    Costa and Evans are also in the portal. Not shaping up to be a good day.

    Both Denson and Leavitt are in the portal. I'm guessing there will be at least two more joining them.

    And most if not all B10 staffs have 2 pitchers that throw. Some have a #1 that eats up most innings, but suggesting teams have a 4 person. Pitching staff isn’t correct either. We could be like Purdue and have 10 pitchers on the roster….like the saying goes, if you have 10 pitchers, you really...

    I think it’s been discussed about both Dueck and Hostettler leaving in the fall, losing them…you lose depth. Trying to find a portal pitcher that they want to invest in at semester break has to be difficult. Plus they wouldn’t be getting time to actually see what they are capable of. Jones...

    You bring in 4 portal pitchers and you can probs Lu kiss Schwartz and Sippes goodbye If they bring in 4 portal pitchers you can probably bet that recruits like Schwartz and Sippes won’t be Gophers for very long. But if that’s a choice they are willing to make, they better find kids that fit the...

    Missing the big picture. Go back and look at game logs, Pease is on a 60 pitch limit. The coaches know more than we do.

    Although the current group might not be winning as many games as we would like them to be, thinking that starting the SA's that aren't getting playing time might be better isn't a good take. The coaches see what these SA's do day in and day out, in practice, in scrimmages, all the time. There...

    I can understand that, to a degree. If it's constant and you have an era of 5+, a whip of 2, at some point as a freshman pitcher, you should be told to throw what is called. If you have pitches A,B,C,D in your arsenal, you should be able to throw those pitches when they are called, or they...

    No inside information, but I'm entirely guessing that Valencia was not brought on board to pitch at all. That is out of necessity to save Pease and Leavitt...not just thier arms, but mental well being as well. Dueck and Hostettler leaving put them in a bind. Anyone clamoring for Hollisfield...

    If a coach guarantees something...especially playing time....I can guarantee they are lying to to you.

    Agree that we need more pop in the lineup, but thinking that Kinch, Evans, Valencia, and Chavez are going to provide it seems a little premature from a group that only has 21 homeruns in their collective careers (with Kinch having 11 of those 21). I think Evans is on the cusp of being that type...

    Falling behind in the count is a pitching killer. Especially with the zone college softball has. Combine that with the number of walks they are giving up plus the homeruns. They are in a tough spot right now. Free bases and the long ball with make winning games difficult. Starters whip...

    She was also hurt last year and they weren't sure if she would even be able to play this year. My guess is it's still not better.

    Saying the U didn't have the guts to keep JA isn't seeing the whole picture. They wanted to keep her, really tried. But after her 56-5 (55-3 regular) season and not getting a top seed, or getting out of the regional, it's easy for anyone to see that winning a national title as a team from the...

    Just to be accurate...Charlotte is good, maybe not quite top 20 (they are receiving votes), but they just knocked off a talented Virginia Tech team that was ranked #5 5-2....Rochard pitched for VA Tech, so it's a legit win.

    I agree, but she only hit 4 innings in a game twice last year. Hardly enough to be considered a legit Saturday starter. Unless I'm missing something that should suggest otherwise.

    I'd bet Dueck leaving has nothing to do with Pease.

    I wholeheartedly feel the same way. I don't know if Hollifield showed enough for them to not go out looking in the portal for some help, both this year and maybe next.
