⚾ 🥎 🥎 NCAA Super Regionals 🥎 Alabama wins Super Regional for the 12th time in school history

Until brown figures out how to stay in the box I think she needs to just hit away . I went back and looked at the last few games and even when she got on base and wasn’t called out for being out of the box , her foot was out .

Seems like the ump is really watching her in these last few games not so much the other teams slippers ( at least till Thursday night when the fans called out the female ump repeatedly and she finally called the Texas slapper out )

And murph panicked in my opinion taking Goodman out because he could see our offense had taken a sabbatical after the 2nd . And almost seemed ticked that the game announcers called him on the early hook .

I noticed they really started calling it in the Arizona State game when Murphey made a stink about it with one of their batters. I for the life of me can't understand how a D-1 athlete on one of the Top 10 teams in the country can't stay in the freaking box. I can't stand slap hitters anyways, so it pisses me off even more knowing we waste an out on a player that can't get under control multiple times.

Try looking at if from the perspective of being a shade under 5' 3" and trying to hitting a good pitch that's high and outside.

Going with Montana instead of Cornell today.

Brown called out 3 times tonight for stepping out of the box.

Four AB's yesterday. Her first AB was KS, her third was L7. The 2nd and 4th AB were called.

Hemphill's home run puts her one shy of Kelly Kretschman's single-season record of 25, which has stood since 1998. It also increases her RBI total to 77, just three shy of Marisa Runyon's single-season record from 2015. She has also reached base safely in 36-straight games. A first-inning walk to sophomore Kaylee Tow improved her season total to 65, just one away from Cassie Reilly-Boccia's school-record mark from 2010. Freshman Montana Fouts (18-5) took the loss in the circle.

First inning walk ties Reilly-Boccia's record.

Tide* with HR in the 3rd.

(* EDIT: an auto correct that really doesn't bother me.)

Come on Bama. Don’t let them make a come back !!

 

[bamanc50]

This is unbelievable! 7-5. Texas hits a home run with bases loaded.

I really don't get Murphy...Montana gets in a 2 on no out jam and he leves her in and she gets rocked...last night he yanks Goodman like a bad tooth in the same situation and it cost us the game.

Well I played baseball all my life and into college and was on the shorter end, so I see no reason she should feel any different and can't reach all corners of the strike zone. I graduated high school at 5'8-125 pounds, luckily grew taller and added more weight in college, but was very tiny for a D1-AA (Georgia Southern) player at the time. And if her height keeps her from that maybe she isn't as gifted athletically as maybe one needs to be.

When this team gets a lead they start playing not to lose. Murphy making some questionable decisions but he’s the coach.

You "see no reason she should feel any different?" I'm not sure what you're trying to say there.

I see this as a mountain out of a mole hill situation. It's a new rule that's taking some time for her. It's only happened 12X, but more attention is paid to it in a loss than the other times.

As to your dimension versus hers and using that as a comparison isn't an equal comparison. As I mentioned earlier, with her hair blown out she's 5' 3", I've talked with several who say that overblown by as much as an inch. However, if we go by the five inch difference you've mention it translates to you have about three more inches in arm length. (Arm span normally equals height so we're comparing a 5' 8" arm span versus a 5' 3" arm span.

As a side note, if you've been watching today you heard Jessie Mendoza say the same thing when AB came to bat in the second inning.
