Why do you even post on this thread. Besides being an idiot, you don 't know a f/n thing about fast pitch softball.

I'm tired of people getting so defensive when anyone offers any fair criticism of Murph.

C'mon bro...how is that being defensive?

Just speaking facts!

Me and you just discussed that something needs to change. I'm not denying that bro.

LATIDER...I see you just started your monthly. You got me worried because you've been on too many times in this month shoot you might need to get checked to make sure all is well.

You show up when things are in disarray but NEVER when things are going good. (Nothing New Here)

KB wasn't going to reach her full potential here and it wasn't because of Murphy. (Ask Your Connect)

That's why I posted what I posted..

Doug...

Go to sleep

So Sides, who just hit .393 with 13 bombs AND was named the SEC Player of the Year wouldn't have been able to lead us in hitting?? I was about to rip you for such a stupid statement but you may be right because she would have still been getting hitting instruction from Murphy. In fact, here are our top 4 hitters from this season:

Shipman .357 Transfer from Tennessee
Prange .340 Transfer from Ohio St.
Goodnight .306 True Freshman
Bloodworth.301 True Freshman

The common denominator is ALL were in their first year under Murphy so he hasn't had time to completely frick up their hitting ability.

Stupid statement? Cool

KB wasn't FOCUSED here and that's what ultimately held her back.

That's why I said what I said but hey that's just an opinion doesn't mean it's right.

KB didn't go to Arkansas and all of a sudden become good hitter though! She was good here so stop trying act like she was some type of TERRIBLE hitter here.

Her change of scenery most definitely helped her.

Btw...

Why wasn't anyone speaking about KB when things were going good? That's all I want to know!



Now hitting is an issue and I used Tow as an example the other day. Yes, something has to be done because they aren't applying Murphy's terminology/techniques or they aren't understanding his terminology when they are batting because Tow never really blossomed.

I said I was done with this then you have to go and say something like this. First of all I'm not even sure this makes sense but I'll try to address it. Murph's terminology? What does that even mean?

As for his techniques, what little techniques he has, they're applying them just fine. They just don't freaking work anymore. His one and only "technique" is small ball/slap hitting.

That's not the game anymore. You can't win championships doing that. The rule change eliminating batters being out of the box at contact killed slap hitting dead.

Murph's philosophy has always been to ride a stud pitcher to 0-1 runs allowed while scraping 2-3 runs with small ball. But now everyone has at least one stud pitcher and everyone else is teaching their teams to hit for power and light up the scoreboard.

The game has passed him by and the only way he can catch back up is to adapt. I've never said I think he should be fired but he's got to change the way he's doing things. Problem is I've seen no evidence he's even interested in trying.

The days of 1-0 and 2-1 softball games are way behind us. You need at least 3 runs to win a game nowadays

Okay but...

Our offense carried us earlier this season. We had one of the best offenses starting out and everybody was excited about it. We had players throughout the lineup that could beat you...do you all remember that?

There was no talk about hitting then...

So in all honesty whatever Murphy did early on or over the off-season actually worked prior to this season because we were pretty good offensively earlier this season. (He Adapted Somehow?)

I still feel like we should improve this area by hiring somebody who is a hitting coach but it's hard to explain how we were so GOOD then just TERRIBLE later in the season.

This really feels more like our Men's Basketball Team though! (Bad Chemistry & Not Enough Leaders) when things got shaky.

OOC opponents don't know everything about you. Conference opponents do. It's not that complicated. Once you start facing opponents that are familiar with you it becomes a back and forth game of adjustments. It becomes even more difficult when the players don't have a real coach helping them make those adjustments and pretty much have to do it on their own.

he gave a very informed and intelligent answer. You are too deeply tied to the team or to someone on the team DA

You’re a total jackass tool. He gave a great answer. I’ve mentioned that earlier in the thread as well. OOC made a huge difference this year. Murphy once again didn’t adjust once conference play began. He ran up the wins against teams who had no idea about us.

Get out of here with your BS.

Why would a Guy/Girl (yet to be determined) like yourself that played a little league T-ball back in the day, continue to post across many threads and topics?
