KD seems to have reached another level lately. Good for her! From what I could parse as to why, it is that she stopped trying so hard to be perfect....and started being a pitcher instead.

I really like this young lady!

I am so hoping everything gels for the team going down the stretch!

That all makes sense, '56! Thank you for putting in terms that are easy to understand. All the indicators that positively influence the LOB% favor the Sooners. It also makes sense that if the other team has only one base runner, and she scores, they have no runners left on base for a perfect LOB%......

Thank you '56 and Sooner Girl for your stats and thoughts about the stats. You certainly answered my questions and expressed my thoughts about the LOB "issue" for OU. I thrive on the dialogue between my own perceptions (often biased and based on what I Want to be happening rather than what...

Not being glib....but can anyone make the connection between spiritualism, analytics and statistics in softball? Not being glib...is there a connection between a player's or team's spiritualism and their OPS, BA, ERA, or Slug%? Are spiritual teams more successful than non-spiritual teams? How would ...

After Game 2.... ....It seems like the team has some things figured out a little better. Sounded like we played with more energy and focus (on the field and in the dugout). It showed in the hot start on defense and offense, and several clutch plays. Defense and pitching was solid again. Hitting/scor...

I listened to the game on the radio, however, I missed the first three innings. I was glad when I tuned in that the Sooners already had a lead and were holding the Cougars to zero. (The last couple weeks had me a bit anxious to jump in the middle of a game and hear the squad was behind. In the past,...

I can see why there was controversy! To my eyes, the catcher set up parallel to the infield edge of the baseline and in no way was completely blocking the runner's path to the plate. The catcher's back foot looked to be in front of the front of the plate and not between the runner and the plate. Tha...

Right when we need her!

Go, Cyd! Boomer!

It works this way for me in my mind with any team OU is facing from here on out: 1.) It is about OU being the best OU can be, and not about the opponent's record, past scores, stats versus this or that, etc. We can beat any team. We can lose to any team. Depends on the OU team that comes to play...a...

Effortless Power is the impression I got from the Miloy and Hutchins batting videos. Whoa! Knocked it OUT of the stadium several times - and one blast by Hutchins was off the scoreboard that Plank said would likely never be hit. Incredible!

Thank you for the write-up, '56! This game felt so much like Lousiana Reduex to me. Very similar vibe and results. Saying, "It is still possible to be a very good team," speaks to me about a couple of things: * It is hard to imagine such a statement being made about OU this year....that OU...

Just like Coach Gasso to plan ahead.....to a rocky 2025. Ha! Just kidding!!! OU needs to finish out this year as strong as they can, and worry about the future....in the future, IMO. The way I see it, this year is a monumental moment with Softball History holding its breath to see if the Sooners can...

In Coach's post-game interview with Plank on the radio, Patty was audibly frustrated with the no-show of the offense from the 2nd inning on. She even commented that she was still emotional about it. Coach is not complacent about anything - and she accused the team of being too "oh well" ab...

Yeah! I'll take the win all day, everyday!! Do you think that, with a decent lead, it is a mental challenge to go into "prevent mode?" How much of the "prevent" is from the players, and how much is from the coaches? I get the thinking in spades, hearts, clubs and diamonds. Go up ...
