2022 Texas Softball - Locked and Loaded

Recommended Posts

MW's contract expires Sep '23.   This would be the year he wanted to make a run and garner an extension and pay raise like Pierce.   Doubt he will go anywhere unless he so chooses and finds someone to match his salary of 450K+.

Pitching staff has regressed so much and that is on him.   Simpson and Czech had good outings earlier.   If you see a replay of the game,  note his exchange with Simpson in the 1st inning.   She and Czech are intimidated by him instead of having their confidence/mechanics bolstered.

The following pitchers left during his tenure.   3 of the 4 were highly recruited and the type you want to stay.  Draw you own conclusions.

Chloe Romero - Cal  Ariana Adams - Syracuse Miranda Elish - OkSt Grace Green - not sure where

Above is preview of '22 class.   1 pitcher.    So the portal he will go.   Save Dolcini,  did not do well last time.   But ask yourself,  what top pitchers really want to come here  ?

Something seems to have gone pretty awry with the UO girls he brought and it seems to have affected the whole team.  And maybe White himself.  I remember seeing some quotes from some of the UO girls this season to the effect of "he's so chill now" or something that seemed odd or off.

Per Bohls, Shea is going to exercise her fifth season (at Texas). Mak Parker is hanging up her cleats to go pro in real life. 

Only those 2 seniors were eligible for a covid super senior season

We are 15th in RPI this morning.  

Still right on the cusp of hosting.  Looking at teams who could get the last 2 spots:

Texas - 37-16
UCF - 44-12
Oregon - 31-17
ND - 39-9
LSU - 34-20
Georgia - 40-15

We get Tech (RPI 78) and then OSU (7) - we really need to get over the OSU hump and secure our hosting spot.

CSM bracket 10 May.    Likely not reliable, but still have us going to Fayetteville vs Ark, Weber St, St Francis.   Only projection I can find that is free.

SEC Tournament starts tonight with aggy vs SCar in play-in game.   LSU opens with Miss St and then will likely play Tenn.   If they make a deep run would not be good.

Georgia finished 12-12 in SEC and would committee have 3 Regionals in Florida (UCF) ?

NDame opens ACC tournament Thursday vs Clemson and would then play Va Tech.   Cynic in me says committee would love a Regional in South Bend.

Can't be right. OU's shut out Bama twice alone (1997, 2016). Maybe in conference tournament.

Mizzou is good.

Probably so.    Trailer on SECN stated second time, first shutout was 2004 did not see or missed conf record only.    Thanks for the correction.

Their coach (Larissa Anderson) has really brought the team back from the issues left by Earleywine.

 

Texas 8   Tech 0   T4th

OU 5   Iowa St 0

Iowa St could not overcome a first inning grand slam by Elam.   Iowa St is close to having a good program,  hope they continue to progress.

Trautwein pitched for OU.
