Thanks for the information JMV. We seem to have a lot of young talent that bodes well for the future. Looking forward to the upcoming season.

Decent summation of the team. Sophie will force the team to be its best because she will work very hard at being her best. Karly Heath will be a great pitcher and will reach 72 mph. Vanessa Foreman took lessons from Kyla Hall last summer and changed her delivery because of that. She is our only left handed pitcher. Melissa Mayeux stayed here during Christmas break and worked hours and hours EVERY day. She will be a slugger. Ari Quinones is a better second baseman than Stormy Kotzelnick. Who knows where Stormy will play?
Gerry will change the lineup a lot at the beginning of the season. Whoever practices harder will be on the field. They will all practice hard, Gerry will have a really difficult time. He came in four years ago wanting to have a pitching staff with a starter, reliever and closer. We may see that this year. He says none of the pitchers will have 30 wins, the games will be divided pretty evenly amongst the three or four pitchers, with each having 10 to 15 starts. What a luxury! It is an exciting time to be a Cajun Softball fan.
Nice post. However, there are a couple of things I don't see happening. First, there may be only two or three pitchers across the nation who will throw 72 miles an hour consistently. Heath will not be one of them. Nice thought, though.
Secondly, I don't think the player who sees the most playing time on the field, where the position is competitive, will be the one who practices the hardest. I think the position will go to the player who hits better than the other player or players.
Finally, I heard what you heard. Glasco says he'd like to have three pitchers who each start 10 to 15 games. History shows there's always been one pitcher who gets more innings than the others. I have to believe one pitcher is going to start 20 to 25 games. We'll just have to see how it all shakes out.
I hope the kids are vocal in the dugout this year. It’s fun when the ladies rally to support each other at the plate.
Thanks for the information JMV. We seem to have a lot of young talent that bodes. Looking forward to the upcoming season. Just hope this young talent can gel quickly and grow up fast. Age brings wisdom, youth brings excitement. Hope we have enough wisdom to corral all the excitement this team should provide.
Yes, this is true but to win the World Series, you need a minimum of two studdettes on the mound. Three would be a blessing. By the time conference championship comes around as well as post play, one pitcher will never make it through all the way. Will always get burnt out.
The English language is robust and flexible. Can we somehow eliminate stud/studette as descriptors for our female athletes?
I believe it is possible.
