Iowa State at OSU

[Cowboy4life9688]

Her pitches don't move at all. So she either throws strikes that get pounded or gets scared and throws it nowhwere close.

I get Meylan is gassed, but this game is a pretty big one. She needs to be out there today and then give her the mid-week off. Kutz throws 1.1 innings decent and we think she's ready to start a huge game 3.

if she’s gassed, it’s kinda hard to throw her out there. She leads the conference in innings pitched by a decent margin. If she didn’t pitch heavy innings in the non conference..I think they would ride her a bit more than they do now.

Crandall is coming off a knee injury and bringing her along slowly. Someone has to step up. Aycock or Kutz. Aycock still can’t get right and looks like the staff has punted on her

Meylan and Crandall were…don’t know how long the leash is on Crandall

 

[Cowboy4life9688]

Kutz is a great athlete…her inability to repeat her mechanics is a mystery. Priorities for Kenny has to pitching, pitching, and pitching. Have to recruit over Kutz and Aycock

 

[Chairman of the Board]

Meylan gets the last two outs in 2nd

B2

Warsop out trying to bunt
Delgadillo grounds out to 2B

We keep chasing her rise ball and its not a strike. Did it on Friday, too.

They are so much more disciplined at the plate than we are its not even funny

Becker looks up some stats:

ISU 7th in trhe league in BA
10th in ERA

Kendrick "with the wind blowing out, you'd have thought we'd see more from the offenses" (ISU has 5 runs in 3 innings)

Wark disappointing season continues…sadly he’s like josh Holliday in the sense he’s loyal to a fault to some extent

Have to agree. He puts her in the 3 hole, meanwhile Bloodworth is hitting #9. That's on him for letting her continue to kil rallies.

Edwards singles but nothing else.

They look done. These ended up being wasted innnings for Meylan.

[Chairman of the Board]

Kendrick: "OSU is 5-20 with runners in scoring position (no idea over what span), that tells me it s a .200 batting average"

"after that run scores (on what should have been an error) you don't see much celebration from Oklahoma State." We'll they're down 7-2 Kasey

 

[Chairman of the Board]

Crandall in for Meylan, so she was avaialbe, too.

Game would be tied at 2 without Kutz awful start

HR for their freshman who is just tearing us up, that was a BP pitch

 

[Chairman of the Board]

Edwards HR makes it 8-4

Cowgirls gun a runner down at home in t7

Last call for OSU

 

[Chairman of the Board]

Delgadillo's average continues to nose dive. Down about 120 points in last 5-6 weeks.

Cowgirls lose 8-4

6-7 in league play for OSU. The decisoin to start Kutz ends up being the differfence in the game. What's wrong with this team? Everything.

 

[OSU79]

Thanks for your play-by-play, Chairman, as always. I was actually able to watch most of the game after the 3rd inning, while simultaneously doing my taxes. I hate doing my taxes - unfortunately, they were still more enjoyable than the game.

 

[Cowboy4life9688]

Credit iowa state…they were the better team. They wanted this series more than we did.

Staff gambled with Kutz and backfired tremendously. I understand the move in sense of wanting to protect his players especially with Crandall and Meylan. Kutz hasn’t made the jump everyone hoped. Still struggles with command
Aycock seems to forgotten how to pitch from her freshman year. It’s sad to see!

The transfer hitters delgadio and hadhoot are struggling with P4 pitching. It’s starting to show badly. Wark and Timm have been disappointing as well. Going 1-3 for the week. This team is asking to out of the top 25

 

[Chairman of the Board]

“We’re just not very sharp for some reason,” Gajewski said. “(Pitching coach Carrie Eberle) wanted to take Katie out after the first and I was like, ‘We can’t go to the bullpen yet.’”



“Not even tough plays,” Gajewski said. “They’re just happening at the worst times. It’s tough to take.”


“Sometimes I get my best answers from mowing, so maybe that’s what I need to go home and do,”

“A lot of this is on me. There’s something I’m not doing to help them.

“I’ll go home today and do some yard work and see if I can figure out what that is.”
