Coach Beth and the lady Tigers softball team.

I'm sure we'll have a full squad. Did something salient happen that would lead to more than normal attrition? Granted, we've got an excellent pipeline but a few of the ladies will be very difficult to replace (i.e., Jaquish, Landry, Walljasper...)

So what's wrong with Beth?

Happens at every school every year. Just a bunch of people of this forum who like to stir the pot and make it worse than it seems. Lots of drama on this site.

Transfer Article

Maybe old news but here you go.

This happens everywhere where there may be some unhappy athletes. I do think people are blowing things way out of proportion and are pot stirrers. In the end, it causes way too much drama.

Mulerider is right. Numbers don't lie. The problem is Beth . She can't properly evaluate talent other than pitchers. Beth HATES native Louisiana players. Here is a prime example. A quote from rolltide.com "Hemphill, a native of Lafayette, La., has started 45 of the team's 46 games this seaso...

But this is what you said a few days ago...

So which one is it? You can't have it both ways...

Hemphill went to an Alabama camp in 8th grade and NEVER changed from her Bama commitment after that. Don't blame Beth for that one.

We know Sydney Smith is transferring, and my guess.. just a guess.. is that she is going to Baylor. Radoni is there, and will be their pitcher next year.

Anyone who has watched Sydney Smith knows this...she is probably one of the most accurate pitchers in the country. She has a great, great attitude. Beth has TWO All American caliber pitchers coming back next year, and the chances of Sydney becoming number two are very slim.

No one will be surprised if Sydney Smith becomes an All American by the time she graduates. She has it all. Radoni will have to take a back seat to Smith, if she does indeed transfer to Baylor (again, which is a guess).

I would hope that everyone understands there is no need to villianize an athlete that transfers. It is how the system works.

We haven't seen Cunningham, and though we have seen Satchell, just a little bit, we have no way of knowing what is going on. If Satchell goes, then I hope she does well at her next school.

Beth will have to decide who she is going to start at second base and catcher, as well as right field.

The rest of it is pretty easy.

People unwittingly back themselves into a corner when they try to have it both ways. If Beth is a horrible judge of position talent, then she must be a great coach, two third place finishes, and a fifth place. Or, is she just a mediocre coach with players that go out and win games despite her horrible coaching?

Which is it? Cant be both.

Seems to me she has gotten the most out of each team she has coached. I dont buy that garbage about her not playing girls from Louisiana. What are you going to say if she puts Thornhill out in right field next year? Thornhill is probably better defensively in the outfield than anybody else on the team. She's no klutz, and if she gets her batting straightened out, I'd say she deserves a chance to start.

I do hope that they can come up with a lineup where Dawson can start, if she stays.

In the meantime.. I was thinking about retiring jerseys. I dont know anything about it...who has had their jersey retired in softball for LSU?

I'd retire Bianka Bell's, Jaquish, and Landry's. I'd make Quinn the grad assistant for next year.

Walljasper will be back. She was a junior this year

Why start ANOTHER thread. You knew exactly where this thread would go. I'm tired of hearing about someone that has a grudge because either they think or their parents think they should have had more playing time. If the coaching staff can find out the root of all this negative crap on here, and it is a current player. She needs to kick that player or players off of the team. People like that are a cancer to a team
