    I agree. One glaring weakness needs to be addressed. We have zero team speed, no threat of stealing bases…even watch out initial leads at pitch release…other teams know we are not a threat to steal. Secondly, we are flat out awful at bunting/moving runners….as evident by numerous base...

    Highly unlikely. They were trying to win the game. Without that call they are still sitting with a runner at first and only one out. That call, while entirely appropriate from what I saw, really killed their chances, with two outs and no one on. I think it happens with anyone playing second.

    Home run hit the top of the padding on the wall and bounced back into the field of play. I’m sure the discussion was if it actually went out of play. Play 2 was a hard late slide at 2nd (runner on 1st no outs) ground ball tried to turn the double play. Strelow got taken out. Ruling was...

    Clearwater is the place to be. Just a fantastic environment...next year!!!!!

    I don't agree with this. She is a career .219 hitter, flashes good defense once in a while. Not a home run hitter, nor does she steal bases. Strikes out at a 20% of AB's career clip....true we might not have anyone that can replace her( I'd try hard to find anyone at this point---send a...

    Two things….obstruction should have been called as the catcher was set up on the line without the ball. An easy call not sure how that wasn’t argued. Secondly, that slide was rough. That should have been a head first evasive slide left hand goes to the outside corner of the plate. The tag...

    Is she injured? Just seems odd with how little she has played

    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...
