Thanks for your thoughtful comments '56...appreciate them so much. I did happen to catch some more information on Emmy Guthrie on Plank's radio show this week. He said that yes, she is still with the team and practicing with the team. She apparently did not travel to California two weeks ago, but sh...

simply Awesome!

Agreed.

Boomer!

Yep....last year's numbers were unbelievable. But poor Patty was just scrambling to find anyone to play after the covid shutdown. This year's teams have had a bit more game to them. I've been thinking about the first two weeks so far this year...and I've come up with a couple of observations: Defens...

Whatever number she stops at....I'll bet it will never be broken.
And I don't use always and never lightly....just with the new lightweight and softer balls coming....don't see how anyone will ever come close.

Wow!
That's huge '56..... Hats off to you.
Thanks!

Yeah....me too....
guess they didn't like us turning in those short 5 inning games and they wanted to clip the offenses to have more pitching duels going 7-8-9-10 innings....

My memory is really foggy on this but I think they were to start being used in the '23 season. Fewer HR's I would suspect. And, but not sure about this, since they are softer or lighter I guess, they would be less dense so pitching speeds would be a bit lower? Anybody else got a thought on this?

Sure thing.

Early look at McNeese St...they played Texas this aftn. Texas won 8-4 in 7 innings. WP for Texas was their freshman Simpson. McNeese's top pitcher Vallejo took the loss. Simpson had 9k's for Tex. Vallejo had 1.

Texas 8 11 2

YES! Congratulations to both Jennings and Bahl -- well deserved awards. And yes, Bahl is really something special.

Just think......if we're still in the Big 12 next year...then the Houston game could be a conference game?????

'56 you elaborated very nicely about what my original thinking was on my original comment but I didn't carry it out on the board. I think if McAdoo can get some meaningful innings she might be able to improve and provide some meaningful innings both this year and next. She will be a senior next year...

I know that it's still early......but it's almost starting to look like it may be more difficult to see McAdoo or Guthrie... We may still run rule teams this year but it looks more like 8-0 or 10-0 type of scores rather than the 24-2 or 30-1 scores like last year so the second tier pitchers won't be...

I think Trautwein will get the start as well. I hope we can get far enough ahead that we might get to see McAdoo get some time. Maybe even Guthrie??
