I'm not a softball expert by any means but here is my theory:
Obviously, Jordy leaving left us in a huge bind as far as pitching goes. I know you recruit pitchers every year just like you should recruit quarterbacks every year. But when you have...

I appreciate the time and effort that you spent to develop the stats and to post them. Many kudos to you.
What you stats indicate are that the two series against Texas and Oklahoma State are statistical anomalies. They just happened to happened...
...hopefully portending a little spark heading to the post season.
7-2 bottom of the 6th. :cool:

I think our 2 freshmen might be our best players right now
They're confident, young and hungry for success, not worried about their entering the Brave New World, and not feeling like they have done it all, either...and yes, talented!
The Oklahoma Sooner Softball team rebounded on Sunday to win the final game of the series with Oklahoma State with a 8-2 win over the Cowgirls. the story of the game was Karlie Keeney. Keeney was the surprise starter, but it did make sense as she...

I also want to say that I thought Kasidi Pickering 2-run HR to LC in the bottom of the 4th inning was also a key hit in the game. It broke the drought of 0 HRs of the series and was hit on a 3-2 count with one out.

Would love to see BYU knock out OSU and have it end up with OU versus texas in the finals. I think we could beat both OSU and texas, and having just played OSU we may be really ready to take them again, but I would like to avoid it if at all...
Some if not many of our 4th and 5th year players production has recently been trending down. I'm sure film and familiarity contributes to this, as well as better defensive positioning, perhaps.
But the thing I'm really wondering about is if they...
The announcers pointed out how many walks the team has had this year. The most in D-1 and I wonder if all the walks are actually hurting the team. There has been several times our batters have taken the 3-0 pitch for a strike. It looks like the...

Almost nobody swings at a 3-0 pitch. It's not just us. In fact, I can't remember the last time that I saw anybody in softball swing at a 3-0 pitch. Blame analytics all you want, but a pitcher who can't throw a strike in the first three pitches isn't...
I'm afraid we may end up on the wrong side of the transfer portal after this season. Teams will come hard for Pickering and Parker. I'll be surprised if bland sticks around. It will be interesting to see what happens.

I think any speculation about anyone transferring out of the Sooner program is no more than idle chatter at this point. With 11 players returning next year (1 that has not played an inning due to injuries and a redshirt, NellieMac) the only three...
The Oklahoma Sooners took took the field on Saturday at Love's Field long enough at Noon for Nicole May to throw four pitches and have a 2-2 count before a lighting strike was detected within 8 miles of the stadium that halted play at 12:06. the...

I love the optimism here, but I'm just not feeling it. The fight/grit isn't there for whatever reason. Love these girls forever! It's been a joy to follow our seniors, and I look forward to the future. Losing definitely takes some getting used to. I...
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...

The Sooners have run up against a better team. Period.
Yep. The Pokes have played better ball the last two games. Hurts to say it.
We are seeing the chickens come home to roost I believe. All the games we won over the past few years by hitting...
There is no way to sugarcoat the loss by the Sooners in the opening game of the Bedlam series with Oklahoma State. The Cowgirls powered their way to the 6-3 win over the Sooners as they hit three HRs and 3 doubles. The duo of Karli Godwin (HR and 3...
Being the last regular weekend series, I was wondering how they would determine the regular season winner.
We all know that OU has a 1 game lead over UT and a 2 game lead over OSU. The weekend series are OU/OSU and UT/@ TT. Sooners win one game and...

With the Big 12 Tourney beginning on Wednesday for Tech in all likelihood, I think they will do everything they need to do to get all three games played by both teams (OU and Texas). Those two plus OSU will not play until Thursday.
oufanforever' posted this on another site. I thought I would post it here. I hope he/she does not mind I copied his post .
The final 26 has just been announced at and there are five sooners on the list:
Congratulations to Alyssa Brito, Jayda...

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.
Well, now it's time for the much anticipated pitching duel between Maxwell and Kilfoyl. Both pitchers are having very good seasons on their respective teams. Both have been named to a POY watchlist. Both are formidable pitchers especially when they...
I asked on another board (OKCTalk with all of the stadium construction progress pictures) if anyone knew how things at the stadium were continuing to come along. Someone replied that the team is practicing on Love's Field now, and using the indoor...

I feel bad for the 10 seniors, who have played on Love’s Field all season but won’t get to experience the locker rooms, etc, except for a few weeks.
For the season OU has committed 23 errors and OSU 29. Close there, although one or two errors in this game could be very costly. Here is what might well give the Sooners the edge: OSU for the season had 393 hits for a BA of .310. OU leads the nation...

Our players have to realize that they are now in the REAL season. It's mostly been a warm-up for the real deal(of course, no pun intended). Now, they have no excuses to not take their opponent seriously. However, the bigger challenge now is to...
