coached at what level?

No, I concur on his therapy stance and that is based on my 50 year college fan analysis career. Just one of the categories in the EVERY TEAM HAS THEM subset of self identified fans. Denial is a key factor in most of those.

Good for you on the 50 year thing.

Sorry, but nobody “lacked” effort out there. I promise that they all gave 100%…they just wilted under the pressure.

Wilted under pressure? You wilt when your needs are not met. Coaching for example.

 

[PineyBluff Vo]

Two thoughts weak bench and last name.

Coaching

From AL perspective, that was the perfect ground ball. In yesteryear, it was called a Baltimore Chop.

Yes. They executed in clutch…we didn’t.

That was not my experience as a baseball player. No coach ever threw a ball or swung a bat for me. It was all on me when the lights were on.

 

[PineyBluff Vo]

Lol "poorly coached?" Alright then. "Lack of desire" too huh?

Let it out. We'll be your therapy where you can post your emotional reactions to things that aren't even remotely true.

Remotely true, you watch the same games I did. Poor play and Poor coaching. I stick by what I say. My reactions are not emotional. I have experience playing and coaching this game. I know effort and I know coaching.

True statement. It's a players game between the lines.

Like Alabama standing in PG’s areas? They crowded the plate all series.

They were in the box setup to get hit. Brockenbrough started normal, and when Beaver goes to pitch makes a slight move up. Subtle detail I didn’t notice in real-time, but watched it again today.

Guessing you DID have personal experiences that could be attributed to poor coaching! You don’t host NCAA Supers with bad coaching.

Epic shortcomings by members of this squad, including a multiple record holder with talent and class. They are the only folks whose analysis implicating the staff will be accepted by any reasonable adult!

Another thread that starts out on softball transfer portal and winds up being a rehash of the last season. Why can't UT fans stay on topic?

IMO coaching left a lot to be desired. It is hard to blame the players, especially when they follow the instructions of their coaches.

So the coaches told them to rollover to SS all weekend. Makes perfect since now. Thank you for letting me in on what really happened.

I only gave an opinion.

Yes by enforcing or encouraging that stupid split grip! Get up to speed bruh!

Love the players, not too wild about the coaching.

Talent is what put you in the game. Coaches are in control of what you do.

 

[PineyBluff Vo]

Sorry, but this isn’t Nintendo.

Who said it was. I have no experience with Nintendo. Sounds like a kids game.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Nope. Talent is what you display WHEN you are put in the game. Don’t think anyone can make a real case that the staff squandered any available talent.

Hate it for a bunch of them. Bet they don’t have a good handle on simultaneous lack of production, nor any of them coming through with a timely hit with runners on.

You can't fix STUPID. Once they step in the box, it's on the players to produce .

I agree on the split grip. While it has some usefulness in PRACTICE drills, I am not a fan at all of using it during games.

I personally think it shows down hand action and makes it harder to hit higher velocities. JMO.

TRUTH.

Come game time…it’s on them to produce.

 

[OrangeBeachVol]

Its still a head scratcher on what happened to Kiki's hitting this yr. Swinging at balls in the dirt, over her head. She had good avg but very subpar for her based on previous seasons. Was it coaching, personal distractions? Probably never know.

 

[OrangePark]

I’m still in shock of this post season melt down…

Big recruiting class coming in so they might not have a lot of money for portal players. As of now there’s not much in the portal. With Karen’s playing of Faw and Leaches doesn’t leave a lot of options for open positions. Unless they have massive important going into there sophomore years, those bats aren’t going to help the teams offensive problems.
