Texas Softball 2025 - Sick of Being Second Place


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Bennett has also been PH for twice in this game (Katie C and now Quiroga)

The one time she wasn't? She got a hit 

And Texas cannot score with bases loaded and 1 out.  Goode popup  and Quiroga strikeout

But it's tied going to the 6th

It's a Mike White issue that isn't going to be "worked out". We must not practice base running.

Hell, he waited until the count was 1-1 before sending in the PR for Atwood.  Seems obvious that his (and none of the other coaches) head was in the game …

She’s already the RBI leader at Texas. Now with 200+ 

And has the the rest of this season and her senior year to go

Texas comes back from a 4-0 deficit to win 7-6 and take the series

If my math is correct, win tomorrow = top 4 seed

We shouldn't have to struggle so much against Kentucky.  Thank goodness we have some hitting, because out pitching (other than Kavan) cannot be dependent upon to stop anyone, especially the really good teams.   Pitching better really improve or I fear we are not going too far in the playoffs.   Last week's sweep by OU was eye opening for me.  I thought we could at least win one @ OU.

Do we really give a shit about the conference tournament?

Well kind of?

We need good momentum going into the NCAA tournament and we need to lock up a top 8 seed.

So top 4 seeds in the SECT only need to win 3 games to win the title

If I was Mike (and he NEVER asks me), I'd challenge Mac/Cit/Cam to go win game 1 on Thursday.  Because were fucking awful throwing those 3 in the middle game of our SEC series versus LSU/OU/Tenn.  If you pitch TK game 1, you're asking one of them to throw in the semifinals against a top 4 finisher.  Then you can throw TK in the semifinals to go take Texas to the champ game on Saturday. Throw everyone in the finals - maybe 2 innings each, or once through the order. 

Otherwise, he may just be chasing one win to lock up a top 8 and hope Mac/Cit/Cam can figure the semifinal opponent in some way and if you lose, oh well, go home and rest for a full week

Sorta glad I forgot about today's early start. Sounds like it was a stressful game. But thrilled to see Stewie continuing the return to her old level of productivity and Hunter making good on her recent chances. 

Take care of business early tomorrow and then see where we are heading to the SEC tourney. I'd have Cit or whoever else starts on a short leash and Cam ready to be first out of the pen.

aggy up 5-0 over Tenn after 1.5, weather delay.    Strong t'storms till 10PM.    Showers also forecast for Saturday.

Kennedy pitching for aggy,  Tenn using their 3rd starter and now the 'pen.

 

Florida with a grand slam off Deal to lead 5-1 over OU,  after 2.5

Only in our minds  :)    4 year Senior,  tossed a 1 hitter yesterday vs Tenn,  good career.

@Js1    Seems Tenn will do everything to not complete the 3rd game ?

They would finish at 15-8 in the top 4.  A loss tied with Arkansas.    If Arkansas can sweep LSU they would be 15-9 with a tiebreaker vs Tenn.   If we lose to Ky also would be 15-9,  tiebreaker to be determined,  win and we are in but would play OU ?

I have no damn idea what will happen. We should just win tomorrow

Also you know Gasso has this team scouted better this she does any of the other SEC teams. The price we paid to have them tag along

Yeah, ideally, our team next year is something like

Atwood behind the plate
Wells or Crabtree at 1st
Goode at 2nd
Vivi at short
Nichols at 3rd
Maloney, Henry, Stewie OF

Wouldn't mind finding a transfer like Joley who can play 1st, so that Wells can DP when she's not pitching and Crabtree can seriously battle Goode for 2nd base

Add in a transfer pitcher like Peyton Tanner and i like our rotation (TK, Cit, Cam, Tanner, Wells) 

I think Stewart plays 3B next season. Regardless, Mia is going to hard to replace

As it looks to me this morning, Texas has clinched a top 4 seed with Arkansas’ loss last night. Worst we can finish is 15-9, Arkansas is 13-10

If aggy wins and OU loses, they’ll tie for the regular season. I assume tiebreaker would be record against the next highest placed team they both played, which means Aggy wins the #1 seed by virtue of having the 2-1 series win over Tenn

3 scenarios - I’d prefer the second, honestly. I don’t want to see OU in the SEC semifinals 

aggy win and OU loss would line up the top 4 as:

aggy

OU

Texas

Tenn

 

An Aggy win and Ou win would line it up as 

OU

aggy

Texas

Tenn

 

aggy loses and OU win or loss

OU

aggy

Tenn

Texas

And not that it matters, but a Texas win today, regardless of other results, would give Texas the most regular season wins of the conference (45)
