  1. He’s amazing in this role.
  2. We need some power hitters in corner outfield. Badly. I’m not convinced we will ever consistently have a good defense under White. We need to sell out on power.
  3. haha - no. She's a mess at the plate with really bad discipline.
  4. Mike praising our defense so much this week has jinxed us. I think we've reverted back to our mean.
  5. great start. as good as we could have hoped for. make them press.
  6. I actually thought our primary breakdown last night was more mental than effort-based, at least in the beginning. We started pressing early at the plate and in the field, and then it snowballed, and after that, mentally and emotionally, it was over. There's no coming back against OU unless it's a run or two - their offense is just too good. Take the first inning. OU pitcher is struggling with command and has walked several batters. Smith comes up and swings at the first thing she sees - it's up in the zone and she pops out to end the inning - that's pressing and not playing smart. You gotta work the count there. Then, in the bottom frame, Dolcini was not doing that badly. She had several batters in favorable 2 strike counts, but those girls can hit and they guessed and executed perfectly. Take the first baserunner for example. I recall Dolcini had her 0-2. My call would have been a screwball off the plate to see if she would chase. Hailey did exactly that and threw a great pitch - it was off the plate and the batter chased . . . she just made a great swing (probably looking for that pitch) and ripped it for a double. Sometimes you just have to tip the cap to a great piece of hitting. Even the HR to Alo wasn't a bad pitch - it was in up on the hands, but Alo is a monster. Ok, 2-1, game not over. Then we started pressing in the field, not taking the easy outs. That's when it snowballed, and Dolcini starting losing it - the 2nd HR was a meatball. After that, the game was effectively over. There's no coming back from 5-1 against this OU team. OSU, yes. Not OU. The key is you have to play them close early and make them press - they are not used to that. Easier said than done tho.
  7. Tough to watch. Feel bad for Dolcini. Still a huge Bella fan.
  8. We’ve come so far. Yet it feels we are so far from them.
  9. we saved up all our errors for this game.
  10. I'm expecting 2 losses (have been since Seattle), but especially now because fuck OU, but they are legitimately stacked. But who knows. Anything's possible.
  11. My kids are dudes and play baseball. I just like watching softball too.
  12. is it on netflix or amazon?
  13. But I think that only emerged recently (end of season 2). Seems like the supes could just take over the company, and should have done so long ago. Who's to stop them?
  14. ha - bella's from DFW. I'd love to see Mike parlay this team's success into a bit more national recruiting like OU does. Yes, Texas is a hotbed of talent. But we should be able to look far and wide with our brand.
  15. Morgan Day, one of OSU's pitchers, has talked quite a bit about being a late bloomer, which is more rare for girls than boys. She therefore ended up at a smaller school, and transferred to OSU for her last year.
  16. I don't have any real analysis to add, but bella's legal to drink now. Also, I have a thing for bella.
  17. Y’all are welcome. Also, we stand no chance against OU.
  18. It's been a real focal point of the umps in the postseason. Try to be as bad as possible.
