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.

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...

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...

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...

5/10-5/13 In Champaign-University of Illinois

The gauntlet is what got them into the NCAA tournament last year. Anything less than 5-0 against this group hurts their chances.

Maybe a little inside info....but not any that I'm going to out. Much of the drama was out there for everyone to see on the Gopher softball Facebook page. A mom on the team basically threw Leavitt under the bus for her antics. Leavitt was blaming her struggles on pitch calling, Ritter lets...

I think it's safe to say not fans have the full understanding of what is going on inside the team walls. There was more to both Dueck and Hostettler leaving than knees and command. As far as Leavitt, obviously programs try and get to know the athelte the best they can, but remember, during...

Do you know first hand that they weren't looking? I have knowledge that they were. Finding a quality player in the portal that wants to come here at semester break is probably a little more difficult than one might think. See my other post about the pitching issue. No way can a program...

If we remember correctly, both Dueck and Hostettler left in the fall. No way the coaching staff saw that coming and in no way was prepared for that. No way did they see Pease being as limited as she was, and really didn't see the trainwreck of Leavitt's personality on the team's culture. I...

No chance they put Cox behind the plate. Bad knees. Same for Strelow. I'm guessing the 2023 catcher is not on the current roster. Depth and experience, yes the loss hurts, but there are better catchers out there. Key is finding one.

Chloe Evans officially at UCF.

Most of the time, coaches have people in mind but are waiting for the Florida Gulf Coast league to wrap up. Waiting to see if someone catches their eye during the summer season. Many of the FGCL players are in the portal. There are also smaller tournaments that are just for portal SA's that...

Not sure if this has been posted somewhere, but Hollifield is in the portal as well.

Krista Wood resigns from South Dakota State to take the head job at Creighton. MN should look hard to see if Tori Kniesche would be interested in a B10 transfer.

Ally Miklesh lefty slapper from WI is in the portal, must have a COVID year remaining. Rachel Becker from Purdue is also in the portal. I'm guessing they are both looking for GRAD schools but both would be great addtions to our team IMO. Heck, might as well bring in Storako and get the B10...

I don't think youare missing anything. 100% need two transfer ptichers. BUT.....finding quality that doesn't want SEC or PAC12, wants to come to a cold weather climate, knowing that you are at best a #2 (if Pease is healthy), knowing they are bringing in 2 transfer pitchers, knowing that there...

OK..I'll bite.. Might want to read your "too early" lineup for next year posted above . So who on the current roster has a better chance to hit leadoff than an unknown? DenHartog could do it, but I go with a highly recruited SS with a good bat. Burnett is athletically good enough to be an...

I'll Play. 1. Oakland (6) 2. DenHartog (8) 3. Chavez (5) 4, Schwartz (3) 5. Kinch (2) 6. Strelow (4) 7. Cox (DP) 8. Leschber (9) 9. Burnett (7) Pitchers: Pease Schwartz Transfer 1 Transfer 2 Hollifield
