It sure won’t be Simpson or Scott after the performance they put on todayThere is no way Coach White can keep Mia Scott out of the line up. She is just too good. 2 triples tonight that would have been doubles for most anyone else. I see Simpson playing a big role in the success of our season this year. It will be interesting to see if he will leave anyone at home this weekend against ranked teams.
Yeah I’m all for getting the play right but stopping that much to look at a replay just slows the game down.Good writeup
Sophia Simpson, Mia Scott impress against McNeese St. in softball’s home-opening win
Need to look up the rules on instant replay. i.e. how many times it can be asked for, etc..
Its laughable at this point.Errors once again costing us runs. Against teams like this you just can’t have that.
I’m genuinely curious what made Mike White go with O’Leary instead of Dolcini? I don’t think she’s done a bad job at all just wondering if Dolcini gets the nod for this big game and O’Leary against Auburn.
It’s like he just gave up and the way we are hitting we are about to get run ruled. We do not play well in the state of FloridaMike White punted this game as soon as he brought in Hulon. Nothing is more frustrating than watching him not actively try for a come back.
I guess Dolcini will go against Auburn. Not sure about UCLA.
With Iakopo at first base and someone else at right field besides Whitaker. She’s more of a pitch hit type of player late in the game when a pitcher is a bit fatigued because she swings at every pitch outside of the zone and nothing right down the middle. I also would like to petition for Mia Scott to be our lead off hitter. Jefferson is in a big slump right now so to take some of the pressure off it would be beneficial to have Scott in the lead off spot.My preferred players that didn't start today would have been:
1. Burke at LF
2. Dolcini at pitcher
3. Cimusz or Smith at catcher
But maybe that's what we get for the Auburn game.
I agree I was very impressed with Czech today and Simpson also did a great job in relief. I don’t think O’Leary did bad it’s just the errors that are costing us runs. O’Leary isn’t at her best and she would be great in relief at the moment but our biggest problem right now is our offense and our defensive errors that bring in runs. Our body language also looks defeated as well.Our pitchers so far in ranking:
1. Dolcini
2. Simpson
3. Czech
4. O'Leary
5. Hulon
From Fall ball, I got the feeling that O'Leary wasn't quite up to her previous standards. But I thought she would shake it off and get back into the grove. In fact, I think she's gotten worse than Fall ball.
Well whatever drills we are doing aren’t doing the job as this has been an ongoing issue for three years now but it has gotten progressively worse and what I’ve seen this season is by far the worse. Yes there is a lot of season to go but we are about to be 5-5 and 0-4 at this invitational. I guarantee over 90% of the runs scored against us are because of errors whether that be defensive errors or wild pitches. Can’t even count how many of those we’ve had this year.At this level all of these ladies are very good athletes. I'm sure no one is taking the day off during defensive drills. What I know as a former athlete is errors are more mental than anything. Does anyone really think the coaches are not drilling the ladies enough or the athletes arent trying their best? I dont see the team panicing. This is still a very good team, errors and all. Lets calm down and enjoy the season.
