Softball UT Invitational

[Hoosier]

need a new softball thread --- on slap hitting, I wonder whose bright idea it was to change the rules to (basically) outlaw slap hitting -- some people who wanted softball to be more like baseball? bad idea IMO --- change it back!

I am wondering when (if?) we are going to see Rogers pitching again -- anybody know?

Stanford beat ETSU 5-3 and they had to bring Vawter in in relief ---- LVs vs. Toledo game starts at 12:30 (ish)

 

[Hoosier]

I notice that Parsons and Holcomb are not starting against Toledo today

 

[Rixxx]

Holcomb slapping, automatic out.

 

[Hoosier]

I am sorry, but I will never in my life understand walking the hitters at the bottom of the order

 

[Hoosier]

so many walks --- shades of Gabby Sprang --- smh

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Seggern to Ally at the plate-great!

 

[Hoosier]

gosh, what is so hard about just throwing strikes to the number 9 hitter? a wild pitch? really?

 

[Hoosier]

darn lucky Holcomb wasn't called out on that first foul ball

 

[Hoosier]

so who does extras favor? wonder if the runner-to-second rule applies?

 

[MS_LdyVols_fan]

darn lucky Holcomb wasn't called out on that first foul ball

I saw that too...she nearly stepped on home plate

 

[Hoosier]

well, that "strategy" sure backfired -- sigh

 

[Hoosier]

guess it's time to turn over to some basketball

 

[Hoosier]

amazing --- so I guess it will be LV v ETSU some time after 6

 

[MS_LdyVols_fan]

amazing --- so I guess it will be LV v ETSU some time after 6

And we have no one to depend on to pitch

 

[Vol67]

This team will struggle to finish at .500 for the year

 

[SGMVols]

This team will struggle to finish at .500 for the year

It feels that way. The string of 16 consecutive NCAA tournaments may be in jeopardy.

 

[Hoosier]

And we have no one to depend on to pitch

true -- a win would put the LVs against Stanford again tomorrow (probably), so saving Turner might be the smart move --- but then who pitches tonight?

 

[Hoosier]

This team will struggle to finish at .500 for the year

maybe not if Rogers gets back at full strength soon --- but .500 is definitely a possibility

 

[Hoosier]

7p start time listed for LV v. ETSU --- Stanford 14, Toledo 1

 

[Hoosier]

it's Turner ---- Seggern leadoff double ---- no announcers, no live stats

 

[Hoosier]

3 LV batters, 3 hits, 1 run ---- new ETSU pitcher

 

[Rickster]

Live stats is really off their game this season.

 

[Hoosier]

4-0 after one --- looks like they don't want Turner to pitch more than 5 innings ----- guess I will go watch SEC tournament wbb for a little excitement

 

[Hoosier]

LV vs. Stanford at noon Sunday --- my guess is that Turner will start

 

[Hoosier]

bring the bats today, ladies, and anything is possible ---- Go Lady Vols !
