Re: Friday Softball updates
Exactly why I said it was a 1 time occurrence for us and a systemic problem for them. Just pointing out that it happened.

They're so fundamentally bad. Missing assignments all over the place. Can't someone coach them to cover first on a bunt? To call each other off on fly balls?
4 year old kids that hit off the tee have better fundamentals. It's just really weird.
Completely agree, what else can you expect from a JUCO masquerading as a D1. ;-)
Re: Friday Softball updates
I hope the Cajuns stomp USA tomorrow!
I love seeing their coach get all ____ed off!!
It was definitely a chess match out there today between Coach Mike and her. The wheels were turning!
Re: Friday Softball updates
Looks like Louisiana will be Home team tomorrow against USA!
Re: Friday Softball updates
I expect aggravation on bang bang calls in the field. But this officiating crew sure flexes the strike zone. It can go from a shoebox over the plate to a floating shipping container.
Keep it consistent today!
Re: Friday Softball updates
This may have been mentioned already. But what I say in the 4th inning just blue my mind. I think it was one out. Victoria was giving it all she had at that point. I could see it in her face. ULM was laying down bunts to take advantage of Victoria. One of those bunts is when Samatha came from third all the way to the first line and from her knees she threw over the runner and put her out. In my mind Samatha said, "I got your back Vicky, they want try that again". And I think they didn't..........

Saw that too. It was a hell of a play and an even better throw across her body in stride and right on target.
Re: Friday Softball updates
Yes, she was awesome, Ms Walsh. How about that hard hit grounder to the third base side, she dove right to her knees, and threw the runner out at first? Two magnificent plays by our third baser.

She made 3 super plays. The snag and throw from her knees, and two charges on bunts where she made two super athletic and intelligent throws to first. She's clutch.

I had my daughter watching closely how Walsh defended the bunt ... as she plays 3rd base when she is not playing Shortstop.

She's a great player to emulate. Barbara Jordan pointed out that very few players could charge those bunts and have the ability to make the throws Walsh made up the line. She made those look routine.
It's easy to focus on how many runs we put up. But, those kind of defensive plays are huge in the post season. They can easily be the difference makers against regional level opponents.
Re: Friday Softball updates
Samantha Walsh is another UL player shafted by the coaches in the All-SB-C selections. She would be the cornerstone of almost every other team in the SB-C.
Re: Friday Softball updates
We probably need to let Benson and company know that in fact there are only two or three spots on the all everything that maybe, might, kinda could go to some other player.

Did Benson pick that team? Thought it was the coaches.

Benson, Farmer, Bruno, and Tabby are always part of the problems. Get your head in the game.
