  1. This team got complacent after that suffocating defensive performance against Gonzaga, got punched squarely in the mouth early in this game, and have shown very little fight since getting way behind.
  2. Shooting 39% from the field. Take Holle's 6-7 out of it and we're at 33%. Many of those have been in close too.
  3. Oh my. Momma Holle is hot. Shay's going to go from dime to older dime.
  4. Booker is 4-14 from the field and is just jacking up shots like she's trying to pad stats. She's not even useful as a decoy. I've noticed she doesn't feed Holle much. Shay's 6-7 and needs to get some open looks from the 3pt line.
  5. They can't stay this hot forever and we'll start finding the basket, but we had better stay within striking distance or it's over.
  6. We can't get anything to fall. Living and dying off of the put backs. Their guards are WAY too fast for us. Holle is even having trouble with their quickness and she's one of the better defenders in the league.
  7. Sounded like she was shrieking pretty loudly unless that was a fan the mic picked up. Thinking a blown out knee.
  8. I like how Holle always seems to contribute in the exact way they need her too. Lock down defense every game, and works off the ball to allow the scorers to score. But when they need her to score points, she'll drop 10-15 with some 3pt shots. Very good shooter, but doesn't try to take over unless they need it. Just plays the needed role.
  9. NC State is no slouch, but Stanford getting knocked out is very good for us. I think we match up well against LSU, USC, and probably even Iowa (put Holle on Clark all game). Not sure anyone can beat South Carolina, but Stanford was also going to be tough too.
  10. Here comes the big whiff to end it.
  11. Just walked in the door and saw the game stats. SP goes 8 innings and the boys are hitting again. Pitching and defense are half of "score more runs than they do." Hitting is the other half. Of all the games/scores* posted in the Big 12 Baseball thread ... Only 31% of the games could have been won with 3 runs (meaning the losing team scored 0, 1, or 2 runs; example: OU over Wright St. 20-0 counts because 3 or fewer runs still would have won). In 69% of the games, the losing team scored at least 3 runs (requiring >3 to win). *Quick count, so I might be off a couple in either direction. Roughly 220 games/scores or so; sample size is probably somewhat representative of college baseball as a whole.
  12. Once again, I said nothing about defense. You're arguing about defense with a guy who said nothing about defense. As for why, your shitty internet-aggressive comments are the biggest indicator of your puzzling need to get chippy from safely behind your keyboard. As for your pissy little attitude...grow the fuck up. I've tried to gently redirect you, but you seem to need to puff up continually and act like a dipshit. If you talk to people like that in person, you'll be tolerated for a little while as one would tolerate an immature kid who can't control his mouth, then you'll get slapped the fuck across the room.
  13. What I actually said: I said the offense was anemic and a problem. I never said anything about defense and I certainly didn't deny that it isn't a separate/additional problem, so I have no idea what you're continuing to try to argue. You're arguing against a straw man you built. The smart ass comment at the end we can just ignore for now. You look silly enough as it is.
  14. Who said the two are mutually exclusive? We scored 3 runs. In college baseball, it's tough to consistently churn out wins with anemic offense - even with good defense.
  15. Another long outing by LBJ completely wasted by piss poor undisciplined hitting. Nobody even thought about hitting to all fields. Just pull/yank/swing-and-miss all F'n night.
  16. Rodney Terry putting on a coaching clinic.
  17. Flores was late on the FB, so he came back with a slider that put Flores right on time. I'll take it, but that's a head scratcher.
  18. Just swinging for the fences...
  19. The stats link in the OP sends you to the final for the 9-2 to Texas A&M. Thanks for that reminder...
  20. Gotcha, thanks. I missed most of the game, but caught the tail end and was quite surprised when Powell took his mask off after hosing the runner at 2nd. Powell looked pretty damn comfortable back there too. I get that he's a catcher-turned-3B, but still.
  21. Seriously asking since I guessed I completely missed it yesterday or today...I know Galvan hurt his thumb and can't catch, so Schuessler has been behind the plate. He can't catch the ball for shit, but he's thrown out a few and has been hitting alright. What happened to get Powell at catcher?
