The conference has always been terrible; but those are our peers and have always been our peers. Those Gopher fans who think the bar should be set higher than performing well in our conference are masochists pure and simple.

I just don’t know. It is the players that are the people out there on the field. Why can’t we at least acknowledge that many players have to get better? Coaching is not nothing, but it is overrated in my book in terms of the wins and losses. I think what we need most from our coaching staff...

I would concede that this season was less strong than I expected. Obviously I agree with the point bolded in the post above because, as we all know, a team’s success in this sport is so driven by their pitching.

Was that over two games in a mid-week double-header?

Yeah, that’s probably true. But one can hope they play well and catch some breaks to win multiple games this coming weekend. I doubt we are going to pitch any shutouts so the batters are just going to need to hit the ball hard and hope that good things happen.

This is the type of complex analysis that exists in the background of creating a softball team which many fans don’t consider when they make their comments on the team and it’s future.

I’m hoping for 4 more Gopher softball games in the next 6 days.

I love this post. So funny. Although dlw4gophers’ response was not exactly inaccurate. My preference is that our existing, young pitchers spend the summer getting a helluva lot better going into their Sophomore season and can really help out Susa when she gets here.

Starting to think about the transition from the 2024 to the 2025 season, besides preserving our current key starters from transferring out, there is a lot of homework that is going to need to be done by Snippes, Richardson, Grayson, and a healthy Schwartz so we can have regularly stellar...

I have decided to rate this Friday softball game against Nebraska as “highly important.”

Seems like an easy choice. Stop going to men’s basketball. They stink. Focus on the other sports.

Not as many as there used to be.

So let’s have a great and enjoyable Big Ten tourney… the best week of the entire softball season!

Minnesota gets two wins? - that’s my guess.

It seems clear to me that Gopher softball fans are less chatty than in past years. After a sweep of Iowa, there are relatively few posts on this board. I think we need a star pitcher to fire-up this fan base again.

When Lindaman transferred I thought that our Gophers Softball program will never have a player of her caliber of power like her again. DenHartog was very close at times of her career; and obviously made a lot more impact overall to the softball program over her 5 years than Lindaman did in her...

Well that wasn’t smart. Oakland will smash that pitch every time.

Fans appreciate all the information from Gopher68.

It’s harder to accept this now knowing that it wasn’t up against Tori Kniesche.
