AU64 10,122 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Yep, they seem to not be in the same ball park of the games we watch. Completely inept. Good thought...I sometimes wonder if they are calling the games from the TV presentation in a studio somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jared52 4,354 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Oh no!!! Did you guys see the 5th inning home run by Bell? A woman tried to catch it in the stands. It deflected off her hands and hit a little girl right in the forehead. I hope she is OK. The announcers didn't say a word about it. There had to be a lot of commotion around her out there. I saw it and was surprised they didn't show the replay. Probably because it was a kid. Do hope she's ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telling tiger 156 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Misidentify players, miss plays while transpiring, I know it is plenty of airtime to fill, but discussing other teams, while play is ongoing and action on the field in front of them.... I was impressed by one angle and commentary, they caught the slide under the tag and called it well, the other day, during our game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc4aday 1,887 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 We beat FsU.....What is next? I have been watching softball here and there and love this team. We do have what it takes to bring home the NC. This would be great. 2 NCs this year is not bad. We need to get David Marsh back to Auburn. Pay the man double what he makes now and give him the keys to the pool and keep JJ out of site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telling tiger 156 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 WHEN AU beats fsu, we would play the winner of the other bracket for the title.....2 out of 3. EVEN IF AU lost, it would be the first loss and set up another elimination game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellitor 33,062 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 We want LSU to win tonight so we get a day's rest & the 1 OU pitcher would have to pitch another possible 2 games before she sees us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. But at the rate Parker is going, she looks like she could pitch forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUDub 11,131 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Paige Parker may be running out of gas for OU. LSU is starting to hit her effectively. She just got tagged for a three run jack. Just don't know what the Sooners have behind her as far as a staff is concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU64 10,122 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 OU vs AU in the championship series. This ought to be a good test of Mikey's theory that softball pitchers have no limit in the number of pitches and games they can throw without some time off. Paige Parker has started 31 games and appeared in 42 games for OK this season....could not find another pitcher with meaningful stats....looks like Parker is the one. Oh...BTW...why is it that on rosters for women's teams, they never list the weight? only the height? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh...BTW...why is it that on rosters for women's teams, they never list the weight? only the height? It's not my theory, it's what some of the coaches say. It's obvious that they can throw many times more than a baseball pitcher. Now, quoting the Oklahoma coach: "Yes, she's thrown over 600 pitches and if she needs to she'll throw 600 more. She won't get tired." I simply don't believe that. There is a difference between tired and fatigued. She may still be somewhat effective, but she's hasn't been nearly as sharp these last two outings as she was previously. Fatigue has to be setting in. She may whip us twice, we'll see, but I simply do not believe that that much pitching isn't wearing on her, mentally and physically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telling tiger 156 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Anything can happen, but if she throws even 100-300 more, I expect her to be less effective. I hope the coach goes with that theory, though. I'm willing to test it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be proven wrong, but I just can't see/believe a softball pitcher can pitch everyday without losing some of their performance. I also, thought it is interesting that she is going back to OU Softball facilities and getting treatment for her arm. Other schools don't have that options. She may whip us twice, we'll see, but I simply do not believe that that much pitching isn't wearing on her, mentally and physically. If she does, then we will know 1 ACE is better than have a committee of very good pitcher, at least in Softball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUBwins 10,064 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I am encouraged that LSU started to rough her up a bit in the late innings, but she again shut the door on them. Oklahoma actually had someone warming up in the bullpen. Pretty resilient Left hander. The AU pitchers need to limit their offense. I think we will bring the bats.

I know it's common for softball pitchers to throw a couple hundred pitches over a weekend. And while they might look like they still "have it," we have seen examples where just losing a little bit of control or something makes them more vulnerable...the FSU ace and Wilkinson for example. I expect our hitters to have a very positive attitude about Parker and will be greatly surprised if we score fewer than 5 or 6 runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
