Kavan: 2 complete games / 14 innings, 0 ER, 227 pitches Pickens: 2 complete games + a 1-inning start / 16.2 innings, 8 ER, 300 pitches Canady: 2 complete games / 14 innings, 1 ER, 194 pitches Landry: 2 complete games + relief / 18.1 innings, 4 ER, 310 pitches The aces are back, baby! Today should be awesome - can TK and Canady pitch game 1 victories and not bother with testing the bullpens (or their arms) in if-necessary games? Can Pickens and Landry be effective after 300+ pitches in 3 of the last 4 days and pitching on back to back days after both threw on Sunday?
June 2Jun 2 No game 2 needed for Texas and Tennessee, so we chill until 6pm for Tech and OU Texas has advanced, winning their bracket 3-0 and outscoring Florida, OU and Tennessee 9-2 (both runs unearned)
June 2Jun 2 Yes For instance, TK has 64 ER in 189.1 IP - her official ERA is 2.37 64*7 Divided by 189.1
June 2Jun 2 I was surprised to see the format of today’s schedule. Didn’t want to keep changing locker rooms, or just want Oklahoma in both later tv slots?

They've always done it this way. Prevents something like Texas-Tenn needing a game 7, but having to wait for OU-Tech to finish first. But if OU-Tech need a game 7 after playing their game, they would have to play 30 min later instead of a 3+ hour rest period. Speaking of, Tech needs to win game 1 today or it's likely over. If OU figures out Canady and scores a few runs off her early, I'd pull her and play for game 2 than continue to let them see her.

Unless you’re Tim Walton lol Like how she just goes about her business when she strikes out a batter. Canady and Pickens talk so much fucking shit. Edited June 2Jun 2 by Js1

Yea, other than the goofy librarian glasses and being a sooner... she's not too bad.

June 2Jun 2 OU might be fucked lol. I think they will score 0-2 runs in regulation against Canady. So if they give up another, it's gonna be tough for them.
June 2Jun 2 Oh shit, rbi triple into the corner. If Tech can push this 2nd run across it could be curtains. Got any more fatties to ph to screen off a steal of home?
June 2Jun 2 Just now, Js1 said: Reese better be ready, Tech putting runners in motion it manufacture offense Cant get in motion if they dont get on base. TK has got this.
June 2Jun 2 Not sure why Glasco put the bat in the hands of someone who hasn’t batted yet in the WCWS, maybe not even in the regionals.
June 2Jun 2 Yeah that was weird. Win a runner on 1st and 2 outs maybe he wanted more power but then the runner ended up stealing 2nd and 3rd.

Fat girl at the plate with a runner on 3rd… Yeah, I have no idea what he was thinking. (Because we definitely haven’t seen that before from TT.) 🙄

June 3Jun 3 Pretty spot on quote from a poster at Red Raider Sports: For those struggling for context. This is Texas Tech football in their first year under a new HC going up against Nick Saban's Alabama in the CFB playoffs and leading 21-0 going into the locker-room at halftime.
June 3Jun 3 I mean, it’s not the same team as the 4-peat. It’s the same brand but this is a young team with very little WCWS experience.

June 3Jun 3 Hope our coaches are taking lots of notes on these Tech players. Not the same old Tech team.
