March 1, 20205 yr Author BSU up 2-1. Already 6 hits and 2 runs off Elish I don’t think this’ll last pitching Miranda so much. Mike has to give Day and Shea more opportunities. Even Adams

March 2, 20205 yr Author Through 23 games, we are 20-3. We've already almost hit half our win total from last year (46-17). Through 23 games in 2019, we were 19-4. So not a big difference there in record. Quality of wins/losses is way different: 2020 - we've already beaten #12, #10/9, #1, #2 and #13/11, with losses to #10/9, RV Duke and RV Fresno State (3 losses by 3 runs total) 2019 - we had beaten RV California, #18/21 Kentucky, RV Ole Miss twice, #15/17 ASU. We had some bad losses in there - 6 run loss to #8/7 LSU, 2 run loss to RV Wisconsin in 9 innings, 3 run loss to #15/17 ASU and a 3 run loss to #22/RV Minnesota (4 losses by a total of 14 runs) In 2019, we hit 41 HR in 63 games. We already have 20 in 23 games. We are on pace to beat 41 HR pretty easily. The extra power is coming from Day (5) and Elish (4) - Elish is already 2 off her 2019 total. Shannon has hit 2 (8 in 2019) and Iakopo has 3 (11 in 2019) so I expect these to increase. Burke has already matched her 2019 total. The Longhorn Invitation teams coming in should provide some stat padding and opportunities for Day, Adams and Shea to get innings and let Elish rest. Not even sure I'd pitch her this weekend if you don't have to. Liberty - 7-11 record, though they do have a win over Ole Miss and Michigan Texas Southern - 7-10 New Mexico - 10-10, though they do have a win over Stanford Honestly, I'd say save Elish for the T-Town Showdown, where we face Alabama twice (March 13 and March 15). Then we have the week off until we head to Norman (March 20-22). We will know by March 23 if Texas is going to contend for the Big 12 or play second fiddle.
March 2, 20205 yr Author College Sports Madness: #3 (up 2) D1 Sports: #2 (up from 3) Our losses are to #5/6 ULL, #20/25 Fresno and unranked Duke. The unofficial RPI has Texas #2 behind Washington but above ULL.

March 3, 20205 yr Author Texas is #1 in the new D-1 Softball poll UCLA (beaten) #2 UW (beaten) #3 ULL (1-1 record) #5 OU (3 games) #6 OSU (3 games) #9 Alabama (2 games) #11 Michigan (beaten) #17 Baylor (3 games) #23 Utah (beaten) #24 So far that is 5-1 record versus the top 25 with 11 more games to play.

March 4, 20205 yr Author The Cal coach retired suddenly due to health reasons. Of course, their associate HC will be the interim.

She has greatly improved Slack. (though work to be done 😉) And the chemistry between her and MW would be difficult to replace.

Because she's an alum, she has Pac-12 coaching experience and she's not a head coach, so she's cheap. Cal can't pay. The current coach makes jack shit, to my knowledge.
