  1. Singleton is well liked by the team, and is generally a nice guy. This was 2 days worth of frustration boiling over. Now go start a softball 2023 thread so we have something new to talk about.
  2. You dug through 10 pages to pull a post from the first game discussion to ask ME if I even watched? Are you new here?
  3. I hope Bijan pancakes her boy toy again this year
  4. I compared them earlier to Alabama football, but I just had lunch with a softball oldtimer who made a far better comparison. Oklahoma is Tiger Woods in his prime. He was beatable, if someone played great and he had an off weekend....but if he showed up with his A game, it didn't make a shit what anyone else did, he was winning and he was winning convincingly. Last night, he had his A game, and we couldn't hit a fairway or putt to save our lives. That's why he beat us by 15 strokes. Hopefully, tonight he finds the rough a couple of times and we can hang in there.
  5. They need to stay off social media and quit arguing with nobody OU fans about shit....I'm looking at you Mary and Haley.
  6. If May enters the portal, Patty will immediately grab Storako from Michigan. Hell, she is trying to get her anyway. As they say, the rich get richer.
  7. OU is the softball recruiting equivalent to Alabama football. All bets are off the table once that offer comes in. Almost a guaranteed shot at OKC and a NC if you go there.
  8. I just heard from a reliable source that 3 Florida players are in the portal, and more may be joining soon. My guess is OSU and UCLA will meet with their team this week also, so we could see some movement on those rosters also. I am keeping my eyes on a few of these OU girls also, especially Grace Green. McKenzie Donahue the LF from last years OU team is in the portal already as well.
  9. I like Mia at 3B, because of her athletic ability guarding against the short game. However, Rachel Cid is a good player and could certainly plug in defensively somewhere on this infield. IMHO, Texas needs to be portal hunting for two things, a legitimate front line pitcher (which are hard to find), and a power bat. That bat can play corner OF or corner IF. We have lots of speed coming back, and while I love the short game, the fact is, you have to be able to score runs in bunches these days. Storako is still my #1 pitching choice, however I am told things are not trending well there. She is playing the NIL game, so maybe there is hope for us if money can be found. Teams just leaving the WCWS are now conducting exit interviews, so new names may be entering the portal shortly.
  10. L 0-3 L 1-9 W 4-2 L 2-7 L 1-16 That's 5 games against OU this year for us. In our previous four games, they had outscored us by 17 runs total. I don't give a shit who they run ruled the first 20 games of the season. By your reasoning, Texas should have taken the 2nd place trophy after beating OSU and moved on with their summer.
  11. I have watched just about every televised game this season, and every inning of the post season regardless of teams. I attend as many games as possible in person, including the entire St. Pete/Clearwater invitational, and I coached at the highest level of travel ball for 14 years. If you think those intangibles are BS, I would suggest that maybe you are the one who hasn't watched many games, or maybe you never played sports. Texas played soft and uninterested last night, regardless of opponent. They played with a lack of intensity, and couldn't make routine plays. If you think Alyssa Washington's and Mia Scott's inability to catch a thrown ball are a direct reflection of OU's greatness, then I don't know what to tell you. Same could be said for JJ Smith swinging wildly at first pitches following a walk. OU's team is loaded, and maybe the best offensive team of all time, but history this season shows that they are not 15 runs better than this Horns team.
  12. I've never really understood playing scared in a non combat/contact sport. I mean all of these players know each other and played against each other their entire lives thru travel ball and now at college. What the hell is there to be scared of?
  13. Ok, so I am mostly disappointed by the Horns total lack of fight. This was the team I saw in Clearwater. Several times, we had kids swinging freely immediately after a walk was issued. We played defense like the softball was a hand grenade, our pitchers couldn't hit their spots, and our hitters couldn't hit their asses with both hands. It was embarrassing to watch, so I can't imaging how it felt for the players on the field. Unfortunately, only one of those groups can do anything about it. We will see tonight if they have any fight left in them or if they are just happy to be there.
  14. She could hit for them, but she ain’t starting at 2B. Iakopo is better than either of their catchers
  15. Is this game being played in Clearwater
  16. I know this seems like a lost cause, but we are not out of it. Get 3 outs and go score a couple. Pressure flows both ways
  17. Dolcini only has spin left, as she has lost a lot of velocity. When you are over amped, you throw thru the spin. Both pitchers had this issue, we got 1 run, they got 5. The difference is Trautwine missed out of the zone and Dolcini missed fat
  18. Score first, score early, and score often. Now we need a shutdown inning from Dolcini
  19. You can not swing at the 1st pitch there
  20. I’m a little surprised, I thought he would start Czech.
  21. The only way I know of online is The ESPN ap
