RMillander 32 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 With you there. One thing about it, hitting can get better through the season. I think I saw that Carosne was now a volunteer hitting coach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU64 10,122 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Listened off and on and just wondering.....this roster was recruited by Clint to play his style of ball.....so question for those who know. With Dean taking over, is this roster good for his style of play? or were the opponents better than their name would suggest? Hitting was rather anemic in both games and not that many strike outs either during the time I was listening. Too early to draw conclusions obviously but at least a couple regular posters to softball know the game and might have some thoughts on the matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunch of hard hit balls, just at people, wind was blowing in. Martin will be interesting to watch as she may be struggling with the adjustments, but with as much as these girls play she should be fine.

BJCrawford 1,568 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Maybe it’s just shaking the rust off.bama put only one run on south Alabama and LSU put 3 on uic. On the other hand Georgia put 23 on San Diego state?....getting beat by Oregon now 7-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The girl who pitched for them (Bailey Lange) transferred in from Northern Iowa, where she was more of a hitter than a pitcher. She appeared in 25 games, had a record of 5-9, threw 83 innings with an ERA of 3.80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU64 10,122 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Saw a piece in al.com that Clint M was at the game.....lots of negative commentary followed. He declined to talk with Crapa....not surprised about that....and not surprised that he still lives in Auburn.. Just curious what the feeling here is .

slot canyon 1,333 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Looked at the players for Tennessee Tech., our next opponent. They have 3 pitchers on the roster. Waldon (Sr) with 2017 ERA 5.02, Thomas (Jr) with 2017 ERA 4.78 and Hughs (So) and listed as 1B/P and 2017 ERA 3.00. Their team record last year was 16-30. Maybe we can get the bats going and gain some confidence at the plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a lot of respect for what Coach Myers did to establish Auburn Softball. I believe many prior and current players maintain a fondness and respect for him. Even though he has every right to attend the game, I felt his presence was a distraction. I thought Coach Dean's comment was a bit of a "cold shoulder" and he wants this to be his program. Not easy to follow a legend. Also the newspaper likes this type of drama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched a little of LSU and U of Ill. Chicago last night. Hoover dominated, but LSU got their first hit on a bunt single in the 5th. Ended up scoring 3 to win 3-0.

AU64 10,122 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Thanks...I don't know how I feel about it. I understand that Clint has an interest having recruited most of the players...but odds of him attending a game without some response from fans were not good. .....but also not sure he should be blackballed either. Might have been awkward for Dean but won't be the last awkward question from some AU beat writer. I'm guessing that Clint has not commented about the team or anything that could be considered as second guessing. On the other hand, Clint delivered a great facility and a nice roster of players to Dean .....and puts him immediately in a position to compete for national ranking. If Clint keeps his mouth shut, Dean might just want to go on about his business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BJCrawford 1,568 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 If anyone watched the game, I take it we left a lot on base. 10 hits but only 3 runs. At least they were hitting today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderWhiskey 953 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 12 hits according to Gametracker. Scored 3 in the 5th. Crocker and TaySnow both went 3 for 4. None of the 4-5-6 players (Veach, Rivera, TanSnow) have a hit yet this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their ace was Top 5 in strikeouts last season and could've been higher but she missed a week with an illness. I believe she was 2nd the year before that. Only behind osorio. Always takes a few games for most offenses to get going. That's why pitching and great defense is so important in softball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clint retired, he wasn't fired and he did nothing wrong himself. As noted above, Clint lifted our program to previously un-dreamed of heights. If he wants to sit there, watch the game and sign autographs or whatever, I welcome him. He shouldn't and in all likelihood won't make any unseemly comments. Writers are always trying to stir up crap, to hell with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
