    Gopher softball 2023

    Well you just did and give me a break. Taylor has kicked ass the whole season coming into a new program. She stepped up on defense and offense. She was probably one of the best additions to the gophers last season. Time to really take a look at overall run scoring and how they can improve...

    Well let’s just see how many there are at the World Series this year. Cant wait to see what kind of batting average wins it all. We lost to the team with the highest average even thou we have a pitcher with a very low era. Just saying in the end the stats start to mean something..hence why...

    Not sure what team you have been watching this whole season and in the past seasons. You can reread the 2022, 2021 and the 2020 forums and see a running theam that the Gophers have struggled to push runners in when we have them on base. It is a trait of a team that relies on the long ball and...

    So if you’re a bright player you have to stay bright forever and never rely on your dim players right? You need to be all encompassing and do it all. Your thought processes are in the trash. Most team sports are exactly that, a team sport so you should never have to rely on bright players.

    Not sure it really matters for travel for UCLA, pretty much take a charter from LA and hit all the Big 10 schools in the same time as the cheap ass current Big ten schools that take 6-8 hour bus rides. I think they will actually have an advantage when it come to travel just not the cold

    In the end pitching did not matter today because we hit the ball. Amazing what happens when you out score your opponent….you win the game! Simple fact today hitting and scoring wins games.

    That make sense for the innings then. I missed the 7th on the tube. Then I’m not sure why Syd would get awarded the win. If JC had the lead and returned that tells me the coach felt she was a more effective pitcher.

    JC had them handy and she left the game in the lead and could have easily controlled the rest of the game. The decision to pull her almost blow up and was a bad decision. It appears the coach underestimated Ohio’s hitting ability. She should have been returned to the game. Not sure why the...

    How many innings did she go without giving up a run? I know when Megan at UCLA went 34.2 it was talked about as being something amazing. If you’re going to give up a run at least give up via home run…that is just a great hit. Better then getting eat up one single after another.

    The number of strike outs by Minnesota batters is a big concern. Ohio has some good hitters that may take our other pitchers to the shed. I hope the game plan was swing for the fences cause the lack of discipline was huge.

    Chase the fact that Minnesota can’t execute double play has not been due to lack of opportunities it has to do with the speed of play by multiple players..it is lacking. Don’t under estimate Ohio who has a RPI of 37 Vs 30 for Minnesota. so far we are leading via home runs but the number of...

    Gopher softball 2023

    I would say that we have seen some very simple errors with our defense happen this year. Also the fact that we see errors that seem to get changed after the game seems to indicate that coach is being easy on the fielders. The fact that we’re last in the big 10 in turning double plays show me...

    Thank you for doing the research on that. I think it finally puts it to rest! Hitting and scoring wins games.

    Gopher softball 2023

    You are forgetting 3 years ago we had Amber and Autumn both of which were close to equal. We just had limited bats to help them in tight games. You have to have hitters. The 2 of them were some of top pitchers in The NCAA yet we could not get it done because we could not score. We left a...

    I would think that by the time these players reach this level they should already know how to handle that run down. If they don’t, it should have been uncovered in fall ball and gone over in practice. It is really hard to tell which is the issue, but as one fan on gopher hole stated earlier...

    “ * note: I admit I have criticized player performances before, but not incessantly and by name. “ Sorry folks I guess wanting to see some new players out on the field was viewed as negative from some one…I just would love to see some girls get a chance to show us what they could do if they...

    Okay so you pull your pitcher to protect her I can understand that…yet you don’t pull your catcher who has to be just as over worked. You don’t give anyone else a chance to play first base. You don’t let anybody else play outfield? You mean to tell me that the rest of the team is incapable of...

    They pull Pease because we really don’t want her to play against any easy teams..just the toughest teams. Yet they dont change out any batters to give others a chance to play. So you send the message that if you’re doing your job this season we don’t care, but if you’re sucking ass you get...
