    Baylor no hitting Maryland through 4 innings and up 4-0.

    Gopher softball 2023

    I honestly feel coming out of this weekend, they need a split between the Maryland/Baylor games. A&M commerce has to be a win. I don't see them winning both games vs Maryland and Baylor in the pool games. Maryland is 8-1 and their only loss was to Cal Baptist (Mike Smith head coach) which...

    Really seems to be affecting those “other teams” Social interactions (twitter, Facebook, and instagram) by team for 2021….B10 had one team, Michigan in the top 25. Has nothing to do with social media. SMH.

    This is a remarkably bad take.

    Different competition…last week was not great competition. Don’t be fooled by the hitting of last weekend. The have work to do.

    3-1 should be the goal. Virginia isn't a great team, UNC is better, but beatable. I'm predicting a 4-0 weekend. Clean up some of the hitting...we'll be just fine.

    I don’t understand this. I can’t knock the decision to play Strelow, her defense is fantastic. On a decent team, she’s a bottom of the lineup type kid. Low average, low power numbers, too many k’s. But her defense puts her in the lineup….but a proven clutch hitter….not a chance. Cox is...

    Not a blip. And Maryland is now in the top 25.

    Difference is, Alabama and Florida State are locks for the NCAA tournament. Losses to Colgate could be the reason the Gophers don't get invited.

    Hambrick came in after the rain was done. Wind was still there, and grounds crew were better about taking care of the circle. But she pitched well and did shut them down. She had two k’s per the box score. Also not sure on scoring but I don’t understand why the box score as giving her the...

    I thought she struggled a little with command. Wasn’t what we saw in the fall, but just the sense I got. The last game weather early affected all the pitchers with the slick circle. It didn’t look like she adjusted to the elements like she needed to. I was actually more surprised at her not...

    The weather is causing chaos for both teams at different points during the game. Rain and wind as well as a slick pitching circle. I’ll let you decide when it affected each team.

    I would say you cant' make any determinations from this weekend except that Pease will need to carry the team. I've watched every game, the opposing pitching was bad, worse, and not good. The Colgate game is what will happen if we don't have consistent production from at bats. Pease was...

    Gopher softball 2023

    This is about an honest of evaluation as I've seen about our squad. I feel like we can compete with anyone if everything goes our way (Pease 100%, freshmen contribute, upperclassmen improved, etc.) But what can't happen is losing to the likes of Iowa..but every other B10 opponent...they have...

    D1 Softball's preseason rankings came out today...only one B10 team in the top 25. We need that to change....even if it is just perception.

    Gopher softball 2023

    I don't disagree with this at all. But I also don't think that we even double our attempts from last year. Those types of wholesale changes don't just happen. The goal has to be to get runners in scoring postion more often. I also feel like our deficiences in the running game can be...

    You do understand that only Purdue stole fewer bases than MN last year...and that we had almost 100 fewer attempts than Indiana and Maryland??? We aren't fast.

    Gopher softball 2023

    I agree with this. While it takes a special team to win the conference year in and year out. Saying MN is destined for a middle of the road also ran shouldn't be the expectation. Northwestern has a loaded verteran team...Their season hangs on one player. Keep our squad healthy, the younger...

    Gopher softball 2023

    I think, with healthy pitching, we can be competitive. Northwestern should be the favorite to win the B10, pitching and the lineup returns. I think Illinois and Nebraska will follow them, After that I think it could be a wide open race. The goal is to be competitive in the B10 but making the...

    Gopher softball 2023

    My guess is a lot of opening day decsions will be decided this week as they open practice down in Florida today. 1) Bradley (7) 2) DenHartog (8) 3) Oakland (6) 4) Strelow (4) 5) Schwartz (3) 6) Krapf (2) 7) Chavez (5) 8) Ehlke (DH) 9) Gardiner (9) Pitching 1- Pease, 2- Hambrick, 3 Schwartz, 4...
