Gopher Softball 2025

Gophers load the bases in the top of the 7th with no outs. Then cant get the ball out of the infield and lose 2-0 to McNeese.
I really hope there's a coaching change after this season cause this program is in gutter.

“Change” is an enticing nymph, but change almost always ends but for the worse. I think that it would almost certainly be for the worse in this case.

I feel like were going to miss the NCAA tournament again this year, but what hoping for is to see significant improvement from the pitching, defense and timely hitting (especially how to bring runners home). When we get good pitching we can’t hit and if we hitting then the pitching fails and errors with either scenario.

The only chance we will make the tourney is if we win the BIG tournament. However, at this point I don't think we would even make the BIG tournament.
 

Should not be losing to Mcneese, Vallejo was their best player but she transferred to LSU this season

Well… there is zero chance we are making the NCAA tournament this year.

But the goal is to do well in the Big Ten tournament. It is just so sad that those money grubbing fools at the Big Ten Conference allowed UCLA, Oregon, and Washington to come in and take up the three of the four Big Ten tourney semi finalists each year.

I was thinking the same thing this afternoon. How did Gopher softball get out of the gutter in the first place? Simple. We got lucky on a totally unproven coach hired at a bargain basement salary.

And rest assured this administration wouldn’t be throwing money at a new coach. Odds are we would go through 10 more coaches before we got lucky again.

So I’ll stick with someone who still has a lot of support in the local softball community and hope we can get lucky with a pitcher or two to regain our lost relevance.
 


With Krapf and Valencia gone at seasons end can’t even imagine how we’re going to produce any runs next year as it’s already limited.

The caliber of recruiting has to take a big step up. Should be plenty of clubs to pick from in state

Minnesota is in the position we are always in as a far-Northern school, we need to get lucky.

Current players need to take a big step up in their development and we need a pitcher that has “it.” Moulton, Groenewagen, Fiser, and Pease are recent examples of a Gopher pitcher who had a strikeout pitch as a 18-year old (Pease had obvious strikeout capabilities at Idaho State). It can happen again.
 

We just need the recruits to do the bare minimum to win because if they start to get gaudy numbers other schools are gonna come poking around and next thing you know they're transferring out.
