I hope we can get 2-3 runs early in the game. Curious to see if the hitting will be contagious with a few early runs. We don't score until after the 5th. I imagine a light crowd with rain and Aday going on.  

[Hspoprn 199]

I like the batting order. Maybe we can score some runs today.

I don't agree with taking Draper out of the leadoff.

Reality is, the player at the top of the order is only guaranteed to lead off an inning ONE time in a game.  Putting her in the 9 spot may take a little pressure off of her to have to make something happen.   I'm ok with this and I'm thrilled with it if it helps us score some runs.

Started yet?  ESPN2 still has bama-florida....gators pounding Osorio today....up 6-1

[AUBwins 10,064]

I like Draper leading off when she gets on base. She is below .200 OBP since SEC play started. Taylon is a good replacement at the top to get on base for Casey, Shea, and Rivera. Draper can flip lineup back over

[around4ever 4,139]

I would be thrilled with anybody being in the leadoff if it helps to score runs.

Rain delay.

I'm still irritated they moved the start time of this game to begin with.  They should have left this game at a 5PM start.  Now, we have to keep up with softball and football and both are on campus.  I realize it was moved to accommodate tv but still don't like it.

basehit by tennessee, announcers are saying a run scores, but she was out of the box and called out immediately but the home plate umpire. The out at 2nd that was called didn't technically happen because play was already dead and over.
