It was very disappointing to blow a 5-1 lead in the bottom of the 5th inning to lose 9-8 to No. 1 Texas in 9 innings. Hopefully, we bounce back with a Game 3 win to reach the Softball World Series for the first time since 2017.

You have to feel good about our bats. It's just whether our pitching can limit the runs. It's not obvious that we have a lot of swing & miss pitches still in the chamber. Definitely need a clean, smart game in the field. Maybe walk Atwood if only a runner on 2nd.
Coach and players pretty optimistic postgame. Got to like that.
One of the richest athletic departments in America; yet they can't iron the fitted sheet used for a backdrop on the press room and can not prevent a stadium outfield padded panel on the fence from becoming a 100 gallon Hefty Trash Bag.
If we play clean on defense today I like our chances. If we get a lead, take the easy outs.
Hopefully we can play more relaxed. I do think there's more pressure on the sips being the one seed. The players and coaches have made mistakes bc of the pressure. I hope it happens more today. I have no doubt the right fielder for them was crying bc they had fans yelling at her after the first play of that inning. My boy was at the sip baseball game this year. He said their fans were yelling insults to both of their outfielders after their missed plays. We need things such as that getting around the recruiting circles. It should be used against them. If you go there you better play perfect or you are going to hear it during the game.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
someone (either Ford or an assistant coach) should've reiterated it to the fielders before the plays in question, specifically before UT's second run.WildAggie said:
I really doubt coach told them to do any of those things. Sometimes players make mistakes in the heat of the moment even when they've been coached on the proper play in practice.
They ain't SKEERED. BTHO tu!!!!

Who are the starting pitchers for today?
What a game that was. I've really enjoyed watching this team. They are relentless.
Most likely Kennedy will go for us. Doesn't matter who starts for sip, none have proven to be overwhelming .
Hoping Austin Aggies buy up the tickets out there and come cheer loud for this team.
No matter what happens today, I am damn proud of this team and how they have represented Texas A&M all year. What Coach Ford and her staff have done in two years is incredible. I am happy for the seniors to be able to experience this level of success and have fun doing it. Now, go out and BTHO tu!!!
Let's get this win today, Aggies!
All the pressure in the world is on the Texas team. Need to score early and keep that pressure on them and never let up.

Very good point they've thrown all 4 of there's and we've responded well!
I think they will pitch their drop ball pitcher. #55
I doubt we see 77 again.
We have hit home runs off all 4. Pretty nice.

I expect 77. She was their ace who had a bad outing

It's one of the hardest things to do in sports, to eliminate the number 1 seed on their home field, but it's also one of the most satisfying moments in sports, next to winning it all!!!
Fightin' Texas Aggies, put on the blinders, keep your head down, and play with a lot of heart until the last out, and have lots of FUN while you are in the battle! GIG'EM!!!
Lady Ags, you're still in the battle! Go have FUN!! GIG'EM!!!

That's probably my biggest concern regarding Aggie athletics.
Never mind, I miss read the post.
Watching gators/Baylor. That Gators field is such a home field advantage. Feels like their fans are right on top of you.

Concur with the sentiment but there is no such thing as Lady Ags. It's just Aggies.

Yeah. Agricultural Engineer never really had a gender attached to it.

Saying Aggies/Maggies was a thing back at the start of Women's sports programs at A&M and was not meant as a knock on anyone, just a way to specify what team was being talked about.TexasRebel said:Horn Saw said:Caesar4 said:AGDAD14 said:AGDAD14 said:
