We are just not the dominate SEC team anymore in ladies softball.

This will probably wrap up the season tonight against Stanford. I don't have a lot of confidence in that the Bama offense is going to make a quick turn around and put about 6-8 runs on the board. I might be wrong and hope but it's very doubtful. Next it will be interesting to see which players hit the transfer portal next week. I'm thinking a mass exodus like last year. RTR

 

[Tidexc1]

Any reason why you think a mass exodus like last year?

 

[BAMAneck]

Pitchers with a change up really challenge our players to be successful consistently and have for a few years now. From what if read on the web and heard during the game vs Boomer , all Stanford’s playable pitchers have that pitch.

If Bailey Hemphill could’ve figured out that pitch , there’s no telling what her numbers could’ve been.

Lack of coaching.

Get ready to hear about the Sooooooners!!!!!

Mowins could be one of the best play-by-play people if she'd mute herself.

1st AB is a double. Not only that, but also that means it's probably time for Mowins to start worshipping at the feet of Gasso.

3 pop ups. 3 outs. Surprise!!! Surprise!!!

The Trees score

Fouts finally gets her K's

I can see 3 Jrs. and maybe 1 soph. transfering. Their playing time has been nearly non existant, Gidley, Haney, Grill and possibly Barnhart.

Don't disagree with you here. Hate that for Grill. Otoh, if this is really one of Murphy's least-talented teams, and those players can't find their way onto the field or even a PH spot, then perhaps a change in venue is in order.

 

[bama alum]

Thanks to Stanford not working its game plan, Fouts has had it really easy the last two innings. 1 - 2 - 3 on just seven pitches. Good to see it's not just Prange hitting those first-pitch outs.

I heard Barnhart is already in portal. Didn’t even make trip to OKC

 

[bamanc50]

Watching this game and the season it’s very obvious Patrick Murphy and the coaching staff doesn’t put a lot of emphasis on batting. Watch strike after strike go by them and then swing at balls in the dirt. UNBELIEVABLE!!

I think there may be some freshman starters, like last year, that will not stay around.

Good to see Coach Patterson in attendance!

Hope like anything Cahalan comes back. She's going to be a leader like either Prange or Shipman is.

 

[bamanc50]

Stanford just put their freshman ace in pitching. She held Oklahoma to 2 runs yesterday. Not good for the Tide.

Good call...I didn't know.
