our lack of hitting is catching up to us. We had 2-3 hits all last night and scored 2. Scoring 4 to win this would be a huge undertaking

I have watched precious little softball this year so my opinions are based on a small sample size.

1. I see less base running speed than we have had in the past. (This could be due to not many base runners in the little I watched)

2. Too many liabilities at the plate to produce runs consistently

3. The 1st baseman requires a near perfect throw to the base. She can get to a poorly thrown ball but she is not going to remain in contact with the base...no flexibility.

And this game has alot of defensive misplays that may not show up as a error...but still poor play.

I am not on the Murphy is on the hot seat bandwagon...its easy to see these things but difficult to produce immediate improvement.

5-0 now....not looking good.
