jared52 4,354 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Also, AU doesn't have that type of strike out pitcher. They have always been a "pitch to contact" team and relying on the defense by not throwing stuff that's easy to hit hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jared52 4,354 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Wow, ump squeezed the zone a bit there. There were some sort of low pitches but a couple should have been strikes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To use a baseball analogy this is a 90s Braves type of staff minus the power from Smoltzy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jared52 4,354 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Maybe the first hard hit ball in play for OU. Ball was up a bit but it's right at Podany at LF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jared52 4,354 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 OU has their first runner at 2nd. Thought Martin got squeezed again on that pitch set, especially the ball that Wallace through down to first, that looked like a strike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellitor 33,093 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 That's at least the 5th ground out to McCrackin in the game. 3 down for OU. AU leads 2-0 Top 5th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jared52 4,354 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Big out! Good going for Martin so far. Only that one bad pitch that was just a hard liner. Everything that OU is hitting so far are pitches that aren't in great spots to drive them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be thinking more post-season play, but she has a big swing that tends to pop up/out more often than getting her on base. Granted, her stats tend to say otherwise so maybe I just have a bad memory. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jared52 4,354 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Man, if Martin lets that through, it's a double play, but I understand her instinct to get the out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
