I think Moss is getting close to her pitch limit expect around 140 is all they would want her to throw. We need to get her five runs so she can finish the game.

I just caught up on the tape but I must say Bama has looked a whole lot more aggressive at the plate than us. lockman her usual self and a poor throw to second on that steal. Scarlet always looks to me like she has her mind she is going to swing before it leaves the pitchers hand. Lockman does the same. Our best chance to score and Leach still feeding the ball to the 3rd baseman and gets doubled. Littlejohn looks like she is hittable but who knows. Maybe get one here with he bottom of the order.

Littlejohn, more than any pitcher I've watched this year, is hard to understand why she is so tough. She rarely throws a ball above the waist so you can ignore that and concentrate on down pitches. Her curveball moves away some but it doesn't really change plane much. And what I assume is her fastball, the pitch she throws the most, has a screwball spin on it but doesn't look like it move at all. The commentators keep talking about her spin. With the exception of her curve, her ball doesn't look like it moves that much. She can't throw it by anybody and she doesn't change speeds that much. Why is she so tough to hit? We have let 30 pitches go by tonite at about 62 MPH between knee and thigh high with no visible movement. Why aren't we swinging at and crushing that pitch?

If a pitcher can spin the ball she becomes so tough to beat...like Arnold when she spins it she is tough....one of the best all-time pitchers Cat Osterman never threw strikes but could spin the ball like crazy

I might add that I noticed yesterday that they have a lot of big boned girls that take a big swing and they are so much more UNATTRACTIVE than our LADIES!!

A total of nothing in that inning. On the the seventh need to get them with the big hitters coming up for us in the bottom of the seventh.

Osterman's ball moved a lot. Littlejohn doesn't look to me like her ball moves much except for the curve. And she throws lots of strikes. The purpose of spin is to get the ball to move. Maybe I'm not seeing what I think I'm seeing.

Wow. What is the point of commenting on player appearance? Do you remember the classless comments made by Taryn Mowatt's sister the year we lost to them in the finals?

Gregg has some good rips at her but right at the centerfielder. I think she need to hit it over the fence that is uncatchable.
