Jessica Mullens is an elite pitcher. She and TX state are going to make winning the Belt very tough on us. Glad we are playing them here this season, along with the conference tournament.

Life after Bailey. It was bound to happen.

You think it's as bad at Louisiana as it is at Alabama? The Tide has one pitcher. Well, one and a half if you count Kilfoyl who is coming back from surgery.
The Cajuns have six pitchers. Not one as good as Montana, but still, six pitchers. Come post-season, Montana will have thrown over 200 innings. The most any Cajun pitcher will have thrown is about half that. I'll take six fresh arms against one tired arm any day.

Kilfoyl transferred from Alabama to OK State. While Alabama might not be a top-5 team right now, there are many programs who would gladly trade problems with them.

The transfer portal has hurt them recently, for sure, but the panic button seems a little far-fetched at this point.

She's like 2-4 vs Louisiana.

She's a good pitcher, no doubt. I think she's far from elite, though.

She isn't elite. At the end of the year she will have a tired arm.

Dang! Don't know what I was thinking. I know Kilfoyl is now at Oklahoma State. For some reason, I was thinking she transferred from Oklahoma State to Alabama. I'm getting older.
Lol.

Last year Mullins threw 241 innings. The second pitcher on the team, threw 41.

I was at the conference tournament in Mobile. At the end, she had nothing left. Her arm was dead. In the championship game against the Cajuns, she gave up 11 hits and the Cajuns won 7-1.

Looks like she's going to be overused this year, just like last year.

I think people who think the sky is falling at Alabama are related to some folks here.

If anything, we are off to a much better start this year. Maybe not record wise (it's close), but in terms of navigating a much tougher schedule. This time last year, we had already dropped a home game to a bad Georgia State team already and were set to lose to Texas x 2 and another to a bad Georgia Southern team in next week.

I was nervous at this point last year. Not so much this year.

Now sweep Southern Miss.
