Maybe Pickens will hit the portal. Vols are two and barbecue. She needs a change of scenery. She'd look good in maroon.

I was about to say Tennessee's Ace pitcher Pickens improves to 5-0 against Ou & Sips…until that Ou walkoff HR.
Tennessee refused to walk the All-American at the plate despite 1st base being open, to not put the go-ahead run on 1st, but Tennessee's ace pitcher gets taken yard for the walkoff HR.
1st base wasn't open and the mistake was throwing change up instead of living with the rise.

How is Tennessee 2 and out?

Projecting
Best pitcher won that one, like was almost the case for Tennessee prior to that 7th inning.Captn_Ag05 said:

I'm tired of OU winning but also cannot stand the Vol coach. The gators are the only team on that side I wanted to win.
Oh, 2nd base was open. I guess that further explains why she didn't want to walk her and move the tying run to 2nd base…even if an All-American HR slugger was at the plate who then hit a walkoff HR.cevans_40 said:Ag1188 said:

Its not like they have some slap in the 3 hole. And now you load the bases and allow that hitter to tie the game with any type of hit. Oh yeah, and you have the best pitcher in the country in the circle. It only looks bad looking back because of what happened. In the moment, it's foolish to give the tying runner 2nd base.
I almost feel guilty about my joy in watching the hearts get ripped out of every Tenn fan. Misery loves company and I can't stand Karen.
Ole Miss iis pathetic. Arky would have won this side.
I really don't want Tech to get to the finals. Or win at all for that matter. I'm sure NiJaree is a nice person but I don't want buying a pitcher for a million dollars to work out.
I like UCLA on this bracket but Oregon has an ace and speed. They can make it interesting
Is there a summary of our current recruiting for 2026? I see where LSU has picked up a pitcher but haven't seen any updates from Trisha. I figure there might be so eon this thread but haven't had time to read through 62 pages.

Women's sports are no different than men's. The rules are the rules, until they're changed.
But not as out of control as men's. That's why I'd like them to get burned
Do they still do the the bracket flip where the losers of the 1-0 games switch brackets?
Yes. I wish Baseball would adopt that so the committee can't force teams to not face each other in the final

This side is definitely not as interesting, so far

She carried Stanford on her back to the CWS semis twice so Cardinal fans must be a little salty that she's allowed to transfer without losing a year of her life, much less get paid an amount of NIL$ their fans are far too pretentious to even contemplate an athlete could be worth.
Unless he's Lucky.
I'm up late watching Oregon vs UCLA. The obstruction of base path rule in softball seems to be a hell of a turning point in meaningful games. Pretty sure the Ags have been on both sides of that coin this season. I wonder if it gets reviewed at the end of the season? Amanda Scarborough made a good point in stating that players should be more aggressive on the basepath because the rule is such a wildcard. Wish we could ask Coach Ford!
You make good points.
The obstruction rule both complicates the calling of the game and supports players' safety. It is sometimes highly interpretive and the result can be controversial and game-changing.
The UCLA catcher clearly blocked the sliding runner's path to the plate, so the eventual call of safe appeared to be correct.
If the obstruction call is eliminated, we will see intentional collisions and more injuries because base runners will aggressively try to get to a base or prevent a double play.
I don't anticipate the NCAA will eliminate the rule, especially since off-site video replay from multiple angles is widely available to eliminate or minimize egregious umpiring mistakes.

Bama's Riley Valentine is in the portal. Hit .211 on the year. Hit .188 her freshman year as an Aggie. Hope she does better her senior year.
Surely we need a catcher from the portal, right? A pitcher and a catcher. This kid from Ohio State wow!
I missed that C Jazzy Burns entered the portal yesterday!!

I saw that yesterday and posted it. Outstanding stats and in a good conference. She is probably getting a ton of offers. I wonder how much she is asking? We will have three catchers next year and another one coming in the following year (after Gracyn graduates). This girl would make four. I wonder if our coaches have been thinking about her and have contacted her? We will find out!

I would think if we were to sign her out of the portal, we would see 1 or 2 transfer out.
It's already the case and our rival Sips are spending real money on softball players and pitchers. I'd welcome our leadership realizing softball needs real NIL money to get the best pitchers which are what win championships.dz_ag16 said:

Tennessee taking Florida out behind the woodshed
Florida looking very mediocre at the WCWS

I'm watching this at the hotel bar until my free drinks are gone.
It might end before they're gone

At this rate for sure. I'll just have to go back to people watching. And there are some interesting dressed people here. I mean you do you boo, but i really feel like your shorts should cover your cheeks regardless of what size you are.

Well if that's the case, they aren't using their funds very wisely.
Florida is not gonna make it easy
