Re: Sooners drop Game #2 of Bedlam 6-2 after leading 2-1 thru 5 inn
I couldn't agree more with your conclusions about playing freer, having the talent, and chances as good as anyone's. No matter how it turns out, these last four seasons have been a great ride.

Re: Bedlam game #1
Feels more like we rely on analytics than we do on straight up hitting the ball. Our MO seems like it's all about on-base percentage which is great until you need a hit to drive those base runners in.

Re: OU Sooners Host Houston in 3-Game Series @ Love's Field: F, S, S
As has been said, it would seem logical that faith allows players to play freer, and that's a good thing for athletes or anyone, but it's not the only thing that determines wins and losses. Marry faith with great talent and great coaching, then you have three Natties in a row and maybe four. If you'...

Re: It’s OU-Texas week
Totally love your comments Tropical. Agree about the closer role. Against texas we will see if Patty/Jenn feel like calling the game loose or conservative. I highly doubt we see the merry go round of players in Austin that we have seen up to this point. I figure unless our starter pitcher starts ha...

Re: The Surprising Kansas Jayhawks==Can They Steal a Game From the Sooners??
My very quick take on yesterday's game with Kansas: It appeared to me that what we witnessed yesterday was two games within a game. The first game was the typical Sooner Power game and that game lasted all of three innings. 3 home runs, 6 singles and 6 runs scored. It looked like Hamilton was going...

Re: Sooner Softball: Sunday win 11-1 plus thoughts and hopes to come
After a review of the career doubles by Tiare Jennings, it is clear to me that the correct total for Tiare Jennings' career doubles is now 59. I do spend a great deal of energy and time to track things. But, as you all know, I am far from perfect in my typing and sometimes in the postings. But it i...

Re: Portal for 2024
My worry for next year is pitching. I think if Patty has to go with several freshmen in the lineup, they at least will be among the top in the country coming in and by May of 25, they should be seasoned performers. Coming in the fall of 25 will be two top five pitchers in Bordi and Riley Zache's sis...

Re: Heads Up! Mary Nutter Tournament starts Today!! Are the teams we face any good???
I don't know about anybody else but I thought the start times of the Friday games were a typo. OU plays Miss State in the late game, then Wisc in the later game, 10:00pm Pacific coast start but midnight for both the OU and Wisconsin teams' inner clocks. And we know that game won't start then. I'm ol...

Re: So! What Do You Think So Far?
It's still early... What do you think about the team so far this year? Pretty much the same as I did last year. Hitting not there yet. Pitching, Jordy was struggling. Defense was often saving us. Coach was saying on a scale of one to ten we were playing at a four or five. And still we were winning....

Re: Jennings to Start at Short (per report)
Thanks for posting your takeaways on Coach Gasso's PC last night. Even though she phrased it " I'm thinking Jennings is the shortstop" leaving the door open a tiny crack for some late maneuvering, there does seem to be a bit more verbal traffic about Jennings at short--like when Brito tal...

Re: MacKenzie Donihoo Medically Retiring
Yep, two plays mark the 2021 series for me: Alo's home run to put OU up in game two and Lou's catch in left field, banging the ball against the wall, then turning around and unleashing that primal scream. That's forever Sooner.

Re: 2024 Schedule: Now That We've Had Time to Digest it--What Are Your Thoughts About Our Schedule for the Coming Season
It does seem illogical for a top team to duck OU, though that seems to be what's happened over the last few years. They're not going to go undefeated and the softball committee is hardly going to penalize them for a loss to OU. In fact, they'll be rewarded for playing a tough opponent. They also get...

Re: So........What Do We Do With Hannah Coor?????
Some excellent posts here, thoughtful and spot on. I think most people seem to agree on what we will see next spring and only differ in small degrees. Patty said in her last post Battle series presser that she won't answer who will start because she doesn't know. But she mentioned Coor a lot. Coor's...
