  1. This thread fucks...especially the last page or so. Hamm wishing On3 goodluck and then warning them he will soon be coming for them is rich.
  2. Far better than what she did to our last pitcher. Seems as though Coach White has them out of a funk and starting to play a little better. The pitching has to improve, along with the defense, but all in all, not a terrible weekend on the diamond for the girls.
  3. Back in the day, I drank a bunch of them Big Mouth bastards.
  4. She has never been the ace of this team, and when she is asked to play that roll, it ain’t pretty. Sad to say, she just isn’t THAT girl.
  5. Ms. Hemphill has graduated, but Alabama is still loaded and very deep in the pitching circle.
  6. Dolcini getting into form is huge. She has been pretty good her last couple of times out. We need her to eat innings against the top teams in this conference.
  7. Bailey Hemphill was a good defensive player. She caught and played 1st base. Definitely an exception to the rule…..and she could really swing it. One of the best pure hitters in the last 10 years, along with Amanda Lorenz.
  8. Exactly. Like I said earlier, look at the last few World Series teams and find all the fatasses. There aren’t any
  9. Pitchers and 1B maybe, but not catchers. I dare anyone of you fatasses to try and catch 68 MPH rise or drop balls from 43’ away. the best players are 5’8-5’10 that can move and <5’6 who are fast as shit. Big fat girls, like Whittaker are a liability. They can’t play defense and when they get a hit, your team becomes station to station. Whitaker should be at DP if she is in the line up. Look at the last 10 years worth of championship teams and tell me how many slow fat girls they had in their lineup.
  10. This is the way softball has chosen to go over the last 1/2 dozen years. Kids are recruited based on power numbers alone, and coaches tend to sacrifice defense to get the best 9 bats in the order. Mike White is the coach of a program, where he should be able to recruit great hitters, who can also play defense. OU does it, Washington does it, Alabama does it, no reason he can't do it.
  11. Mullins for Tx St has a nasty change up as well. It is fun to watch the girls that can really spin the ball pitch.
  12. Iakopo playing 1st and hitting in the two hole this game. Let’s see how she responds.
  13. We need her power, but if she is a clubhouse cancer then she can stay right where she has been for the last 3 games.
  14. No Iakopo again today. She must've really pissed the old man off.
  15. Agreed. I don’t hunk it’s a coincidence that on the same night she was benched, Burke seemed to have pulled her head out of her ass and came to play. These ladies need to understand that the social media followers and the NLI money will dry up when they are no longer in the public eye.
  16. As I mentioned earlier when the Clearwater fiasco was going down, I noticed Iakopo playing more grab ass than catch. It’s my guess that Mike is setting the expectation, regarding preparation and leadership, by benching the teams best player. We will see if this wakes her up or if she shuts it down. Her play and attitude have both been lazy thus far, and we need her to wake up and perform.
  17. Also, as was mentioned earlier, the team looked better today. Offense was going to be a big challenge today with the weather, so Mike tried to play small ball. Execution was again a glaring issue, but I agree the team had a little more pep in their step today.
  18. Jimmy is a really nice guy, solid coach, and a great recruiter. He recruited my daughter when he as at South Alabama. He left Oregon for UAB and then left there when it became apparent the school had no interest in supporting or building a softball program. He will be the head coach at a P5 school soon.
  19. IMO this is a huge part of the problem. Burke, Iakopo, and a few others are more worried about their instagrams and making appearances than they are about being leaders on this team. Go watch them play....more importantly show up early and watch the team warm up. They split up into small little cliques and play more grab ass than they do catch.
  20. I like Mike White and he didn’t suddenly forget how to coach. This is a player problem, and he will have to figure out who those problems are and deal with them. That being said, the next coach of Texas should be Kenny G, which is who I wanted the last time we had an opening.
  21. maybe “you know who at Ok St.” wasn’t the problem after all.
