Big Fat Barner 157 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Auburn’s game against Wichita State (initially scheduled for 6pm Friday), has been moved to Wednesday at 4pm. also made this thread for discussion purposes. War eagle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
all4AU 379 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 (edited) We flew out Tuesday. I'm assuming this means the team won't get any practice time on the field other than warm-ups today. I'm glad they made the move due to weather in Puerto Vallarta. We've already lost 2 games due to weather, with another being a tie. Hopefully, the girls can get all 4 games in this week. Nebraska star, Jordy Bahl (former Oklahoma pitcher), injured her ACL on this field last week. The field doesn't look as immaculate as what we are used to in the SEC. Hopefully no injuries for anyone this week... Edited February 14 by all4AU 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fat Barner 157 Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 Wichita State had walked countless batters and the big inning ends on Dean telling Roach to steal home with the bases loaded?? Does he have a functioning brain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fat Barner 157 Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 This offense is really really bad. 7 Ks and 3 hits on the day. Fortunate that their pitchers aren’t throwing strikes (9 walks). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Fat Barner 157 Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 As it stands right now, going into the 7th: Auburn has walked 10 times, struck out 8 times. Auburn is 3-21 as a team (.142), has zero extra base hits today. Howell came in for Wichita State and struck out 5 of our batters, gave up no hits. Stephen F. Austin hit for 3 runs off 3 hits against her in just 2 innings. Little (a lot) worried about this offense. especially since we will likely see Utah’s Mariah Lopez and Clemson’s Valerie Cagle in the matter of days.

Big Fat Barner 157 Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 Well we won. But Mickey Dean’s awful coaching rears its ugly head again. Got two much bigger games in the next few days. this offense is atrocious and nobody but Penta looks to be legit in the circle. i’m hard on this team, but I was proud of them for responding after giving up the lead, but not too proud because we gave a 5-run lead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

all4AU 379 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Auburn beats #13 Utah 1-0 on a walk off walk by Makayla Packer. Great duel between Lopez and Penta. Lopez couldn't find the zone during that last at bat with Packer. 4 straight balls, none close. Huge win for our girls! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fat Barner 157 Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 Team beats Utah 1-0. Penta goes the distance (she’s incredible). My Takeaways: - Lopez is a pretty good pitcher, Auburn struck for 0 XBH, but drew 7 walks and inked 8 hits. - I thought the offense hit well (over .300 against Lopez), but holy cow it is almost impossible for them to get a base hit or even put it in play with runners in scoring position (0-8 with RISP and they stranded 10 runners). - There were some head scratchers from Dean (as usual). He didn’t sacrifice bunt three times with runners on and nobody out and the aftermath of the next few batters would’ve likely scored a run each time. Much bigger fish on Saturday as we will likely see Cagle (and Garcia, may I add) against Clemson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did Packer get a walk-off out of a walk? Thanks in advance. Edited February 15 by Mikey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. We had 1 hit and 3 walks in the inning. Packer walked on 4 straight pitches to end the game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jad0003 435 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 We struggled to get a timely hit against Utah, but I’ve liked our approach at the plate in Puerto Vallarta. The team has been more patient, resulting in more walks and a higher OBP%, but they’ll need to more aggressive when there are runners on base in order to score more runs. I’d like to see this order for the Clemson game: 1. Peralta (SS) 2. McCrary (LF) 3. Wohlers (3B) 4. Lech (1B) 5. Tresvik (RF) 6. Elkins (C) 7. Roberts / Clemmons / Smith (DP) 8. Packer (CF) 9. Roach (2B) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roach (2B) I like that lineup. It was nice to have a clean defensive game against Utah. First dry conditions we've had in quite some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI on Garcia - her current hitting stats as of now - on base - .203, slugging - .294, batting average - .176. She's playing right field. I hope she doesn't start getting in her grove until after we play them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roach (2B) If Smith and McCrary are both in the lineup, Abbey should play LF and McCrary should DP. She’s a whole lot better defensively. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wde2021 16 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I would maybe move Peralta down to see if that helps get her out of her slump. 1. Packer - CF 2. McCrary - LF 3. Peralta - SS 4. Lech - 1B 5. Wohlers - 3B 6. Tresvik - RF 7. Elkins - C 8. Roberts - DP 9. Roach - 2B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fat Barner 157 Posted February 17 Author Share Posted February 17 I agree on moving Peralta down to 3rd. 1. Smith - LF 2. Wohlers - 3B 3. Peralta - SS 4. Lech - 1B 5. Tresvik - RF 6. McCrary - DP 7. Elkins - C 8. Packer - CF 9. Roach - 2B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fat Barner 157 Posted February 18 Author Share Posted February 18 Jessie Blaine is hitting .500+, got a base hit on Cagle and just knocked a 3-run HR off of Utah’s Mariah Lopez. Would be nice to have a player like that… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only changed I’d make is move Peralta 2nd and Wohlers to 3rd to break up the lefty bats in the lineup. I’m not sure if Smith isn’t getting on base at a high enough percentage to be in the lineup or if Dean wants Roberts or Clemmons for power bats, but we need to figure out ways to manufacture more runs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
