Tennessee Softball 2023

The responses are spot on. LVs are not going to steamroll every opponent in every game. Especially not in this league.

If you beat Fouts twice, you’ve done something.

Whose next ?

ETSU midweek and on the road 3 at Texas A&M

What is wrong with our baserunners you don't have to go back to the bag. You could play that half way to see what happens. Cost us a run.

I agree and the first base coach has to
be Instructing the runner...

Trying to wrap my head around this. So if she doesn't tag the base it would have counted.
But if the batter touched the base, runner can't go back.
Aphasia, terrible thing.

No Just faced a good SEC team. New pitchers just got a little schooled.

This bama team as not been hitting this year---that has been its problem. So it's a little worrying to see our pitchers give up 4 and 5 runs in the last 2 games....

Yes, I'm sure that our pinch-runner who was strangely going back to first on a ball hit high and deep to right-center will have heard about her
fundamental mistake. It is a bit worrisome to see that sort of mental error from someone who's played a lot of softball.

 

[WVU05UT09]

Wonder if Karen will ask Murphy if she can speak to the Alabama team.

At the risk of looking like an idiot whats this in reference to?

@WVU05UT09 During ESPN's unusual Saturday game broadcast, Kayla Brough (former Alabama player) interviewed her former coach Murphy. So, during the interview Murphy said once after a hard fought Alabama/ Tennessee three game series he asked Ralph if he could speak to the Tennessee team. Murphy said he thought the series had ended 2-1 ( Alabama' s favor). It probably was really 3-0 as so many of our encounters with Alabama have been disappointing. I like Murphy and I'm sure he was sincere. However, as a player the last person I want to hear from after losing the series is the winning coach telling me what a great team we've got.

Lmao.....they can't shutout every team for God's sake.

Remember The Titans "they will not score again" dang it

 

[DeerPark12]

She’s not hurt. Stupid decision by Karen not starting West!

Wrong.

 

[DeerPark12]

I don’t think Rylie liked being benched

She wasn’t benched. They are limiting her innings when possible to combat an injury.

 

[VolFanGBO]

Going to my second ever softball game on tuesday

 

[kregman]

She wasn’t benched. They are limiting her innings when possible to combat an injury.

Then I will rephrase “I don’t think Rylie liked being held out cause she came in with a vengeance.”

 

[VolFanGBO]

does anybody know if they sign autographs after the game?

 

[EZE]

then throw in the shitman fiasco and

Cmon, be better than that.

She didn’t feel like this was a good fit for her. And it worked out just fine for everyone.

Perhaps it wasn't necessarily a mental error. Since ball was hit to right field the runner on 2nd was tagging up. Because she was tagging up the runner on 1st could do so also, in a situation where the RF would shoot 3 instead of going to 2nd. That wouldn't be how I would necessarily play it defensively, but that is a possibility.

 

[SmokeyGrayCA]

I can't believe they actually lost on Saturday. Bound to happen I guess.

Seen this replay several times now and the pinch runner did leave he base on the hit but she either thought the RF was going to catch the ball and was running back to first to tag (it did look like RF had a chance) or the 1st base coach was telling the runner to come back. You couldn't see the 1st base coach on the replay. Doesn't matter now as we won anyway. I'm sure Karen has addressed that already.

I guess you could also consider that G the player that hit the ball has to make sure the runner is moving ahead of her even if she has to stop short of first base. She can see the player better than the player can see her need to pay attention to what the runner in front is doing. It cost G her fourth homer of the season sad to see.
