My point is, I think everyone agrees with you . Most want a new voice/HC or at the very least , a top notch hitting coach. But maybe where we differ a bit is I am not ready to write the season off after the second weekend of the season in which we are undefeated

Yes we will struggle offensively against good competition but didn’t we already know that ? For whatever reason , Murph likes manufacturing runs/style of play

ETA- I am still going to games , watching on tv and getting mad like most years

Alabama softball capped an undefeated weekend at the Easton Bama Bash with a 2-0 shutout win over Southern Indiana Sunday afternoon at Rhoads Stadium.

Alabama (10-0) scored both of its runs in the first inning before the Crimson Tide and Southern Indiana (1-4) battled in a pitchers' duel the rest of the way. Alea Johnson (1-0) entered to pitch with two outs in the first inning after an injury to starter Lauren Esman and threw 5.1 shutout innings to earn the win, tying her previous career high with six strikeouts. Kayla Beaver secured the final three outs of the game, grabbing her second save of the weekend.

From Head Coach Patrick Murphy
"We always say if our pitching and our defense are constant, we're doing great. Also, if you face a team that never scores, you'll never lose. Today was a prime example of that. We scored in the first inning and that was it. Their pitcher threw a great game and Alea [Johnson] pitched great for us when she didn't think she was going to have to come in so early. [Kayla] Beaver eventually came in and shut the door for us."
