SOFTBALL QUESTION

All I would say to the Vols coach is “if pigs could fly”. She not only held out her ace pitcher, she didn’t throw her #2. Definitely she didn’t want to use up her two best pitchers against #1 Oklahoma. My good Vols buddy in Johnson City, TN is beside himself.
Never ever second guess your best players for the sake of trying to come in the back door. Foolishness.
She knew OU would beat them no matter what so why not have them ready for today and at least get a little further!
Personally I would have thrown my best against them, but that’s just me ! That’s the way I’ve always been! If you beat my best, good on you!
If UTenn runs the table and gets to the finals, where previous losses don't count, she''ll be second guessed less. I don't think they can beat FSU twice, but we'll see.
Maybe because OU is hitting .240 when pitchers throw over 72mphs. That girl was throwing some heat at 74/75. Stanford girl is the same way, Vols coach was hoping for the same results.
She had great velocity on her pitches. She just didn't have enough control to place the ball where she wanted. No stamina! I knew she definitely would not play the whole game. Who does pitch a complete game against OU?!?😁
It is interesting that this type of data is kept and researched. Not many pitchers in softball have that type of velocity, at least not consistantly. I do believe that today Stanford pitches Vawter ( maybe not spelled correctly) and if they happen to upset OU and force game 2 they turn back to Canady. Canady is the real deal and will give OU fits again. On the flipside, Stanford has no offense and that is the downfall for them. I think PG goes with May and Storacko combo in first game to save JB for the 2nd game if needed.
Hopefully OU puts them away in game 1 in run rule fashion.
