First-time poster, long-time thread reader.

Just came in to ask, What the hell has happened to the Superbabes since the '07 run?

Seems like nothing's been the same since the Nancy Evans scandal. Should Candrea delegate more, or has parity just increased that much? I don't get it.

Cats are hosting They are the #12 seed and play St. John's on Friday. New Mexico State and Minnesota are also in the regional. If the Cats win this regional, they most likely go to LSU.

Pitching, pitching, pitching.

The pitching recruits just haven't panned out. Some just not Arizona good, some injuries (Fowler), one tragic suicide. Some of the coaching suspect.

It's all about having that ace pitcher and we haven't really had one since they started calling the illegal pitches on Kenzie at the CWS her freshman year.

The game has also changed. It's definitely a more offensive game. You rarely see a final score of 1-0 anymore. There are only 4 pitchers this year in college softball that have an ERA under 1.00. I am looking forward to watching Taylor McQuillin. What I like about her is that she is a lefty. Candrea has not had a lefty starter since Wendy Allen. I also think with the addition of Danielle O'Toole, we could be seeing a pitcher or two transferring.

I was surprised, pleasantly, by reading about this tonight

Minnesota will win this regional. Easily. They are a very good team with pitching. I'm a bit surprised we host. Must be related to facilities?

'Cats beat St. John's 4-2

PieceOfMeat · Post by **PieceOfMeat** » Fri May 15, 2015 11:26 pm

Slept right through the game ... damn meds.

From what I'm reading/hearing though, sounds like we'll need to play a hell of a lot better tomorrow if we want to beat minnesota.

The Cats had a number of chances to score early but St. John's was able to get a couple of double plays or ground outs to prevent the UofA from scoring. Today is going to be a tough game.

ASU takes down LSU and it makes UA playing a home regional more likely, for LSU is now in the losers bracket. The chances for the Cats to make the College World Series is now at better odds. They just need to take care of business at home. If the scummies can pull it out the Cats will host a home super regional.

Nice game from the Cats. One more...

Five Pac-12 schools are in their regional finals. Cal is currently losing in their semi final and I believe Oregon has advanced to the super regional already.

PieceOfMeat · Post by **PieceOfMeat** » Sun May 17, 2015 6:52 am

You are correct Greg. Cal lost that game they were losing, so they're gone now.

As for us, we face Minnesota again today. Just gotta win one more and we're on to the Super

If the NCAA Women's Softball bracket is correct I believe there are 6 Pac 12 teams playing in the regional finals. UA, ASU, UCLA, Oregon, Washington, and Utah.

Will be tough today with the Gophers. They have been very good all season, including beating up on PAC 12. BEAR DOWN!

You're welcome. Same link should work for today's game(s) too.

As for our possible opponent, lsu beat asu in their first game today. so now that regional is down to 1 game, winner advances between lsu and asu.

Nebraska almost took care of LSU for us yesterday. Lost 3-2 in extra inning.

Yeah, and LSU taking it to ASU in the second game too. Drat.

Lofty · Post by **Lofty** » Sun May 17, 2015 2:02 pm

I spoke too soon! ASU has responded in top of the third inning.

Lofty · Post by **Lofty** » Sun May 17, 2015 2:02 pm

But left bases loaded and failed to take lead.

UAEebs86 · Post by **UAEebs86** » Sun May 17, 2015 2:47 pm

Wow ASU gets out of a bases loaded no outs jam without giving up a run.

The Cats will travel to Louisiana if they win tonight. Louisiana has not been kind to the Cats over the years in any sport.

Game has begun. Wonder if it will be on ESPN2 after this MLS game.

Nope. Not On ESPN2. WTF? Why no tv at all on ESPN?

Lofty · Post by **Lofty** » Sun May 17, 2015 4:20 pm

And why in the hell is the same game on ESPN2 and ESPNU right now?

PieceOfMeat · Post by **PieceOfMeat** » Sun May 17, 2015 4:22 pm

No idea Lofty, but as I cut the cord, it wouldn't matter anyways for me

The online stream today isn't as good for me was it was yesterday, but at least it's something. http://pac-12.com/videos/university-arizona-2

Irish27 · Post by **Irish27** » Sun May 17, 2015 4:45 pm

Tied 1-1 as the Cats got a run due to the center fielder playing too far out. Bases loaded for the Cats.

Irish27 · Post by **Irish27** » Sun May 17, 2015 4:46 pm

Perez strikes out and we go to the bottom of the 3rd tied.

Irish27 · Post by **Irish27** » Sun May 17, 2015 5:00 pm

Cats take a 2-1 lead and have something brewing.

Irish27 · Post by **Irish27** » Sun May 17, 2015 5:08 pm

Crap, bases loaded and no outs and they can only muster one run. 2-1 bottom of the 4th.

Irish27 · Post by **Irish27** » Sun May 17, 2015 5:15 pm

Parks comes in and retires the side in order. 2-1 Cats after four.

Irish27 · Post by **Irish27** » Sun May 17, 2015 5:22 pm

2-1 going to the bottom of the 5th.

Irish27 · Post by **Irish27** » Sun May 17, 2015 5:30 pm

2-1 Cats, top of the 6th.

Yeah, I linked it Bluetooth to my soundbar and it's doing the job.

Cats down in order, bottom of the 6th, still 2-1.

Irish27 · Post by **Irish27** » Sun May 17, 2015 5:43 pm

Parks get them down in order again, we head to the 7th, 2-1 Cats.
