Does anyone have the graphic showing the schedule for the regional? I know we play the 1st game, but how does the rest of the schedule pan out?
TIA!


Not a graphic but…

Friday starts 1pm (Aggies vs UConn). ASU/McNeese follows once they clear the stadium roughly 3:30. Each team only plays 1 game day 1.

Saturday starts at 2pm with day 1 winners, then day 1 losers (1 eliminated), then the two remaining 1-loss teams (1 eliminated)

Sunday starts 2pm, with a final game to follow if both teams have 1 loss after first one.

The only start time you can count on (weather permitting) is the first one each day. There is at least 30 minutes between games.

Great! She should be, as she had quite an impressive year despite being pitched around and not having the greatest regional.

Taylor Brown and DeeDee Baldwin have announced their retirements from the game

Someone else likely has a better count than me but I think that gives us room for 4 transfers

I'm thinking we'll have room for more. Wouldn't be surprised to see a couple portal entries, even among players that started this year.

By my count, the team had 23 on it @ Regionals.

With the incoming Freshman (7), Graduated Seniors (6 - Grace, Taylor, Gracyn, KP, Micaela, Talley), and Retirements (2) should be at 22 players. Think the House Settlement said / limits the roster to 25. I could be wrong but think that is pretty close.

I try not to pay attention to Twitter banter because it's worse than TexAgs. But some folks brough up Maya Bland, the OU transfer who I think was dismissed from the team before the season. So wouldn't that also be an open roster spot? Wish the best for Taylor and DeeDee. Think they saw the lack of playing time and their progression as reasons. I know it's a difficult personal decision, but I applaud them for doing it!

The total have (23) includes Bland not being on the team. TexAgs has 23 players listed on the roster.

Wishing nothing but the best for DeeDee & Taylor. They both seemed like really great teammates and most of all humans.

Madison Azua in the portal

Definitely the best pitcher in the portal so far

She's probably heading home, just to be honest, but make her an offer

Agree they would be the early favorite but I would at least make a pitch.

Softball America has Piper as someone that "intends" to go into the portal, for what it is worth.

This would be a bottom of our roster pitcher.

Maddy Wachter, Bryant University, American East Conference:
Overall Season: 3.60 ERA
Against P4 teams (games against Boston College and Virginia Tech): 9.13 ERA

The other girl, Nicole Edmaiston from Stetson in the ASUN, doesn't pitch. She is a 1B. She did hit .453 with 23 HR if we are looking for a 1B / DH type.

The girl from TX State could compete with our returners but isn't any guaranteed step up from them.

If we want an ace, that isn't coming from the bargain bin. Such an ace is likely playing for a team that they are leading currently in the Super Regionals and are still playing and headed to the World Series.

Yes. She is from Round Rock so pretty close to home. There was a time when Round Rock high was more Aggie than Longhorn but those days are long gone.

She might go without much cash, too. Education matters, cash could sway her, but you wait for this super regional weekend to be over and hope for OU, TX, NB, MISS ST, and one other upset, and then get the BRINKS to their houses

Arizona state is good. No excuses but did we catch the hottest teams in softball the last two seasons in our regional?

Looks wise, coach and Pond are fire too!

National 16 seed Oregon came out of the loser's bracket to win their own home regional last year and then beat Liberty 2-0 in the Super Regional including game 2 by a score of 13-1.

What happen to us last year is really hard to understand because we were really, really good.
