Yes. Quinn committed 20 errors last year. That sucked. Does that mean she is going to commit 20 this year too?

Quinn also made a lot of great plays and her instincts on the bases are outstanding. If she doesn't catch the line drive in the 7th inning of game 3 of the super regional at JMU, there is no WCWS. She turned a single into a double with 2 out in the 7th inning of game 3 vs Washington, then scored on a single to tie the game. Without her heads up baserunning, there is no Walljasper game winning homer in the 9th. She makes plays....and they aren't all bad.

There is more to the game than hitting and running and fielding. Quinn is a leader on the infield. She helps coordinate the positioning of the other infielders and signals and stuff.

I tried to point this out politely in the thread Sunday but it fell on deaf ears. Dawson will play soon enough...she just has had some things to learn about the college game and the LSU way. This isnt something i made up... this is from a reliable person on the inside. Trust the coaches that are every practice. They are bringing her along. She isn't in the doghouse. The coaches aren't idiots. Give it time. Coaches like to win. Be patient.

This. She won the last Washington game almost by herself and was simply great for us in the postseason

What is this college game and "LSU way" of playing softball that great players cannot adapt to but allows some players to be a leader on the field while significantly underachieving in every measurable category? That's a real question, please explain. I'm always open to learning new things.

How are yall even still debating about this? Every game thread is like talking to a couple little kids throwing a hissyfit because they didn't get to eat cookies for lunch.

Congrats to Carley on the no hitter.

I'd rather have a player who can help us get on get runs and prevent runs by hitting, running, and fielding over someone who is can "help coordinate the positioning of the other infielders and signals and stuff." Thanks though. I'm sure other players can help coordinate the positioning of other fielders, give signals and "stuff" if given the chance.

Wtf does this even mean? Is the LSU Way different than the Arizona, Florida, FSU, OU, etc way? I'm sure those other programs "ways" are hitting, fielding, running, scoring, pitching, and winning games by scoring more runs than the opposing team over the course of 7 innings.

Seriously, I'm all ears. Typical coach speak. I'm willing to bet your source is an actual coach on the team or in fact the HC herself. Your coach source is spewing you the classic "learn to play the game" "LSU way" BS.

Please tell us what the "LSU way" is.
