Ryan Brown is going to find somewhere to swing the bat, Sophia Simpson is an after thought on this roster, Cimuz will likely want to play every day, and I am hopeful we don't lose Citlaly as she seems to have fallen out of favor. Add in the one or two none of us saw coming, and there could be a few holes to fill next year. My guess on the starting 9 next season looks like this: Henry CF Maloney RF Scott LF Atwood C/DH Stewart 1B/C ViVi SS Goode 2B Hunter 3B Morgan/Kavan/Salmon/Citlaly Who do you have DH/DP when Atwood is catching? Brown if she stays?

June 5, 20241 yr I do feel a little bad for Czech, Simpson, and even CG, as they've (understandably) taken a backseat to MM and TK. Man, we have a lot of pitchers for a college softball team. I feel especially bad for Estelle because she pitched a lot in our last CWS appearance and has pitched non this time around and it's probably the end of her career. I can relate as a baseball dad.

I'd wager giving up a a 3-run, 2-out, 2-strike game tying HR to someone without an XBH all season long in the bottom of the 7th of a must-win game 2 of the supers is going to make your coach look side eye at you for a bit.

It actually wasn't a terrible pitch if you go back and watch it from behind home plate (I remember seeing the replay). It just wasn't a very good pitch - a curve right on the corner that should have been in the river. It's a game of inches. Edited June 5, 20241 yr by bschoolprof

You can't just toss a meatball to the Grimace and not expect something bad to happen.
June 5, 20241 yr I guess I'm gonna die on this bizarre hill, but I don't think it was a meatball. If you watch it here (slow it down to .25), it's a decent curve (EC throws a good one) that doesn't hang. Fatty was hunting curve (I would be too) and it just barely caught too much plate (look at its movement and where Reese is about to catch it). Yes, mistake by EC, but hat tip to grimace as well.
June 5, 20241 yr If Czech were a righty, she probably wouldn't ever see the mound in OKC. But I think we'll see her at some point. Hard for me to fathom complete games from all our starters. Hopefully she can stifle Parker, Boone or Coleman in a key spot. The final out of a championship would be a really nice sendoff.
June 5, 20241 yr In an interview during the regular season series, Gasso stated Czech matches up well with their LH hitters. The tone of her comment was one of respect. Czech relieved TK in the regular season game 2 (2-1 win), 3.1 inn, 3H, 0 runs. That said, OU does a masterful job with film study and adjusting approach. In the B12 championship game, they slowed their bats and went to right field several times on Citialy.
June 5, 20241 yr With possible fatigue from yesterdays pitch count being the X factor, Maxwell generally pitches more effectively as a game wears on. Its extra important for Texas to get some offense going in the first few innings when she’s on the mound Edited June 5, 20241 yr by perfectchaos007
June 5, 20241 yr It was also a difficult spot for Czech. She had pitched 2 innings in the last month. It's difficult to stay sharp with that little work.

She will work herself into trouble with walks if you stay patient.
June 5, 20241 yr I will be driving tonight during the 1st half of the game. Guess it's me and the radio guy.

June 5, 20241 yr Let’s go ladies! It’s your time! Let’s beat that OU Sucks ass! Shut up the celebrations quick and stack those runs!

June 6, 20241 yr 10 minutes of sucking off ou and a 30 second mention of the other team. Let’s beat that ass.
June 6, 20241 yr i cannot fucking stand this american tradition of giving games start times that we have zero intention of using. you just did an entire preview show. why are you starting the game broadcast with another whole new preview show? let’s play!
June 6, 20241 yr Sure hope blue makes our strike zone the size of a shoe box, too. Edited June 6, 20241 yr by OU Sucks
June 6, 20241 yr Was that contact not “in the river”? Body part hit was NOT in the batter’s box. And she moved into the ball’s path. Fuck that! Edited June 6, 20241 yr by Napoleon
