Re: Big 12 Softball Standings and Weekend Series Rundown

yeah...I was glad to see texas lose a game as well. I think maybe Kilfoyl just pitched lights out--career game, but don't know for sure. I expect tejas to take the next two. Kinda surprised Kavan lasted as long as she did. She's getting thrown into hostile environments--LSU and Stillwater....will do...

Re: The Surprising Kansas Jayhawks==Can They Steal a Game From the Sooners??

That line up looks solid to me, Trop! The only question I have for you is why Boone is not in the 9 hole instead of Ludlam? Maybe Coach Tropical wants to keep the best hitters as bunched or strung together as possible - and Ludlam is the weak link? I guess the question about who will start at 2B is...

Re: The Surprising Kansas Jayhawks==Can They Steal a Game From the Sooners??

In the past, part of the fun of game anticipation was trying to predict what the lineups would be like. Now that we use all this analytics and computer driven models, that is really hard to do. But I'm going to try anyway- Ha! And I am going to assume lefty Kasey Hamilton gets the start for the bird...

Re: Why are our pitchers seldom

I don't know about whether Maxwell, Deal, or Monti, have change ups in the bag of tricks or not. But I was under the impression that May and even Geurin both had a nasty change up in theirs. Perhaps I'm wrong about that. Would like more info on our pitchers if anyone knows? But what Bix said does ma...

Re: Big 12 Softball Standings and Weekend Series Rundown

If Kavan thought she was in a hostile environment at LSU, wait until she's in the middle of screaming Cowgirl fans smacking the side of the stadium with their paddles. She won't last the first inning. I look for Czech or Morgan to bail her out and stay in until she gets some salt under her wings---o...

The Surprising Kansas Jayhawks==Can They Steal a Game From the Sooners??

Last Fall when I wrote my "New Big 12 Review"--and even right up to just before the season started--Kansas was not on my radar for any meaningful achievement. They might steal a game from OSU like in the Championship post season last year. But I didn't see anything really turning around fo...

Re: OU's Emerging Team Identity?

23 also had my favorite double play.
The "dropped" fly ball by Jayda Colemen in shallow CF, relay to Lyons to step on 2B for a force and relay to 3B for a tag on a runner.
I believe one of our posters had a name for that kind of play, but it slips my mind.
It was a thing of beauty.

Re: Other B12 Conf Games Weekend of 3/21 - 3/24 -- Anything of Interest to You??

OSU at BYU Thu 3/21 - Sat 3/23 Can BYU sneak a game away from the Cowgirls? I hadn't thought so until Tulsa grabbed one Tuesday night. Now I'm not so sure. THUR: OSU 3 BYU 2 FRI: Cougars bounce back--win 11-8. SAT: OSU Runrules BYU 10-2 in 6 innings. Takes Series 2-1 Kansas at Houston Can Kansas con...

Re: OU's Emerging Team Identity?

For me, I guess I see the team as a "Power Team"...both in hitting and also in pitching. I can't really say that about the defense, though. The Defense is good, of course, but we just have more miscues defensively--infield primarily--than what I recall in the past. Base running leaves a lo...
