I read one prediction that has Minnesota going out west into a region, I think, hosted by Arizona or Arizona State. Can't remember. Probably all wrong anyways.

I guess you just never know. This Michigan State team must not look anything like the MSU team that showed up last night.

Pretty much. A case of Jekyll and Hyde within a 24-hour period. Or maybe they just really like playing Michigan in the Big 10 tourney?

Enjoying this season and don't want to get ahead of myself, but has anyone hears anything about the next recruiting class. I know the five coming in next fall. Are there any line up for the following years yet?

How's the talent in the incoming one? I know they'll need Hanson to be power SS right away, don't know the other 4

Coin flip instead of seed for home? Just score 4 though and put them away early

Good call rowdaboat! What a start for the ladies. Looking good early, already chased their star pitcher.

Coach not realize amber is struggling because she's pitched 30 innings more than she needed to this season?

Kudos to Syd Smith in relief for some tough innings (with some swagger) against a very good NW lineup. Gophers batters were on today. Houlihan had an amazing tournament. It's been fun watching this team progress after all the adversity since last year and leading into the season.

How about Josey White to 1B (some rotation w/ Kendyl to relieve Kendyl and develop Josey as C. Both bats stay in lineup!). DenTartog to 3B. Hansen to CF (LF?). Arneson at SS until Emma Burns ("great eyes, soft hands" per Trachsel) can play enough DH and prove a better hitter. Lindner at DH along with Burns/Arneson. They both have to develop and prove they can hit. Lindner might also be valuable as PH with "slap hitting" for Small Ball game Trachsel coaches. Brandt primarily P due to better batters avail.

This approach might help fill the 4-5-6 hole in the batting order due to graduation of a great Sr class. Also improve hitting at DH and SS.

Older DenHartog brother still playing QB anywhere? Knew one of the older sisters and dad is the Hopkins coach
