I know but she pitches for the Gut. In most SEC games you give up two you should win

Got the lead off runner on for first time in the game and could not get her around. No Bama runner made it to second and we lose 2-0. Great job Beavers.

Unfortunately, I think the only way Alabama is going to change approach on offense is for Murphy to utterly bottom out for 2-3 years then be forced into retirement.

He does just enough to keep from losing his job. Apparently Braud is SOS at first base with the lady who retired.

Our hitting is pitiful. Wouldn't be surprised if FL swept us. Biggest need is a quality hitting coach.

If they throw the freshman who beat us today then I fear we wont win. They will probably start someone else and use her for game 3

Got bitched at 5 years ago criticizing Murph. It’s sad that everyone sees the same thing but nothing is done about it. Dude is stealing money from UA riding that 2012 Natty.

Beaver pitched a gem yesterday. And she has been excellent at fielding the ball too. Florida’s 2 runs were unearned, stemming from an errant throw from SS to 1st base. Neither team showed any prowess on offense. A strong (strong) headwind kept a couple of Bama hits in the park that might have helped. But presently it is pop up city for Bama at the plate.
quote:

A pair of unearned runs were the difference in a low-scoring pitcher's duel Saturday afternoon at Rhoads Stadium, as Alabama dropped its conference opener to Florida, 2-0.

Alabama (19-2, 0-1 SEC) fell behind after a two-run single in the top of the second plated a pair of unearned runs for Florida (20-3, 1-0 SEC). With the score still 2-0 in the bottom of the seventh, a leadoff walk brought the potential tying run to the plate. After a flyout, a ball up the middle was batted down and corralled for a forceout at second before a fly ball ended the game.

Lauren Johnson posted the lone hit for the Crimson Tide's offense, improving her team-leading reached base streak to 13 games. Kayla Beaver (7-1) took the complete-game loss in the circle, striking out eight and holding the Gators to three hits with both runs going as unearned.

From Head Coach Patrick Murphy
"Today, the wind was like a steel curtain. Jenna [Johnson] might have had a home run, as well as Bailey [Dowling] and Abby [Duchscherer]. Jenna also smoked one right at the shortstop. We just hit right at them today. Florida's pitcher made the big pitches today too, especially in the seventh inning. We had a walk and then they made a great play up the middle for the forceout, but we had the tying run at the plate and that's always the goal when trailing at the end of the game. Put some pressure on the opponent and let the home crowd help us out. [Kayla] Beaver pitched great. They did their damage in one inning with two unearned runs and got the hits when they needed them."

in our last two losses. USA beat us 2-0 and we got 2 hits. UF beat us 2-0 and we got one hit. Let's hope UF does not throw their freshman again today. Right now Lauren Johnson, a freshmen seems to be the leader in the clubhouse with her BA.

Uf is hitting us hard along with some boneheaded plays and we are down 8-2 top of 5. Salter in for whoever was pitching. I think it is was Briski but I have been doing husbandly chores.

Skylar Wallace, former Bama SB player, is killing us. We down 11-2 and will be run ruled if we dont score 2 runs, but UF is still batting with 2 outs.

6 errors in the game and pitching not good. Wasnt Murph the one who bragged that we win with great pitching and great D. If they dont score they cant win.
