Tennessee Lady Vols Softball 2022.

[VolBalls33]

If Mississippi State beats FSU that's the shocker of the weekend. Also Bama losing at home was a shocker as well. So of course UT says hold my beer. Ugggh

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.

We are the Ladyvols not some mid major. She may be a victim of former success but not in current years. Karen’s worst trait as a coach is she is really bad motivating a team. She knows all the technical stuff for sure but it does not make it on the field especially in postseason when it really counts.

Just no power hitters…we have a lot of quick scrawny girls…look at other rosters and you see the difference.

 

[Voltrapnbama]

This batter is lost

just saying, be careful what you wish for. The grass isn’t always greener on the other side.

Her only claim to fame as a coach for years was coaching slappers, which she was absolutely very good at. Took India Chiles and Sarah Fekete from walk-ons to First Team All-Americans.

But it's 2022. Slap hitting is obselete, and now she has no strength. She can't motivate a team. She can't coach hitting, she can't coach pitching, she's not great at calling pitches. WTF is she good at, besides having the personality of a tree stump?

That sucks.
GBO!!

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Game over.

 

[Jax_Vol]

They beat us three out of four. Have better team

 

[cwbytruckers]

Flame out again

TN losing to a team that had already beat us once this year is no where near a shocker of Ms. State if they pull that off.

For the longest time it was the opposite this season. But we have had few games where both the hitting and pitching have been top notch, at least against good opponents. Typical LV softball.

EH not really, the offense might have been hot at times this year, but it was way too streaky. Ive followed this team all year theyve been prone to this prolonged droughts against good pitching all year.

 

[volsagain]

Exactly, this is the issue and has been. The offense is just lacking. Terrible AB after terrible AB. Same thing in the SEC tourney. I came into this weekend thinking the pitching was good enough, but questioned the offense.

Yep can't win if you don't score and 1 run want win many games either .

 

[volman128]

But y'all. Y'ALL. This team will be FINE! They have *great team chemistry*.

It's been streaky but it was good enough for us to win many games with our pitching not doing well.

It's time for new energy. Just is.

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.

Go back to Friday night is all I will say. Don’t blame EE at all with any O we win.

I was hoping Karen would exit stage left when Ralph left but we were obviously not so lucky.

 

[Volstylexx]

Disappointing end to the season for sure, but much to be thankful and proud of. As always GBO!

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

This loss is squarely on Weekly, her decisions and her “hitting coach”.
I hope it gnaws at her every single day until next season.
No excuse.

A game against a mid major?

 

[Jax_Vol]

Just like bama, the SEC girls really struggled against Pac-10 pitching. They are very good admittedly. Made the bottom half of our order looks silly.

The pig girls beat the ducks, but the others shut us down. Arizona shut out Mizzo.

 

[kregman]

A game against a mid major?

Exactly why did Ashley pitch in that game.

 

[SGMVols]

Can’t wait to see which critical starter hits the portal this year to go play for a coach who actually lets their players have fun!
