May 15, 20214 yr Home plate umpire must have an early date -- fucker is widening the zone in bottom of the 5th
May 15, 20214 yr Two longhorns draw walks -- two on and no out bottom 6th Still 5-1 Edited May 15, 20214 yr by LTtxfan messed up
May 15, 20214 yr Mike White is an idiot -- 2 on and no outs with 3-0 count lets Smith swing into a weak pop out to centerfield... Runners 1st and 3rd... one out Horns hit into DP... FUCK!! 5-1 thru 6th
May 15, 20214 yr Thanks for updates, but wow. Wtf. To be this systemically bad with runners on I think has to be coaching.

May 15, 20214 yr Even with the last month of play, I doubt any host wants to see Texas as its 2. No telling which Texas shows up. To be fair, the defense has been consistently bad and the pitching has been consistently mediocre. It’s the offense that went from overcoming the first two issues in most games to not doing so. it’s almost like the team saw in Norman how far from elite they are that they just welp’d the rest of the season away.

Sure looked like defeated team today -- hopefully just fatigue. Season seemed long -- maybe playing postseason games will give them a spark
May 15, 20214 yr Going into postseason with no momentum. Yack. Glad I was on a plane and missed it. A lot of problems with this team.

May 15, 20214 yr Missing leadership? I know someone who left last minute who was the undisputed leader!

May 15, 20214 yr I hate to say it, but I don't think we would have won many more games with Miranda Elish playing as we still would have had a SS who bobbled too many balls that should have been caught and/or made errant throws to 1B. Janae Jefferson has also played poor defense at 2B, recently. The catcher position was/is an issue. Hell, so is 3B. Base-running also is not good these days. It sucks that we wasted a very good outing by O'Leary versus OSU yesterday. We need an upgrade in talent at almost every position on this roster. I don't see Corona, Popelka, A. Washington, etc. ever being elite players who can help us beat OSU or OU. Hitting the transfer portal is a great idea for Mike White (MW). He needs to be as proactive as Kenny Gajewski was last year. MW needs to use his Australian accent and softball acumen to his advantage when recruiting players in the transfer portal. Here is the million dollar question: will Miranda Elish play for UT next season? Edited May 15, 20214 yr by Mile High Horn

MW has not done well this year. - Key was OKSt game with Whitaker PH with bases loaded. Pressure/experience a factor for a freshman. K Washington was avail (LH batter) who HR'd against Iowa St and singled today. Didn't need a HR, just a single. Even go with A Wash, freshman, but with a compact swing. We beat OKSt and confidence is back. Shea deserved to win that game. Then he brings her out to pitch against Iowa St. - Reviewing box score, Tech scored 3 runs in top of 5th with 2 out. Unknown reason he pulls Jacobsen for Day with 2 outs, no one on. Day gives up 2 singles, BB, and PB, then he brings back Jacobsen who gives up a 2 run double. Shea returns in the 6th. Terrible. - Rhodes was 2/3 against Iowa St but did not play today. - Ryleigh White did not appear. Seems to have regressed, certainly not improved over the year. - I am beginning to think Chelsea Spencer (former asst) and Kailee Cuico (grad asst) were very key for this team and Mike White for instruction and morale. Not impressed with the new asst Bartlett. Edited May 15, 20214 yr by torre

May 16, 20214 yr Not a 1 seed but hosting is a dream scenario. May take a little pressure off the team not being a one seed
May 16, 20214 yr So even if they got through that regional (only host not a 1 seed) they’d have ou waiting to run rule them twice more.

I hope MW makes some staff changes, because this year has been quite a drop off in performance even without Miranda...
May 17, 20214 yr I get the SEC is the best conference in softball but how does A&M make the tournament at 8-17 in the SEC?
May 17, 20214 yr ISU to #8 Mizzou SEC got 3, 4, 6, 7 and 8 National seeds Edited May 17, 20214 yr by Js1

May 17, 20214 yr Who do we potentially get in a super? I don't think that's a terrible draw in a regional.

May 17, 20214 yr Bracket getting a lot of hate. Four conference supers matchups of seeds hold (Tenn/Mizzou, Texas/OSU, Kentucky/Alabama, ASU/UCLA). UW was pissed at how low they were seeded (#16) Edited May 17, 20214 yr by Js1
May 17, 20214 yr It looks like they went straight RPI. 15 of the top 16 RPI teams are hosting. Oregon is the one outlier who ended up as a 2 in the Austin regional. They finished #15 in RPI.
