    No argument there. I'm just saying that this shouldn't be one of those calls that you can challenge and delay the game. Mostly because it is so ripe for a "hail Mary" in the latter innings where the coach has no belief that the runner left early, but is just using up a challenge because why not, maybe get lucky.

    If statistics were kept, I'm sure it is the least successful challenge, but we all sit and wait, plus the flow of the game is interrupted needlessly.

    Not really.
    Everyone from now on will have it and get the same number of years.
    Freshmen this year would have four more; sophomores would have 3, etc.
    Roster management would be challenging at first without increasing the numbers on the roster.
    The most perplexing thing would be the career records.. Maybe the Maris *.

    So Townsen redshirting this season means she’d have six more years?

    I think Keagan should pitch the midweek game. Less importantly does Taylor hit three homers and get that pesky freshman home run record distraction off the table?

    Concerning Taylor I don’t think it matters. She’s back and going to crush all records.

    Our ELO, the more advanced metric is “only” nine.
    ELO Chess Ranking - 2025 College Softball | WarrenNolan.com, sixth in the SEC.
    We are “only” fifth in the league standings too, which will factor in some, and there are still questions about KR, which could hurt us.
    I think we need 4-2 to feel comfortable.

    It could be worse. UK shortstop has 22 errors and counting.
