I I get that sinking feeling these days watching most all Gophers sports, men and women. I thought of buying a subscription to Big+ for today's game, but after one inning I knew why I hadn't. This is a Nebraska the Gophers beat 16 times in a row not long ago. Now they can't even get a runner...

A neutral-site game in Tornado Alley during March between two unranked Northern teams? Not a marquee matchup...

I for one can't figure the Gophers' coaches' handling of pitchers. Why in the world did they not start Schwartz in game 2 v. MSU? She only pitched 3 innings in game 1 and surely was rested. If she had pitched even 4 or 5 innings in game 2, it would surely also have been a win. Using...

I'm puzzled by Chavez's lack of hitting. Does she have an injury?

For the past few years Gophers infield has been pretty darned good, even outstanding. With more good pitching they would have won the BigTen a couple times. This year shows the drop off, esp with the SS gone.

Amazing performances lately by Schwartz.

After I followed every Gophers game on stats this season, I was eager to see the them live today. So I drove 150 miles for a twin bill. With Gophers v. Tommies, what I saw looked like a mid-major team, not DI. The defensive mistakes, weak hitting, and poor coaching decisions were an...

Snippes looks like a fine all-around athlete. Would she be better playing in the field and hitting than pitching? It was surprising that Schwartz let Miami back in the game today, but she pitched well. It's hard not to feel for the Miami pitcher. I suspect she gave it more than 100%.

Do our softball season tickets only cover Sunday's game? If so, I think that's cheap move by the U.

In the 1940s & 50s Mutual Radio Network sent a game-of-the-day each day so you could hear the teletype or ticker machine sending the "action" by machine. If it said "fly to CF," the studio announcer had to invent the excitement on the run. Was the "fly" a weak popup or a 400-ft drive?

I think she pinch hit for Schwartz and got a hit, not sure. Like you, I read the game, not watched it. We must all be kinda whacko; in this high tech age here we are like reading ticker tape the way it was done in the 1950s.

Interesting. A lot can change in one year.

Speaking of Duke, Oakland didn't play v. MN, and I couldn't find her name among Duke team hitting stats. Is she not playing?

After the Mizzou, Duke, and Tenn games, we can thank whatever-softball-gods we have that Schwartz has come back. No offense meant to anyone, everyone is doing their best, but this is not Gopher softball.

Dis Except that I never found any stats either.

BTW where do I get my trophy? and here I thought everyone hated me. LOL

I see. I knew there had to be a reason why I skipped paying to watch it and did stats instead.

Did the Gophers protest the purported bad umpire call on the 3-base error?

I understand your feeling. I have no illusions myself. It's just that the Admin. did nothing that I saw to keep the program going in the positive direction it was heading.

True, lots of changes in athletes, but the most important and damaging "out-transfer" of all was the young, charismatic, and highly successful HC. The admin. let Allister go without a concerted effort to keep her (which might have been impossible but....you never know) or even show the public...
