re: Softball Super Regional Preview Against FSU

So to those who know the game well does it help us that Janquish caught their P in off season league?

Any changes for Griggs, Jaquish, Landry, Doyle, Quinn, Serret, Sanchez, and Andrews, would be minor tweaking for now. Stance, position in the batter's box, pitch selection...those kind of things are really simple.

The one needing a total overhaul is Springfield. What works in high school is too long and too slow for college.

Watching hitters make the same mistakes over and over is frustrating, and it makes it look like nothing is being done.

Griggs used to be too far off the plate, and was slapping. She moved closer and started swinging away, which has made all the difference in the world for her.

Serret was always on top of the plate, and she moved back, which helped. She does need to do something about the hitch in her swing, but so long as she is making contact before the hitch, she is ok.

Some stuff can wait. I really thought when Springfield reappeared that we'd see a different hitter, but she is the same as before.

One thing i cannot stomach is the ridiculous philosophy where you got the batter stepping forward before the ball is even pitched. Jaquish started doing that crap and the only time she hits good is when the pitch is inside and she has to lift her front foot to move it away from the plate and do a re-step, and when she does that, she crushes the ball... Why people dont see this is beyond me. It is obvious to someone who knows batting.

Lets hope this new class coming in has some power hitters in it. If Springfield and Doyle are going to be the only power hitters, we are in trouble.

What makes Oklahoma so good is every one of those girls can put the ball out..they get 5 or 6 home runs then they get in the WCWS and hit one or two more that end up being game winners.

If any of yall saw their series with Tulsa, the last inning, with Tulsa up by two, bottom of the last, the leadoff gets on, then a home run, then another home run.

It's good to be able to always have that possibility.

i hope they actually produce. I hope their batting is compatible with college level play. Some of the girls that come in as freshman are ready to go, others need work.

That Mendes girl from Oklahoma is ridiculous. She can pitch, hit, throw, field, run.. amazing. Somebody like that,, we need a Megan Gregg/ Nicole Mendes type player, a few of them.

Lets hope Ole Miss can keep on winning, i dont hate UCLA but i really want them to do well tonight. Lot of people expecting Florida to choke. I doubt it.

We have four pitchers Two of them could pitch for any team in the cointry and any team would take Smith as well. its good pitchers that win national championships.

I wonder if Gorsuch will improve to the point where she can be a second starter after Carly and Allie are gone. Sure hope so.

Oklahoma is stacked for 2 more years after this one. I hope Auburn puts them out.

Part of me also expects us to add a transfer or two

LSU-EUNICE has a few good bats. Skains and Bishop can rake.

She is this upcoming class. She's looks really good this year. She's considered a top 50 player. She throws extremely hard. Her rise ball had good movement. Needs a little work on her curve ball but Beth will probably fix these things when she gets here. I expect her to be a major contributor. Her sunseri and Smith will likely all see a bunch of time after Hoover and Walljasper leave

Made it to Tallahassee! Nice ballpark, but not big. Ready for tomorrow!!

Florida is in complete melt down. its over

3-0 Bama

I like a good upset, I am not a Murphy fan though
