Don't fall for that Hrothgar. You don't "trash" anyone. Like 90% of the posts on here your respectful. Wish we would have played today. We could have built snowmen beyond the fence for our players to aim at.
Let's look at MLB since they spend millions of dollars trying to figure out how to score more runs than the other team. In 2022 an player considered an excellent hitter in MLB made hard contact with the ball 40% of the time which resulted in an Average of .322 The hitters made Medium contact...
Wow? Mr or Mrs twinsbballfan either you were having a bad day or your just a curmudgeon looking for company. Northwestern is a very good team and Minnesota showed that they are just as good. It was a great game that could have went either way. That's usually what happens when two good teams...
Western Kentucky beat Alabama last year and went extra innings with Duke in the NCAA tourney. Their #1 pitcher is an East/west thrower that had a low 2 ERA. They are fast so they will put some pressure on the catcher. Going to be a good first game.

I think Syd Schwartz will be a very good pitcher. She has a different element with her spin and change ups. I think she will have the most success vs tougher teams.
Also transfer Amani Bradley has a good swing and looks like a good lead off hitter.
I believe it will be better. I think if they limit how much Autumn pitches she becomes a better pitcher. The GCU transfer looks real good and Schwartz and FSU transfer will be competitive also. I hope they pitch by committee in every game.
Here are some takes from the alumni game. Nani V alternated at 1B with Delaney and both of them had really good swings. Fr Jess Oakland played SS and looked strong and talented with the bat and in the field. Transfer Riley me payed LF and looks like an effective slapper. Sydney S pitched and...
My two cents on all of this. The portal and NIL are creating a toxic environment for college athletes. Your never going to hear about a player who transfers and says “yea I came in with a bad attitude “ it’s always going to be the coaches or someone else’s fault. I think they will go after...
