[bschoolprof 6219]

6-3 putout. game over. 

[Js1 82351]

Texas wins 4-2 over a good UNT squad 

[ClubWhatever 12066]

Pretty smooth play to end it 

[bschoolprof 6219]

I'll take it. 

I thought we might blow another lead.

Fielding has been a issue for like 3 years now. I don't think White particularly cares. 

It looks like his approach is to get bats in the lineup even if that means a dip defensively. 

ffs how hard can it be to coach a college athlete on how to catch a fly ball?

[Pato del Muerto 51913]

Recruit strikeout pitchers and defense becomes a little less of a liability.

I’ve seen people posting a request for tickets on Facebook.  May be a long shot, since there’s not all that many tickets to begin with.  I’m sure there are other places to look/ask…as well.  Good luck.

Did you post in the baseball forum,  or are you referring to the softball game @ Huntsville on the 14th ?

Seems many are having to go StubHub.   

[torre 1284]

Hope they are successful in drawing support.   Begins June 15.   No mention of where they will play.

 

Excerpts:

Austin has a new professional sports team in town: The Texas Smoke, the fourth franchise team in Women’s Professional Fastpitch (WPF) softball.

The team is owned by professional athletes and couple Brandon Phillips and Jade Cargill. Phillips previously played in Major League Baseball and currently plays for the Lexington Legends. Cargill is the current and longest-reigning All Elite Wrestling champion.

The team will be coached by Tori Tyson, who is the current softball head coach at Howard University and previously an assistant coach for the Chicago Bandits, another professional fastpitch softball team.

 

The Texas Smoke’s roster includes Janae Jefferson, AnaMarie Bruni, Ciara Bryan, Jordan Dail, Marta Gasparotto, Morgan Howe, Alyssa Rivera, Samantha Show and Shelbi Sunseri.

Nothing a couple of run rules can’t solve.  

[Js1 82351]

Damn that was a great catch 

[Js1 82351]

Maloney triples in 2

2-0 Texas in the 2nd

[shadow_operative2.0 15669]

2-0, orange ladies. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15669]

Goode night. 

[perfectchaos007 6527]

Goode is a pure hitter. She's going to have a special career here.

[ClubWhatever 12066]

As a pinch runner you probably shouldn’t end the inning by being hit by a grounder.  

[Js1 82351]

Texas wins 9-3

[Vermin 3024]

down 2-0 top 3 to ULALA because of 2 errors ugh

[bschoolprof 6219]

morgan looking shaky

[bschoolprof 6219]

[ClubWhatever 12066]

That was a bomb.  Probably 230 or so.

[shadow_operative2.0 15669]

Fuck, don't do this. 

[Js1 82351]

Martinez just hesitated a half second too long 

[shadow_operative2.0 15669]

Yay, finally. 

[Js1 82351]

Texas wins 6-2. Day bombed away and Citlaly was great in relief 

2 games tomorrow, but not Louisiana until Sunday 

[perfectchaos007 6527]

Courtney, have yourself a....Day

[Js1 82351]

McNeese 12pm

Princeton 2:30pm

We will see if we start on time with McNeese and Tenn St starting at 9:30am

[Js1 82351]

Of our 9 players with 30+ ABs, 7 of them  have at least 1 HR (two slappers Popelka and Maloney do not). 5 players have at least 2, and 2 players have 4

On pace for 70 HR if we play 70 games again. Had 68 in 70 games last year.

5 of those 9 players are hitting over .400 (KC, Martinez, Goode, Scott and Maloney). 2 true freshman, 1 RS FR and 2 sophomore

Czech starts against McNeese

I've been pleasantly surprised by our power.  It's better than I thought it would be.

Brandon goes yard. 1-0 Texas, bottom 3rd

Let’s go (Baylea) Brandon! She should be getting the PH opportunities over Whitaker 

Edited March 4, 2023 by Js1

[Js1 82351]

I absolutely knew Mike was going to send Maloney. It was not a good send.

At least Goode got to 3rd

[Js1 82351]

Oof. Goode thrown out at 3rd on a bad double steal. Freshman mistake 

But Martinez brings in Scott. 2-0 Texas

White and Pierce definitely keep skipping those seminars on base running 

[bschoolprof 6219]

Listening to Cat praise our offense is a little sad.  If only she had better run support back in the day.
