Ongoing UF Softball Commentary

lol -- I just posted this exact thought in the thread: :Softball NCAA Championships" I guess great minds think alike!

 

It was just a few years ago when we were on the same level as them. Better decisions would have still had us on their level.

 

It didn't help that their coach chose to not start her best pitchers. That was such a genius move by her to use her freshmen pitchers instead of her experienced pitchers against Oklahoma. lol

 

One of the graphics during the game -- the freshman Weekly started routinely throws 70MPH+ and OK hits .214 when facing pitching over 70MPH. Many of the pitches were 74MPH.

Scared money don't make money.

 

Those darn analytics. lol

 

Is all of this necessary Patty? Just get the last out and end this now. lol

 

At least we got to see Jen Rocca.

Big deal that all your pitchers get to say they played in the World Series for one batter. If they put that on their resume, they better drop a footnote that it was just during garbage time.

 

Rocha.

 

What is somewhat depressing is Gators were 0 & 7 against teans in the WCWS. Hopefully that will dramatically improve.

 

138-4 record in 4 years with 2 state titles for the senior class. Got to be up there with one of the all time greats for a high school program.

 

Lake Creek has Oklahoma type numbers. Sooners are 173 & 8 over the last three years.

 

Ava threw a one hit and 15 strike out championship game shutout. I haven't found her full batting stats but she did have at least one hit and one rbi:

 

Ava and her teammates chomp her way to the MVP:

 

Just think how much better she will be under the tutelage of Mike Bosch. Oh my.

 

Mike who?

 

Are these stats good? I think they're good:

Oklahoma has been able to get quality transfer portal pitchers the last few seasons as well. Need that dominant pitcher in softball. Can’t win without it.

 

This Stanford-Washington game is a classic.
