I really do not understand the thought process of constantly moving people around. I would play boo at 1st, Pannell at 3rd (until Puni is cleared for defense), Des at 2nd and Mealer/Faw (if she shows improvement) at SS. Nugent at catcher every game. G has absolutely business playing right now, literally none. Also, no Brockenbrough at DP or OF is baffling in my opinion. Towards the end of last season she was one of our most consistent offensive players. This has been a frustrating tournament. We have way too much talent to be playing like this offensively.

Brock has hit the ball hard in her at bats.

Bama really testing themselves early in the season. Not.

I mean the only reason Bama was ever able to hang with top teams in the last was because they had top tier pitching. They do not this year so obviously you have to play lower competition in order to gain some confidence for your pitchers.

No Katie either. Boy Karen will go the extra mile to get G in the lineup, and never thinks about pinch hitting for now.

Okay hear me out I think the fact that G's swing is structured to lift the ball is a big problem and you saw it in her last AB when the pitch she struck out on was over the plate and I'd say for a good amount of hitters they are making solid contact with that ball.

I think the problem is Kiki and Puni. Every time get ready to go, NO lift from either of them. And the K factor(kiki) is just devastation

Glad Charli throwing some nice innings, will give Karen another option in certain situations. Puzzled by Boo at 3B and Taylor at 1B. I thought Taylor played a nice 3B in the fall and personally I’d want my 6 footer at 1B. Maybe early on just trying out all of our different combinations. At some point it seems that Jami should get some ABs based on how she finished last year.

Not trying to defend Bama 'cause I can't stand them, but I guess you didn't see my post last night concerning Alabama. They added a stud pitcher from Central Arkansas as a grad student. She is the real deal and already has a no-hitter this season against Villanova. Her name is Kayla Beaver, stands 6'1'' and is very intimidating. She reminds me of the girl they called the Night Train from years ago and pretty sure she will be their ace this season.

She has a baseball swing played with her brothers too much I guess.

Oh I know that she is good. I followed UCA a lot during the latter half of the year, but I am saying 1 stud pitcher isn't going to carry you to a long post season run. Look at Stanford, without Canady they are just another team and I am being honest about that.
