    Gopher Softball 2022

    the maryland pitcher was routinely hitting 73 on the gun. and her off speed was spotted well and at about 58. she was throwing a screw ball that jammed a lot of the righties. i think some people made good adjustments on her today. the righties stepped back from the plate a little and the lefties...

    at the practice that season ticket holders could attend the players introduced themselves and said what position they played. valencia said, "i'm a first baseman and apparently a pitcher this year?"

    hostettler is struggling mightily at division 3 augsburg. i don’t think she would have been a big help at this point. not to say she couldn’t figure it out at some point, but her stats right now are not good.

    she dove for a ball in left that came out of her glove. but she did come back in to run later in the game.

    i’m so frustrated with the game management by the coaches. how do you let slap hitter denson hit in that situation? bases loaded, down by 6 and you don’t bring someone in who can get you back in the game with one swing? just makes no sense at all.

    rudimentary stats since the gophers don't seem keen to post them again this spring. can't guarantee they're accurate since i'm pulling from box scores. but they should be close.

    in one of the articles it said that landfair had an abdominal injury and that we were looking to redshirt her.

    Gopher Volleyball 2021-Fall Season

    the gophers listed “medical reasons” in the game summary. to me that says not an injury. she also hasn’t been on the bench, which also suggests not an injury. but it could mean anything from covid to the mental health stuff she dealt with last year. total speculation.

    Gopher Volleyball 2021-Fall Season

    you're so right. obviously retke is a special player...but their middles had 36 kills yesterday and our middles had 1. our middles have 164 kills on the entire season (95 sets - 1.7 kills per set). it makes it even more amazing that samedy is able to do what she does considering that the block...

    Gopher Volleyball 2021-Fall Season

    i don't think half-speed warm-ups is the same as playing in actual competition when rehabbing an injury. up until about a week or two ago she wasn't even hitting in warmups. just standing around during that part and collecting balls. if, as someone else mentioned and it's an abdominal injury...

    the miyabe article says "Jump ahead to this season. When sophomore outside hitter Taylor Landfair went down with an injury in early October, Miyabe got the call. Since that day — a span of 10 matches — Miyabe has posted nine matches with double-digit kills, including 10 (.280) in Thursday’s...

    the current team hit groenewegen surprisingly hard. denhartog had a double and a triple, i believe. the team had 7 hits in total in about 5 innings. dowell had a couple of SLICK plays at 3. she looks like she's going to be great there. strelow's arm looks like it'll be a real asset at short. the...

    Gopher Volleyball 2021 - Spring Season

    we're tied for 4th in the big ten in number of aces. and we are 6th in aces per set. that's out of 14 teams. i'm not saying that wenaas isn't a better passer. but i think you're overestimating how much passing landfair has to do in one rotation in the back row to serve. i also think she's...

    Gopher Volleyball 2021 - Spring Season

    i think it's pretty plain in the stats...in their service chances wenaas has 2 aces and 6 errors, landfair has 9 aces and 6 errors. that's one off the ace total of both samedy and schaffmaster in way more limited opportunities. if one of them is going to have to serve, probably better the one...

    then why are you all writing off samedy and the other seniors? wouldn't they all be eligible too? not understanding the logic.
