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: Final Thoughts about Todays Super Regional with the Noles

What a game by Brito, both offensively and defensively. Also, what a game by Jennings making the huge defensive play in the first and follow it up with a bomb.

Re: Bedlam game #1

I don’t believe for one second OSU and Kenny was fine with all the walks. You can go listen to him post game here. https://youtu.be/ZqiAd3bC18U?si=cdoYPSYilOOzhrwF OSU played well on offense and played poorly pitching and on defense, Kenny’s words. It is just OU played even worse on offense and pitc...

Re: Bedlam game #1

Maxwell walks one batter in the first and she almost scored on a close play at home. She walks a batter and hits a batter in the 3rd, both scores. Deal walks a batter in the 5th, she scores. Good teams take advantage of free bases except OU. With Aycock not being able to throw a strike consistently,...

Re: Just wondering how they would handle rainouts

It is win %. In fact, the conference standings are based on win% not games won.

Re: Five Sooners named in Top 26 finalist for USA Softball POY

Canady is still the favorite to me. Spaid could win it if she breaks the single season HR record. 3rd is hard to say but I don't believe an OU player can win it unless she goes on a hot streak starting this weekend.

Re: Big 12 Softball Bedlam Series: Sooner Host OSU on Fri, Sat, Sun

Love your previews 56! I'm sure it takes a lot of time to put that all together. Thank you for your insights. I know the stats look to be in OU's favor, but I'm not as optimistic as you are. We have definitely been spoiled for the past several years with historic levels of dominance & elite per...

Re: Other Games Week of 4/23

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.

Re: ICYMI -- UCLA and Stanford

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GLnZvk3XoAA1vnN?format=jpg&name=900x900 The new rule as written: leading edge of the plate is in fair territory so the catcher's knee coming down on the foul line by definition blocked part of the leading edge. Also, the new rule also doesn't require blocking the ent...

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.

Re: Youngsters taking batting practice under the lights at Love's Field

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.

Re: BYU outplays Sooners in 3 phases and wins 9-4 - OU loses 3 of 5

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 ...
