But white is not a slimming color. All burnt orange is probably best for her. 

We are the visitor tomorrow so I guess depends what colors Tech wants to wear as the home team

Pretty sure German thought the 3-2 pitch was inside, so she was heading to 1B. We caught a big break on that liberal strike call, which then set off the cascade of weirdness. But after the bogus reversal of Goode's tag, I'm not feeling a bit guilty about that K. 
BTW, that was Anya German a local Austin girl. She played catcher on our baseball team at Oak Hill. I was shocked to see her when she came in to designate hit for Tech. Bitter sweet seeing her get the out with all that drama.

Canady ending up at Texas Tech might have been the best outcome possible for Texas. If she ended up on any above average hitting team they would be the national champions.  

The thing you're discounting is... There's not very many teams in the country that are above average hitters against TK. Maybe just OU, but TK shut them down in the world series.  OU #2 in team home runs, Florida #4...TK with ZERO earned runs in the WCWS.

Am I crazy to think Texas should start Kavan? She has given up 1 earned run to Texas Tech in 20 innings this year. They have been incapable of scoring on her this year. The odds of Texas Tech beating her twice is low. 

No. I wouldn’t be shocked (threw fewer than 100 pitches) but also you don’t have to because you can’t lose the series tomorrow.  Could come in as soon as Texas gets a lead

Sorry if this has already been covered but do y’all think the Tech SS was completely unprepared on the single? It doesn't seem like she got a good break on the ball. I think she had a shot at it in a normal situation.

A first inning run would be huge for Mac, because it means we are already seeing Canady better than today and you have TK ready to come in and close it out as long as Mac keeps them off the board.

But she managed really well against Tenn, considering it took us until the 4th to score

I really want to find a gif of Buttermaker telling Leak to hit the pitch when the Yankess were intentional walking him but can't seem to find it.  "you are putting the winning run on first base, you imbecile!"

Real Life Love GIF by Abbey Luck

Aggys SEC tourney win over us was their national championship. Counterpoint: Texas sandbagged that game to overinflate their egos and confidence headed into the real tournament. Our 4D chess strategy worked to perfection

other than the over the top "Nijaree Stomp" thing she seems like a good egg.  but she chose to play for tech so there you go.

Not sure she initially decided to play for tech…..believe she went into the portal knowing she could $$$ cash in….and did…with tech.

I'm waiting for the "2 touchdowns on tu, 14-2" SEC co champs shirt.  goes right next to the LSU 74-72 regular season game win shirt.

Aggy outfitters is going to reprint their 2x softball ncaa champ t-shirts for sure. That’s how their fanbase will cope after Texas gets their first in a day or two.

Just a hunch but I think Canady will be completely mindfucked tomorrow, if not she’s exceptionally resilient. Her whole demeanor changed after that intentional walk attempt. 

There will be NO intentional walks manana!

She played at Bowie High School.

You have to roll with the girl that has thrown 4 straight games of no runs. Go with the hot hand, dance with the one who brung you.

the are saying that umpire interference means it is a dead ball but IMO the batter interfered before the umpire interference.  Logically the rule is BS because Tech should not benefit because the umpire screwed up.  they are treating it the same as if a batted ball hits ump where the batter is awarded first and ball is dead.  the issue is that in almost every case a batted ball hitting and ump is a base hit anyway.

It is a "delayed dead ball", meaning the play continues until its conclusion and then the umps enforce the penalty, if necessary.  If the runner is thrown out, she is out - she doesn't get to go back to first.

65 years of watching ball games and I never saw this much odd shit in 22 innings, much less 6 1/2.  Catcher interference, umpire interference, bullshit blocking call at second base, illegal pitch, and creme de la creme, 2 RBI on an intentional walk attempt for the win.  Best of all, Canady pretty much giving Tech the  loss after all her dancing and screaming on the mound.   

Hook 'em indeed.

My final thought on Reese with her sweet little swing here.  It was the unexpected play at the unexpected time.   Let that be a lesson to 'em.

When I worked for Texas Softball we'd regularly practice intentionally walking a batter.

Catcher would signal it and it was a 50 mph soft toss way off the plate.

The arrogance or ignorance of what Tech did tonight with our best hitter up was wild.

I once saw a balk called for the catcher stepping out of position too early during an intentional walk.

I’m waiting for the we beat the National Champs 14-2 cup to go with the Baseball Pre Season #1 cup which sits next to LSU 74-72 cup in many aggy’s kitchen cabinets.   I imagine that 74-72 cup is showing age by now, so they need a new cup.
