Re: Lots of mistakes in all areas of the game

hitting ropes instead of easy pop-ups to the infield and easy fly balls. Got to have better situational hitting, we're back to leaving too many RISP. Rittman reminded me a little of Monte over the weekend; he just let them play, no small ball to speak of really. We started the weekend uber-aggressive on the base paths and then went conservative (I guess getting 3 or 4 thrown out at the plate will do that). I thought we left 2 runs out there yesterday.

As for pitching, Millie is going to have to mix it up a little more and keep hitting spots...if she relies too much on that changeup teams will figure it out. She doesn't have the speed to blow anything by the batter, pick those corners and throw the change in the dirt. Brooke is the same way, yesterday she just threw too many pretty pitches and Mizz teed off on them. I thought Regan pitched well yesterday and Olivia Duncan definitely has potential. Cagle is looking very good so far, a little surprised she didn't start yesterday (or any game). We've got to find someone besides Val that can beat the Oregons and Missouris to sniff a chance at making it to the world series. I'm not sure we played like the #5 ranked team this weekend.

This was a good tournament and we played 4 pretty good teams and 1 high school. Anyway just my $0.02, sorry for the ramble.

Thanks. Their pitcher krings pitched 3 games. 19 total innings. Beat Utah 4-3 and gave up 7 hits and 4ks. She beat liberty 10-1 in 5.

We had 6 hits, 4bb, and 6 ks. Agree we left some runs out there all games. Surprisingly we only had dingers in the high school game.

Probably going to take knowler some time against average to good pitchers. She'll feast off our weaker teams about like JoJo did last year.

One of my ongoing concerns is most of our girls aren't progressing from year to year in hitting. Jury still out this year on our 2 transfers but I haven't been real impressed with who he's brought in. With our success, we should have exceptional talent lined up wanting to come here and play. I mean great hitters.

My other ongoing concern is we've had 5 years of recruiting and we're not seeing any progress to take a spot from someone. I'm using oda as an example. Not really a good hitter at all, and just a good outfielder. Same with having to rely on transfer players. I would have thought with our success, we'd have recruited and developed someone that was better. That doesn't seem to be happening. If anything, we've regressed.

Which is exactly what happened with Monte ball... recruited kids that had glowing resumes and they'd never progress and get better.

We'll know more after this month. Both scar and uga seem to be good tests. Because other than Duke, we have a weak conference schedule. Apologies if you read this for my rambling but wanted to express my thoughts not necessarily based on just our 5 games. Thanks for your response.
