I thought KB was out of eligibility 

She’s a junior this year

TAMUCC in 2023 and ACU in 2024

Mia was one hit away from the Texas record for BA in a season. If she had one more hit instead of a walk or out, she’d have it. Will tie with Janae for a .446 season average 

So Impressive. With two knees she might actually have done it.

Seriously, I can't imagine Mia's right knee is mangled, but still. The fact she didn't appear to even favor it is one of the wildest things I've seen in athletic competition. Move it on over, Kerri Strug.

Their kid’s poor ACLs

That's what I was thinking. Let's sign their kids but don't even think about redshirting them. Play them before their knees explode. 

Hopefully CJ got a buy one get one free coupon to give Mia

IIRC, Joe neuwendyk played the Stanley cup playoffs for Dallas with a torn acl in 1999 when they won the cup.  No idea what the specifics are of some of these injuries that allow for continued use/play before surgery.

Picking nits but it shoulda been co-mvps between Kavan and Scott. Both were outta their minds. Scott was more consistent, with Kavan leaking oil a tad in the 2nd game and at the end of the 3rd a little

If TK didn’t go 5-0 with a save and a 0.00 ERA, Mia could have gotten it. But TK was way more impressive

I can’t insta stalk her without an account- does she have any pics that show off her full left arm and shoulder so I can get a good sense of the artwork?

I do like to remind everyone (myself included) that Mia was not that good at 3rd her first couple years, she was playing the OF quite a bit. Mia’s development is a testament to what Stewie could eventually be.  She got the arm for sure. 

My portal priorities:

Lefty pitcher

1B/DP

Potentially another OF

 

I'm not saying it would happen but if we had a good enough lineup that Stewart could be DP that would be the ultimate.  I'd rather have more speed in the outfield. Even though 1B/3B are much different than SS Stewart playing infield obviously hurt her hitting.

she does have a great arm but think about being able to afford having Stewart play DP because you are so solid everywhere else.  Maybe she doesn't play DP all the time and spot plays at 1B and OF.

Zero earned runs. The leaking you are speaking of was the defense. 

Last night in the top of the 5th, the team was on the mound and I said TK is probably telling the infielders “I’m going to murder each of you except for you, MFS… MFS , you are welcome to watch or join in… your choice. “

Logical. And maybe that happens. But with Henry in CF, along with expected additions to the IF, I suspect next year we'll see Stewie in LF a ton. She might never have a defensive inning to match the 7th last night (who ever does?), but I'd be surprised if her arm and courage don't keep her out there. That big bat is a given.

Stewie can play left just fine it seems. We can cheat Henry if needed as mentioned above, and the number of plays that she wouldn’t make that a quicker outfielder would make is a small number.

For how many errors there were on the infield, the outfield did a pretty good job this season- the combination of Maloney, Henry, and Stewart in the outfield had only one error

Didn't Stewart play some first last year?   I don't remember much about her not being able to get it done there.  She won't need the range there that she needs at short....and no throws to 1B if you are playing it.   I know she played some 3rd as well.    

Another year of offseason workouts and S&C would do her well.   Hopefully she doesn't blow up.

I think Baxter might have some pics.

Glasco said basically the same thing in his press conference…admitted he plans on working on having more pitchers pitch and not over-using Canady…as it was a factor in the loss….said our players seeing her for a 3rd day was also a big factor.

And yet he would have been crucified if he had not started her in either the 2nd or 3rd game and gave up a bunch of runs, despite all the chirping about how she was tired.   He was in a can't win situation.

That’s why winning game 1 was so crucial.

When have a 1-trick pony, eventually it doesn't matter how great the trick is...you either have to add another trick or find a new audience. Glasco wasn't in position to do either last night.

Nieuwendyk tore his ACL after a dirty hit by Bryan Marchment in the first game of the first series of the 1998 playoffs and missed the rest of the Stars' run that year. His recovery forced him to miss the beginning of the 1998-99 season but played the entire '99 playoffs and won the Conn Smythe as the Stars hoisted the Cup.

Modano, however, played several of the Finals games against Buffalo with a broken wrist IIRC.

This is not what you were saying on this website on Thursday.

I overestimated Canady's capabilities, thought she could bring the heat in Game 3. Still think we win this in 2 games if we had gone to Kavan for Game 2. But I digress.

Lost in the shuffle and bed wetting yesterday was Berzon from LSU chose Oklahoma.

Gasso gets her rent-an-ace

Mike and co developed the shit out this title team. Reese, TK, Mia, Henry, Stewie, Goode, Maloney, Cam. Only Joley (ND), Mac (ASU) and KB (ACU) were the transfers who helped us win a title. 

We have hit Berzon well?

Why do you think Plonsky had to spend that money reupholstering her couch??

I was just wondering if Plonsky was also banging Connie Clark. Not that I want that visual in my head.

I can't tell y'all just how much I have enjoyed watching and listening to these ladies play this year.  Starting out the season #1, winning 23 of the first 24,  losing our first game to a Stanford team in an Arizona tournament.  We got into SEC play and didn't lose again until mid March against a #2 Florida, but won 2/3 from them at their house...still playing well, then lost 2/3 to Tenn Vols against the fastest throwing pitcher on the planet...but bounced back by winning 2/3 against a top 10 LSU team....then got our butts whooped by getting swept in Norman...always tough for us...went limping into the SEC tourney only to get bounced by a #1 aggy team (the highlight of their year) 14-2....time to regroup....came back to win the Regional by winning 3 straight....then in came Clemson to give us a fit, losing our 1st game and had to win twice...down one game, trailing late with Clemson baserunners 2 & 3 no outs, and on the brink of being eliminated....but survived and won 2/3!  Wow.

Then to the WCWS to knock out Florida, OU (a hump we were finally able to get over), then had to face Tenn Vols again, and won and on to the finals to take 2/3 from Tech.  Just an unbelievable season that we will remember forever.  Such a wonderful sports year for these young ladies who said over and over how much they loved each other, worked hard together, pumped up each other and really appreciated Mike White's coaching and support.  I've had more fun watching and posting and hoping that winning the World Series would happen, but there were no guarantees.  Loved the play of Mia and Teagan, Stewie, Henry and the others...having to survive the loss at shortstop and watching Mike try Stewie there, only to move her back to LF.  Don't know how many posters wanted Mike's head for making numb scull decisions, and all who knew they could coach better....yea, right.

Anyhow, really enjoyed the posts here (most...not all) and Js1's contributions....a women's sport's book of knowledge...hope next year can duplicate and we can repeat.  Waking up this morning with a National Championship was great.  Now, I'll watch some men's baseball and root against LSU, Tenn, and Arky....maybe I'll pull for UTSA...enjoyed the season.  

 

beautiful happy endings GIF

Such a likable group of athletes. They didn’t clown the other team when they had success, didn’t hang their heads or acknowledge clowning from the other side when they failed. They just went about their damn business and won a title. 
 
Fantastic representation of our University.

Walking the walk with regard to ‘It is about us.’

I know we got a lot of folks in here praising and kissing Js1’s ass for his contributions and dedication to this and other spring sports forums… I just got one thing to say… Somebody move over so I can kiss some of that booty too.


Thanks, Js1!
