Tennessee Lady Vols Softball 2022.

[OrngeJuiceJones]

And there's another run, I felt it coming. Bad vibes man

 

[lvocd]

Oof. 3-0 Beavs.

 

[WVU05UT09]

2nd place finish the SEC, 17 straight ncaa tournament appearances as regional hosts. Regardless of what folks tell you here, she isn’t going anywhere.

That doesn’t mean she is immune to criticism.

There is a five year rule. If a coach doesn't reach the height of their professional career again in a 5 year period 9 out of 10 times they aren't going to do it again. I doubt we get back to the WCWS with Karen as head coach.

Fat lady isn’t singing yet!

But she is warming up

3-0 bad guys

 

[Jax_Vol]

Malveaux can pack his bags tonight. The bats have been embarrassing today. No wonder Missouri didn’t fight us to keep him.

Poor hitting for sure

She‘s a victim of their own success. You’re just not going to make it to the CWS every year. It would send shockwaves through the sport if she were fired.

We haven’t made a WCWS in 7 years. And now we can’t even win a home regional anymore.

 

[volsagain]

Losing this game with Ashley Rogers not touching the field is a top 5 idiotic coaching decision in UT history if she wasn’t hurt.

There has to be a reason she's not pitching , my guess she was unable to for what ever reason .

 

[orange beard]

Glad we did hire a new hitting coach!

 

[TJVol95]

Weekly is terrible. This is getting old!

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

Who was it in the SECT thread that defended the hitting coach?
They could pick a random person at the rest area on I-40 and get comparable results at a fraction of the cost

 

[BelleVol]

Tennessee Athletics are trending positively in so many sports.
Womens softball is not one of them.
What a wasted afternoon watching a lifeless leader lead a lifeless team. Again. Ugh.
Karen and Ralph coached as a team. They should have retired as a team.
Danny White is doing a great job getting winning leaders. Don’t stop now.

If the media don’t press Karen for an explanation, they’re not doing their jobs.

To this I would reply in my best Jim Mora voice CWS CWS CWS!! We haven’t sniffed the CWS in years now.

 

[popvol]

I’m sure the reason given is she wasn’t feeling on top. Well that’s why you don’t pitch her Friday.

Yep

 

[Volstylexx]

We haven’t made a WCWS in 7 years. And now we can’t even win a home regional anymore.

Like I said, she’s a victim of her own success. The program was non existent before the weeklys. As long as they’re making the tournament she isn’t going anywhere unless it‘s her choice.

 

[MS_LdyVols_fan]

This team has lacked fire for weeks now. Ayala plays like she doesn’t care. Doesn’t even try to hit anywhere but straight to first. This team has no desire to win.

 

[lvocd]

It's obviously 100% mental, which is far more frustrating than losing because you don't have enough talented players.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

EE had only given up 1 hit going into the 6th, lets not act like she was getting shelled. OSU hit Ashley hard to start last game and thats why they were in this position in the first place. There are a lot of things to criticize Karen for (mainly the offense) but choosing to go with EE isnt one of them.

 

[volman128]

Epic choke

 

[westtnvoljackson]

Such a sad outing today. All you have to do is win one and your hosting supers. But no another year another choke job.

Do they ever ? They just look for drama

Kind of like Fulmer... Except the non existent part. But he was probably around a little too long, however we suffered for canning him

 

[JohnD13]

Past time for a coaching change

 

[volman128]

To this I would reply in my best Jim Mora voice CWS CWS CWS!! We haven’t sniffed the CWS in years now.

And they never will as long as a Weekly is the HC.
