Lose 3-0. What a waste.

If I was the pitcher, I would be cussing people out left and right in the clubhouse. 18 Ks and not one run of run support.

Hate to say it but this team will be in a battle to even win a regional

It's all on Murphy. I think he knows. He was thrown out for arguing calls at the plate.

I've lost count of how many times we've been shutout this season...

I've lost count of how many games would be shut outs for us if Osorio or Littlejohn didn't have to pitch near perfect games for us to even have a SHOT at winning.


This should have been a shut out victory for Alexis.





With that ump I'm surprised the whole coaching staff wasn't ejected eventually.

Murphy's gotten lazy. Really good hitters don't grow on trees, and he ain't putting in the work to get them. It'll be interesting to see if he gets the wake up call and gets off his arse, or just sits back and draws that fat paycheck while it lasts...it's called character.

It's been a while since we've had a softball team this bad.

This is on Murphy. Auburn has surpassed us.

Yup, I agree. Seems like he might have gotten too comfortable

we don't have that dominant pitcher and our bigs with homerun power have poor batting average. We need a stud power pitcher coming in if we are going to be an elite team next year

Eh another pitcher wouldn't hurt, but that's not our weakness. We don't have bats.

Hopefully Turner will be back for the SEC tournament. Overall BA has dropped over a hundred since she's been out. One player shouldn't mean that much to a team. Nobody was there to stand up and take up the slack, and that's on Murphy. If we get swept we're probably out of the running to host a regional. If we're not already.

We are to the point as a program that we shouldn't have to rely on one pitcher or one hitter. This team was the first SEC team to win a Natty. We should be stacked. Murphy has gotten complacent as hell. Byrne needs to have a little talk with him. It starts with "what have you done for us lately."

I'm so tired of the same old offense under Murphy. He needs to adapt quick.

No doubt. It's a shame that a once prominent program is being surpassed because a HC refuses to adapt offensively.

This is such a joke of a season.

I noticed how he changed the lineup tonight. It's like he just throws shite against the wall and hopes it sticks. There definitely needs to be some changes made but I have no idea what he's doing sometimes. Besides Myers, who do you look at for a softball coach? I would imagine it would be best to poach from the west coast like the barn.

Are you serious? Littlejohn has a 1.09 era and a 14-7 record. The pitching is there...the hitting is pathetic and it's solely on Murphy.
