February 12, 20232 yr Coach for Kentucky made the runner jump off the bag early to end the top 8 early to try and get to the bottom. Mike White makes a bunch of subs in the top to extended it lol.

There was a bunch of tactical strategy happening in those extra innings by both coaches. It reminded me of a soccer game in extra time where the team that has the lead tries every stall tactic in the books to run out the clock. One of our girls, I believe Mia Scott, stepped out of the batters box to get some eye drops. Good shit Edited February 12, 20232 yr by perfectchaos007
February 12, 20232 yr I really wish it had happened the other way just to see this thread's meltdown.

Morgan is an excellent pitcher, but not an overpowering strikeout pitcher, nor or the others. Defense needs to step up.

Morgan is an excellent pitcher, but not an overpowering strikeout pitcher, nor or the others. Defense needs to step up. Morgan just doesn't have a strike out pitch. However she throws so hard generates a lot of soft contact. So will be frustrating when we play poor defense or the balls ahve eyes.
February 13, 20232 yr Author Just now, Underdog said: A curfew? What the... Drop dead times for travel purposes. One or both teams had flights to catch. The rain outs yesterday fucked everything up
February 13, 20232 yr Yeah, I read up on all that. I think it's funny but it is what it is, maybe meet again in OKC.

February 13, 20232 yr From that link above: From that article: quote: Much of what transpired on Sunday can be attributed to gamesmanship – even Kentucky’s runner leaving early to end the top half of the 8th. But gamesmanship has its limits and those limits were crossed by Mike White and Texas on Sunday. When I sought out a former coach to gauge their opinion on the 8th inning happenings on Sunday, the response was worth quoting. “I would be embarrassed,” they said, “to get on the bus, to face my team, as the head coach at the University of Texas, and tell them we had to do that to avoid a loss.” The “official” scorebook may show a 4-4 final score, but Texas was a beaten team on Sunday. And Mike White knows it.

Lol. I see no one brought up the fact UKs coach pulled tactics in the top of the 8th inning to expedite the inning. Both coaches played to use the curfew rule in their favor
February 13, 20232 yr Also, the UK pitcher walked one of our batters that inning. If she just threw strikes, UK would have won with time to spare
February 16, 20232 yr Oh yeah, we’re playing. Sophia strikes out the side in top 1. That 0-5 under Lamar looks fun. All Day 2-run yack.

February 16, 20232 yr That was only the 3rd run Lamar has scored all year and their first homerun of the season

February 16, 20232 yr What’s the story with Bella Dayton? Is she injured? I know she was used as a pinch runner in one of the games in Clearwater.

February 16, 20232 yr What’s the story with Bella Dayton? Is she injured? I know she was used as a pinch runner in one of the games in Clearwater.She had a cast on her right hand/arm in FL.
February 16, 20232 yr I was just about to type that Lamar’s OF has played well, then their CF pulls the Magellan-special.
February 16, 20232 yr I went to the game tonight. No more general admission seating in the main bleachers. All assigned seats and they don't sell them at the box office. I guess it's all season tickets now, like in baseball. Total bullshit IMO. Anyway, I suck at evals, and it's early, and it's a bench-emptying game against Lamar, and I should know better from last year than to doubt White, but I don't exactly know what to make of this team. They did way better in Clearwater than I thought they would, particularly after last year. We have some talented Freshman. The leadoff (Goode) has a great swing and approach. She looks to be a pure hitter. Day had a nice HR. I have some concerns though. The pen is thin, and Simpson looks shaky to start the year. I'm also a little worried about lack of pop - I see lots of fast contact hitters. Day and Whitaker provide some pop, but the latter struggles mightily with decent pitching. Defense and baserunning are sure to be subpar - that's a White staple. I'm also a little worried about the lack of studdettes. Iakopo, Rhodes, Ellish. It doesn't seem we have players of that caliber on the roster. Of course, I could be wrong. We'll see.

So everyone has to sit in the outfield bleachers if you don't have a season ticket ? Can't believe they sold all season tickets. Did not attend, but most positive thing I saw on TV was Gutierrez getting 7 ground outs on 13 batters faced. Keep the ball in the ballpark. Personal opinion (which struggles to hit .200) but I think Simpson's challenge is mental. She has the pitch repertoire, just needs to concentrate and relax. I think she may be intimidated by MW. Omaha may be a good test this weekend. They are 5-0 with wins over Iowa St and Northern Iowa (good program), 32-14 last year.

I bought general admission tickets because that's all you can buy online and I assumed it was general seating throughout most of the stadium as it has always been. Nope, all assigned seating and GA is technically in the outfield. But the usher told us it wouldn't be too crowded and we could probably just sit wherever, which we did. Parking is also now a shit show because all the nearby surface lots are gone due to new graduate student housing. Anyway, the whole thing has a very Steve Patterson feel to it. Agree on Simpson. One thing I liked was Czech was yelling encouragement to her from the dugout when she was struggling, which I thought was a nice touch. Czech seems like a great teammate.
February 17, 20232 yr Feb 17 (Fri) 3 p.m. First pitch at 3:31 vs Loyola Chicago Austin, Texas Red & Charline McCombs Field TV: Longhorn Network
February 17, 20232 yr Bella broke a bone in her wrist while sliding into 2B against Tx St in the fall, so now she's our main PR. And of course she goes headfirst as I'm typing. 2-0
