  1. Did you all see Coach Bartlett get thrown out of the game ? Argued what looked to be an an obvious safe call at 1B. Perhaps she thought the ball was not controlled by the 1B. Not a good look, especially the little curtsy she did before going in the dugout. Not sure of her impact on the team thus far.
  2. Good point ! Re: 122 pitch outing against OKSt last Sat. Ty's pitch count was 80 entering the 6th where he threw 42 pitches. Not good. Should have been relieved instead of completing the 6th especially after the doubles. We led 4-0 entering the 6th and OKSt rallied for 3 runs from Ty. Have to protect your arms at this point in the season. Pierce has to trust the bullpen. Can't let your ace throw 42 pitches in 1 inning.
  3. Listened to audio. Check tape delay, but in 1st inn w/2 outs, ball hit to K Washington in CF which announcer indicated was catchable resulting in double and opened scoring. MW opted to bring Rhodes in to play 3B. Not sure K Washington has played CF ever, at least this year. We know the issues she had earlier in LF. Not a fan of this musical chair defense when you are last in the league. OkSt had 3 DP's to counter our 7 singles and 1 HR. As mentioned above, could not get the key hit. Is A. Washingotn injured ? Edit: Just saw replay. Tough play, would have required remarkable catch by K Wash. Rhodes may have been able to get a better jump considering she has been regular CF. But definitely not as described on radio.
  4. Especially at this time of year. 4th year, may have graduated in Dec or scheduled in May. Respected her for not transferring and being a team player. Per reports, highly recruited and successful in travel ball. Type of pitcher that could come in and give the opponent a different look for a few batters or innings. Always good to have a 5th pitcher for the tournament. Though now improved, Covid made for a more stressful season with testing requirements, lack of social interaction with teammates, etc.
  5. OU wins first game, 7-1. Baylor had a 1-0 lead thru 3 and then Mendes with a grand slam. Sounds familiar. The OU series was terrible for Texas Softball. Sry, I just can't get over it. Just be competitive. Since the OU/Baylor series was earlier postponed due to Covid (Baylor), seems they will only play the DH. https://soonersports.com/sports/softball/schedule/2021
  6. Point well taken !
  7. Wish we had a midweek tuneup after the less than stellar pitching Sunday. Ok St has 2 road games this week, Tue @Wichita State and Wed @Tulsa. Pivotal series for 2d place in conf and RPI.
  8. Well said ! Any myself and many others appreciate this thread from the many knowledgeable contributors. Best thread on Surly - no bs, antics, just professional analysis.

    Srsly, how does Bianco keep his job. Rarely makes it to Omaha. I saw this chant, Miss St original ? O - M -A - H - A (Ole Miss At Home Again) Edit: Corrected
  10. Radar at game time. Click link for moving radar for more detail. https://weather.com/weather/radar/interactive/l/287f2db2e88103cd4456d8c852fac443d59ae1cb4fad0036d60b40c5becd9eaa
  11. A great one ! Thanks for posting. Thoughts and prayers for Steve and his family. As a UT senior in 1979, McMichael anchored the front line of a defense that ranks among the best in school history. He had 13 tackles in that year’s win over Oklahoma, making 1978 Heisman Trophy winner Billy Sims his personal assignment. He caused 11 fumbles and had 30 sacks for the Longhorns. McMichael is a member of the Longhorn Hall of Honor, the Texas High School Sports Hall of Fame and the Chicagoland Sports Hall of Fame. https://www.burntorangenation.com/2009/12/7/1189774/steve-mcmichael-tough-guys-get
  12. Contact Drew Bishop, Baseball Director of Operations, 512-471-9900. (that is the number listed in the staff directory). Drew was a teammate with Chance. Before, Vinny, Equipment Manager, would have been your guy. Not sure why he left. Let us know know if the current staff is helpful with tradition. https://texassports.com/sports/2013/7/29/GEN_0729135557.aspx?path=general
  13. True ! And leadoff batter for Texas St was LH (though they PH). Next 2 were RH top of the order, 4th time thru the lineup seeing Hansen. Pitch count (92). Some closers do better when they don't start the inning. Less time to think. Regardless, great for everyone for the team to come out of the dugout and greet him for an outstanding performance.
  14. Not jd, but review the RPI (Texas 13, TCU 4, 5) Winning the OKSt series on the road should move us up, perhaps to top 10. I think our RPI is hurt by our opponent's winning percentage. Fairfield (20-0) is a MAAC school in Conn that plays teams like Rider, Canisius, Iona, Quinnipiac, etc - I have no idea why they are #1. Rank Rating W L W L W L Team 1 0.670 20 0 14.0 0.0 20 0 Fairfield 2 0.640 30 6 26.4 6.6 30 6 Arkansas 3 0.624 29 8 25.7 8.6 29 8 Tennessee 4 0.623 22 8 21.4 8.0 22 8 Oregon 5 0.621 26 9 24.2 8.7 26 9 Texas Christian 6 0.617 28 6 25.6 6.6 28 6 Vanderbilt 7 0.614 26 5 20.6 4.1 26 5 East Carolina 8 0.611 23 11 20.9 11.3 23 11 Arizona 9 0.608 26 9 25.4 9.3 26 9 Louisiana Tech 10 0.607 27 8 23.1 9.8 27 8 Mississippi State 11 0.603 21 10 17.7 10.0 21 10 Oklahoma State 12 0.603 24 10 21.0 8.8 24 10 South Carolina 13 0.600 30 8 25.8 8.0 30 8 Texas 14 0.599 26 10 22.4 10.0 26 10 Mississippi 15 0.598 23 12 20.9 12.0 23 12 Southern Mississippi 16 0.595 26 8 20.6 8.0 26 8 Texas Tech 17 0.592 18 7 18.0 7.3 18 7 Notre Dame 18 0.589 25 10 21.7 9.4 25 10 North Carolina-Charlotte 19 0.587 21 11 20.1 10.7 21 11 Miami, Florida 20 0.587 20 11 20.0 11.9 20 11 Pittsburgh http://www.boydsworld.com/baseball/rpi/currentrpi.html https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/baseball/d1/rpi
  15. Jaiden Fields (Mach's post above) is Justin Field's sister. OU ahead of Georgia 12-0 after 2.5 in game 2 of the DH. At least Georgia (28-11) was prepped for game 1. 🙂
  16. 40 game win streak ended. Congrats to Coach Lu Harris and the 'Dawgs ! Nice to see a coach have their team prepared.
  17. Not sure, I read that Ty occasionally does baseball radio broadcasts for Texas St. Could possibly see him tonight on the ESPN+ broadcast. afaik, his health is great - fully recovered from colon cancer. Not sure he is still there, but after retirement he went into investor relations with a successful commercial real estate firm in San Antonio.
  18. They are doing limited seating in a smaller ballpark. Best to call Tx State @ 512-245-2272. And StubHub. In the years I have been, never have seen scalpers. Chances likely not good other than StubHub. Always a great game and venue. Game is scheduled for ESPN+.
  19. OU has run ruled 25 of 33 opponents. But even Kansas and Iowa St did not lose all 3 by run rule (6-2, 9-7). Poor preparation in all areas. Perhaps pitchers were tipping pitches. It was as if no one watched tape. Defense is last in B12 (.954) before today. No excuse for that bad defense at this point in season.
  20. Props to Ryleigh White. Good job by a Freshman in that atmosphere. (7H, 5 ER, 0 BB, 0 Ks). Tagged by the 3run HR late by a PH (maybe not aware how to pitch). She was really hurt by Parker's 2 errors, not sure about Sullivan's error. She and Shea hit 3 batters each. OU may be crowding the zone. Hope Molly Jacobsen can have success. Don't think OU has seen her. Don't know, apparently Shea may have been "hanging" her changeup which is a key pitch for her. And not locating.
  21. Looks like we will play. 6PM start.
  22. https://weather.com/weather/hourbyhour/l/c870a9297a8931c6719e2c59d9266b432ba60a12bc9a77bcfb0cf7f6f8705d49 https://twitter.com/TexasSoftball https://twitter.com/OU_Softball Rain is forecast to diminish beginning at 4PM. Depending on field conditions, game may be possible. Good to monitor twitter for updates. Game will be broadcast on SoonerSports TV, pay site. Perhaps @Machinator or @shadow_operative2 can find us a link. 🙂
  23. Norman weather. 90% chance of rain on Friday, H 54, 13mph Wind Sat, Cloudy, H 58, 15mph Wind Sun, Sunny, H 63, 11mph Wind https://weather.com/weather/weekend/l/c870a9297a8931c6719e2c59d9266b432ba60a12bc9a77bcfb0cf7f6f8705d49
  24. Bring back Joe ! If not for the Astros' cameras he would still be here.

    Saw most of the game on SECN. Kumar gave up 3HR's. Ga had 7 HR's in the game, Vandy with 4 errors. Never saw Vandy play that bad but credit Ga, looked very good.
