aggy should probably be making a softball coaching change and Gajewski should be their top target if they’re smart.

  • Huge 2023 recruiting day for Mike Katie Stewart C/IF from Illinois Kayden Henry (SA’s #7) OF from Dickinson picked us over LSU and aggy 

  • I just want to re-iterate how impressed I was by the team yesterday.  They really rallied together to win that game 7 - it took a monumental defensive effort to win that game (not just from Corona, bu

Or Geri Glasco at ULL. Jo Evans is getting the Connie Clark “eh whatever” treatment

aggy's season should be over so we will find out if they're making a coaching change soon. 

My guess is yes. 

I was flipping by the sports channels and saw aggy and tenn tied in the 9th so I stopped to watch. What fun. Aggy doesn’t get rung up on what seemed an obvious strike 3 then hits a hr on the next pitch, then goes back to the circle and gives up a walkoff 2 run double to secure their annual first round tourney loss.  She apparently had the only 4 aggy hits in the game, 2 2b and 2 hr. 

That aggy team is mentally soft. 

They've been right there in almost every SEC game but they always choke at the end. I think that was the 3rd game out of the last 4 they were walked off. 

Jo has never won an SECT game

We need that game 1 sooooooooooooooooooooo bad.  Even if we get shit blasted by OU 22-0 in the Big 12 champ game, we need that win over OSU.  I don't think we'd get a top 8 seed with a win over OSU, BUT I'd rather be in the 9-11 range than the 12-16 range where you are going to get matched up with someone like UCLA, Alabama, OU or  Florida.   I'd feel more confident in a three game series with an Arkansas, an LSU, an FSU or an Ok State.   

We were pretty darn close to a series win (8 inning loss in game 2) versus LSU and we were absolutely in two of those games versus Ok State (two 2-run losses). 

Yesterday's projections: https://d1softball.com/d1softball-field-of-64-projections-may-12/

They actually have us OUT as a host (#17) - Texas is currently #9 in the RPI with a game against #7 tomorrow.  Meanwhile, they are giving host sites to: #15 Oregon, #18 Kentucky, #20 Clemson and #26 ULL.   I think we host - that would be some BULLSHIT if we didn't. 

Our biggest resume problems right now are: #132 SOS (OU is #176, OSU is #102, Arizona is #110), 2-8 versus the top 25 (Arizona is 4-9, Oregon is 6-12).  NC SOS is #141 - OU is #194, Tenn is #138, Arizona St. is #121, Missouri is #124, Washington is #170, Oregon is #148

Thanks for those projections !     If MW returns to Eugene he will need Secret Service protection.

Will be interesting to see how the committee rates strength of schedule since so many schedules/tournaments affected by Covid.

Yep.  The committee needs to remember, for instance, that we lost 2 games against Bama and a game against Arizona due to weather.   Our NC SOS would have been a lot higher. 

Live on ESPNU. 

Texas scores 1st on an RBI single by Ellsworth! 

Nice start but it would have been nice to get at least one more runner in.

Scoreless first for OK State after a two out double for Shea.  Great start! 

1-0 Texas

Edited by Js1

Quick 1-2-3 by Texas in the top of the 2nd. 

And a 1-2-3 for Shea. 

1-0 Texas to the 3rd. 

So if the runner tags up on a caught foul bunt, does the batter still get credit for the sacrifice?

Ok State with all kinds of problems - 

Leadoff single by Jefferson
Rhodes popped up bunt - OK State player dropped it on the transfer, allowing Jefferson to move up to second
Ok State SS dropped a pop up, allowing Burke to reach - Jefferson could not advance though

Ellsworth with a second RBI single!

2-0 Texas

Gotta love 2-out RBIs

Well shit, that was crushed.

Crushed.  2-2, bottom 3rd.  Still one out. 

Yeah, ok Sooner - it was belt high in her wheelhouse.  Calm down with the "bloody nose propelled that HR!" 

Nice response by Shea with a grounder to short and a strikeout.

2-2, top 4

And then a leadoff double by JJ Smith!  She really is going to work herself into a starting lineup spot next year with her bat. 

Yeah, she was hit.  It hit her in the collarbone first.  That took a discussion? 

Texas has the first two aboard on a double and a HBP.

That bunt sucked. 

You had one fucking job, Camille! 

Rhodes is in an awful slump, still.   Strikeout with 2 on and 2 outs. 

She needs to be moved down the order. 

Tough not to score the leadoff double

Not getting a bunt down from a slapper is why we are 3-9 against the top 25. 

2 out error by Parker does no damage as Shea forces a grounder to first, who has to dive to the bag to get the tag. 

2-2 to the 5th. 

Edited by Js1

Burke lead off single! 

8 LOB. Texas cannot get a timely hit 

9 LOB. Rhodes is GARBAGE right now. 

This is quite the pitcher's duel.  2-2 through 6 complete.

Texas 2 - 9 - 1

OSU 2 - 5 - 0

Burke and Ellsworth are here to get hits.

Pitching change with Burke on first with one out. 

Ellsworth 3rd hit.  Runners 1st and 2nd with 1 out. 

Ellsworth and Burke are ON FIRE.  Move both of them up.   It should be Jefferson, Burke, Iakopo, Ellsworth, Rhodes

Edited by Js1

Bases loaded, 1 out.  We need to finally get that big hit...or even a sac fly.

Eberle walks Parker and bases are loaded with 1 out.

JJ Smith is up.  Just get something into the OF. 

Freshman had a freshman moment.
