Texas Softball 2024 - Farewell to the Big 12 (and back to OKC?)

Statesman.   Excerpts:     Article worth a read,  player quotes and coachspeak.   

Interesting to see if he goes with Mac in game 1 to take pressure off Kavan.    Mac took a 3-1 lead into the 7th last year but gave up a tying HR to Coleman.  Citilaly relieved and gave up hits.

 

“We're hoping that whatever happens here (this weekend) prepares us for even later in the season,” White said. “We can't win or lose the national championship this weekend.”

“I mean, she (Morgan) has been there and done that before,” he said. “This is her third year, and she’s been in those big situations. Estelle is another one that's been there. Obviously, it's tough for a freshman like Kavan to be able to come out in that situation, but it's also a learning thing for her, too.”

I think she hit a freshman wall once she saw high end D1 pitching.  

It happens. It’s on her and the coaching staff to make adjustments

Unfortunately, our offense sucks pretty bad so the pitcher really doesnt matter. We score like 2 runs a game against good pitchers lol. 

Ion think they suck. We’re just young and Oklahoma is really good

Yeah, we can't even bunt properly.  The wheels have come off the hitting bus for this team.

It is hard to remember, based on early season results, we are still mostly freshman and sophomores

We werent exactly lighting up Houston or UCF. OSU and LSU shut us the fuck down. The warning signs have been evident for a while. This team has the potential to be #1 but have been playing like a #10 recently. Sad to see how lost they look trying to hit.

Hitting >>> Arms in terms of concerns for this team.  We've been in a long slow decline at the plate for some time now.   

Facing real pitchers lately has accentuated our flaws. They don't serve up the meat we feasted on earlier.

We won't be truly elite until we have a true ace on the mound. Kavan probably becomes one, but we need more big arms. Of course, it won't matter if we can't hit.

a tale as old as time.

If not aware,   Florida is hosting LSU at 5PM (CT) scheduled on ESPN before our 7PM game.   Meaning the broadcast will likely start on the ESPN App.   Per the schedule,  ESPN2 and ESPN News have college baseball.     Pray for a no hitter in Gainesville.   Weather is good.

 

Edit:   ESPN+ shows a simultaneous broadcast with ESPN
