Softball mid season report card.

[JMV JustMyView]

Since we are right around the mid-season I will give you guys my report card on the team. This is just my views off of what I have seen. Feel free to offer your views.

Pitching: D (Some bright spots but mostly inconsistent across the board from struggling to throw strikes, walks, hitting batters, making poor decisions once the ball is hit to a pitcher to not backing up the bases, etc. It has been bad)

Hitting: D (For the most part the folks that should be hitting haven't and a few have been pleasent surprises. Lack of clutch hitting and power is very evident. Also way too many slappers who can't drive the ball or get a bunt down)

Defense: D (Lack of athleticism shows in plenty spots. With the pitching staff so bad it gives the defense more opportunities to make errors. Also lack of knowing what to do with the ball once it is hit to them is frustrating)

Baserunning:F(Numerous base running mistakes, leaving early etc. The worse part is key pinch runners making most of these mistakes)

Coaching: C (Lack of experience with decisions making is hurting. They are making the most of what they have with what they have)

This off season will be critical to the future of the program. I believe some tough decisions will need to be made with the roster.

So a D average team and coaching. This is wild for our prize softball program.

It's a girls sport. Does anyone REALLY care? I mean, come on.

Expected in my opinion after the off season this program experienced.

You care enough to comment.

Well, when you lose your A and B+ players, 7 of them, this is the result.

Don’t say this often, JMV, but I mostly agree.

Agree with your assessment. It has been a difficult season for our storied program but expected.

I care. Have been a fan and supporter since I was a student at UL in the 1980's.

Tough year. Expected but tough to face that expectation. Girls are doing what they can but really struggling. And the Belt is improved.
Hope springs eternal.

Say what you want but we just don’t want our most consistently nationally recognized program to go down the toilet because if it does there is no coming back in this day and age of College athletics. Glasco left at the absolute worst time for us and f Ed us over.

[Tasso]

I agree with your assessment.
