Re: OU-BYU in Big 12 tourney May 10

Add 4 runs for OU. Hannah Coor batting with no outs. Coor hits a single up the middle and now we're up 10-0. Lillio batting. She flies out deep, for first out. Bland is batting. Is she related to Bobby (Blue) Bland? She walks. Hodge at bat. Sac fly, and Ludlam comes home for 11-0 Sooners. Error mad...

Re: OU-BYU in Big 12 tourney May 10

Texas beats Baylor 14-3, run-ruled similar to OU vs BYU, in that Baylor got their 3 runs in the top of the 5th to erase the goose egg on the scoreboard. OU has a chance to beat Texas for the Big 12 Championship trophy, UT has the regular season championship. If our pitching is as good as it was toda...

Re: Big 12 Softball Tourney Thoughts: Play-In & Seeded Games W & TH

Yep, the Pokes committed 5 errors, allowing 3 unearned runs. WTG, Pokies!

We will be playing the BYU Coogs at 5PM in tomorrow's game.

Ronnie O'Sullivan, a Snooker Legend!

Way, way back in the day, I used to hang out at the Puritan Billiard Parlor in Ark City, my hometown, and in the late 50s, (or at least in THIS pool hall) there was ONE pool table and 6 snooker tables. Also about 3 or 4 tables where players played dominoes or pitch (with pitch-rocks instead of cards...

Re: The Elephant in the Room

Question for the board: Has it occurred to anyone else what the impact would be/was of Kelly Maxwell having to pitch against her erstwhile teammates? The mental aspect of it? Obviously, there isn't NEARLY the mental aspect of trying to knock the socks off of a teammate who (from their perspective) d...

Re: SOONER bats wake up...

Yeah, WONDERFUL feeling seeing those bats wake up! I really thought that the OU coaching staff had out thought themselves by bringing Deal in for the 6th inning, who promptly loaded the bases, then when Karlie re-entered, giving up the tying 2RBI single (although those 2 runs were charged to Kiersto...

Re: Sooners drop Game #2 of Bedlam 6-2 after leading 2-1 thru 5 inn

OUBeliever56: to your point about the two reviews that went against OU, both seemingly open-and-shut in OU's favor, what can you say? We all saw the replays: Boone's foot clearly beat the ball to the fielder's mitt! Had the call gone to OU, we would have had Hansen at the plate with the bases loaded...

Re: Bedlam Game #2

Can someone tell me why Sanders is still starting? I'll try: She is probably our best 1st baseman, excellent fielder, great at stretching and digging the throws out of the dirt. Oh, and while her batting average, like some other of her teammates, has slumped of late, she is always a threat to go ya...

Re: Bedlam Game #2

And Gajewski's backdoor strategy of starting his 2nd stringers and finishing with Kilfoyl has worked like a charm. We had numerous opportunities early in both games to plate runs, but weren't able to get the timely hit. And Nicole May gave us all that she could. But she just doesn't seem to be able ...

Re: Bedlam Game #2

Bottom line in the Bedlam series so far: OSU has been playing like a Top 4 team. OU, sadly, has not. Our hitting was already in a slump before the series, but our pitching has also disappeared. Consider: yesterday we got out hit 7-3, out homered 3-0. Today, we got out hit 10-5 and out homered 4-0. H...

Yep. The Pokes have played better ball the last two games. Hurts to say it.

Re: Bedlam Game #2

Ah well, we've lived by the HR the last few years, looks like we're gonna die by the long ball.

After May gives up 3 during her stint, Maxwell gives up a 3 run bomb. 6-2.
