    Pro-tip: If you're going to call someone out then provide examples of why what I said is wrong. Nobody has done that so far..

    The examples you are looking for are literally scattered throughout multiple post on this site. It's ok to be wrong, just accept it and try harder next time.

    Perhaps lost in the leaving early nonsense was Stewie breaking out of her slump.  She had two monster hits.

    If we could just get Atwood out of her slump.  She's whiffing on fastballs right over the plate. 

    I'm hopeful a few of the bats waking up just a bit will give us the mojo we need for everyone to start hitting.  

    Was nice to see Stewart hit a few balls hard. Atwood’s issue is the same issue many of the girls are having….they are trying to pull every pitch.

    what a game!!  

     

    Reviews are killing softball though.  It's such a beating they have to change.  

    What is needed is umpires that don’t blow 4-6 calls every game. IMHO, reviews would go down if the overturn rate went down. If I was a coach, I would challenge something every time the opposing team scored a big run.

    Hopefully,  the sweep of OkSt last year at McCombs will lead to confidence and victory in Stillwater.   

      Went back and looked at the schedule.   Atwood had a game winning single in the 8th in game 1 (1-0) and a game winning 3 run HR in the bottom of the 7th in game 2 (3-2).   Game 3, 5-2.    Mac pitched game 1,  Citlaly game 2,  and Czech game 3.     We will introduce Teagan Kavan this year.    And Mitchell and Stewart.

    Kenny G is a good coach and will find a way to pressure our defense,  perhaps with small ball.    That said,  Ok St has hit 44 HRs to our 43.

    Kenny is from the Tim Walton school of coaching. He would rather hope for a 3 run HR than play small ball and manufacture runs. Texas can compete with anyone in the country, but I am a bit concerned that Stewart has cooled off considerably and Reese has come back to earth a bit as well. We are going to need TK and Mac to show up big time this weekend.

    Semolina flour is what many places use. Honestly, I started using parchment paper and it’s a game changer.  No more sticking period.  Yes it gets a little dark at 500 deg but just throw it away. 

    This is the trick. I use parchment on the Green Egg pizza stone and have never had an issue. Pizza never sticks and paper never burns.

    There are rumors that the Patriots don't like Maye and don't rate him as a first rounder. If the Commies take Daniels then the Pats might trade out of the spot rather than roll the dice on one of the others. 

    and as a former fourth round pick. 

    Reverse Katfid....they are scarred from the Mac Jones debacle.

    Well BYU is looking like a contender for last.

    Maybe if their coach wasn't a dipshit, the team would play better. I have been following softball for 30 years and have never had this much trouble trying to keep up with line up changes, and substitutions. 

     

    As far as the towel goes, the gorilla towel is allowed, but my guess is she had added extra rosin or pine tar to the rag. The coach had a hard time wiping his hand after taking the towel from her.

    Some dude posted a link to the weight differences from last year to this year over at OTF:

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Bxb5zfOTGbuXkUCVIcAzAWYuA6fItA9O6VTsX9tutbU/edit?pli=1#gid=0

    We have 4 guys at 360 or over. That's ridiculous. Sydir Mitchell is not a "good" 372. Sweat could have played with less weight too, so whatever. 

    Red at 240 is disturbing. They are going to have to change the name of Redcat to Redfat.

    Red is going to look like Gary Coleman out there. We need to immediately stop all NIL deals with Cane's.

  9. Sydir suffers from endurance issues, and was supposedly using last year to get into shape....He gained 35 lbs????? His getting in shape routine must be similar to mine.

    So last night they showed Baylea Brandon and Alyssa Popelka in the OF watching the game.  Love having some players we wanted to stick around still showing support!

    Though I thought Popelka was going to UW - she isn't on the roster. UW announced her signing on July 31.  Wonder what happened there...

    Popelka's mother is battling cancer. Wouldn't be shocked to hear she stayed home to be close to her.

  11. Maybe Arch and the Manning's are going to come out with their own video game, based on the Manning passing academy. Maybe Arch doesn't want to be a back up video game QB. Maybe I don't give a shit and will buy the game anyways.

    Gonna guess Kavan is starting. This is their best start in a long time. Monday evening softball is nice 😎 

    Agreed on the hot start....

     

    Kavan has been better than I had hoped, and has the looks of a legitimate staff ace

    Atwood has elevated her game to an entirely different level and should be in all conversations for POY this season

    Stewart has adjusted quickly to collegiate pitching and seems to hit the ball hard every AB

    Goode is starting to look like the player she was last year and now White has to find a way to get them all in the line up.

    Mitchell has proven to be a solid portal pick up, but she may be the odd man out by the time this line up is settled

    Scott's speed is a must in the order, but she makes us worse where ever she plays defensively

    Henry has been really solid at the top of the order and can run, slap, and hit for power

    Dayton is back to looking like she did her first season on the Horns, and is a spark plug on offense

     

    This roster has so much positional versatility along with speed and power. It must make Coach White feel like he has 35 girls on the roster.
