What’s the starting lineup this year???

My guess today before fall practice mix and match

P- Pickens
C- Nugent
1B- Boo/Barnhart
2B- Faw
SS- Mealer
3B- Barnhart/Boo
LF- Leach
CF - Fiedler
RF- Pannell
DH- Destiny/Leach situational

Fiedler can play IF and disrupt the entire list and add another player off the bench for OF.

This was my lineup. It would be interesting to see who comes off the bench in need & which freshman make the most impact.

No Taylor P??

No Taylor P??

I forgot about TP3, maybe she hits the infield? Or I could see Gabby being the DP and TP3 being in the outfield. I will say there is a lot of depth and quality depth a lot of good players will be on the bench so it’ll be interesting on how Karen decides to manage that in the non-conference. We need a lot of younger players to get experience so we don’t have instances in the post season where a lineup in struggling and no one to put in. Your starters are only as good as your bench. If you have confidence that anyone off the bench can be a spark plug then it’ll push the starters.

Ouch, adjust Taylor to RF. Twice now I’ve forgotten about her. And I’ve said since she’s committed she was a day 1 kid and left her off twice as a returning starter.

Morgan is one of the fastest outfielders in the country no matter the class. I think you guys are sleeping on her a lot. She may not constantly hit the long ball but she will consistently get on base More than your long ball hitters. I see Morgan cracking that lineup sooner than later.

Who’s she playing over? She’ll be designated base runner with Ahlin

Too much ahead of her for her to make a quick transition into the roster.

For you to say that it lets me know that you have never seen her play. I don’t think it’s to much ahead of her. Just watch and see.

One of the best outfielders on this roster. You will see.

Base runner only, only way she plays if she transfers to a mid major. When you are brought in as a base runner tough to earn a spot. Mesusan was a better player and it’s showing since she transferred. It’s ok not everyone can play in the SEC.

Easy dad, enjoy the moment because she’s in over her head.

Come on Daddy ball, is this a joke???? We got all conference outfielders on this team and brought in highly preforming transfer outfielder. They wouldn’t be doing that if they were happy with the incoming freshman class. Please work with your daughters base running IQ because that’s going to be her role and if she can do that it will be an asset pinch running for the team

Hmm. Or it could be she’s small and hasn’t transitioned to the college game. I’ve seen her Bolts team many times. If you’re going to post as a family member/friend you shouldn’t take it personally when others don’t see it.

I just asked who’s she’s playing over?

Fiedler has made it clear on social media she does not enjoy playing OF - will be interesting to see if she is starting in the IF or OF. Will Katie Taylor find a spot this year?

Fiedler will probably be both in the fall. Come spring, best 9 will probably have her in the OF. If not, I believe we have roster issues.

Believe Taylor’s spot is reserve player.

WCWS is not moving from OKC anytime soon and the SEC tournament needs to be moved to OKC every year if not you're going to allow the Big-12 to use it for theirs every year.

Personally like the alternating sites. Helps on logistics for fans wanting to see games closer to home. Plus boost in the local economies.

Lots of excited OU fans over that announcement. Wonder why? And no way the SEC tournament should be there.

Within a rotation, I could see it happening.

Time of staying home is over. The SEC is bigger than OU brand. Teams wont bow down and allow their time to host to be bypassed.

The SEC tournament will be at a permanent site soon, but it will not be Oklahoma City.
