    Gopher softball 2021

    This is very true. It is also true that some pitchers seem to get stronger and more dialed in with more work, while others tire out and lose their movement/command. We know from previous seasons that Fiser can certainly handle a heavy load of pitching. I think most of us would agree that she...

    Carlie did get the key double to open the scoring for the Gophers plating two, however if I am the Huskers I would have been very upset as she should have struck out looking a few pitches prior to the double. Everyone watching and in the stadium knew she should have been rung up, except for the...

    Kinch continues to swing a hot bat this weekend with a double down the line. Then the Gophers allow Brandt to hit, she strikes out but the ball is in the dirt and she is thrown out at first. Macy Gill pinch running for Kinch takes 3rd on the throw to first and the Cornhuskers gift the Gophers...

    Kinch sure had a day at the plate!! Maybe she can catch fire and get it going the second half of the B1G season. There is no doubt she has some serious power.

    I agree. I cannot understand how you let a batter with such a low season average hit with runners in scoring position when you can pinch hit at least once a game and re-enter the player one time. You have several options on the bench just waiting for that opportunity. As you said, you don't...

    Very big win for the ladies! Great job Gophers!

    Definitely some home cooking from the umps. No doubt it is worse in the SEC, especially if you a team from any other conference. Really didn't like the call to bunt KK. You absolutely knew they were going to walk DenHartog. And Hansen didn't look good in her previous at bat. I would have pinch...

    Gopher softball 2021

    I am very confident this team is an NCAA tournament team. Is it worthy of hosting a regional? Very doubtful, especially in a year where the B1G is only playing conference games. We all clearly want the team to be competitive to the point of being in the conversation of hosting a regional and...

    NCAA Tournament 1st and 2nd Round Games 2021

    This is a serious understatement. It is what makes basketball so frustrating to watch for me. I enjoy basketball, especially watching it played well with crisp passes and cuts, but this is what makes me quit watching for periods of time. The last minute of the Iowa St. vs. A & M game was 20...

    Good comeback by the Gophers today to scratch out a double sweep this weekend. Pease continues to roll. Fiser is looking better as she gets into her groove too. Definite room for improvement at the plate, but at least signs of life there. It was really nice to see Elle Jensen out there this...

    Gopher softball 2021

    What I see on this forum are fans following the team and discussing it. All quite respectfully and clearly rooting for the Gophers to be as competitive and successful as possible. Just because we talk about ways we think they could improve or things we would do differently doesn't make us fair...

    Agreed! And when the veterans aren't hitting and no change in the lineup results, competition is removed from the team. I am certainly not saying the veterans are not trying, but when you know you are competing for playing time, it is amazing the level players will reach. That seems to be...

    Gopher softball 2021

    I understand this was the first weekend of live play in a long time for the Gophers, so it is understandable to be a little rusty. However, playing 6 games should have provided plenty of time for that and you should be ready to roll in the last 3 games. I agree with the concern several have...

    Gopher softball 2021

    I guess I didn't expect them to necessarily start at the same time as everyone else barring news that they had secured some Southern venue where teams would meet and play all weekend (which would have been awesome!). But to seemingly still be putting things together, when almost the entire rest...

    It is ridiculous that we are less than a week away from the start of the season and the Big Ten hasn't even published a schedule. If I were a coach from another conference, I would use that in recruiting battles over the next few seasons. C'mon, get your act together as a conference.

    All Things OSU vs Bama -- Who Do Ya Pick to Win?

    I think this should get post of the year for 2021! No need to wait until the end of the year. I think I may use this as a PSA on my social media accounts.

    That would be another option to begin play earlier in the season. There are no rules against doing so by the NCAA or Big Ten. It is just a money and logistics question. I think something like that would be awesome for the conference. The ACC was discussing a tourney type format to play extra...
