  1. All great points. I've wondered why Joley — who has among the best hands and steadiest focus of anyone on the team — was relegated to a defensive position a couple others could play well enough. I understand initially not wanting to move multiple players when Vivi got hurt, but it didn't take long to see Bennett was an issue at 2B. Trying to fix that problem with Stewie at SS and Goode at 2B clearly proved much worse overall. Last night was the most egregious example, but it's been building toward that kind of fiasco for way too long. If we fans could see all of this over the course of a few months, I'm not sure why there wasn't more urgency in seeking a real solution. I can only blame the HC for not only failing to shuffle the remaining pieces better but also for not having recruited enough backup talent to bridge the gap. Those are his jobs. It will be interesting (hopefully not depressing) to see who's playing where tonight. Regardless of the lineup, I'd be tempted not to let Hunter even suit up.
  2. Look on the bright side: We can't possibly play any worse. Let's just not go out tomorrow and prove we can.
  3. Honestly can't say that's a bad call. Really close. Not sure what other play Stewie had, but their runner did a great job.
  4. Great throw. Credit where due.
  5. Do it, Stewie. Do it.
  6. I suspect Joley's D is way underrated by most fans.
  7. Her changeup really needs to be the out pitch tonight. It's way better than it was a few weeks ago. She and White just have to trust it.
  8. Here's where TK has to be special.
  9. With all these hayseed histrionics, if they win I fully expect a dogpile.
  10. Nate Sneadowicz?
  11. I thought we were in the 8th. My bad. But I still don't want to see Volantis.
  12. Get a lead and let Grubbs finish. Don't let them see Volantis until Omaha.
  13. I like the cut of Ethan's jib. What an outstanding performance.
  14. HBP? I thought he swung.
  15. What he meant was, "Kaeden Kent plays in the SEC, which makes his dad the greatest offensive second baseman to ever play."
  16. Hope he doesn't self-destruct in 5 seconds.
  17. Great rundown. Thanks for the compilation. Despite Vivi's loss, we've had another really solid overall season. To me it just doesn't feel quite as good as it's been, in part because there was reason to think we'd quickly fill the void left by OU's departing seniors. Hopefully we still end up doing just that in OKC, but so far, our inability to replace their dominance has magnified every weakness we've shown. An SEC schedule of course is a huge reason for that. The good news? Unlike certain other elite teams, we're still standing. And now that Stewie and Goode are hitting well and even Bennett is showing signs of life, there's reason to be encouraged about what's still ahead. TK's much better use of offspeed pitches lately also has been a big help. I know White will throw her until her arm falls off, and I won't blame him too much for doing it, but we have to hope at least one of the other pitchers also answers the call. Maybe a strategic relief mix of Cit, Cam, Sophia and Mac (in that order of usage?) will give us enough. I'm trying not to worry about 2026 until 2025 is over. That said, I'll be at least as interested in what we do with our pitching coach as with the pitching roster itself.
  18. How to make the Top 4: Play your home games in a backwater state full of hayseeds. Maybe aggy can relocate to Shreveport.
  19. Some wins you maybe don't deserve, but the other team deserves them even less. So take the W and don't look back. It goes the other way far too often.
  20. Whatever switch suddenly got flipped, we need to super glue it in the "on" position. Honestly, I still don't expect a title this year, due to our pitching, defense and the fact there are several other potent offenses out there...but if we can get to OKC and win a game or two, for me that will be a decent finish. The supers should be intriguing.
  21. Aggy: "Give me Liberty AND give me death."
  22. Today we are all Flames.
