Another great season for the Cajuns! Came up just a little short.

---Did the illegal pitch or some of them lead directly to OK runs???Thought that we would hav e been out of the inning on one of them!!!

[roarman]

Only three.

Can't disagree with you because I don't know. But you say every pitch since the 3rd inning was legal. In your opinion, were there any in the first 3 innings there were illegal that were't called.

I was not looking for it prior to the third inning ... which is why I only commented on the third inning and later. But nothing in her mechanics (Parker) led me to believe that she was illegal any other time. Her mechanics are good and consistent.

Ranked top 10 majority of the year, #10 rpi, and get rewarded with one of the toughest regionals matched up with OU? Same thing the last 4 years. No respect.

This.

So what if you have to face them at some point.

Being a #14 seed was a slap to the face. Again.

I'd rather face them at the right place, at the right time.

As a #12 seed Louisiana would have faced Oregon for a trip to the World Series, a team they had already heated two out of three times.

I would have been a great gauge of home field advantage.

Double 5s got em. 5 illegal pitches and 5 errors.

And ZERO errors on OU's part. The better team won. Props to OU, and to our team for not quitting.

Unfortunately, for us folks with LUS Fiber, I think we are S.O.L. LUS dropped the U when they picked up the SEC network. ugh.

It's channel 127 and 1127, both hd.

Spot on. Offensively, we are right there with any team in the country. And like has been mentioned already, our pitching is good, but not great. And our defense in this series was atrocious, while OUs was stellar. The better team won.

I sure hope that one of the young pitchers we have has a chance to be elite, like Brooke Mitchell, Ashley Brignac, and Jordan Wallace at her best, elite. That's what it will take for us to ever get what we all want.

I love the fight our ladies showed. Great season. Congrats for achieving just about all you could achieve with what you had.

Not trying to start an argument--just curious--do you have a softball background?? I watch games, both at Lamson and at home, with a friend who has coached softball for years, and is a longtime friend of the Lotiefs. He tells me that "illegal pitches" are similar to holding calls in the NFL, in that they can be called as frequently as the officials WANT to. He told me that, for instance, Cat Osterman, HOF pitcher from Texas, threw "illegal" on many of her pitches when she played, but, always got the benefit of the doubt because of who she was and who she played for...
Anyway, he was losing his mind last night during our game, and SAID the umps GAVE them 4 extra runs on "extended" innings because of the illega pitch calls. Now I didn't see the game, AND I wouldn't know the difference between pitches if I DID see it--I'm HOPING that YOU are right about this, and OU won fair and square..... 😊

OU won fair & square. They are a very good team.

The umpiring in Norman was a false flag operation!

I understand and thanks. Wasn't challenging you. Speaking for myself, it's frustrating to see the calls go against us when I don't know how the rule is supposed to be interpreted. Obviously there is more to the rule than just the drag foot being off the ground.
