We are now 0 for 11 with runners in scoring position

We've played eight, tied 2-2

[CadaverDawg]

Softball has got to back the pitchers up or something. One dominant pitcher can make a team elite. Shouldn't be that way. Too little offense IMO.

[BulldogBear]

Top of the 9th

Winkfield flashes the leather, robbing a well hit line drive

[BulldogBear]

5-3

2 down

[BulldogBear]

There are very few Double plays though. Ball gets through quickly also.

[BulldogBear]

Four pitch BB

2 outs, Tigress on 1B

[CadaverDawg]

There are very few Double plays though. Ball gets through quickly also.

Yea, the bases seem too close, and the pitcher seems too close. Basically there's just too many defenders too close to the plate for anything to develop. If you can't hit bombs, it's almost impossible to string together enough hits to score runs. Just my amateur opinion though.

Thanks for the updates by the way

[BulldogBear]

What a play Seitz!!!!!!! 5-3 ends the frame. She had to go up and get the chopper right at the 3B bag.

Mid 9th, knotted up 2-2

Going to the 10th, 2-2

[CadaverDawg]

See. Both teams continue to get runners in scoring position, yet both are combined like 0-30 with RISP. That's not a fluke...that's a flawed system IMO.

I'll quit bitching though. Hope we pull this one out

[BulldogBear]

Top of the 10th

Leadoff 5-3

1 down

Girl coming up hasnt gotten out all night

[BulldogBear]

Yeah, but the problem with scaling it up to halfway between where it is now and a baseball field is there would be ZERO homeruns.

We drop to 23-19, 3-11 SEC


Now, we've wasted Silkwood. No way she starts tomorrow. I don't think.

330pm tomorrow

[Bothrops]

We're always a few studs short in pretty much every sport, hence being sans natty.

[CadaverDawg]

So, do we suck? 3-11? Ouch

[BulldogBear]

So, do we suck? 3-11? Ouch

We've nosedived since starting the season 18-3. SEC is a beast. We don't duck but we have zero margin for error. Less if it were mathematically possible to express.

[basedog]

I have to admit I haven't watched our softball team but what the hell is with the props the girls wear? Is this common and do other teams do this? I can see having fun but when your team is next to last in the league it makes me realize why we are.

Way over the top for me.

I don't mind I guess. Is it any worse than a baseball rally cap? I don't pay enough attention to it to notice if/when other schools do it. And it could also be a SBW for all I know. Also, they were on TV. I got nothing really against a little zaniness if it makes us look like a fun place to come and play for recruits. Remember, the target is a 17 year old girl!

I understand what you are saying about recruits and fun, but being last or close to it ain't fun. Yes guys di silly stuff but I've never seen a coach wear pink sunglasses while in extra innings, nor have a seen guys bring and wear a rubber duck float during a game. Spider mask were kinda funny but every inning?

Go Lady Dawgs, man how bad would it be to not make the Sec tournament while hosting?
