Sb G2 Final: Louisiana 1, Alabama 5

Agression is fine but not at the expense of bad base running. Especially yesterday when runs are at premium, you can't give away outs, especially at 3rd with no outs.

I agree somewhat, but has anyone ever thought with the injuries that we had, we lost a lot of power and Coach Glasco knows we have to make up those runs so he is pushing the envelope with speed?

More specifically, applying preasure to the opposing defense.

The aggressive base running works against the Micky Mouse Sunbelt teams who can’t throw the ball from the outfield to the catcher without an error. When the competition is able to throw and catch, like Bama, the aggressive base running looks silly.

Better teams will definitely field and throw the ball better. However some of our base running has been mental issues, missed signals, and such.

Juice, Melissa and Heath need to get hot if we are to do anything in a regional.

To be honest the whole team needs to get hot again. If Dalton returns expect 1 of those 3 to be on the bench.

Dalton have been a very good player for us over the years. IMO this have been a down year for her standards that we have become accustom to.

.378 batting average
.464 on base percent
21 rbi
31 hits
8 steals
Only 4 errors
14 walks to only 2 strike outs
In 29 games. I will take these stats all day long. Just curious what stats did you expect her to have after 29 games?

I heard Glasco on the radio yesterday concerning Dalton and O'Neal. He said it's doubtful they will return. If they do, he said 2 to 3 weeks at the earliest I think.

You almost have to liken it to the 2018 team, when Coach Glasco took over and was left without his best power hitter(s). I remember us questioning the aggressiveness on the base paths that season, but we damn near took out LSU at their Regional, and we were aggressive that weekend. We forced them into an error in the Bottom of the 8th that led to the game winning run to force an IF game.

I think we're finding ourselves in a similar situation where our best hitters, especially power, are unavailable and we are going to have to manufacture runs somewhere down the stretch.

So when we face these SEC/Big 12 teams with elite pitching, and we're down a best hitter or two, we should just sit back and hope we someone get walked or stumble into a string of hits?

I'd rather we be aggressive, and hopefully learn how to do it now before Regionals.

Being down our best hitter, or two , or three is an excuse is what I was told, lol. Anyway hopefully this week we will working on getting bunts down, fielding bunts, and cleaning up bone headed base running.
