  1. TK mixing speeds now. Better pitch calling.
  2. need a new approach coach. That ain't workin.
  3. why is TK's only pitch an outside fastball? She used to work the whole zone and mix speeds, with tons of swing and miss.
  4. Was Cit getting squeezed by the ump yesterday, or was she just that bad with her command? It was hard to tell from my seats. The crowd was rough on blue all day.
  5. yeah, we could use a good lefty.
  6. [Chappelle] you hate to see it [chappelle]
  7. It’s hot as fuck out here. Holy shit.
  8. More baserunning bullshit. God damn.
  9. We are not in peak form at the plate right now.
  10. Shift fucked us there.
  11. Bennett is basically coach’s kid at this point. Its painful.
  12. Theres our normal baserunning fuckery. Running into a tag. Jesus.
  13. The Stewart experiment at short has to end. Move Goode back. Bennet or mia at 2nd.
  14. They are playing some good ball right now. Ford has done a heck of a job.
  15. Stewie at SS is a choice.
  16. So am I. Our stadium is very bush league by SEC standards. I'll be there on Friday. Hopefully, it's cloudy.
  17. 8 out of 12 11 in runs scored. 4th most errors in the conference. that'll do it.
  18. Even average pitchers have a penchant for shutting us down if they have a good offspeed. It's singleton's kryptonite. We're gonna need good TK to show up this week and next. She will likely have to pitch her arm off.
  19. UCF is a good team, not to be taken lightly, especially with how we are playing right now. They beat Florida 4-0, and beat OSU (along with a close loss in extras). We need to brain dump the last month or so and get back to mid season form.
  20. I trust Cit more than MM at this point. If MM can't get the low strike call, the wheels fall off and it's BP.
  21. Nothing says "this tournament is irrelevant and shouldn't be played" quite like "it's going to rain today, so we just cancelled the championship game." If the championship is so unimportant, why make everyone fly out to Georgia to play to try to get there?
  22. Agree, but MM has always been a dropball pitcher. She used to be able to throw it reliably for a strike at the knees, so you couldn't just lay off. She had the lowest WHIP on the team last year, even with only one deadly pitch. But that's gone now. On a more macro level, how has the staff not worked with her in 3 years to develop a decent rise to pair with her dropball? If you take Kennedy at TAMU, by contrast, she came into college as a pretty standard lefty curve ball pitcher. But now she has a full arsenal of pitches and just got drafted into proball.
  23. The problems on this team run deep and start at the top. Those of us who have watched all year have known (whether we admitted it or not) that this is not a top 10 team. Our record is fools' gold. 1) recruiting - I got worried in the fall when I noticed all three newcomers did not look good. Like should-not-have-been-offered-not good. We did nothing in the portal. I'm not sure I can trust his evals anymore. 2) Assistants - SS is a baseball guy who knows how to coach mechanics for our big bats. Our gameplans against good teams are not effective. Our in-game adjustments against good teams are non-existent. He still hasn't taught anyone other than Mia how to adjust to offspeed. Worse, we don't even seem to hunt offspeed when we know it's coming. Back to scouting and adjustments. Just laziness. PRT has been a failure this year. The pitchers obviously haven't developed in the offseason. Every single one of them has gotten worse (though that's a MW special see below). Her pitch calling in games seems iffy. The pitchers are fragile when facing adversity. 3) MW has a pitchers problem. I've been on an island saying this, but something is going on with our pitching development and has been for sometime. Way too many of our pitchers go downhill after their first or second year. I'll just take MM as an example. Do we really think she just forgot how to throw a dropball? Something she's done since she was a little kid? She was one of the best in the country at that the last two years. Her dropball was elite. Now she just throws belt high meatballs right over the plate. 4) lineup - why in the world does KB even play? Can't hit, can't field, shouldn't have been offered. Why does KS play short? If you are going to have LG in the lineup, you have to move her back to SS. She's error prone, but she's the best we got. Why don't we ever break up our lefty lineup a bit when facing lefty aces? We're just inviting innings of nothing happening at the plate. 5) the little things - Why are we the stupidest baserunning team in America, every year? It's just sloppiness and lack of attention to detail. I honestly think MW is realistically the best we are gonna do. He's taken us to two MNC finals. Who else would we want to replace him? No one thought Ford would piss a drop at TAMU. Are we willing to take a gamble on someone like that? But, he needs to do a tear down on the program and do some real soul searching. And some portal searching. I'm not sure he will or can do what it takes though.
