Wasn't Taylor Pannell the player who went to Tech and falsely accused her former Tennessee coach of smart mouthing in the handshake line? Or are there two players with the same name? EDIT: oops, looked it up and you are right, there are TWO players named Taylor Pannell playing college softball, this one transferring from Missouri to A&M.

Florida, Michigan, and LSU off the top of my head in the last 20 years.

Castle is a turnover machine.

Probably been asked and answered, but what is our overall budget compared to other elite softball schools?

White tries to get portal players. They are outbid year after year by other schools. Texas lost out on their top targets last year to Tech, A&M and Arkansas, and ended up with two players who took pay cuts to play for Texas. The same is already happening. Last year’s targets: Tallen Edwards and Taylor Pannell (pitcher) > A&M Jazzy Burns and Desirae Spearman > Tech Dakota Kennedy > Arkansas

So far we have gone mainly with recruited players and has worked out. Wish we had a portal pitcher coming in . Hope our young ones can step up and ride with Kavan. Hook em

This is a crazy take considering how good Harper and Castle were this series at various points especially given their age. I think the last 3-4 games of the series an argument could be made that Harper was the best player for the Spurs. Top 3 things for the Spurs is to add 3 point shooting, add veteran depth, and for Wemby to get stronger and develop a go-to move in the post.

Starting to look like the biggest trade mistake wasn't trading Luka, it was trading Big head Jalen Brunson Burner.

Someone really needs to ask Joey when and how he / Tech became aware of Sorsby’s situation and if the was before the end of spring practices, if Sorsby missed any practices after that.

I’m in believe it when I see it mode too … to be clear

i am so grateful that we’re not in that clown show of a conference right now.

They need to take Biggio's philosophy. That first pitch might be the best one you'll see!

You give college pitchers too much credit. They aren’t good enough to pick and choose when to throw strikes lol. Volchko had an out of body experience last year after an entire season where he was walking and hitting multiple batters per game. You don’t change up your entire program philosophy just because of that.

Thanks. I feel much more knowledgeable now! Kind of like the difference between a 4star and a 5 star. Got it.

One can hope someone steps in and says Sorsby won't play this year, but I'll believe it when I see it. With Texas Tech speaking on July 7 at Big 12 Media Days, things could get interesting—and Joey can't cancel those.

once we gave up 4 it was hard seeing us come back with the offense we were having. My issue with schloss so far at texas is he hasn't gotten better hitters all throughout the lineup. Theres no reason Texas should have to have a lot of hitters that are similar in style and not more power hitters. arod, mendoza, larson, bacerra, pendergrass, are more similar than not. Then borba is mostly an auto out if its not a hr so adds nothing most games.

He did say in his opening statement that we did an awful job of catching everybody up after the weather delay. I'm pretty sure "we" meant him and the coaching staff. Not sure what he could have done to prevent the throwing and fielding errors or Volantis hitting 4 batters.

I sent you a message but wanted to make sure you saw this. I have an extra ticket for the Japan vs Sweden game in Dallas on the 23rd if you are interested.

The Italians are seething that they were even in the playoffs. How the mighty have fallen.

I think Tinney blocking pitches could be attributed to the field because of the way it bounces differently on the turf that he’s used to. But that’s just my opinion, I know the field wasn’t the reason they lost I just think it played a bigger role than most people are willing to admit.

It was just frustrating not making an adjustment when he was throwing first pitch strikes right down the middle of the plate. That kid was good with that slider so he he could ahead in the count he had a big advantage. I could understand maybe one time through the lineup but after that especially being down a few runs you have to try to run into one and maybe change the momentum. Texas has guys that can hit the low ball and that was our chance and we never adjusted. I just don’t understand it. You got Tulo, you got analytic guy over there and no adjustments at the plate. Most of Texas lineup isn’t going to hit good pitching so you aren’t going to stack 4-5 hits in a row off a pitcher like that. Hitters shouldn’t have to be told. If I’m in that game I go up looking dead middle of the plate and nothing else and I’m swinging. Even my wife picked up on it after about 4-5 innings of first pitch strikes

I don’t think the natural field played apart at all. When the catcher struggles blocking the pitch, framing the pitch, throwing the ball and actually catching the ball, that’s the real problem. Tinney’s defensive weaknesses were magnified last night.

Clearly Kirby was in the dugout
