baylor WVU - @OU, KSt
  16. 2022 Phillips 66 Big 12 Softball Championship First Round - Thursday, May 12 12 p.m. Game 1: No. 4 Iowa State vs. No. 5 Baylor ESPNU 3 p.m. Game 2: No. 2 Oklahoma State vs. No. 7 Kansas Big 12 Now on ESPN+ 6 p.m. Game 3: No. 3 Texas vs. No. 6 Texas Tech Big 12 Now on ESPN+ Semifinals - Friday, May 13 1 p.m. Game 4: No. 1 Oklahoma vs. Game 1 Winner ESPNU 4 p.m. Game 5: Game 2 Winner vs. Game 3 Winner Big 12 Now on ESPN+ Championship - Saturday, May 14 2 p.m. Game 6: Game 4 winner vs. Game 5 winner ESPN2 Game times and television networks are subject to change https://big12sports.com/news/2022/5/8/bracket-released-for-2022-phillips-66-big-12-softball-championship.aspx
  17. MW's contract expires Sep '23. This would be the year he wanted to make a run and garner an extension and pay raise like Pierce. Doubt he will go anywhere unless he so chooses and finds someone to match his salary of 450K+. Pitching staff has regressed so much and that is on him. Simpson and Czech had good outings earlier. If you see a replay of the game, note his exchange with Simpson in the 1st inning. She and Czech are intimidated by him instead of having their confidence/mechanics bolstered. The following pitchers left during his tenure. 3 of the 4 were highly recruited and the type you want to stay. Draw you own conclusions. Chloe Romero - Cal Ariana Adams - Syracuse Miranda Elish - OkSt Grace Green - not sure where https://texassports.com/news/2021/11/10/softball-inks-five-players-to-its-2022-signing-class.aspxbo Above is preview of '22 class. 1 pitcher. So the portal he will go. Save Dolcini, did not do well last time. But ask yourself, what top pitchers really want to come here ?
  18. 1PM start per twitter. WVU is hitting only .265 but has stolen 139 bases with 174 attempts. LHP should help. Hope Silas had a good breakfast.
  19. https://weather.com/weather/radar/interactive/l/e2a3632602083ebd59bdfa20cd4bf356076f1c5d1d4d782d55ffc78ee5b4fb5b Radar shows clearing about 2PM (EST). Good for Sunday. Their field is only 6 years old, synthetic turf like ours.
  20. Recap for those that may have not followed: Texas leads 8-0 after 3 with Dolcini only giving up 1 hit. MW apparently thinks run rule and experience and brings in Czech who gives up 9 hits and 6 runs in 2 innings. Brings Day in for 1 inning and brings Dolcini back for 1 inning to close. Like Pierce in baseball, MW has not developed this pitching staff.
  21. MW brought in Czech to relieve Dolcini for 4th and it didn't go well. 9-3 'Horns after 5. OU wins their 10th straight B12 title with a 6-0 win vs OKSt. FML
  22. OU 7 OKSt 1 game 1 of 3 game series. Difficult to watch. Elish went 0-3 as DH. Bahl only threw 87 pitches. OKSt needs to make her throw more. We made her throw 109 in the 3-0 loss and 138 in the 4-2 win.
  23.

  24. Hiring an outstanding coaching staff has paid more. Rumor was we did not show genuine interest or sincerity in Schlossnagle and only talked to him as one of the final candidates. They only have 8 transfers (below article). We have as many (Messinger, Schuessler, Stehly, Melendez, O'Dowd, Blair, Morehouse, Olivarez) if you include juco transfers which aggy includes in their 8. If interested, read the below article and check the bios of their coaching staff. With the hire of new head coach Jim Schlossnagle this past summer, A&M baseball has gone to work creating a very impressive coaching staff and bringing eight transfer athletes to Aggieland. Baseball America recently tabbed the Aggies with the nation’s best transfer class in 2021. https://www.thebatt.com/sports/a-m-s-transfer-class-brings-experience-fresh-potential/article_946eb30a-37a1-11ec-9311-b74ae6145950.html https://12thman.com/sports/baseball/roster#sidearm-roster-coaches
  25. https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/softball/d1/ncaa-womens-softball-rpi OU is #2 in RPI behind Va Tech released 2 May, same date as this predicted bracket. OU is affected by being in a weak B12. The OKSt series beginning Thursday should provide opportunity for # 1 RPI.* (* no need to debate RPI formula, it is what it is)
