This reeks of a few years ago in Clearwater. Something is wrong in the locker room on this team. They have shut down over the last 3 weeks and there has to be a reason for that.
That's unfortunate. When you have a chance to add a Boobie to the roster, you need to close the deal. In my opinion, there are not enough Boobies in the world.
They absolutely have state and conditioning as well as nutrition specialists. Those people can’t follow the player home or block the Taco Bell drive thru lane though. When my daughter played, there were disciplinary actions for players that missed weight or had conditioning issues. Not sure if that is ok in todays environment.
Wells is a stud. I have been pining for her arrival for a few years now. She has Reese type power at the plate and will be effective on the mound as well. I think she may get to 74-75 mph as she grows into her body. We will see how she turns out.
I won’t be shocked to see a whole new staff behind Kavan next season. Mac and Simpson are gone. Cit will be bumped to 3-4 via the portal and Salmon will have to find a way to stay on the team as well.
No doubt it was absolutely intentional. It was a smart play, but it didn’t have to be that type of collision. She just needed to bump her to get the call.
Oh, there is plenty to roast Torina for, but this ain’t it. Every coach in America coaches their players to initiate that contact and try and draw an obstruction call. It is the 1B’s responsibility to get out of the baseline. Now the laughing and giggling with the coach after the fact was pure bush league.
My main problem with Torina is that she has a habit of playing favorites and fosters the “mean girl” mentality on her teams. Then when the victims try and leave, she stops at nothing to run them down to other coaches. In the days before the portal, she would block all the schools in a players home state when they would try and leave. My dealings with her go back to her FIU days and she is not a good person.
Bennett needs to sit a few games. Stewie needs to find her swing, Goode is not good at SS, Mia is a badass, Mitchell is a hardass and Reese Atwood is a grown ass woman.
This is a big series for many reasons. For the Horns, it is about toughness and bouncing back after the shit show last weekend. Getting some consistency out of the bats and acting like we know how to run around the bases. For Torina and her Tigers, this weekend is about showing you belong in the conversation for one of the top teams in the conference. They have not played well of late, and need to find some success as the season winds down.
OU's offense is not good. Some of the luster is beginning to wear off Patty's golden boy hitting coach....although I am finding it hard to sling much mud after our team's performance last weekend.
