Yeah smaller tournament, no supers. They didn’t move to super regionals until 2005, so it was really weird pre-2000 with the format. Used to be geographic, so you’d have regionals with Texas/OU/aggy in the same regional in the Cat years Used to only be like 16-32 teams, then 48, then the current 64. Edited June 7Jun 7 by Js1

June 7Jun 7 Author The Longhorns' early explosion also offered some justification for White’s move to use Kavan in a brief relief role in a 4-3 loss in Game 2. White took some online heat for resting Kavan while the Red Raiders rode Canady to a series-tying win, but Kavan looked plenty fresh Friday. “Saving Teagan for this opportunity, obviously it paid off,” White said. “The players can make you look good in those decisions.”

Texas had to do it for you (and not OU!) Ou 2000 and 2017 in OKC as well?

June 7Jun 7 Author If the intentional walk were executed and Texas loses game 1, TK pitches game 2 and we probably win that, since we got some adjustments on Canady. It took a billion errors for Tech to score off TK yesterday. They are lucky we lost focused or it’s 10-1 (5) Actually interesting to see if Tech won game 1, goes Tech sit NC and go for the win on Friday with her rested, while Texas was either pitching day 3 TK or Mac to start.

In the heat and humidity of OKC. This ain’t 2010 anymore where teams hit 60-70 HR for the season and that was considered elite. Ironically, Glasco built a team that would have won back to back in the 2000s and early 2010s. Before Gasso changed the game offensively.

Just assuming that they win game 1 of they successfully walk Atwood is folly. Bases loaded and down by 1. Not exactly an unwinnable position for Texas.

I’m far from a softball expert but I wonder if it’s more the familiarity of seeing the same pitcher three days in a row than fatigue that gets us to where the Horns put up a first-inning five-spot last night. It’s probably a little Column A and a little Column B.

I don’t know if thats thrown with spin or if that’s just their term for a fastball since the release point is low so it goes up, but something wasn’t the same for her and it probably affected all of her pitches.

June 7Jun 7 I could be misremembering but I could have sworn I heard one of the announcers say Canady’s spin rate had dropped significantly last night. So yea I’d say she fatigued/ Texas hitters adjusted really well.

It's thrown with spin. A rise is a different pitch from a standard fastball, with a different grip. Most girls are taught to feel like they are putting backspin on the ball, to keep it up in the air, fighting gravity. In actuality, most good rises have bullet spin. Here's our ace, Dolcini, from a few years ago throwing one where you can really see the spin.

June 7Jun 7 Cool. So you really have to get your fingers under the ball and snap your wrist to get that backspin. Not too different than curve and screw, really. And she throws a screw too, so that’s the same palm out motion.
June 7Jun 7 I wonder if goode has or can play 3b. Stewie doesn’t have the quickest to play it well, imo. If Goode can play it, maybe a 2b is the easier portal find.

Glasco said basically the same thing in his press conference…admitted he plans on working on having more pitchers pitch and not over-using Canady…as it was a factor in the loss….said our players seeing her for a 3rd day was also a big factor.
