Dropping Vandagriff in the order has been good for her, IMO. She looks like she's getting her mojo back with the bat.

Pupillo has to get down on that earlier and slide. If she does, she's easily in there safely.

Bigtime series win! Bama has now positioned themselves very well in the SEC standings and hold the tiebreaker over Texas. Hopefully now, the "let's wait and see when they play somebody!" crowd is satisfied that this is a pretty damn good softball team.

Keep briski healthy, and keep Moten growing, these ladies may have a shot!!!!

They pitch good enough with the way these ladies swing the bat…

Briski isn't completely healthy now, but she's good enough. Hopefully, some rest this week will do her good.

You are right that as a whole, this team is set up to compete with anyone... offense, defense, pitching, and depth. And contrary to what some believe, Murphy still has it... they got behind the 8 ball on Thursday night early, but overall, his coaching this series was elite. The lineups, the pitching changes, etc... He pushed the right buttons.

Yeah I was one of the folks wondering if he had enough fire in him to be a contender again. He’s done a helluva job in the off season and in game!!!
The announcers mentioned the other night about the diets and workouts have changed. From what I understood, previous years there wasn’t really a true “food plan” for the ladies.

From the bigger picture too, a lot of it about hitting the evals on the recruits and whatever transfers are brought it. Nobody is going to bat 1.000 on that... look at the basketball transfers Oats had this year. Too many misses. But Murphy was brought in players that are closer to what he used to get. And it's harder than ever to do now with UT and OU in the league plus all the other good teams and money that flies around. But he's got a good core of young players to build around if he can keep it going with the talent influx.
