  1. It’s almost like starting the same pitcher 3 days in a row against the same team is a bad idea.
  2. I truly think she was injured, but yes her arm was dead and she pitched on pure guts and adrenaline.
  3. Exactly. Pitchers don’t really lose velocity, they they Lose accuracy. The loss of accuracy is due to fatigue in the lower half of the body. Mental fatigue also comes into play.
  4. She has a great arm….thats where it ends with Atwood. There is a reason there are not many 6’1 lanky fast pitch catchers. She can get better framing, but I have doubts she will ever be a plus blocker, especially on the ball in the dirt right at her.
  5. Out of this whole thread and all the shitty analysis, you sir win for the worst post. Do you really think that the game situation doesn’t help dictate who pitches? White did this exact same thing against Tennessee in a non elimination game just a few days ago….AND IT WORKED. If Tech had 5 more games, they would throw Canafy in all of them because they don’t have anyone else capable of getting outs. The fielding cost Texas this game. If you want to blame the coaches for that, so be it. Canady will be tough again tonight, because she is a great player, but I like our chances with a fresher Kavan.
  6. Is it because she looks like Xavier Worthy?
  7. Vic Hunter swinging around every ball. Rolling over on the outside pitch always ends up in weak ground balls.
  8. Kavan won’t pitch unless we have a lead or the game stays tied for a few more innings.
  9. She signaling two outs
  10. If it was a biscuit Mac would’ve got it
  11. They are seeing the ball better tonight. Some good swings in the 1st inning
  12. I said it was the right call last night and got crucified. It is a complete shit rule and the runner was out by 10 feet, but as soon as it went to review I knew it would be overturned. Thank jeebus that the call did not decide the outcome
  13. according to the handy weather ap on my phone, the weather is supposed to be done in OKC between 6-7. Maybe a delay, but it does not look like a cancellation to me.
  14. Okay, back to the actual game tonight. I do think we see Mac to start, as Mike has that luxury and she earned that right vs. Tennessee. I hope they have her in a private room at the hotel with an endless supply of Mt Dew, sour patch kids and little Debbie snacks, so we see her at her absolute best.
  15. very true...now how many other teams who have never done shit in the history of the sport have a donor willing to throw a million bucks away?
  16. I could make the argument that we are close to having rock solid evidence that a million dollar player in softball is not going to win a title either. LOL
  17. Because average players in a big revenue sport (ie football) would want at least that amount and they would use her pay as leverage to get it. Everyone, including Canady, knows that the 1 million dollars was a one off. She will get paid, I assume by Tech, but I also would be shocked if it is a million dollars again....especially if it doesn't end in a National Championship.
  18. Hunter is going to be a great slow pitch player in a co -ed league some day. She has a very long swing which is why she can't handle anything middle in. Out over the plate, ball go far. Inside or up and in...bat is scared.
  19. I think all the power 4 schools should be okay. Fully funded scholarships are a game changer for the bat and ball sports. Getting a 100% scholarship is better than most have been getting in NIL for the bottom 1/2 of the roster. Back in the day, pitchers and big power bats got all the real money and the other 20 odd players on the roster split 9 or 10 scholarships. My daughter was very fortunate in that she got 80% her freshman year, and then bumped to 100% for her final 3 seasons. Most of these kids are paying for school to play a game.
  20. Next year when all scholarships are fully funded, I would prefer Mike use that money on someone who can actually play they game that they are here for. There will be lots of small, fast kids in the portal that can lay down a bunt or get the occasional start in the field.
  21. I'm all for VH or KC in the lineup. They both have the ability to accidentally run into one and get a HR. VQ is fun to look at, and not much else and I'm not sure how Adaya Wallace is on this team.
  22. If she plays in this series, things have either gone incredibly well for Texas or the wheels have completely fallen off.
  23. CoachWhite's daughter was a pitcher at Stanford under coach Rittman. She apparently led a charge to the AD to report Rittman for being a hardass. (ironic in that her dad was long rumored to be one of the hardest asses in coaching). Coach Rittman was eventually ran out of town and Standford Softball wandered the desert for several years. Rittman is a really good coach, used to assist with National Team, and now at Clemson where I have heard of zero complaints about this treatment of players. I have attached to formal complaints and Rittman's staff rebuttals to the claims. Looks like a bunch of whiny ass kids and over involved parents to me.
