Re: Final Thoughts about Todays Super Regional with the Noles

Stats from SA: Danley throws 36% Curve ball, 30% Drop ball, and 20% Changeup for her top 3 pitches Gooden throws 39% Drop ball, 19% Curve ball, and 18% Screw ball for her top 3 pitches These would suggest OU want to have a line up with Drop ball and curve ball hitters (e.g., Brito) higher in the or...

Re: OU SB: Ella Parker is a Top-3 Finalist for Freshman of the Year!

Pick did make the top 25 list, but was dropped when they whittled it down to top 10.
I'm glad Ella is still in the running as one of the top 3 finalists.
However, I'm going to guess it's Rothrock that's going to wind up with it.

Final Thoughts about Todays Super Regional with the Noles

It really is all about the pitching. Royalty is done for the year and although Coach Lonni keeps saying Reid is 'day to day', I really believe that is just a smoke screen. I think Danley is the only pitcher they've got that's worth a rip, with m a y b e some spot relief by the other freshman, Goodin...

Re: Some initial thoughts about the FSU - OU Super Regional

Dang! I feel so badly for her. This is a real bummer. You want to win, of course, but you want to win against the best-to be known as the best. And with two of their 3 top rotational pitchers out, this just casts a damper on the series. Seeing this, we better not let our guard down because understaf...

Re: Some initial thoughts about the FSU - OU Super Regional

I'm just going to add on to OUBeliever's thread rather than start another one. Florida State at first seemed like a Jekyll and Hyde team...had some nice wins and then some head scratching losses. And like Believer pointed out above, the losses were not (generally) tight game losses, they were specta...

Re: Who Do You Think Will Be The Last 8 Standing To Go To OKC???

Here's Mine: Texas vs A&M== Texas Trisha Ford has done amazing things for the Aggies and they do have a very capable pitcher in Emiley Kennedy so I think they will be able to push the whorns as well as anybody in the Super Regionals. And the Aggies do have 7 starters hitting over .300. But I thi...

Re: Sooners win the Regional with a 3-2 win over the Ducks on Sunday

I agree The Far Journey. I think May is getting to a good spot and I know Maxwell has been at one most of the year. I really believe the OSU game/series was all about facing her old team. I posted this in an older thread, but I don't think she has that cutthroat mentality to take out old friends. I...

Who Do You Think Will Be The Last 8 Standing To Go To OKC???

Who are your favorites to be the last 8 teams standing that will wind up in OKC at the WCWS??? Who will be upset? Who is your Cinderella Team? [ Edit: Well, I guess no real 'Cinderella Teams this year....everyone is a power team--more or less....except maybe Baylor--that was not expected by me. ] Wh...

Re: My thoughts on the NCAA Softball Regionals: Winners Odds Listed

I don't know enough about all the teams in the tournament, so I can't really put any odds down on who has the best chance of winning. But based on what I observed over the final few weeks of the regular season, I have some thoughts on which hosts I think don't make it out of their Regional. LSU---I ...

Re: My Thoughts for the Norman Regional for 2024

I haven't seen anywhere that the game between Oregon and Boston will be televised on network TV, so I imagine that it will be streamed on ESPN+. If so, I will probably be watching it! It would be a huge surprise if OU does not cruise through their Regional 3-0, but a really seasoned, talented team ...

My Thoughts for the Norman Regional for 2024

Here's my thoughts about the Norman Regional for 2024--the team we know we are going to face, and the other two possibilities. Cleveland State University, Cleveland OH (22-24) (15-10) Horizon League The way I see it, if you are going to be one of the last 4 in (and only because you won your conferen...
