SB G1: Louisiana 8, James Madison 4

After 6 years, our current coach has proven two things. (1) He can recruit top talent (2) He makes entirely too many "in game" irrational mistakes, all of which have been fully documented here in prior threads. Another post called it "overcoaching". In my opinion, he thinks he's smarter than the proven fundamentals of the game. There's a big difference between being "aggressive" and the decisions I'm referring to.

Nonetheless my point is this. If he doesn't find a way to improve his in game decision making, we will not have the level of success this very talented team is capable of.

Do you think the irrational bunting in the 7th had anything to do with taking the pitcher out of her rhythm and then giving 4 runs in the 8th?

give me a break, don't try to justify horrible decision making because your talented players bail you out!!!

I have to think that Campbell might have missed a sign. She popped up the bunt on a
3 & 0 count.

Changing the pitchers rhythm HELPS the players "bail you out."

I don't need to debate with someone who thinks this coach is just aggressive, so I know I know more than you.

I am giving you a break, enjoy.

I'm only addressing 7th/8th, bunting/HR, not the other head scratchers.

I don't know a thing about softball. But when multiple different knowledgeable softball posters continue to say the same things, over the course of years, it's just human nature to start asking questions.

oh thank you for taking it easy on me...

Expect her back tomorrow

Karly is not in the starting lineup again. Not good.

When warming up yesterday, a hit ball struck her on her hamstring.

You are welcome, but I'm only asking a simple question.

Can a change of pace move that makes zero sense at the time, pay dividends, that sets up players to successfully "bail you out" ?

I remember you mentioning a couple of "make sure to watch" players.
