This team isn't #5 in the country but if you look at their resume we played an insane schedule and won a bunch of those games. With Montana they have a shot to get to OKC. Without her I really doubt they make it out of Tuscaloosa.

Next year...........yikes.

Alabama softball earned the No. 5 national seed in the NCAA Tournament, putting it in a position to host the regional and, potentially, super regional rounds.

With a record of 40-18 and an RPI of 12, there are plenty of questions why the Crimson Tide was able to earn such a high seed. But a look into other metrics provides the full resume. By RPI, Alabama had six wins vs. top-10 teams and nine top-25 wins. Against other regional hosts, Alabama picked up eight wins and, in all, beat 13 teams in the tournament.

NCAA softball committee chairperson Kelly Gatwood told Sunday night's ESPN broadcast that Alabama's full resume was why it got seeded so high, and that injury questions surrounding ace Montana Fouts didn't come into consideration.

"Those aren't really factors that the committee focuses on. We keep our focus on the team sheet, what a team has done throughout the season, their resume and the results on the field. That's what we keep our focus on. We don't always know the information about injuries and so we try and keep our focus on the teams."

Luckily for Alabama, the committee put more weight into the parts of its resume that were the best. When asked if the committee put more weight into top-10 and top-25 wins, along with head-to-head wins, the chair responded with, "Yes, absolutely."

I wonder if CodeName has any info on Fouts. She's supposedly seeing an orthopedist today.

I'd be surprised of Montana is able to go this weekend.

Maybe some of those transfers weren’t really missed I hated to lose Lexi and didn’t seem to care about the rest . Goodnight was hitting .290 something with 1hr and few RBI’s ….

Not always the case but I'd say MOST of the time the player is better off trying to see their current situation through. There are exceptions, but having to stay and work and fight to earn more playing time to me is something that has great value.

The National Fastpitch Coaches Association announced its 2023 All-Region teams Thursday, with Alabama taking home four NFCA All-South Region accolades.

Montana Fouts was named to the All-South Region First Team, with Ally Shipman and Ashley Prange earning Second Team honors and Kenleigh Cahalan on the Third Team. The All-South Region honor is the fourth of Fouts' career, all of which have been First Team accolades. Shipman and Prange both took home All-South Region honors last year in their first season with the Crimson Tide, while this is the first career accolade for Cahalan, an early-enrollee freshman this season.

Alabama has placed at least two on the annual list every year since the program's inaugural 1997 season and has earned a total of 118 awards over that time.

Did Esman live up to standards? I was hoping she would have been a quality number 2 starter and a fill in at first base.
