February 14, 20196 yr Just now, Kel Varnsen said: This season is already more enjoyable than the entire last several seasons. Since our 3rd place finish in the WCWS, for sure. We may finally have the guy to get us back to OKC and do better than 3rd.

February 14, 20196 yr 2 minutes ago, FloridaHorn said: FIFY I'd say Ellsworth, Hathaway, Washington and Bollinger are good pieces too. But Jefferson was by far the best asset she left for Mike.
February 14, 20196 yr no doubt that they are nice pieces to have, but Jefferson is the only player Connie left that can play for any team in the country.

February 14, 20196 yr Our early season tournament was about on par with what we will face against ISU and KU in the Big 12 - we did fine Cal is about on par with Tech - we did fine LSU will be just a step below OU - TBD Kentucky will be on par with OSU and Baylor - TBD
February 14, 20196 yr 5 games so far: 42-3 scoring margin 4 run-rules 3 shutouts 2 ER given up on the year (0.52 ERA)
February 14, 20196 yr More: .387 average (45-116) 11 doubles, 2 triples, 2 homers 11-11 SB 20 BB, 18 K (only 1 of those strikeouts has come from a Burnt Orange Duck) Edited February 14, 20196 yr by Js1
February 14, 20196 yr Through 5 games last year: Record: 3-2 Scored 15, Given up 14 ERA: 3.13 AVG: .227 11 BB / 15 K
February 14, 20196 yr One thing I noticed is we have much better plate discipline and are drawing more walks (almost double the walks last year, as the stats above show). That's mostly coaching.
February 15, 20196 yr LSU is 7-0 and 6 of their wins were run rules. That would be a big win if we could beat them.
February 15, 20196 yr They struggled yesterday against OSU. They feasted on bad competition to get those run-rules. Way curious how that offense looks against Texas today and FSU tomorrow. Probably a lot like yesterday.
February 15, 20196 yr Texas-LSU FSU-OU Some marquee Friday games. Good job with this tournament lineup, ESPN
February 15, 20196 yr O'Leary gets the start (as I guessed right). Hathaway CF Jefferson 2B Washington 1B Rhodes 3B Iakopo C Elish DP Tedder RF Slack SS Hayter LF
February 15, 20196 yr Rhodes 2 run HR Iakopo walks Elish RBI double Ducks going duck things for Texas 3-0 Texas after 1

Watching this duck/lsu game and their top to bottom talent seems well above ours. Tonight should be fun.
February 15, 20196 yr 7 groundouts for O'Leary. Good thing we had a top infield defense in 2018 and most of it returned.
February 15, 20196 yr Thing is all of it returns next year too. Alcozer and Bolinger are really the only contributing SRs we lose.
February 15, 20196 yr And now a 2-run yack by FSU, all with 2 outs. OU’s scheduled SP was a late scratch.
February 15, 20196 yr Now have 4 homers as a team in 6 games (Iakopo, Rhodes 2, Elish) We had 25 in 59 games last year.
February 15, 20196 yr 15 minutes ago, Kel Varnsen said: Oregon now up 4-1 over LSU This LSU offense struggles against even average-ish pitching. Elish or Bollinger give us a real shot at a win today.
February 15, 20196 yr We had bases loaded no outs in the 5th and could have ended it - nope, DP and a flyout. FAU scores 1 in the top of the 6th 5-1 Texas b6
