Hey, I know very little about pitching but is that little left leg kick after her rise ball is thrown part of her mechanics, or her just trying to coax the ball up in the zone?

Good for her, congrats!

This weekend's games against Texas, Indiana and LA Tech will be televised on the Longhorn Network.

I suspect due to her focus on keeping weight back on the rise. She was really in the zone vs PC and just whipping the hell out of the ball and having fun. Cannot wait to see her in Austin.

Bowman was killing Jake and Tiara in the Texas game. It made me mad watching it as the parent of a pitcher. He took the game completely out of the pitcher's hands.

He is still making them pitch middle/thigh high. This could be a 12-10 game.

Commentator just said the "batters really know the strike zone".. they sure do.. they are all waiting for the one right down the middle and if they don't get it they walk... (Texas just walked a run in)

Granted Jake was not throwing well. But the up was awful to both sides. Texas walking in at least 3 runs? Really screwed up what should have been a good game.
