AUBwins 10,075 Posted April 14 Author Share Posted April 14 Shelby was magnificent this weekend. Good defense behind her as well. Packer tracked a ball down that was threatening to drop for a hit. LSU had 2nd and 3rd so that would have tied it. Auburn won 3-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlderWhiskey 954 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Widra with a 2-out, bases loaded single in top 4 to score two; then she and Elkins worked the double steal for a run. Nice effort by the Tigers. Lowe looked like the 2021 Lowe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slot canyon 1,335 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 (edited) So good to see Shelby have a good complete game in spite of some horrible non-strike calls by the umpire. Glad the error in 7th did not come back to haunt us. https://auburntigers.com/news/2024/4/14/softball-auburn-softball-secures-series-win-at-no-6-lsu.aspx Edited April 15 by slot canyon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUBwins 10,075 Posted April 21 Author Share Posted April 21 A real bummer with rain delay today. Shelby was dealing, Auburn up 2-0 bottom 4th with runner on. After delay Penta continues the game and we lose 5-2. Smh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fat Barner 137 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Half of this lineup should not be starting next year. You could make a case for Wohlers, Peralta, Widra and Lech but this program needs a transfer haul to even have a chance next year. also, since this offense is so putrid…At this point I would literally start the freshmen and other bench players. It cannot possibly get worse than having 3 hits in 14 innings against a team ranked DEAD LAST in the SEC in ERA. DEAD LAST I REPEAT. Tamborra did well during fall ball at the plate, fk it put her in. Clemmons is batting over .300, fk it put her in. Packer is batting .100 in SEC play, put Abbey Smith or Thalia Martin, FK IT. we might as well see what our bench is made of because seriously HOW. COULD. IT. GET. WORSE? there’s my reaction, god bless everyone (except Dean and Lenti) and god bless the united states of america. p.s: Cohen if you’re reading this, DON’T PROMOTE CARASONE.

slot canyon 1,335 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Feel bad for Penta; she has 9 strike outs but can't get the run support and gets the loss. Obviously, the walks ended up making the difference. The Kentucky pitcher (Langdon) was good. Credit to the freshman. Statistically, our conference offensive numbers reflect what we are seeing (and have been seeing). Last or next to last in BA, runs scored, hits, RBI. Need to mention we have played fewest games in conference due to some games cancelled. AU completed 39 games; next fewest 42 with most teams in the 44 - 47 range. Hate to admit that I look forward to the season ending but look forward to hopefully some positive changes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD1 227 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 (edited) We beat UK 4-1 tonight. Good night for Lowe and Packer. Lowe pitched a complete game and went well over her normal pitch count. Packer had 2 of our 3 hits, including a HR. Edited April 23 by TD1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jad0003 408 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Cohen must monitor these forums because he got some airtime on the broadcast tonight. We probably played ourselves out of any chance to host a regional this weekend, but it was good to see Lowe get the win tonight. If we avoid the 1.5 rain delay, we likely get the win on Saturday too. A 1-2 punch of Penta and Lowe in a regional will not be a good matchup for many teams. Hopeful we can find some offense soon to support them.

Big Fat Barner 137 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 6 hits across 3 games is embarrassing. Offense doing what they usually do. So so proud of Shelby. But having been at the game tonight, it’s so sad (and frankly embarrassing) to see the crowd so empty. There were more empty seats than people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slot canyon 1,335 Posted Saturday at 12:32 PM Share Posted Saturday at 12:32 PM Auburn defeated Ol' Miss in a 11-inning marathon yesterday. Final AU 2 OM 1. Penta had a pitch count of 172 over her 9 innings with 18 SO to go with 5 walked batters and one hit by pitch. Shelby finished the final 2 innings and did not allow a hit. Both AU runs were a result of Tresvik home runs; one in the 6th and one in the 11th. I got frustrated with the game in the 8th inning and we watched and episode of Jack Ryan. When I switched back over to SEC network I got to see the last pitch of the last strikeout by Shelby to end the game. I don't know what was going on but the dugout looked like a funeral. No energy. Appeared true for both teams. Glad we were able to get the win. Don't know how long it will take Penta to recover. As usual, we had several occasions with runners in scoring position but could not get the elusive "timely hit" we are famous for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that had something to do with the lack of "bounce" in the dugouts? Not only didn't we get the timely hit, some of our (Dean's) coaching decisions while running the bases drove me crazy. Also, a player leaving base early ruined another excellent opportunity to score. No excuse for that with a college level player. Good grief! I'll be so happy to see a coaching change! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of players are getting caught leaving early with the addition of the review to the rules. It is not limited to Auburn.

College players shouldn't leave early. They have enough experience to judge that. I don’t disagree, but I’m providing the context. Umpires rarely called it in the past, but they added it to the video review list this year. As a result, coaches request a review nearly every steal or big hit. Last night was no different. I’d bet nearly every team had a call overturned this year. Its not unique to Auburn. Edited Saturday at 03:48 PM by Jad0003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was in the home bullpen talking to people and watching the game. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
