You can tell which game Florida values by who they start in the circle. Starting Brown is a sign they valued the Georgia games more.

Thank you for sharing them here. I didn't realize how many attended the camp but I am glad to share a first glimpse into our possible future stars.

The camp photos are all from Marita Hynes. The batting practice after the game can happen probably because all the construction equipment and materials have been put away for game day already. On a normal day I don’t think all the stuff gets put away during the night.

One thing Patty said in the pregame yesterday was: data is showing BYU's pitcher throws a change up first pitch 70%, yet all of our batters still is looking for a hard pitch to hit and just refuse to swing at something they know is likely coming. That to me is a mentality problem. Trying to hit the ...

I wanted to see our bench players play well because they will be part of OU's future. I want to see them take the opportunities they have and shine, push the starters for playing time. Patty always said iron sharpens iron and intense competition within the team pushes everyone to be better. Now I do...

A group of us was talking last night driving back from Austin. We identified that after the starting nine players right now, that there are not many options to make changes or to pinch-hit. Coor had the only at bat by non-starters this weekend and that was after a defensive replacement. I think onl...

One thing I want to point out is the hitting depth of our bench has been depleted by the portal somewhat. I don't remember Patty using a single pinch hitter in game 2 and 3 when we really needed a clutch 2 out hit. In previous years, we had Elam, Green, Nugent, Erickson, and other bats that can come...

We need to recruit a whistler

. The Sooners will be very young entering the SEC in 2025. But perhaps only 2 or 3 teams in the SEC will have the talent that OU has on their roster. But that young talent will be unproven. Only time and experience will allow them to be "proven". I’m curious who you see as more talented t...

IMO Patty badly wanted to make Maxwell the closer because she has a good change up. Keeney and Monticelli probably can throw one but it is not reliable. At the highest level, you are not going to be able to throw pitches by hitters on speed alone. You have to have a change in speed somewhere to prev...

No. This is completely new and they need to build up a history of doing a good job of ranking teams first before getting sold to the committee and coaches.

I do not see a time referenced above. Help.

The 1.7s pop time is what Patty said during her press availability.



Around 2:15 mark.

JUST in case, do we have anyone else as emergency catcher? Can Cyd or Parker, maybe Torres?

Torres won the emergency catcher try out and is our backup until Hansen returns.
