  1. I watched the game tonight. LSU looked like hammered dogshit. They played like worldbeaters against us. Sigh.
  2. He needs revenant Augie to teach the team some pitching and defense.
  3. I made a conscious choice after 2019 to go all in on softball because it was pretty clear we had a great coach east of comal and a shaky one across the street.
  4. I don't think Pierce is gonna be pulling any rabbits out of a hat this year. We are ass. Across the board.
  5. I thought some of the episodes were uneven in writing and storytelling, and I agree some of it was heavy-handed and very paint-by-numbers. The Tuskegee episode in particular had a TV movie feel to it and just seemed thrown in there. But I'll be damed if they didn't nail it with the finale. I got misty at the end when they showed the real-life counterparts to each actor. I enjoyed the series overall.
  6. I'm only an amateur internet pilot, but I'm gonna call bullshit on a movement like a slow automatic car seat causing an abrubt enough forward force on the yoke to cause a dive where people are hitting the ceiling. Sounds like we had full elevator deflection. That's more like the seat slamming forward like the old manual car seat adjustments.
  7. well, I like the rotation at RF. But the love affair with Mitchell at 1b is odd. She's pretty bad there. I would move Mia to OF, Joley to 3rd, and maybe try Cimusz at 1B. She's got a better bat right now than Goode IMO.
  8. So there's a switch causing/allowing the seat to move forward quickly enough to cause an instant zero gravity dive? Is it next to the "wings fly off" switch?
  9. I agree in general, although Kavan is definitely a swing and miss pitcher (she has 55Ks this year). I think she will be considered "elite" by the time she leaves.
  10. I agree with his recruiting philosophy overall and that seems to be the way college softball is going - hitting is king. I like it; the games are more exciting in my opinion. The key, though, is you have to have a Ron Washington-type on staff that can teach good hitters to be decent fielders because it's more feasible to take someone who has a great bat but shaky fielding and improve their fielding than vice versa. Obviously, you're never gonna turn an iffy fielder into a starting SS, but you can definitely do it at the corners.
  11. But like last year, those numbers are heavily influenced by crappy teams. 8 of her 12 hits came in games against LMU, Northwestern State, Tarelton State, and Hofstra. We won't see pitching that bad now that conference play has started. Against decent teams (Stanford, Colorado State, Louisiana, Texas State, Penn State, Houston), which is what we will see the rest of the way, she is 4/19. Not atrocious, but not that great either. I think that's why she hasn't seen more time.
  12. I went back and looked. She batted .206 last year after conference play started with Tech. She did well when the pitching was weaker and teams had no film on her. She's done better not chasing out of the zone as much as she did as a freshman. Still, she is not squaring up balls when they are there. She has some bat drag in her swing, but I've noticed lots of softball chicks do, so I'm not sure that's a huge issue. We need her though. She's a really good fielder, but her bat just hasn't been there, and I'm sure the surgery didn't help.
  13. I'd like to see some rotation. I agree with @Js1 that it seems as though Mia and Ashton have 3B and RF on total lockdown, and I'm not sure why that's the case. Down to our last 3 outs. We fucked ourselves in this one with Kavan's poor start, but LSU is good and she is a freshman after all. Still, you gotta love the fact this team doesn't fold.
  14. it's total bullshit. He's not giving us those calls. I'm amazed Bella even got a barrel on that last pitch. Blue is a clown.
  15. LSU and blue killing us with the outside pitch off the plate
  16. great inning for mac. Best she's looked all season imo.
  17. LSU pitcher is quite good. She has great command and offspeed, which is our kryptonite. Also Mac is now in the circle.
