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.

Re: Bedlam Game #2

Cannot BELIEVE that, after that lengthy review, that the officials called Rylie out at 2nd! We now have the bases loaded, one out, should be NO outs... Brito is Due! 3-2 count, Kilfoyl delivers and struck out Brito. Torres needs to come up with a hit! Kilfoyl walked her for an RBI! Pickering up, bas...

Bedlam Game #2

Nicole May is the starter in the circle for OU and the game barely gets underway, with the first batter facing a 2-2 count, when we encounter a weather delay (typically a 30 minute stoppage when as a result of lightning, which was the case).
Stand by, this could be a long day...

Re: Introducing Raegan Beers - Oregon State Transfer to the Sooners!

Jenny just hired an associate head coach from Oregon state (he had same position there), so perhaps a package deal. The same thought occurred to me! I'd be willing to bet that the hiring of Jonas Chatterton, the Oregon State coach influenced Raegan a bunch! Jenny just got through making a home-run ...

Re: Bedlam game #1

This is how its been the majority of the year. Get runners on base and leave them there. It looks like we are hoping to walk, being unwilling to swing until we have to. There's something(s)? obviously wrong. I've been thinking a little bit more about Game 1 of the Bedlam series, and have come to th...
