Gopher Softball 2024

Right, but more like the 50s. He was 22-3 in the horrible 1951 season for the Dodgers.

Retired after the '54 season.

Quite average numbers but good to see Wisconsin losing players

Wisconsin P Paytn Monticelli is entering the transfer portal, she announced. As a freshman in 2023, Monticelli posted a 2.71 ERA, a .235 opponent's batting average, and 82 strikeouts in 80 innings of work.

Transferred to Oklahoma, sure seems like better options were available in portal

Not if you want to win!

I'd guess a good decision if she gets playing time. I don't know how much fun it is to sit on the bench a whole year, even at OU, if she never plays.

The NU softball team is now listed as one of the problem teams just like the football team and Pat Fitzgerald according to one of the new lawsuits.

That whole athletic department needs an overhaul.

Some of it is getting to be a stretch for what is getting coaches sued/punished. Players accusing coaches of making them run sprints as punishment for breaking team rules is something that happens in every level every sport

Taryn Kern transfers to Stanford… someone once responded to one of my Softball board posts by writing that it was impossible (yes, impossible) to transfer to Stanford.

A quick google says their acceptance rate is 1-4%. But I'd bet athletes have an easier time, or at least make up a good portion of those transfers.

It's a good start for her. She is also recognizing that you can't always start at a "name" school and need to work your way up.

That and her alma mater already has one that isn't going anywhere.

Vawter from Stanford and Jones from Unc via gophers to South Carolina

Nice MN Daily article about Jessa Snippes:

I am excited for UCLA and Washington at home.

You've got to be joking right. Have we learned nothing during COVID?

The BIG is suddenly a power softball conference. One could argue the top 3 softball programs in the Pac12 over the past decade (especially now that Candrea retired) are now conference foes.

Until Patty retires it's still a competition for second place

Same thing was said in Women’s BB about Connecticut. South Carolina has done okay the last few years. Once this NIL is figured out by more teams, Oklahoma’s run will end.

They can't play everyone each year. I'm assuming they'll come up with a different type of scheduling than they've done anytime before. But when you think about it, the flight is two more hours? Not a big deal.

I was referring to the Pac12, but yeah, there's no question Gasso built the best program in the country.

Problem is all the coast to coast travel with someone losing 3 hours on time zones and a 4-5 hour flight. Be better off scheduling in pods where you spend whole week on the coast playing multiple teams and only have to make 1 flight each way.

UConn just can't stay healthy, significantly more talent than LSU but injury bug already started with freshman center torn Achilles in international play

And the Gophers have just been pushed further down the softball power rankings in the Big Ten.

As a softball fanatic, I could always hope that my team could make a run and at least win one tournament, the Big Ten tournament. Now I’ll be dead before that happens again. Actually, my kids will probably be dead by then too - and they’re presently in elementary school.
