So, maybe Deal becomes our #2 pitcher??? I love that Deal is starting to hit her stride. I think the rotation stays Maxwell-May-Deal but it is critical to have Deal step up about now in prep for post season. Reminds me a bit of a few different years where we had the one steady pitcher, like Paige P...

I'm guessing we are going to hit the portal hard after this year. We may have some great frosh players coming in, but we need experience and after what we lose this year we are going to have very little good players with experience. I'm guessing quite a few leave and make room for some older transfe...

Soonerindallas: After last weekend, I'm not sure (that we hit well enought)is true. We just are not the potent lineup we have been the last few years. We only lost one regular from last year(Lyons), and she was a spurt hitter. Very good at times, but not consistent. We blasted Czech and Gutierrez l...

I didn't mean to imply they were not motivated. But as has been pointed out - this team is full of players that have 3 NC rings. At some point all the motivation and what inspires them has to change to some degree to really still get the best output. I do agree that the musical chair line-up always ...

I so appreciate all the comments after this weekend's series and hate starting a new thread. But I really think this will be a turning point for the team, either good or bad. Does losing motivate them? As was stated, the majority of players on this team have 3 rings. There is very little more they h...

I was worried about playing texas in Austin since February. I knew of all the coaches out to prove something - Mike White is probably the best. FSU and Tenn have coaches with weakness, Mike White is not that. After OSU won 2 - I had lots more hope as I really think OU is still the best team in the s...

Sooner domination is over. Tough to accept All the stars aligned for texas to win this one. The fact that this was played at texas is probably the biggest thing I was concerned about. They were gunning for OU and they got us. We didn't play all that bad and some of our hits were good - just placed ...

texas wins again 2-1 and wins the series. Our hitting let us down this weekend. Perhaps we need to really focus on that and reset. Hoping it pays dividends for the post season. Our pitching is good enough to win - our hitting just wasn't this weekend (although texas has never played defense as well ...

This just may not be our weekend, we've had bad luck more than anything else. texas playing other-worldly defense, 2 pitches and poor hitting has maybe cost us this series today.

We've pitched well enough and played good enough defense to win. Our hitting really needs something....not sure if it is the line-up or what.

:ou: I think Patty out coached herself when she didn't pull May earlier. Once they got that 3 or 4th hit off May and got the lead, they had all the momentum. I can't stand to watch Texas celebrate and to listen to ladies from ESPN do cheers for Texas. I had to turn it off He who laughs last laughs ...

On the play, I guess Maya should have tried to run more wide of the catcher or jump over her, something like that maybe? That would have gone down in instant red river rivalry lore. Oh well at least we showed fight, just a little too little a little too late. Big kudos to Hansen and Boone - they are...

Does patty make the call on pitching or does Rocha? The pitching changes have been weird all year. When they should pull someone, they leave them in. When they should leave someone in, they pull them. There seems to be no feel for the pitching this year. Hopefully someone doesn't come after deal ne...

Guiterez pithed the game that osu lost as well - and that score was 2-1. Interesting. Guiterez may be texas' best pitcher. We will probably see Czech tomorrow - so hoping our bats are cracking!

I'm far from an expert in softball but Texas' outfield outplayed ours tonight. That is a rarity for sure. We seemed to hit balls they made plays on and just a few of theirs got away from us. It was good test and I hope we learned something from it. I really would like to see us settle in on a lineu...
