AU1947

Heard something interesting while talking to some of the parents at their tailgate when we stopped by there at one of the last home series.... surprisingly several of the girls go to a Meyers for hitting lessons which could be the improvement in our hitting this season....

Probably will next year and the year after. Remember this was a contract year therefore the early bombshell and awesome record helped CMD to a 4 year contract extension.

Going to end up at Clemson regional and most likely facing Liberty...... Mizzou RPI is #18 where as Auburn is #31..... we are far from hosting and Clemson is the better draw unless you want FSU again!!! Would like to be there but not going.... I would give up the weak schedule for a few more losses to have a higher RPI and possible chance to host a regional..... just saying!!! My opinion and I know there are those that disagree....

It was a great game and Mizzou battled then took advantage of some timely ball in play situations.... 1st time in 17 years (I think) that they lost their tournament opener...... Mizzou is making a run it appears

She definitely got her team going at the right time! We have the athletes at AU and the difference just seems to be coaching like you stated..

True, however if you need that bat you also have Godwin that is C/OF with a cannon arm that is also in the batting line up, then keep Garcia in the line up as DP... but you also need to teach the fundamentals of the position they are playing also.... for example: first steps for a ball hit to you, catch the ball at the highest point, angles to the ball, etc. You watch our OF and there is not much in the way of fundamentals being used therefore one must assume they are not being taught... I also saw that our RPI has now dropped into 30's now.... guess that means we won't be hosting a regional

And I challenge you to pay attention and watch, you will be playing the young team card again, and again, as there will be girls who come in and shine then transfer out due to lack of coaching, getting worse, etc. Look at Snow at OU. Been nice to keep her.. stats are for chumps.... it is about wins and losses... CMD's contract extension was based on what.... oh we are young? Surely we didn't throw money at a 3 year excuse on a contract extension....... we lost Swindall, Perry, Dowell, Rivera & Handley.... that was 4 Seniors..... now granted we have girls out of positions as well. Garcia is not an outfielder and a junior.... and the 1 run scored was on a fly ball that any real outfielder would have caught if they knew what steps to take and how to play the outfield. Godwin has played the OF and would have been better there. Garcia belongs at 3rd... that is one example....

Yet you continue to allow the youth card to be played. This team is NO better and still a bottom dweller of the SEC as there are 13 teams and we are 10th. 1 and done in the SEC tournament. 28th in RPI which means we will NOT host a Regional. Are we really better? What will the next excuse be?

Bama will host a regional, doesn't really matter if they do well in SEC tournament... and they will be in a super.... however AU is 28th in RPI and we will be going to FSU I'm afraid..... doubt we make it to a super with only Penta... she has showed a lot of signs of fatigue lately.

Young team? We have been hearing this excuse a couple years now and yet we are still young? Schedule was easier this year than last year! 5 game SEC losing streak. Sub .500 finish in conference. Finishing 10th in the SEC... Still cannot hit and players are out of position..... Injuries have plagued the team all season.. which warrants the question if the extra weights etc are catching up to us. Not to mention our coaching staff has ZERO energy..... good thing the girls do..

If that is the case I had rather just play T-Town or Arkansas right out the gate...

I find it interesting that Mizzou who finished with Alabama just yesterday may have to play them again within 4 days. I bet they aren't to happy either...

While.playing a weaker SEC schedule than last year also.... No Bama, No LSU, No Missouri..... the 2 top 4 teams we did play swept us... Not improving.... just shuffling

Not interested in stats but more concerned with Wins and Losses!

Well we start with Missouri and winner gets Bama...... looks like it will be a short trip...

Great. Stats are for, well stats got better with playing lessor opponents and a false sense of accomplishments for when you go into conference play... coaching is the issue not talent.

Great throw by Packer just needed Lisenby to catch the ball and apply a tag... probably see Godwin behind the dish next inning....

Nope. Just looks like a wasted salary to me as she doesn't appear to do anything... don't see her doing much coaching.......

What? Our schedule this year is weaker than last... of course we will have our numbers to improve...We played a bunch of cupcakes early and those numbers you reference got inflated. And by the time all of this shakes out we will be right where we were predicted to finish towards the bottom. I believe we are currently in 9th in the standings with Ole Piss, Miss St, USC, and TX A&M behind us. Young has nothing to do with it. They are ALL seasoned veterans at this point of this season.

Well, we had runners in scoring position and can NOT hit against a quality pitcher... Same ole story different day!! Wonder what the problem was.... Does Carisone do anything other than clap, waddle, eat leftovers, and collect guards? Need a hitting coach desperately...

Lol ... Glad to see them both do well on their Senior Sunday. Be nice to luck up and host a regional so we can have a couple more home games...

Well she looked pretty and sporty today against 4, 5, 6!!! Hope Godwin and her come back for the covid year....

Maybe these 2 Seniors aren't done after all......

Lowe has some unconfirmed nerve issues in throwing arm and Yarborough has a labrum issue from what some of the parents were saying..... I pray the girls get healthy as we can make a good run!!

Looked as if CMD was itching to pull her though... I was at the game last night and noticed that on more than one occasion Penta, Lowe, & Yarborough were all in the bull pen getting loose. Very proud of KK on the outing last night.
