Hoping these ladies can put it together and win at least 2 out of 3 of these last two remaining series.
Will be disappointed if we don’t sweep Missouri. Should be a lock for regional host if that happens.

I wouldn’t bet on Wrightsell being one. If he wasn’t ever before for us I don’t think an achilles tear is going to make him better at that.
We never needed him to. He ran point full time at CSUF

Wish we could just get Jaron Pierre and Onyensov and ride it out. That way if Philon comes back we have that spot open.
Pierre committed to SMU. Onyenso is not a need with two centers already on the roster.

Girls are competing hard this series. I’m honestly shocked at how good the pitching has been other than the 1 inning against this OK offense. Hope we can find a way to win this one.
Incredible pitching all weekend. So proud of them, stepped up when we needed them most

Supposedly is hiring an agent and is not maintaining his eligibility (aka he gone)
You can hire an agent and still maintain eligibility. That is not the case here tho.

True and we will need a Montana Fouts type pitcher to get over the hump. Most great teams have someone like that. We have 2 that are very good but not up to her standards.
Should have a nice returning core. IMO the three biggest needs are
1) #1 pitcher
Briski is good but she’s probably better as a 2nd option. Need one of the freshmen or a transfer to step up as the ace.
2) C transfer
I’m sure Giles and Valentine are nice girls but they need to be recruited over. We’ve had a hole there since Shipman left.
3) IF transfer
Always need more HR threats
Out of eligibility
Ellestad, Heivilin, Clark, Winstead, Riley
Can Return
P: Briski, Hodges, Johnson
IF/C: Pupillo, Duchscherer, Giles, Hawkins, Hubbard, Marceaux
OF: Vandagriff, Preuitt, White, LoJo
Adding
Vic Moten and Kaitlyn Pallozi (P)
Holly Beth Brooks (C)
Gerritt Griggs (UTL/IF)
Ana Roman (OF)
Ambrey Taylor (IF)

Here is hoping Murph retires but here is why he wont be fired.
The former players love him. The crowds are some of the best in the country. The media loves him. He is respected by the other coaches for what he has done at Bama for close to 30 years. The rest of college SB has caught up to him just like FB caught up to The bear in the early 80's and NS recently.
Greg B would be the laughing stock of the softball world and the media if he made a change.
There’s going to be some very upset Alabama fans when Murphy has a top 5 team next year. This team is very close to putting it together.

Used to be realistic to expect Bama softball to beat anyone they stepped on the field with. Especially in Rhoads. But I'm glad you're happy.
It was never realistic to expect to beat Oklahoma. Let’s not lie.

And there it is. The reason Murph needs to be fired. Our once great program has fallen to the point where fans are satisfied winning one game of a series in our own house.
Are you kidding? We’re playing the 4 time reigning national champions. Be realistic. Alabama won, be happy, not miserable.

6-1 as the home team won bigly.
Nice bounce back for Briski.
Alabama got the 1 win they needed, tomorrow is just extra.

I'm sure the guy Lacy killed before fleeing the scene had grandchildren who loved him as well.
Not sure what pulling a whataboutism accomplishes. Both families are victims here.

Maybe Winstead (but it’s just a guess). If not her, then Alea? I think it’s too soon for Riley and too big for Braya. Would he throw Briski back into the fire as a starter today after yesterday?
No chance with Winstead. She has proven she’s not an SEC caliber pitcher.
Alea has been primarily used in a secondary role.
It’ll likely be Briski or Riley. Outside shot for Hodges.

Great pitching but Briski comes in and holds them in the sixth but gives up a 2 run HR in the 7th. Same song and different verse Murph. She has given up the lead in most games vs SEC teams when she comes from the BP. She was pitching behind to most batters.
Riley and Johnson have imploded late in games too. There’s just no right answer

This HR in T7 down 0-1 broke them. Was a pitching duel to this point. Then floodgates opened. Bama should have kept starter in all game. Pulled her early then put her back in but OU scored on her second time too.
All of our pitchers have melted down late in games this year. We don’t have an ace option to go to.

If there is one kink in our system, it's going to be hard to land a dedicated multi faceted big because every coach we compete against will tell them the truth. Offensively you will only be utilized for lobs and deep penetration dump passes.
Does Grant Nelson know this?
