Again, on a batter count. She went through the lineup twice, like she did yesterday, plus two batters.Please explain throwing the complete game, inquiring minds want to know
If Pickens was on a pitch count or batter count yesterday she should have not picked at all today. That was 3 consecutive days of work. I would not have pitched her any against UCLA. I would let their batters see her. It was not a game they had to win. If it was you go with your best. You start Pickens against UCLA you let her finish it. Not sure why she pitched today. If we could not beat Minnesota with our #2 or 3 pitcher then we didn’t deserve to win anyway. I watch and support Lady Vols softball. Have for a long but have never been a fan of the Weekly's coaching. Me personally I think it’s time for a change but that's just my opinion and it doesn't mean very much.Again, on a batter count.

If you've watched this program for any length of time, surely you've noticed that the staff rarely lets a pitcher go through the order more than twice when throwing on consecutive days.
I imagine since she hit that mark with one out in the top of the 5th (at 63 pitches, if my math is correct), they let her finish the inning. The radio broadcast noted that there was action in the Tennessee bullpen during the bottom of the 5th, so she would have been done if the game had continued.
who do u think we should target? would love your opinion.If Pickens was on a pitch count or batter count yesterday she should have not picked at all today. That was 3 consecutive days of work.
