LV Softball Series Thread - Georgia

[orange beard]

Well we have used our best pitchers and losing anyway wonder what the next two games will be like. We were not ready tonight regardless!

 

[TouchOfGrey]

Glad Nicola in, Erin had a good inning and can now go tomorrow.

 

[volman128]

Baseball and softball both looking like crap tonight.

 

[Hoosier]

statistically, everything is just about even --- except the runs

 

[kregman]

Georgia just out playing us. Not our night.

 

[Hoosier]

first game on the road is the easiest to lose, just due to travel disrupting everyone's rhythms, routines, and psyches

 

[anecwnrjcns12]

50% being outplayed, 50% home plate umpire’s extremely small & inconsistent zone

 

[volforlife10]

that’s gonna happen when the ump behind the plate makes simpson gut pitches down the middle. nothing annoys me more than a very inconsistent ump.

 

[kregman]

Simpson giving her all but she is not an Sec pitcher.

 

[Hoosier]

65 balls on138 pitches = 47% balls by LV pitchers tonight

need to throw strikes to be successful, I believe

 

[volforlife10]

Simpson giving her all but she is not an Sec pitcher.

we said the same about mccachren last year, but she’s improved a lot under megan. i would let her have an offseason to improve.

Simpson giving her all but she is not an Sec pitcher.

Yet?

 

[Hooper22]

I mean we are in the middle to bottom half of the SEC in offense in most categories and our pitching isn’t really that good at all , I’m not sure what we really expect.

 

[turbovol]

Team is soo inconsistent. Wildly so.

 

[anecwnrjcns12]

Simpson giving her all but she is not an Sec pitcher.

I mean she has natural drop it seems. If she is able to have more control and mix in a consistent change I can see her being a Gaffin-like pitcher

 

[TouchOfGrey]

Was hoping Nicola could set’em down but just not our night. No timely hitting, pitching not sharp, a couple of hit batters,a couple base runners thrown out, and balls not carrying or finding their gloves. Flush it. We’ll be better tomorrow. Ivy is not a .215 hitter, her bat will be heard from before it’s over.

 

[Hoosier]

they'll get 'em tomorrow !

Simpson has no top end speed.

 

[volforlife10]

all we have to do is win the series, which we still can do. the bats absolutely have to show up the rest of the weekend.

We will be alright a lot of things went Georgia’s way tonight they beat Bama the first game last weekend.

Really: what has happened to her bat. Wasn't she our most consistent hitter last year? Or certainly one of them? This team is all over the map. Will hit four home runs and score 8 runs one days and then barely scratch out four hits the next--and we've that most of the year.

 

[kregman]

She even with the bunt she is in a long slump.

 

[kregman]

Not sure Karen will be pleased with the focus tonight though. Baseball is struggling tonight too.

 

[RebKell]

Va Tech just beat FSU in 9 inn 6-3.
