Not only were the 4 best teams all on the same side of the bracket, but it was the day game bracket. Just a masterclass in seeding and scheduling. 

I noticed that OU was on both sides of the bracket.

Yeah, because the loser of the 1-0 game flips to the other side. So Oregon/OU and Tenn/UCLA now, instead of rematches

Ok but how does a softball player steal home?  Like leave third with the pitch and beat it to the plate?  Go on a lazy toss back to the pitcher?

Having a huge righthanded batter at the plate helps.  The catcher's view of the third base line is nonexistent.

At the time, it seemed puzzling that Tech would leave her in to hit; I think she was about 1-15 over the course of a few games. She never moved an inch out of the batter's box until the return throw to the pitcher had been made, obviously to maximize visual blockage. Sometimes size matters.

Yes, this became apparent only from one camera angle that I saw.  Well planned by somebody.

You guys should know, that catcher had a name other than fat girl. Her name is Victoria Valdez….or as I call her Exxon Valdez.

If the aggys weren’t pissed before, losing in the regional as the #1 overall seed, Texas is likely the betting favorite to win it all and it could be an all Texas-finals, without aggy

If Tennessee wins, we saw the Vols three times this year, so we should be much better prepared for Pickens

If UCLA, we saw Tinsley last year. Texas won 3-2

Anyone notice what kind of pitch Kayden hit her HR off of?

Finally, someone besides Mia timed a fucking change up 

The idiot threw the change on the first pitch of the AB. She deserved to see that one sail out. Less about timing when that happens, though.

TN up 4-2, B5, on a 2-run dinger

Umps got it right.  HR player did NOT touch home plate....crossed it...on deck player told her and assisted her in backing up to touch.  Umps ruled that she did indeed did NOT touch the plate and was assisted, but was not a reviewable act.   I thought Tenn coach was gonna come unglued....but, glad the game will be resolved on the field with the score tied 4-4 heading into the top of the 8th.  They can play 50 innings as far as I'm concerned.

A lot of these girls throw 80+ pitches in bullpens multiple times a week.  It's very different than baseball.  She may tire out, but I wouldn't count on it.  

In High school during playoff time,  one pitcher might throw all three games of a best of three series if it goes to three games.  Easily 200 to 300 pitches in consecutive days.

We owe Tenn payback after they beat us in the semis in 2013

Teagan was only in 2nd grade, but she swore then and there that Rocky Top's aggression would not stand.

Posted in the other thread - 

TK is the only ace with 0 ER in OKC so far.  Canady has 1 ER.  Both runs given up to OU on Saturday were not earned.  Pickens leads the way with 8 ER. 

A cool 0.00 ERA in 14 innings and 2 victories going into the semifinals

Pickens with 8 ER against OU and UCLA - I think she’s feeling some of the fatigue of being leaned so heavily on all season long. She entered the NCAAT was an ERA of like 1.00
