it suck’s when you have more hits than the other team and still lose. there’s potential in the team, they just have to find it. not having boo is also killing us. saying i miss her is an understatement.

Going to be a rough season

Going to be a rough season

losing to ucla by one run does not warrant the sight of a rough season….

 

[orange beard]

She’s getting it now

Dont think so!!!!

 

[volforlife10]

Dont think so!!!!

sage got the loss, rightfully so. the one pitch did her in. i wouldn't even say sage pitched bad. she came the next inning and looked fine.

 

[kregman]

Let’s put it this way if you are the other team would you rather face Sage or Karlyn? We all know the answer.

It’s the same problems though. Offense just doesn't show up for big games. Hope it changes

the offense gave us 3 runs which genuinely should have been enough. since karlyn got in trouble, and they made the stupid decision of taking her out, that didn’t hold true.

No it’s respectable, but shows cause for concern because we were up. I’m more concerned with the loss to Oregon.

 

[teeball]

Two agressive base running errors in the 1st probably cost us this game. TWO players thrown out a home plate.

agreed. oregon we 100% should have won. don’t get how the offense can put up 3 on ucla but none on oregon.

Yeah. Idk why she would take her out

 

[kregman]

Karen does a lot of thing well but pitching management is her worse trait especially the big games. How you could pull Karlyn there before she even gave up a run is mind blowing.

 

[kregman]

Well not the end of the season but old trends popping up. The one picture of Boo on the fence in the sun looked like she was going to throw up. Not good for someone coming off probably concussion

she was shown in the game cheering and jumping down which looked a little promising.

Our season depends on what the 2rd and 3rd pitcher can do against good competition. We will see the best pitching our opponents have.

 

[kregman]

agreed. oregon we 100% should have won. don’t get how the offense can put up 3 on ucla but none on oregon.

Look at the lineup for the Oregon game that was not repeated. I have my own opinion of why that lineup was made and it is only an opinion which I will keep to myself.

 

[OrangePark]

I thought I knew something’s about softball but oh boy, I was wrong. What other coach in the country pulls Karlyn Pickens in that situation. Worst case she gives up one or two runs and we’re still leading leaving that ending. She didn’t have her a game, but nothing left the infield that inning on her.

Karen better be careful, pulling that tonight with Pickens is a good way to have her go into the portal. Not having trust in your All American is a disaster.

 

[OrangePark]

Just sit back and watch Karen coach, she gets out coach in the big games.

Why are we not playing small ball to create havoc or move the runs. Maybe I’m missing something, we aren’t a home run hitting team. She plays station to station and is still waiting to hit a home run.

 

[OrangePark]

Is Karen OK?

We start Dez and Katie tonight and they haven’t played all year. But she feels they are the best options. Why haven’t they played before this weekend then????

The most concerning was the batting lineup against Oregon.

Why didn’t we pinch run for Doyle in the first that was a run that we lost. Why didn’t she pinch hit with the Leach’s? They should’ve hit for Katie and Bella.

No way Katie is the best option for the 9th player?

 

[OrangePark]

How does this team look next year if we lose Pickens and Pannell? No way if we keep losing big games and aren’t playing with a chance to get to the WCWS they stay with the money they can get on the open market with NIL

How do we fill the voids of Laura, Sophia, and McKenna. we still haven’t filled the voids of Riley, Kiki and Peyton.

Our roster is going in the wrong direction. Someone please let Karen know its better for quality not quantity.

At some point, the athletic department is going to need to step up and hold accountability to the program especially since we are 2-3 against Big Ten teams to start the season.

 

[OrangePark]

Bella is playing a much better SS than she has in the past but here is the team best infield:
1B: McKenna G
2B: Bella F
SS: Laura M
3B: Taylor P

 

[OrangePark]

Please share because thats the biggest head scratcher of the season so far

 

[OrangePark]

WE HAVE SO MANY GIFLS ON THIS TEAM THAT CANT HIT ELITE PITCHING

AND KAREN CANT SEE THAT AND KEEPS HITTING THOSE PLAYERS

we have played so many bad teams so that hides the teams defects but look at the stats when we played Nebraska, Oregon and UCLA? That will tell you who can hit SEC and that’s very concerning
