They now have three catchers, but Schepp, Kavanagh and Stewart probably will play several positions (catcher, first & DH).

It would be great if Stewart could get Holtorf to follow her but I have been reading Oklahoma fans think she is headed to Norman.

Someone's gotta play 3B too and I'm playing Devyn Netz at DP all year long, even when she's pitching. We lost a lot of power with Skaggs, Scupin, and Dinardo gone. We need as much as we can get in that lineup.

Likely starter at 2B.

Cats are ranked #14 in the preseason poll. I was not expecting them to be ranked that high.

This poll has us at 16.

Posted: **Thu Feb 06, 2025 7:43 am**

Opening day as the Cats play two against Michigan State. Hitting should not be the problem. The pitching, as usual, is the big question. Lowe has said she will be going with a pitching committee. I wonder how Devyn will look after missing last year and intrigued to see if Maddox is the real deal or not. I hope one of the several pitchers they have can step up and be a number one starter.

Posted: **Thu Feb 06, 2025 6:56 pm**

Cats win 15-0 in game one. They hit 6 homers and Devyn had 3.

Posted: **Thu Feb 06, 2025 7:21 pm**

That was a super fun game to watch. Hope Game 2 goes the same way.

Posted: **Thu Feb 06, 2025 9:38 pm**

Game 2 was more how I thought things would go. Glad we battled back for the win!

Posted: **Thu Feb 06, 2025 9:44 pm**

Game 2 was not pretty, but it's a win. You can see Kavanagh is a special player.

Posted: **Fri Feb 07, 2025 8:05 pm**

Didn't catch the first game, but the second game is having all sorts of technical issues. It's buffering like crazy and even crashed at one point, showing someone's windows screen for a few minutes while the stream rebooted. Seriously worse quality than the Pac 12 ever had.

The announcer also sounds like he's about to fall asleep.

Game 1 was terrible too. Very disappointing.

Netz has given up 4 homers in two outings. If she continues to struggle, Lowe might have to make a tough decision whether to continue to pitch her or just let her concentrate on hitting.

Posted: **Sat Feb 08, 2025 6:45 pm**

The ESPN+ stream when it is a traditional broadcast with Sutton and Fowler on the call

Posted: **Sat Feb 08, 2025 6:48 pm**

Cats beat #11 Alabama 9-1 in five. Looks like Stoddard is making a claim to be the #1 starter. Cats are now 4-1 and face Washington tomorrow. Maybe they can get some revenge from yesterday loss.

Posted: **Sat Feb 08, 2025 6:49 pm**

We walk it off against the Tide! What a game!

Posted: **Sun Feb 09, 2025 1:15 pm**

Cats beat Washington 4-0 as Devyn Netz pitches a gem. Seven innings, 2 hits, 9 K's and no walks.

It was. Almost every game we play will be on ESPN+. Same with Baseball.

Posted: **Sun Feb 09, 2025 8:06 pm**

Found it thanks!

The cats had some great defensive plays. But That throw by Shockey to cut down the runner at 3rd was #1

Posted: **Tue Feb 11, 2025 11:14 am**

Posted: **Fri Feb 14, 2025 6:01 pm**

Wow.

In all, Stoddard went 6-for-6 with four home runs, a triple (that bounced off the outfield wall), seven RBI, and a walk on her seventh at-bat.

Posted: **Fri Feb 14, 2025 6:44 pm**

Stoddard hit another homer today, giving her 5 home runs in the last 24 hours. It's crazy that she only batted once last year. Also, with Kennedy out due to a finger injury, Miranda's bat along with Dimler has provided a lot of offense to the line-up.

Have they said how long Kennedy is out?

According to Lowe, Dakota has been throwing, so it sounds like it won't be too long. Would be nice to have her available when they play Texas next Saturday.

Posted: **Thu Feb 20, 2025 6:58 pm**

The Cats beat #18 Stanford 4-1 as Netz throws a complete game. Dakota Kennedy will not be playing this weekend.

Posted: **Fri Feb 21, 2025 9:04 pm**

Swain has been terrific.

Posted: **Sat Feb 22, 2025 7:01 pm**

Proud of the women for tying it up in the 7th even though the wheels fell off in the 8th.

Posted: **Sun Feb 23, 2025 6:45 pm**

Cats go 5-1 over the weekend, only losing to #1 Texas in 8 innings.

Posted: **Wed Feb 26, 2025 7:32 pm**

Really weird game today.

LMU has not hit the ball hard at all except for one mistake form stoddard in the first inning. Really poor defensive decisions from the cats and leaving runners on have hurt them tonight.

Posted: **Wed Feb 26, 2025 7:48 pm**

I feel like the game is being streamed directly from someone's phone.

Posted: **Sat Mar 01, 2025 7:31 am**

Cats beat Weber State and Cal State Fullerton last night. They play Notre Dame and UCLA today.

Posted: **Sat Mar 01, 2025 10:35 am**

I’m disappointed that the rest of this weekend’s games aren’t broadcasted

Posted: **Sat Mar 01, 2025 1:07 pm**

Yeah I don't get how a game between us and UCLA wasn't picked up by ESPN+.

Posted: **Sat Mar 01, 2025 6:06 pm**

Cats beat Notre Dame 7-1 this morning and then beat #4 UCLA 9-8 in a crazy game that went 10 innings.

Posted: **Sat Mar 01, 2025 6:09 pm**

These kitties got claws!

There better be fucking extended highlights somewhere of the game!

Posted: **Sun Mar 02, 2025 1:27 pm**

Cats beat #23 San Diego State 11-3. They went 6-0 this week and now open conference play at home against UCF.

Posted: **Mon Mar 03, 2025 11:40 am**

I'm pleasantly surprised at their play so far. Congrats to the girls and the coaching staff.

Posted: **Tue Mar 04, 2025 4:46 pm**

Cats jump from #10 to #7 in the country.

Can't remember the last time they were ranked this high.
