Wish we had a better left fielder -- Burke is out of position

Lauren may need to stick to tik tok videos

She fields like a tiktok star attempting to "try" softball

We should stop trying to steal home

1 out of 150 times, it’ll work!

Keep fuckin' scoring....  9-6 Texas leads in bottom 4th

Texas players look big, slow, and clunky.  Just not very athletic...

4 straight balls to the #9 hitter by O'Leary...

Just awful

Janae Jefferson, Mary Iakopo and Lauren Burke have all been All American type players in the past and they look just as lost as the rest of them.

Any observations why?!

No one says a word to the catcher on the steal? Yeah, the culture on this team is bad.

Not sure who is handling strength and conditioning, but this team is not developed right either...

is that a thing in softball?

9 errors in this game is generous from the official scorekeeper...  😋

O'Leary is not right...  Not sure WTF Mike has been doing to prepare this team for this season, but this team is not ready to play.

So many fundamental issues right now...

FUCK

Very much so.    Not sure there has been a dedicated strength/performance coach for softball,  but it would help.  Melissa Schmitz, below, has the duty along with Golf and Cross Country so her plate is full.     Lance Sewell at one time did both baseball and softball.  He did a great job and was well liked.   Pierce may not want to share the baseball person.

It is very important for flexibility and proper strength training and most importantly nutrition.     Some of the players look like they have added bad weight and lost flexibility and speed.

It is definitely a thing. My guess is that there is some sort of divide between the younger and older players. The super seniors seem checked out, and if true, it’s gonna be a long season.

Go ahead and take this season and

Save ourselves the pain and stop watching. 

Tough to bring young Simpson back same day,  mental thing.

Def something to this. And the young players are watching Mike fail to hold the older ones accountable for playing like shit

This team was not ready for this early season gauntlet.  Mike White, his staff, and these players are all to blame.

It's a shame the older players aren't locked in either...

Total failure on Mike White's part...

Last year White stated the team did not know each other well and could not bond with off field activities because of Covid.    This year is no excuse.    

And as someone mentioned above,  there seems to a void in leadership.   Iakopo, Jennae, Burke, and Parker just don't have that personality.

This is where we miss you know who, now at Ok St. 

I can't remember being this disappointed in a Texas Softball team in a long time.

Gotta go back to some times while Connie was still the Texas coach...

I watched this team all day yesterday. I have been around softball for 20 years and when I say they don’t seem to be a close knit bunch, I mean it. The team traveled around the park in small pods…I have never seen that before. There is zero emotion in the dug out, which is crazy in softball. No cheering, no picking each other up, nothing.
