2 trips for Mia Scott in her debut 

She looks like an exciting player.   So far she’s made highlight reel plays on defense, at the plate, and on the bases.

Texas wins 8-4. Off for Florida for a gauntlet of a weekend

And this will be my annual post about strongly disliking our all-oranges. 

I agree.  They'd be tolerable without the half leg stripe and black lettering outline, but that would still leave a lot of orange.  

Of course, storm-trooperish white is GOAT, perhaps less so for the bat sports.  But when I was on campus, white things with orange print or logos were the rage.

Mack kind of changed that a bit with the "wear burnt orange" thing.  But all orange is rough.  Glad the boiz have never adopted such a thing.

🙂  No,  want Chelsea Spencer back and to not finish in last place in B12 defensive stats.    We had 8 errors in 3 games last year vs OU at the debacle in Norman.

 

Defense must get better... 2 more errors

I will in Clearwater for the tournament on Friday. This weekend will go along way on telling us where this team is headed for the rest of the year. I will post some screen shots from the fields when I have a chance.

Yep, we on TV twice today! 

Event actually started yesterday, but luckily we got a travel day due to playing on Wednesday in Austin.

Tenn 11 - ND 3
Auburn 7 - Tech 1
Wisconsin 9 - UCF 1
Clemson 8 - Tech 0
FSU 9 - Tenn 3
Wisconsin 2 - ND 1

Today is STACKED!  This should become the best nonconference tournament because ESPN is willing to air it for free.  Sucks to suck, Judi Garmin Classic and all the others that you have to pay to watch via FloSoftball. 

Michigan-OSU kick off at 9am
UW-Tenn
Texas-FSU
LSU-OSU
Auburn-Texas
Tenn-Clemson
UW-LSU

Ok St ace Kelly Maxwell pitched a 1 hit shutout vs Michigan.    4-0 Ok St.    Ok St is tough.

This is true.

But I'm always iffy on the northern teams early in the season - how much outdoor field practice time have they actually gotten.  They come down to these warm weather tournaments and non-conf games to shake off the rust from their indoor practices because their field is covered in snow or frost.

no JJ!!!! anyway She is batting .368

Poor Parker can't get out of her own way. Eaten up for a weak ground out DP then misses a throw she must catch at this level that turns into a run for FSU.

SS is a problem.

Interesting. No JJ and Shea gets the start after her struggles last week

JJ led off.

Shea missing over the plate is not a good start but that effort from Parker was pathetic.

  • Author

Shea don’t have it today 

Just turned the game on to see a very generous called third strike for the first out in the inning. Shea needed that one. 

  • Author

Yeesh.  

That was an absolute laser of a throw right on the money to pick off the runner at third. That was a big inning to only get out of with only 1 run allowed. 

Texas gets a hit but leaves the runner on second.  Have had a baserunner every inning but still haven't pushed one across.

Shea cannot keep walking batters

  • Author

Jesus Christ.

Walk, wild pitch, wild pitch, double. 

Down 0-3.  We are getting run ruled.   Shea should not have started this game.  She's terrible this year. 

Edited by Js1

Our defense is garbage, and our offense isn’t picking them up today. Just how it is sometimes with Mike White softball

If they score that a double that’s questionable scoring. That ball has to be caught. Not an easy play but one that should be made. Should be an E7.

yeesh...not saying that double should have been caught, but it definitely could have been caught.  It was playable.

Regardless, Shea needs to figure some things out.

Pitching too - two wild pitches after a walk?  This is why we haven't been a serious Big 12 contender in years. 

Defense or lack thereof gets magnified against good teams.  And bad D is demoralizing and it infuriates fans of good ball.   I don’t see how he tolerates it.

I’m out. This is embarrassing 

 I was out after that "double."

This team has problems already. 

Down 6-0 and FSU has two on with zero outs

Still in the 3rd inning...    FUCK

Cantu has never played the outfield.   lB, 3B, DP at Tech.   Can't recall if she played OF here last year.    Example of offense over defense.   That low liner in the 2d inn was very catchable.

Why save Dolcini for #25 Auburn vs #6 Florida St.

Cantu did not play OF last year, IIRC.  She was primary 3B. 

Mike White's "position-less" defense is not going to cut it.  Players need reps, in game and in practice, at one position.  Relying on an infielder to play OF does no one any favors.  We brought it two very legit OF with collegiate experience (Dayton and Gilbert) - play them!  Any OF combo of Cantu/Whitaker is not going to win us any games, in my opinion.

We have Dayton, Gilbert, Burke and Popelka who can all play OF so we go with our slowest player at RF and someone who played mostly IF last year in LF.  Make it make sense.

We forced FSU to play all 7 at least. 2-9 loss.

 No idea why we threw Shea against FSU and Dolcini against Auburn. Should have flipped. Dolcini will need to go tomorrow against UCLA too…

Well that blows. Leadoff HR. 0-1
