    Interesting that someone noted how familiar the Texas and aggy rosters are with each other, plus they played twice last year as well. 

    • Bella and Riley Wiggins played HS ball together at Wylie
    • Atwood was Kennedy's catcher in travel ball, so they are very familiar and probably why Reese had so much success against her (3 hits, 3 walks, 2 HBP against Kennedy in 3 games) 
    • Scott, Goode, Henry, CG, SS for Texas and Coleman, Williams and Jones for aggy all played travel ball together
    • Wooley, Washington and Hunter all played travel ball together
    • Ford coached Mac for a year at ASU

    Katie Cimunz Actually caught her more, she was on the same team every year.  Washington didn't play with Wooley and Hunter, she played on a DFW team of the same organization.

     

    Also Mia Scott committed to A&M as an 8th grader, then the no contact before junior rule came about.  We hired MIke White and Steve Singleton and they flipped her kinda late.

    It's easier said than done.  These girls have been taught their entire lives to leave when the pitcher's arm reaches a certain spot on the watch dial, such that they leave just when the ball is released; relying purely on the human eye, this is fine.  But once you start slowing things down frame by frame, you realize they sometimes actually leave a hair early.  Who really gives a shit? Especially in a game where something far more important - the strike zone - moves around inning to inning.  If it's imperceptible in real time, there's no way it's affecting the fielders on a hit or conferring any kind of significant advantage (except on a steal).  

    Don't get me wrong . . . it should still be illegal, in order to discourage runners from playing games as in a hit and run or get a jump to score on a single.  But base umps have always watched out for this and it's never been a problem in the game until we started going down to the microsecond.  It should be policed with the eye, not replay IMO.  I think's that's in keeping with the spirit of the game and the rule. 

    Also harder on second base  because you don't see the angles of the release because you're kinda shielded.

  3. Home games are fun again, got 5 memorial day cups from Brooke.   Lets trade Chas.  Fat Valdez is best Valdez.  I knew we would win when Valdez gave up the first hit and didn't turn and heave and just accepted it.

    Michella Chester, who does the NCAA’s softball social media, is picking Texas to win it all

    I would guess Reese is going to be first team AA. TK, Stewie and Henry could and should be freshman AAs. Of the rest of our team, Citlaly and Scott could land on an AA team as well 

    Think Scott may make it as a utility player, White did the thing where you start her in OF then move her to 3rd before the first pitch to get her credit for starts in multiple positions.
