Baylor at OSU

[Cowboyshoopspride]

Not sure this group has “it.”

 

[Cowboy4life9688]

Not even close. I've never seen a team with so little power swing away like they have some.

But every year Kenny says this is his best team!! Respectfully he might need to stop saying it

But every year Kenny says this is his best team!! Respectfully he might need to stop saying it

That one really looks ill-advised this year

I think a hitter or two in the lineup need to feel like they are on the hot seat, but it doesn't seem like Kenny operates that way.

An interesting quote I heard him say a few weeks ago about Katie Kutz' big improvement "we asked her, 'can we coach you hard?' And she said please do." What?! You have to ask permission? That almost floored me.

And yet they are light years better than the men’s baseball team sadly!

 

[Chairman of the Board]

Went back to listened to Kenny's postgame,

"championship teams find a way to get things done (Hasler had the ball in her glove to tag out the winning run and dropped it)"

"we'just not doing enough right now, searching"

"we knew how she was going to pitch, we have to hit more balls the other way hard"

Question: is the lack of games recently an issue?

"you know our fans don't want to hear excuses, we just have to play better and get the job done."

Shut out at home for the first time since 2016

T1

Double to RCF wall
Sac bunt moves runner to 3B
Single to LF, run scores One of the hardestr hit ground balls I have ever seen, it bounced off \Warsop in LF
Strikeout swinging
Double into LF corner, runner to 3rd
--Eberle out
Strikeout swinging

1 run, 3 hits (had four all of yesterday)

 

[Chairman of the Board]

Freshman pitrcher for BU, 4-4 3.47 ERA

Delgadillo singles through the left side
Edwards grounds out to 2B, runner to 2nd
Davis grounds out to 2B, runner to 3rd
Wark rolls out to 3rd

Another wasted opportunity, he needs to get Wark out of the 4 hole.

 

[Chairman of the Board]

T2

Groundout
SIngle ujp the middle
Strikeout (runner stepped on home place on swing)
Fielder's choice to SS, runner out at 2nd

 

[Chairman of the Board]

B2

Godwin walk on 4 pitches
Bloodworth flies out to RF
Warsop bunt single
McDonald soft liner caught by SS, Godwin doubled off at 2nd.

What in the hell is this team doing? That ball wasn't hit hard at all, Godwin has to see that.

 

[Chairman of the Board]

I notice that Shippy is at first base, Kenny back to third

He moves McDonald all over the place in the OF, depending the batter. She doesn't hit, and is not a great outfielder, just play someone else maybe, like Graf, who he subs in

 

[Chairman of the Board]

T3

Single up the middle
--Meylan warming up
Walk
--Gajewski out to circle
Sac bunt successfull
HIgh chop to P, and everyone is safe, but runner stays at 3rd. Bad baserunning
Double into the LF corner, 2 RBI
Groundout to SS, again the runner stays. Strange.
--Meylan in
Strikeout on 3 pitches

3-0 Baylor

 

[Chairman of the Board]

Kutz' pitching has really fallen off the last few outings. She's either missing or getting way too much of the plate. A light hitting Baylor team just hit her hard. Of all the bad trends lately,, that's a top one

 

[Cowboy4life9688]

The lack of pitching is so evident this season. We have one arm and we’re going to run her into the ground. Combine with our hitting issues…this team will struggle this postseason

 

[Edmondcowboy]

He’s overhauled his staff in the last 2 seasons with former players who have all essentially just graduated. That may have been a mistake.

I know we all love Shippy, but I remember being stunned at the time that a top 5 program would promote someone with no experience to such an important position.

I'm sure he feels like a dad/cool uncle and those are his girls--which explains the almost excessive loyalty--but it hasn't worked out to this point.

 

[Chairman of the Board]

B3

Hasler golfs one over the wall in LF, she only Cowgirl who came to hit so far
Delgadillo grounds out to 3B
Edwards grounds out to SS, another really quick out
Davis flies out to LCF on the first pitch she sees

Last two outs took 3 pitches, not putting any pressure on the pitcher at all

3-1

 

[Chairman of the Board]

T4

Bloop single over SS
Sac bunt
Line out to 2B, but unlike us, they don't get doubled off
Walk (that was their best hitter, I'm fine with it)
Lineout to LF, Graf saved 2 runs with a running catch

 

[Chairman of the Board]

B4

Wark solo bomb to LF
Godwin sharp single to LF (pinch runner Vandewater)
--new pitcher
Bloodworth sac bunt
Warsop single to CF, runner to 3rd, no chance to score there
--steals 2nd
McDonald walks, good AB
--new pitcher on 2-0 count
Hasler walks on full count, RBI
Delgadillo doubles to the wall in LF, 2 RBI
Edwards doubles down the LF line, 2 RBI
Davis walks
Wark flies out to RF
Godwin walks
Bloodworth grounds out to SS

6 runs, 5 hits, left 'em loaded

Drew a lot of walks, didn't get themselves out, mostly great AB's

7-3 OSU

 

[Chairman of the Board]

T5

3 up, 3 down, including a typical 9-3 ground out to end the inning
