AU64 10,122 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 As Mikey noted at the bottom of comments on game #1, the first game set a number of dubious distinction records for LOB, walks and probably other things that nobody has taken the time to calculate. I watched part of a couple other games...Bama-Oky and UGA and Michigan and it looked like they were playing a different sport. As a friend noted later in the day..."do you believe we spent 4 hours watching that game"? JMO but the AU-ULL game set college softball back about 20 years. But complaints aside, I will take a win anytime...no matter how it looked. SO....how will the two teams respond to all of that today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarTiger 3,901 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 We are about an hour away from first pitch. I don't buy into that notion that yesterdays game set the game back 20 years. Softball games go that way sometimes. 17 (of whatever the final total was) walks was an anomaly certainly not an everyday thing. Both of these teams have been scoring a bunch of runs all season. I don't care one bit how we get more runs than them as long as we do get more runs than them. Crazy things happen in these games some times. I'm ready for game 2 and let's finish this thing and sweep them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aujeff11 6,243 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 The pitch count exceeding 200 for the other team's pitcher is definitely no good for the sport. I don't care how much softball is different from baseball. It became increasingly clear that the pitcher was worn down and her arm hanging a bit.

FUZZYAUFAN 134 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 So I guess Harper pitching a complete game and giving up just one run against BAMA in the SEC tournament also set college softball back 20 years. What a ridiculous statement. I am with WAR TIGER, as long as Auburn scores more runs than the other team I don't care how the runs are scored.

AU64 10,122 Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 So I guess Harper pitching a complete game and giving up just one run against BAMA in the SEC tournament also set college softball back 20 years. What a ridiculous statement. I am with WAR TIGER, as long as Auburn scores more runs than the other team I don't care how the runs are scored. I'm talking about quality of play...as seen by people who don't follow the game.....dropped fly balls, pitchers who could not find the plate, a pitcher throwing until she could barely get the ball to the plate, much less over it, .....etc. THIS GAME was awful...I've watched most game this year and play has been excellent....the Bama game mentioned above was an example of good play by both sides....hitters having a bad day but fielding and pitching....the game fundamentals were quite good. I'm happy with the win...just was saying...and still believe that anyone who stumbled onto that game because it was a big AU game is probably wondering what the excitement is all about. Just opinions here but win or lose...that was the worst display by both teams that I've ever seen. I know that both teams are capable of much more....and hope to see it on display today.

WarTiger 3,901 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 never a fan of starting game threads so long before the actual game starts. Leaves too many posts to scroll through before the game actually starts. Here's the lineup for Auburn today: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarTiger 3,901 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Also. I think its criminal that Auburn isn't the home team in all 3 games. They EARNED it by being a national top 8 seed to play at home. It should be no different than any other 3 game series earlier in the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
