We are missing our ACE being healthy.

We are missing a dominating strikeout pitcher. You have to have one to compete with OU.

 

[kregman]

OU is like the old Bama they steal your souls when they beat you. You can go in thinking you are good enough then reality sets in.

 

[Putbacks]

The ump would like to just light a match to us and throw gasoline…

 

[OrangePark]

You guys were just fighting for G and she was playing lazy on that last play

 

[Orange931]

We need a UT baseball miracle, a Christmas miracle

 

[BigALWiLson]

Ashley isnt healthy, Payton has thrown twice in this WS and gotten beaten up both times.
Karlayn is the closest thing we have to the Stanford girl OU struggled with twice. Toasting you Ace who isnt 100% heading into the losers brackets isnt a good idea.

That may be true, and I agree to an extent however is an 80% AR better than a Freshman with no WS experience ? There are always questions. The big one that weighs on my mind is that they couldn't win it with the best P this University has seen or likely will for a time spell. They lost with a better roster and the most dominate P in the game because they were not aggressive. This is my opinion.

And she made the play...we really going tit for tat... come on she made the tag...let's walk it off...

Karlyn can be that

What do you think though Kregman? You watch a lot of softball. If Rogers pitched against OU the way she pitched against State last night, I think Lady Vols could have been in it late. I don't think Stanford is any better than the LV's and they pushed them twice.

You lost me here

Katie shoulda hit the first pitch out of the park.

 

[volman128]

Taylor is another player that needs to be relegated to the bench next season.

If youre going back to the Abbott days, I agree we lost with her being timid on offense.
However Karen seems to be changing her approach to hitting. Karlyn has the potential to be Elite, we just need someone to compliment her.
Also like I mentioned earlier we have 6 hitters hitting under .300. You cant have that in major college softball.

Katie shoulda hit the first pitch out of the park.

Can’t swing at a pitch down the middle, apparently.

Imagine how good of a hitting team we would be if we made pitchers pay for throwing meatballs

I think Hoo could take her spot and bat 9th and be fine.

ISTG I’m convinced Karen tells them not to

 

[kregman]

I’ve expressed many times the coaching malpractice while Monica was here. I think Karen has done a pretty good job this year. What she does this off season is probably going to set her later legacy.

 

[volman128]

KiKi has looked lost all game

 

[vollygirl]

This team was really easy to cheer for. Thank you Lady Vols.

 

[Switch 625]

Such weak ABs.

 

[JCP201]

Well. Hate to lose but great season.

 

[Volstylexx]

Heads held high, Lady Vols. You made history this season, and you've made us all so very proud!

It took us too long to switch from slappers.
There is no way the 2007 team shouldnt have won it all

 

[volman128]

SEC regular season champs
SECT champs
Finished tied for 3rd at the WCWS

A very good season. And we return almost everyone next season sans any potential portal entries
