Outside of that, they're playing utter dogshit. Their record will look great when Texas comes into town that Friday, less so when Texas leaves that Sunday. Try to stack wins in non-conf is def a thing but you have to finish .500 in conference. Which typically means you have to steal a game from OU/OSU/Texas and win every single one of your other games. It’s a bad strategy
February 21, 20241 yr Heading over to the game tonight. First home game! Expecting an outcome like baseball last night. At least softball has a run rule.
February 21, 20241 yr Also, why did our baseball & softball lineup graphics get even shittier this year?

February 21, 20241 yr Author Makes sense now - each senior gets a midweek game in their honor. Hence Whitaker starting today

February 21, 20241 yr Author Texas is a HBP this inning away from a turbo cycle: Triple Double HR Single Walk Reached on an error
February 21, 20241 yr Still a couple of interference calls out there too along with dropped third strike. Edited February 21, 20241 yr by Pato del Muerto

It was Whittaker’s last night, that’s why she started

Washington is probably going to lose her spot at 2nd when Goode is back. Mitchell could end up at DP if he’s insistent on Scott playing 3rd. Because Henry needs to be the third OF with Maloney and Dayton. Stewart at 1st, Atwood catching, Vivi at short. That’s the lineup right there

If Goode returns to her 1st half freshman season form at the plate, then 100% agree. But she seemed to struggle at the end of last year and coming off her injury this year doesn't help. She just looks really shaky at the plate right now. We will see. She's a legit in the infield though.

February 22, 20241 yr @Js1 When time permits, pls give us a summary of the tournament this weekend. Of interest, what are other sites "in the know" saying about them. Thanks ! Stanford (5-4) and ULL (6-5). Stanford has played a tough schedule. Colorado State normally is also competitive. LHN schedule indicates they will broadcast the tournament. ULL vs Stanford, Friday, 11AM.

You don't typically see Tech, KU, ISU, UH at the big tournaments in Clearwater or Mary Nutter. Yes, the Big 12 will get a little easier without Texas/OU, but Utah is good and Arizona/ASU have access to that good Cali talent. Very true, but both of those tournaments are invitationals and I’m not sure those teams have the draw to get invited.

ULL vs Stanford, Friday, 11AM. Stanford’s offense is a problem. They saw a lot of Kavan’s rise, so don’t be shocked if they see either Citlali or Morgan this time. We will face an elite pitcher in Canady this time, as she had just pitched the Tenn game and shut them down, so we didn’t face her Louisiana has been disappointing. Dropped a game to Cal, two to Miss St and 2/3 to Baylor. Will still probably win the Sun Belt but not as strong as they could be.

For sure the 6:30 tonight, not sure about all the rest, but there's probably more. Baseball gets priority.
February 23, 20241 yr Just looking at McCombs and the new buildings surrounding it on TV, I think we should tread lightly when commenting on aggy’s “Soviet architecture.” We have some painfully plain and ugly looking stuff of our own …
