I'm noticing a trend where any pitcher with a good changeup seems to shutdown our lineup.

Goode with a 2 run double. Goode to see for her.

Just tuned in 2-2 against NWST
did we just file it in after the first week or what?!?
we seem to be slumping at the plate as of late, and doing our usual circus routine in the field.
Just now, shadow_operative2.0 said:4-2, Mitchell double.
there we go!

we need to be sitting on the changeup, especially early in the count. This chick loves to throw it. Instead we love just looking at it.

Table set for Henry.
-
bella looks pissed getting moved back.
-
comedy of errors in the infield makes it 2-2.

we are just fucking around now in this inning. jesus.
-
Atwood rolls over the 48 MPH change piece. Hard to wait on that one.
-
Stewie 2 run dinger. Knee is fine.
-
Stewie with a foul ball off the knee. ouch

Neeson sounds kinda like Nielson, so Hollywood said "sure, let's do it."

Chilly. We're gonna need hats for bats; keeps bats warm.

Lulz. This is based on a modeling exercise.
Back in the real world, there have been at least three RCTs using real people that find no benefit of Paxlovid in terms of hospitalizations and deaths, including Pfizer's study of standard risk patients. They actually suspended the trial. The benefits to this exorbitantly expensive drug to the average person in 2024 (already vaccinated; likely already had covid anyway) are way oversold.

I think it was in this thread, which is actually gold to read if you start from the beginning. @Pasken maybe?

I think Yang’s Capote impression was decent. I hope he polishes it up. There’s some potential there.
A Capote impression in 2024 struck me as an odd choice. He died in 40 years ago.

We need more out of town tournaments apparently.

I wonder if we continue to ease Stewie into catching and then switch her and Atwood at 1B/C eventually - get both bats in and Stewie may be the better defensive catcher. I don’t want Mitchell playing 1st at all. I’m almost thinking:
C Stewie/Atwood
1B Atwood/Stewie
2B Goode/Washington
SS Martinez
3B Mitchell
OF Dayton/Henry/Maloney
DP Scott (or Henry and put Mia in the OF)
great thoughts. I do like that we are rotating Stewart at catcher, if for no other reason to take some wear off Atwood. It's tough . . . she's got a great arm and can hose runners with it, so she's not a bad defensive catcher at all. She's just not a great blocker IMO. Her bat is something else though - she's a beast.
I did notice that Mitchell's footwork at 1B needs work. I actually like her better at third as well, which is weird because it's a much harder position than 1st. One note on Mitchell and Stewart: they are both surprisingly fast for big hitters. Stewie in particular is a big chick, but she can scoot. What an athlete.
Mia's a tough one. She has the athleticism to play 3B, but she Roger Dorn's too many instead of squaring up and working through the ball. I would also consider some rotation at RF with Maloney (Henry, Mia, Hunter?). Ashton gets on base, which is great for the 9 hole, but her short game/slapping tends to get shut down against good pitching/defenses. Mike has some tough choices to make, but it's great to have so much talent to make the choices tough.

Just crazy that we lost a game on a dropped play at the plate, when Henry threw an absolute strike to Atwood. It was a comedy of errors all night on defense, and yet they were still in the game. Gotta find a way to keep Scott in the line up, but off of 3B. Every play is an adventure with her
The poor blocking technique by Atwood on the previous play to even allow the runner to third was just as bad. So was the bunt that Scott put out there the previous inning and the leaving early by Bella. It was a true team effort to fuck things up there at the end. I wouldn't put it all on Atwood's drop. That was a dime by Henry though . . . what a shame.
I'm a catcher dad so excuse my obsession with blocking. I noticed that Atwood's technique was not the best last year as a freshman, but you live with it because of her incredible bat. The frustrating thing is, unlike hitting, almost anyone can be a better blocker - it's just technique and grit.

It's good to play tough close games like this early in the season. It's a long tough road to OKC.
A few thoughts:
-- we're never gonna be a buttoned-up defense under White; he values hitting over fielding (I can't blame him). So we are gonna have some adventurous games. This one seemed especially bad on the defensive side.
-- I thought our pitching was great - we gave up one earned run all night.
-- We had some big hits in key moments, but I didn't really like our approach at the plate all night. Canady's elite, so it's gonna be a battle. But we were way too aggressive at anything middle up all night, and that played right into her strength as a riseball pitcher. We have to spit on that early in counts and make her throw strikes up in the zone. Her change is devastating - can't let her get to two strikes easily or it's over. I hope we learn from that for later in the season.
--Harping on the above again, we even fucked this up with our bunts. Late in the game, we tried to sac bunt Bella over to third with no outs. The whole stadium knows we are likely bunting, so we have to know Stanford's gonna go up in the zone to try to get us to pop up a bunt. That's just what we did. Mia absolutely has to lay off anything that looks middle up there. She did the #1 thing you absolutely cannot do in that spot. Was she coached at all on that?
--I didn't know leaving early was now reviewable. That's gonna be quite interesting as the season goes on.
--Hunter needs to play more.
--Atwood is a fucking monster at the plate. Just unreal. She's not a great blocker, but see my first point.
--Even though we lost, it was a great game to watch. Pretty nerve racking.

We have fucked around so much in this game. Seems like we are setting ourselves up for the finding out part.

Atwood’s blocking has always been her weakness imo. The drop was just a random mistake. She has to work on her blocking tho. It’s not great.
-
Our shitty fielding may come back to bite us in this one. Need the bats to bail us out in the 7th.

This feels like a playoff game.

Ha - prob not a bad idea. I bet coach throws a decent one.
I'd like to see our approach change a little and start hunting it, especially against girls that like to pitch backwards with it.
