Tennessee Softball 2023

[Ovol]

Karen gonna get run ruled, embarrassed, and lose the confidence of the team in less than 2 hours.

 

[Majors]

You all are being short sighted. Winning today doesn't mean much

Winning today means you’ve won the biggest game since the last time you were in OKC. You beat the team you’re chasing, now bringing in Simpson means you’re just happy to be there. This is huge for recruiting. Winning is the easiest path in tournament play

Karen better hope this little plan works out because right now I think just about everyone is completely miffed. Going with Pickens, Orsini and Simpson in this game. Two of those three have seen very little playing time this season.

OU fans becoming too obnoxious. About to hit the road earlier and start the trek home to Houston.

Wait not sticking around for the weekend?… that would make this game more annoying for sure

 

[VolGirl05]

And if we face them again Monday night, I bet we hit Bahl better than they hit Ashley

Again, posturing for a loss that had only happened in the mind. OU didn’t approach it that way, because they decided to play to win.

 

[therealitytheory]

Put Pickens back in and have her pump 75 mp----

ah well, nevermind. I kinda get this, but I don't like it.

Okay listen I know everyone is mad that we didn’t start Ashley or Payton, but you have to weigh the pros and cons of that decision. Imagine we started one of them and they throw 100+ pitches and we lose then what? We are down 1 pitcher having to go through the elimination bracket?

 

[KptVFL]

Pitching strategy nooooot exactly working out! Ugg

 

[Switch 625]

Absolutely terrible coaching strategy. Weak.

 

[chad954ut]

Absolutely terrible coaching strategy. Weak.

Very weakly

 

[rockytop36]

By every account it seems Oklahoma is unlikely to even get beat once and if that is truly the case I would save my pitchers as well lol

 

[OrangePark]

When you play top teams, your weaknesses are shown
1) KP won’t be a #1
2) Defense is slow
3) After 3 spot in batting order we can’t hit

 

[Sadie0051]

OU is in another league then the other 7 teams in the World Series. It's not even close. Has anyone gone back and looked at their scores this year.

 

[Switch 625]

This ump is corrupt.

3 is false because the bottom of the lineup has got us here.

KP won’t be a #1 in your eyes. she’s got the stuff, she just needs the experience and an off season to work on her stuff.

 

[VolGirl81]

Absolutely terrible coaching strategy. Weak.

Kinda agree. Pitch your best to win and stay in that winner’s bracket

 

[Sadie0051]

We strike them out and they are rewarded with walks. Lol

 

[volman128]

Ok you see that but don’t see Bahl leaping every single pitch

 

[Nicholaus Saban]

Idc if it's Ashley, Payton or Monica Abbott, we aren't beating this team in 2023. There's a reason analytics says they're the best team ever. Dream all you want, this is reality.

No I’ve been in OKC since Wednesday and if Karen isn’t going to fight for it, then no need to spend another $300 a day on a hotel. I’ll go home watch the Vols baseball and get some work done around the house.

We need a real shortstop for sure and a catcher that isn’t a walking out.

Then that’s how it is. Best on best vs. potential run rule to save arms. OU is playing for now and that’s we need to be doing. 5-0 is a moot point now

 

[OrangePark]

You have no clue what you're talking about.
There's a much bigger picture today

Are you crazy, bigger picture they haven’t been to the WCWS since 2015 and we aren’t playing to win are you crazy

Yes. I also noticed they lost to Baylor and barely beat Washington and Liberty...
