June 5Jun 5 Anyone got a clip of SVP preaching on the obstruction call? I need to send it to multiple tech tard family members that decided to become experts on college softball yesterday.

June 5Jun 5 Pretty sure German thought the 3-2 pitch was inside, so she was heading to 1B. We caught a big break on that liberal strike call, which then set off the cascade of weirdness. But after the bogus reversal of Goode's tag, I'm not feeling a bit guilty about that K. BTW, that was Anya German a local Austin girl. She played catcher on our baseball team at Oak Hill. I was shocked to see her when she came in to designate hit for Tech. Bitter sweet seeing her get the out with all that drama.

If she ended up on any above average hitting team they would be the national champions. The thing you're discounting is... There's not very many teams in the country that are above average hitters against TK. Maybe just OU, but TK shut them down in the world series. OU #2 in team home runs, Florida #4...TK with ZERO earned runs in the WCWS. Edited June 5Jun 5 by TheBryMan81
June 5Jun 5 Am I crazy to think Texas should start Kavan? She has given up 1 earned run to Texas Tech in 20 innings this year. They have been incapable of scoring on her this year. The odds of Texas Tech beating her twice is low.

No. I wouldn’t be shocked (threw fewer than 100 pitches) but also you don’t have to because you can’t lose the series tomorrow. Could come in as soon as Texas gets a lead

June 5Jun 5 Sorry if already posted, but SEC Now postgame said that Canady has only intentionally walked a batter twice in her entire career.
June 5Jun 5 Author 2 minutes ago, Gut Wagon said: So if we score T1...have her start? 🤔 A first inning run would be huge for Mac, because it means we are already seeing Canady better than today and you have TK ready to come in and close it out as long as Mac keeps them off the board. But she managed really well against Tenn, considering it took us until the 4th to score
June 5Jun 5 Tech losing the game with a million dollar mercenary fucking up an intentional walk is chef’s kiss.
June 5Jun 5 I really want to find a gif of Buttermaker telling Leak to hit the pitch when the Yankess were intentional walking him but can't seem to find it. "you are putting the winning run on first base, you imbecile!"

Aggy outfitters is going to reprint their 2x softball ncaa champ t-shirts for sure. That’s how their fanbase will cope after Texas gets their first in a day or two.

June 5Jun 5 Popular Post Regardless of what happens next, let's take a moment to reflect on TK's 24 innings in this WCWS so far: 0 earned runs. That's being an absolute alpha when it matters most.

June 5Jun 5 Gary Sanchez did the intentional walk hit thing almost 10 years ago (ended up being a warning track sacrifice fly). I figured @Helobious would be all over that. https://www.mlb.com/video/sanchez-refuses-intentional-walk-c1155475783
June 5Jun 5 3 hours ago, dcar00 said: the are saying that umpire interference means it is a dead ball but IMO the batter interfered before the umpire interference. Logically the rule is BS because Tech should not benefit because the umpire screwed up. they are treating it the same as if a batted ball hits ump where the batter is awarded first and ball is dead. the issue is that in almost every case a batted ball hitting and ump is a base hit anyway. It is a "delayed dead ball", meaning the play continues until its conclusion and then the umps enforce the penalty, if necessary. If the runner is thrown out, she is out - she doesn't get to go back to first.

Her whole demeanor changed after that intentional walk attempt. Not enough is being said about the fact that Canaday hit into a DP with the bases loaded and no outs. Other than the BS obstruction call, she was the center of the two biggest plays of the game.

June 5Jun 5 65 years of watching ball games and I never saw this much odd shit in 22 innings, much less 6 1/2. Catcher interference, umpire interference, bullshit blocking call at second base, illegal pitch, and creme de la creme, 2 RBI on an intentional walk attempt for the win. Best of all, Canady pretty much giving Tech the loss after all her dancing and screaming on the mound. Hook 'em indeed.

Catcher would signal it and it was a 50 mph soft toss way off the plate. The arrogance or ignorance of what Tech did tonight with our best hitter up was wild. I once saw a balk called for the catcher stepping out of position too early during an intentional walk.

I’m waiting for the we beat the National Champs 14-2 cup to go with the Baseball Pre Season #1 cup which sits next to LSU 74-72 cup in many aggy’s kitchen cabinets. I imagine that 74-72 cup is showing age by now, so they need a new cup.
