    We lack speed & athleticism because they've gotten them too big. I coached one of the kids and she's put on 15 LBs since arriving. She didn't need it. Our pitching sucks too! Almost all too big as well.

    They could be following the example of their head coach

    Yup!! Speed is where it’s at in softball. Period. And Aspen is the best Pitcher we have and it’s not even close but we aren’t using her except for midweek stuff.

    They're still trying to figure out the pitching. We just don't have a stud.

    Sounds like we re-allocated Joe Moorhead's S&C to softball.

    Have they been to the water park lately?

    Not trying to be cancel culture here but can we not comment on the size of these young ladies. I'd expect more from a pastor. Maybe I'm sensitive suns I have a daughter is some would consider bigger and you don't understand what all she has to go through. Sorry if this offends people but those girls don't need to be shamed

    What happened to the girl from Neshoba? Wasn't she supposed to be a stud? Forgive me I don't follow softball that much but I remember hearing on a podcast a few years back that we had gotten a phenom pitcher from Neshoba I think.

    We wouldn't be MSU if we didn't destroy our own.

    Some of these girls have added the size since arriving. I don't have an issue discussing it as long as people aren't making fun etc. I think it's a legit concern with all the weight being added and in the sense that we lack some athleticism and speed. Obviously we like girls with size because they bring power. But the team is limit overall because of the lack of speed and athleticism. We'll be at the bottom of the conference in stolen bases and taking extra bases on hits. It's simply part of softball. If they win doing it, this all goes quiet anyway. Great chance with AL right now!

    I tried to tell everyone she was good but not elite. She's been ok so far. Seems to have an inning that gets her most games but so do all of our pitchers. I liked what I saw last week. She just needs more experience to get past the bumps.

    We can’t comment on a player seemingly not being conditioned well? Good grief. I am fat. Bad fat. I’m not making fun of anyone. I just think we should be recruiting speed and developing some of these girls bodies to be more successful as a program. My Lord.

    She’s the best pitcher we have. Easily.

    Instead of finding 'anything' positive to say about the team, you point out that we have 'a larger than average team.' NOT, that they are winning, not that they are smashing HRs, BUT that they are larger than average team. And, you absolutely meant to 'disrespect' the team or you would not have posted it!

    Couldn't have said it better myself. Glad I don't belong to your "flock". Would hate if my pastor was on a message board pointing out how out of shape my daughter is when his fat ass is gasping for air trying to preach the good word.
    Sorry...

    14 Ks in 6 innings against Fouts for AL. That's a career high for her.

    So not only can we not run bases well but we make up for it by striking out too much? Nice!

    They aren't underperforming. They faced one of the top 3 pitchers in the country and a top 5 team. Errors on a couple bunts beat us. AL only had a few hits. We have to hit bombs to score because we can't create runs like AL, who has a lot of speed.
