already some potential upsets!!

Ole Miss is up 9-6 in the 6th over Arkansas
South Carolina is up 7-2 on UCLA in the 6th as well

Florida beat Georgia 6-1 in a game that was never in question.

South Carolina beating UCLA isn't technically an upset, an 8 beating a 9

this tournament has been incredible. and then there’s OU out here curb stomping teams.

 

[Reesemc]

Do you think OU will go after the Belmont pitcher, Maya Johnson? Is Landry a Jr or Sr?

 

[Soonercuda]

This is Landry’s last year of eligibility. Good chance we want to add an experienced pitcher like Johnson.

Some guys on dirt burglars are questioning Johnson against top talent. Ye she led D1 in several categories but stats can be misleading.

We all defer, as we should, to Gasso. If she wants her there is a reason and I’m good with it.

Does anyone know how Sophia Bordi is doing and if they (team mates) stay in contact.?

I agree. After Bahl left. All she did was pick Maxwell and Landry. That proves she knows what she is doing.

Don’t know any of that but saw something about her saying “her girls”… so I THINK she’ll be back but if not IIWII.

clutch city

 

[tycat947]

As Patty says, CLUTCHNESS!!!

 

[MsProudSooner]

I bet Mike White is thrilled!

 

[Soonerguy06]

that was maybe the BEST walk-off homer i've seen at the WCWS!! I think i lost my voice screaming and almost gave my dog a heart attack! Parker, man...so freakin' good!

 

[Sooner04]

Just mind-boggling, the clutchness. 21 outs, however they may come.

 

[Soonerguy06]

Well Texas hit one run Homer in the bottom of the fifth putting them ahead 3-2. We've got to get that run back or more here at the top of the sixth or we are down to our last 6 hours. If we lose we would play Oregon tomorrow night if we win I'm not sure who we would play. We've not been hitting very well today so I'm getting nervous the longer it goes...

 

[soonerstar]

Must beat Oregon Sunday and beat UCLA/Texas Tech winner twice Monday.

patty is one of the best of all time, which makes some her obviously absurd personnel decisions so bizarre. For example, Emerling cost us two runs today with poor defensive plays. She is the worst hitting and defensive catcher ou has ever had. I’m sure she tries hard and is a nice young lady but she has no business playing ahead of hicks. She has run off erickson and nugent in order to play lesser players. Some might argue with this take, but she should have been playing milloy instead of dayton too.

Whatever her reasoning, she has won with the kids she has chosen to play. Maybe she is dumb like a fox or inspite of her decisions. Or even more likely, I don’t know what I’m talking about

 

[bob the nailer]

Close. Nugent left because of Kinzie Hansen, not sure what "lesser player" you are referring to. Erickson left because she wanted to catch, and wasn't comfortable religiously here. I agree Emmerling isn't good, and maybe if she started using Hicks early in the season she could be a player, but when she has been in she hasn't been materially better than Isabella.

 

[cowboysooner]

My statements were not facts just opinions. No way to know whether hicks and milloy would be better at this polnt if they had been playing all year. It is possible milloy could have been worse than dayton. No one, including hicks, could have played worse than emerling ( only as bad).

It would be interesting to know how patty explains to a back up why they aren’t getting a chance to play when emerling is batting .200, can’t throw anyone out and is error prone. Would it even be possible to be worse.

Obviously patty wants to win and almost always does so she sees something the average fan doesn’t with some of these situations. I wouldn’t trade her for anyone.

 

[Soonerguy06]

I feel the same way about emerling. She is so bad offensively and really pretty bad defensively. She hasn't been able to throw down a player any of the times I've seen her try and today when she tried to throw down a player a second it allowed the incredibly fast runner at third to score. Anytime we've had a player try to throw someone out at home 3 out of 5 times they are not successful because emerling's not able to field
the ball correctly. So absolutely 100% I agree she has been a liability for us this season and probably could be one of the reasons we don't win another championship this season.

I think Milloy, given the amount of at bats that Dayton's had, could absolutely be the better hitter. I think she could probably be the better fielder in outfield as well but she just hasn't been given a chance. Yes, she had some early strikeout problems but she just hasn't been given enough opportunities to get through that as a freshman and become the player genetically she's capable of being. I wouldn't be shocked if she transferred. If she does she can take Maya bland with her. For being a pinch hitter with so much on the line she was way too casual and unconcerned at the plate today striking out looking. All she simply had to do was hit a deep pop fly to bring the runner at third home but she didn't even swing!
