I won’t be shocked to see a whole new staff behind Kavan next season. Mac and Simpson are gone. Cit will be bumped to 3-4 via the portal and Salmon will have to find a way to stay on the team as well.
No doubt it was absolutely intentional. It was a smart play, but it didn’t have to be that type of collision. She just needed to bump her to get the call.
Oh, there is plenty to roast Torina for, but this ain’t it. Every coach in America coaches their players to initiate that contact and try and draw an obstruction call. It is the 1B’s responsibility to get out of the baseline. Now the laughing and giggling with the coach after the fact was pure bush league.
My main problem with Torina is that she has a habit of playing favorites and fosters the “mean girl” mentality on her teams. Then when the victims try and leave, she stops at nothing to run them down to other coaches. In the days before the portal, she would block all the schools in a players home state when they would try and leave. My dealings with her go back to her FIU days and she is not a good person.
Bennett needs to sit a few games. Stewie needs to find her swing, Goode is not good at SS, Mia is a badass, Mitchell is a hardass and Reese Atwood is a grown ass woman.
This is a big series for many reasons. For the Horns, it is about toughness and bouncing back after the shit show last weekend. Getting some consistency out of the bats and acting like we know how to run around the bases. For Torina and her Tigers, this weekend is about showing you belong in the conversation for one of the top teams in the conference. They have not played well of late, and need to find some success as the season winds down.
OU's offense is not good. Some of the luster is beginning to wear off Patty's golden boy hitting coach....although I am finding it hard to sling much mud after our team's performance last weekend.
Agree on not changing our approach. Thought that Mike and Singleton should’ve went to the short game and put more pressure on their D. Slappers should have been bunting and middle of the order needed to shorten up and put the ball in play.
Well, who am I to argue with fact when your eyes are the real measure.
The eyeball test is what got guys like Anthony Richardson and Ryan Leaf drafted early.
I believe that you play to win. You can’t win all theee if you don’t win the first one. It was a coward move and can’t help but hurt the confidence of her team when the HC basically says “we can’t beat this kid”.
We just witnessed one of the dumbest game plans Karen Weekly has ever rolled out….and that is saying something. She was trying to sneak a win and show everyone how smart she was. Now Texas has game 1 in hand, and we seen every pitcher on the roster. They are in must win mode for Saturday, and Mike White can throw Mac and Cit without any pressure.
Tell me you haven’t watched Mike White coach base running without telling me.
Mike has a history of bad base running teams. He is always overly aggressive on the basepaths
Florida is in a free fall. Jackass Tim Walton should have broke the bank to keep Jen Rocha on staff. She could relate to the players, where he is a zero personality narcissistic asshole.
FSU coach Lonnie Alameda has been diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. I suspect this team may rally around her as the season goes on. Not sure what is going on with the Gators, but they have not performed up to expectations this year. Even with Rothrock back, they have struggled in games they shouldn't.
The B1G conference is notoriously shitty. Michigan and Northwestern have been the exceptions the last few years, but they are both shitty this year also. Ohio State is decent and Nebraska has Jordy Bahl so that gives them a chance in any game. The title should come down to Oregon and UCLA, but I don't think either of those teams can win a 3 game series against the top 4 teams in the SEC.
Doesn’t change the fact that this is still one of the top 3 staffs in the country. Cit is not an ace, so of course it looks different than TK….that doesn’t mean she hasn’t been effective when used in the correct spots
We have several pitchers with an ERA under 2. It will be TK and some mixture of the others in games. 99% of the teams in the country would swap staffs with us right now.
