They are wildly inconsistent. 

Lost to Georgia, 0-4
Lost to Liberty, 4-5
Lost to aggy, 1-9 (5)
Lost to Auburn, 0-1
Tied Ohio State, 4-4
Lost to Ohio State, 3-7
Lost to FSU, 1-8
Lost to Georgia Southern, 1-4
Took 2/3 from Arizona (but lost to them in the Big 12 tournament) 
Split with Florida, 0-3 and 4-0
Lost 2/3 to ASU
Swept by ISU
Lost 2/3 to Baylor
Lost to OU, 0-6
Lost 2/3 to OKST
Dropped a game to UH

They didn't even have to play Tech.  Losing 2/3 to Baylor, 2/3 to OKST and getting swept by ISU is pretty bad - and far far far worse than any of our 10 losses.  As is losing to Auburn and Georgia Southern, and they were totally uncompetitive against aggy, OU and FSU 

I think that will be the moral of the story on Friday afternoon between UCF and Michigan - both wildly inconsistent; one team could win 1-0 in 11 innings or one team could win 9-0 in 6 innings.  And the winner could easily lay an egg the next day against Texas after playing their ace

UCF is boosted by their freshman pitcher, Isabella Vega. When she is good, she can be very good....when she is bad, she can be terrible.

Watched highlights and its bad news.   Lots of changeups.

She’s most likely throwing game 1 vs Michigan though. She could come back and pitch against Texas on day 2, but maybe Michigan can hit the change

In their conference tournaments,  both UCF and Michigan started their #1 (Vega and Derkowski) on consecutive days and relieved with their #2 (Felton and Hoehn).  No other pitchers saw action.    Could see the same.

Game is on ESPN2, 1PM, Friday

 

Not really our problem.  Our problem is which lineup (who plays where) will Mike White's dart board reveal.

She has a 1.35 ERA, it must have been rare she was terrible. And UCF may throw Felton against UM and save Vega for Texas. Felton is very good too and they may think they can beat UM with Felton. One thing's for sure, Texas won't be going up against a Pinto.

Even average pitchers have a penchant for shutting us down if they have a good offspeed.  It's singleton's kryptonite.  We're gonna need good TK to show up this week and next.  She will likely have to pitch her arm off.

How does a team with two very good pitchers go 12-12 in the big12?

If Mike is making a change this offseason, can we PLEASE bring in Cat as pitching coach?  Hate to lose her from the booth, but she can stay in Austin for her kid.

She was a good pitching coach at TXST

Hope they can deal with 100+ degree weather…..
