Need Morgan bunting more as a leadoff. Should've bunted her when we had the runner on first and no outs. Probably need to move her back to ninth if they are not going to use her speed more.

Glad LVs got the sweep and did so without Karlyn today. Love to see that. Since I’m not at practice everyday it’s hard for me to evaluate lineups. But based on game-only observations, my personal preference is Kinsey leading off, Saviya 9th, and the Des-Laura combo. I like Des’ bat and she has shown she can adequately play 2B, has even made some great plays! But we’re 25-4 as is.

Got a pesky 19-6 E. KY team this week and then I think Arkansas will be arriving with a somewhat desperate attitude being 1-5 in the SEC. So they’ll be dangerous. But our “A” game beats’em.

If we’re constantly pinch hitting for our lead off hitter, when the games on the line, why are we putting her in that situation in the first place?

Tell us you don’t know anything about Softball without telling us you don’t know anything about Softball.

Because she is a slapper. Her job and her skill set is to use her speed to get on base, typically with a hit or bunt inside the infield. Batting her in a run-producing opportunity is not a correct move unless she has been previously pinched hit for and you need her to stay in the game defensively. You always pinch hit a bat that will swing away in that situation.

Needs to bunt a bit more especially if the infield is playing back to start the game. I like her leading off and Fielder second when either of them gets on good things happen and when they both do were in a great position.
