Gerry Glasco can coach softball !
Down 4-0, kept battling. That little centerfiielder with the outstanding plays is a freshman. Doubt if he cares how many homeruns she hits.
Did you all notice that Singleton with with MW to the circle ? Seems he is taking over the defense ? I have not noticed that before.
Pierce likely concerned about lack of LH hitters and wants to give Kash an opportunity. Kash must be showing something in practice. He doesn't lack for confidence, maybe a little too much for a freshman. 🙂

Against Texas tomorrow... the first nine guys on the bus get to pitch. I'll talk with Nate Yeskie, and we will decide on a starter soon. This will be a good opportunity to find some things out about guys in a big situation. We can't, however, sacrifice our staff for the weekend and SEC play.

Seeing this thead, reviewed OU and OKSt schedules.
Baylor had a 1-0 lead yesterday vs OU thru 6.2 and Jennings hit a 3 run walkoff HR. Heartbreak... Baylor's pitcher was Omre, Fresno St transfer.
OU has run ruled 25 of 29 opponents. Saw a few innings of their game vs Kentucky on SECN. Jordy Bahl, their ace pitcher, is a machine. Will be interesting to see MW's hitting and pitching strategy.
AAS story. (excerpt)
Abandoned rental cars snaked down the road outside Austin-Bergstrom International Airport on Monday morning and passengers waited in a security line that reached outside the terminal and onto the sidewalk.
Some travelers waited in security lines for hours, missed flights or even had to make alternate travel arrangements over the weekend as the airport was unable to handle unusually high passenger traffic generated in part by several high-profile sporting events.
Airport officials on Monday even took the step of issuing a fuel shortage alert due to a lack of available fuel supply — a measure an airport spokesperson said is becoming more common as the airport becomes busier with more flights scheduled. A fuel shortage alert calls for flights to arrive with more fuel than normal in case there is no fuel available for them at ABIA.
“These volumes reflect thousands of Austin visitors traveling home after attending events", includeing the Texas Relays, Dell Technologies Match Play Championships and a NASCAR race at the Circuit of the Americas, the statement read

As a lurker, thanks to all for great analysis this season !
Proud of Vic and the Lady Longhorns !
“They’re really good, no question about it. You let them do what they want to do, they’ll hang 70, 80 points on you,” Texas coach Vic Schaefer said. “I think you’ve got to give our kids credit because they didn’t let them do what they wanted to do. They really played their guts out today, and they played the way we wanted to play. And we just couldn’t score enough points.”

Championships, they are a greedy bunch.
Tells you all you need to know when Bally Sports Ok TV chooses to telecast the softball game last night vs baseball. OU's baseball facilities (esp training) are behind which likely affects recruiting and will be exacerbated with the move to the SEC.
Tadlock's postgame comments. Moreland did not ask Pierce to comment postgame on radio, normal positive rah rah.
"Once we got to two outs, we've got communication that if we got in a position we need to do it, we're going to do it," Tech coach Tim Tadlock said. "Kurt made it happen. No doubt about it. Kurt's initial lead allowed him to do it. The baseball player Kurt is allowed him to do it."
Asked if the Red Raiders believed from advance scouting they could steal home on Nixon or if they became aware of it during the game, Tadlock said, "I would tell you that I thought we could steal home on their lefthander (starter Pete Hansen). He goes out of the windup a lot.
"(Against) Nixon, I really thought we could steal second and third more so than home, but if you can steal second and third easily, you can probably steal home, too. So I guess it all just kind of added up."

Complete boxscore. Only 2 ER's of 7, scored 6 in 3rd. Dolcini great 3.1 relief of Czech. Only 6 hits, 3 by A. Washington, including HR. Kansas had 9 hits. 0 Texas errors.
Incomplete showing vs a 10-16 Kansas team. Try to do better today at 2PM.
PROBABLE PITCHING MATCHUPS
FRIDAY–Texas LHP Pete Hansen (4-0, 2.57) vs. Texas Tech RHP Andrew Morris (2-0, 4.84) SATURDAY–Texas RHP Tristan Stevens (4-1, 1.17) vs. Texas Tech RHP Brandon Birdsell (3-1, 1.80) SUNDAY–Texas LHP Lucas Gordon (1-1, 1.61) vs. Texas Tech LHP Mason Molina (1-2, 2.70)
Just a note, Morris is a new transfer from Colorado Mesa Univ. Tech's pitchers have thrown only 22, 25, and 20 innings respectively in 4/5 starts. As a comparison Hansen has thrown 28, Stevens 30 in 5 starts each. Meaning Tech relies on their bullpen, only expecting so much from their starters. At least thus far.

Nice research !
White was a big loss. Would be so nice for her to be on staff. Refresh my memory, any idea why she left, closer to home ? In her limited appearances she did not seem to be comfortable.
Also, any idea on why Simpson hasn't pitched since 16 Mar vs La ? Pulled after 1.1, did well, not so well in previous start against Minn. Hulon is also missing and MW even brought Day back into the mix. Need a reliable 3rd pitcher.
(can't recall name, but there was a poster who seems to have contacts on the team, would appreciate info that can be shared)

D1 Softball has us at #16, USA Today Coaches #24. Coaches must have missed the LSU sweep as LSU #22.
I suppose stigma of 6 game losing streak and bad losses to FGCU and Notre Dame (not top 25).
fwiw, read that we "may" never again see dealer inventory as in the past which can eliminate price reduction. Dealers like the minimal inventory/order your vehicle concept to save costs.
Anyone have friends in the business ? Wonder if this is affecting reduction in salesmen ?
Tell us about Georgia. Saw a few innings of their game last night vs Miss St. 15-3 with a soft schedule, but their ace RHP Jonathan Cannon is for real.
In other news, aggy scored 2 in top of 9th to beat LSU 6-4 @Alex Box. Also saw a few innings, aggy played well but LSU seems to be having 1st year coach syndrome.
LSU Series will be tape delayed. My Friday TV guide shows reruns on LHN. Suppose they don't wont to detract from Texas WBB at 7PM, ESPN2 or maybe a not listed WBB pregame show. Baseball Sat.
Article has full preview of series.
Texas' defense has settled in since a tough night against UCF, posting a .975 fielding percentage while making just 11 total errors over the last 18 games (11 no-error efforts). (Overall fielding .958)
