Beth said that one of this teams strengths would be it’s defense.

Since opening day, this team has been anything but a defensive strength. Outfielders look like they don’t have any coaching as they take banana routes to the ball, not taking an open drop step when the ball is hit towards them and taking a more direct route to the ball. Also, Our 3rd baseman is playing out of position and it shows.

Banana ball?

Banana routes. Like when the ball is hit towards the outfielder, they take what looks like a banana (curved) routes to the ball. In baseball and softball, the proper first step is crucial in an outfielders approach to a line drive ball hit to either side of them or over their head. It can mean catching the ball vs missing it by a foot. It comes with good coaching and you can tell our outfielders don’t’ get it.

Lorenz sure has been disappointing.

Yes Franklin misjudged the ball that Bahl hit but Hodge isnt playing out of position.
The field quality is absolutely horrible though. No reason that a tournament with this many higher profile teams should be played on fields this bad.

It looks like it is windy, and when the wind blow the infield looks like they are playing in a dust storm.

Yeah I don’t want much softball but damn this is bad

The line drive to the right fielder that was to her right may have been able to be caught with the proper first step and direction to the ball. I played for a coach who coached under Ron Polk at Ms. State and was a very good fundamentals coach. We had about 17 outfield drills we would do during our defensive day. Some of them are basic and you would expect to see at LSU’s level.

That seems to be a given when the pitchers keep the other team from hitting the ball.

It might be windy but Im more referring to the infield looking like it was last dragged a day ago, the warning track and foul territory being more sand than dirt, and the outfield wall being chain link fencing.

nebraska is a top 3 team in the country.

I hate making conclusions early in the season, but there has been very little impressive about this team through seven games.
I’m worried this might be the worst pitching staff Beth has ever had. Could be a long season.

I live here. Today is not windy at all.
Posted on 2/12/26 at 11:09 am to tigerzballzdeep
Jeeez bases load with no outs and couldn’t get anything.
Posted on 2/12/26 at 11:39 am to tigerzballzdeep
I only mentioned it possibly being windy bc the other poster mentioned it. My comment was more about the field conditions playing a role in being able to play balls off the wall.
