swimmama 45 Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Where’s Emily?? She’s not at this game as well as the last game. Dean has called her out several times this season. How unprofessional for a head coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swimmama 45 Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 He was very angry with her one game for sending a runner. He should speak to her in dugout not in front of fans and our players. He did this last year several times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saminbama 740 Posted April 24, 2021 Author Share Posted April 24, 2021 I would guess about 25% of the pitches Shelby has thrown that were called balls were strikes. This umpire's zone is horrible. Shelby pitches her heart out and gets 0 support. That's a tough one to lose. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She had to throw more pitches than she need to because of his horrible zone. That’s too easy an excuse. We’ve seen 3 different umpires in the last 3 games and have scored 1 run total. we had runners on 2nd 3 different times at least with less than 2 outs and couldn’t score. All 3 times we got that runner to 3rd w 2 outs and couldn’t manufacture a run. we are just not hitting well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've already stated she got no support, but she may have been able to go a couple of innings more if her pitch count wasn't unnecessarily high. Our hitting has been non-existent the entire year. There's nothing new about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing new about that. Well I seem to remember the Florida game last year where Yarborough threw 180+ pitches not counting warm ups according to the starts and game recap... Lowe only threw 107+... big girl ball here and Florida is MUCH better than Ole Miss Edited April 24, 2021 by AU1947 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakem 296 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 The problem is not the umps or how many pitches were thrown. The problem is our lack of quality hitting. Our approaches are awful and nothing is fixed. Coaching has known this has been a problem for years yet hasn’t fixed it. Time to make a change somewhere. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think she will be in Spain with them prepping in May. Graduate assistant Krista Clyde Harrell is coaching first. She is an AU softball alum and married to KT Harrell. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One run in three games is pretty much as bad as the hitting can get. Upperclassmen are hitting worse this year than last. It's discouraging. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slot canyon 1,328 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Agree with saminbama. Feel sorry for Shelby. Gets credited with a loss because of lack of offense. She deserves better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
