I don’t know how every team doesn’t throw their change up pitchers against us and have them throw it 80% of the time.  We just watch them until 2 strikes.

This.  I'm baffled as to why White and Singleton haven't caught onto this and changed our strategy.  Sit on that shit and take it out of the park.

Teagan saved us on that one.  Simpson can command her changeup and that's about it.  I think it's in her head now.  

Yep. She was either in the dirt or about 6 inches above the batter’s head

TK slams the door. Texas wins 3-1 and sweeps 

UCF has been in games all year against top teams. Results don’t surprise me this weekend. They’re tough and a sweep is good.

great series sweep.

On to Okie State.  Tough stretch coming up and we'll really find out what kinda team we have.

 

 

Don’t forget it’s Thursday to Saturday because of Easter Sunday. Feels like normally we play OU on that week but not this year 

Thursday 6

Friday 7 (ESPN2)

Saturday 1

LSU is 2-4 since they beat us in BR 

Ole Miss - WLL
Mizzou - LLW

Doesn't get much easier for the Tigahs - aggy, @ Florida, Auburn, ULL midweek, @ Tenn, @ ULL midweek, Arky, Liberty and then the SEC tournament.  Looks like they miss Georgia, SC and Alabama this year.

Also hard to state how big this trip to Stillwater is -

Texas is a game behind OU and a game up on OSU and KU

OU 9-0
Texas 8-1
OSU 7-2
KU 7-2

Need 2 of 3 at a minimum, not just to stay ahead of OSU but to have a chance when we host OU and try to get 2/3 in that series.  If we want to win the Big 12.  Really curious to see KU host OU this weekend.

Mike is 1-5 against OSU in Stillwater.  This might be the last time we play there for a while.

This feels like the first year we are the better team though

Hopefully,  the sweep of OkSt last year at McCombs will lead to confidence and victory in Stillwater.   

  Went back and looked at the schedule.   Atwood had a game winning single in the 8th in game 1 (1-0) and a game winning 3 run HR in the bottom of the 7th in game 2 (3-2).   Game 3, 5-2.    Mac pitched game 1,  Citlaly game 2,  and Czech game 3.     We will introduce Teagan Kavan this year.    And Mitchell and Stewart.

Kenny G is a good coach and will find a way to pressure our defense,  perhaps with small ball.    That said,  Ok St has hit 44 HRs to our 43.

Kenny is from the Tim Walton school of coaching. He would rather hope for a 3 run HR than play small ball and manufacture runs. Texas can compete with anyone in the country, but I am a bit concerned that Stewart has cooled off considerably and Reese has come back to earth a bit as well. We are going to need TK and Mac to show up big time this weekend.

Good points.   I share your concern about Stewart.   She did not play Saturday against UCF and only relieved Atwood to catch Simpson in the 5th on Sunday.   Perhaps the rest will help.   Very small sample size,  but Stewart and Atwood are hitting .286 and .222 respectively with 1 HR each in conference play.

Ok St plays Missouri St today at 4:30, ESPN+.    Glad we are off.

Unfortunately it’s a really bad weekend to go against so much other shit. 

Yeah, that too.  Opening Day for baseball, Sweet 16/Elite 8 for both men and women, college baseball.

Changeup once again has our hitters totally lost. 

Yep. And I truly enjoy listening to these two bit commentators roast our defense. No idea how Mike isn’t embarrassed by that

Hasn’t been a good day for any of my teams. 
 

Thank God the girls basketball game is tomorrow, 

 

hopefully we can bounce back tomorrow and win the match Saturday. This one seems over

Kevan is a freshman but she has to develope some big ones if she’s going to be our big game pitcher

Someone has to remind this team you may be a top 8 seed now, but you can play your way out of that 

Committee will be looking for reasons to not allow 3 big12 teams in the top 8. If we lose both series to OKST and OU we may be playing another road super regional like last year which didn’t work out well for us

We're playing as though our resume is complete and we're just knocking around waiting for the postseason. Not good.
