Texas Softball 2025 - Sick of Being Second Place


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Canady hurled a 2 hitter last night against FSU. If she keeps that up, Tech could be a title contender. The defense behind her has seemingly improved somewhat as the season has progressed. Im not sure that Texas beats them if we played again this season

Tech?

dammit yup.  Dook  playing fsu in baseball today and my quick look at the ESPN app made me mix them up. 

But there is a larger life lesson. Which is fuck FSU no matter who they are playing.

So just like Stanford? Canady is a unit. We fucked up not going all in on her. 

I still maintain she was never coming here. Just like Aaliyah Chavez.  She wanted everything and we weren’t in a desperate position to hand it to her.

That’s the point we should have went all in, period. Outside of Kavan pitching is dog shit. And at the excuse of team chemistry. Fuck off.

We've been saying all year Stewie at short was gonna cost us a game that really mattered . . . maybe that was it, although it's hard to pin that shitty performance on just her.  

Frankly, we've looked pretty listless against good teams for a while now.  The regional got my hopes up, but this team is otherwise in a funk.  Hopefully we come out tonight ready to fuck shit up.  

She has only been at SS for the last dozen games.

Tech is gonna throw Canady every game until her arm bounces to home at the feet of the catcher. Reminds me of the Blair Luna days

That’s what you do with an Ace in softball. Kavan is really good, but she is a notch below Canady and Bahl

I’m aware…hence my reference to Luna. Was just making a statement

Although it seems that the trend from the Cat and Luna days is to have a good 2 and decent 3 and rest the ace occasionally. I thought last year Kavan showed flashes, but she doesn’t seem to have the stamina or shut down of an ace you ride.

Canady was going to the highest bidder, period. If a softball crazed whale donor for Texas put up 2 million, she would be here. 
Chavez wanted a little more than just money, as she seemingly did value playing within a 6 hour drive of home and she wanted a to play in a fast pace offense.

and Texas doesn’t have a former player married to a billionaire.

Hmmm.  They say that 80% of game one winners advance....we have our work cut out for us if that's true....or not.

Our last 2 trips, we advanced after losing game 1

It is not impossible

Jordy scores again for the lead. 

She can fucking move. 

Agreed, she is a great athlete. True 5 tool player in the circle.

1. shut down ace

2. fields her position

3 runs well

4. hits for avg

5. hits for power

 

a true throwback. No one else like her in the game today

So Canady pitched back to back games to eliminate Florida State. I am guessing that she wouldve pitches game 3 had it been needed. Surely we are pitching TK all 3 games this weekend right? We arent putting the season on the shoulders of Mac or Cit right? 

Correct

Interesting bump choice. 

She's thrown pretty well of late, though obviously not in this situation. Better than rolling Mac out there. Sure, call that a pun if you wish.
