Maresette is hitting .292 in SEC play, third best on the team. Better than Veach, McCrackin (.213) or Taylon Snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The girls look like they have no confidence at the plate. They are watching too many strikes. When they do swing at a pitch, the swings just look awkward. Nobody is doing much but the bottom of the order needs to sit for a while and give others an opportunity. I would tell them to get aggressive and swing early in the count. Agree in general....but they were facing one of the better pitchers in the nation which is some excuse for the stats ...but there no excuse for the tentative approach being taken when batting. Furthermore, those downright awful bunt efforts in an attempt to get a hit? I'm all for getting on base any way you can...but that was pathetic. .

I'm starting to think the entire coaching staff is out of its league, in over its head, whatever. It didn't take Florida's All-everything pitcher to shut us out. The Kentucky pitcher, who had been ordinary at best up until then, shut us out twice. I hate this for the seniors in particular. They came here expecting to be a part of great things and instead they've had a front-row seat to one of the fastest crash and burn scenes in college sports. It's a sad way to end your college playing career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did well with that program but was fortunate to have a dominant pitcher plus a heck of a hitter too....and guess he impressed AU folks when they beat us. Two years might be too soon to make a decision but the program is in trouble..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hspoprn 199 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 The only thing worse than the umpires in this game was the play of our team. We have lost the "it" factor, and seem to be spiraling toward less than mediocre. Yet, some players are still hamming it up in front of the camera every time the opportunity presents itself. 18 hours ago, around4ever said: I don't understand the love for Maresette. I don't either.

It's a sad way to end your college playing career. to be shut out in softball in 3 out of the last 4 games, including a no hitter at home, tells me they are mentally now in a serious tailspin. It's up to the coaches to find a way to get these ladies over it. I'm concerned this coaching staff is just not a good fit to keep this proud program at the level Meyers brought them to. I understand losing our top pitcher is devastating to a softball team that relies so much on their Ace, but our hitting last year and now towards the end of this year is atrocious.

wildling 35 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I'm not a Maresette fan, but Fornis has been worse, you need a lot more than 3 HRs (or more specifically a .421 SLG%) to make up for a .274 OBP over 76 ABs. And average is a terrible stat @OlderWhiskey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
