Time to talk about what's wrong with softball

Might be time to make some changes to get some people worried about losing their spot. Comia should play more. Walton claimed Lamar probably had the most power coming into the season, where has she been? Thomas and Hovermale are probably done for the year with undisclosed injuries. No chance now that if Rothrock comes back will she swing a bat. (and that's a big if as every week passes).

 

Interesting take…personally I’m not excited about two way Ava and her standoffish personality. Pick a position Ava. Jmo

 

In my opinion KR not pitching is what is wrong with the Florida softball program. This girl has supposedly a non serious injury that has kept her out of the lineup since February 22. That is a long time to be on a day to day basis. If she doesn't pitch this weekend, I wouldn't be surprised if she won't be done for the year and that is a huge problem.

 

We're 30-5. The softball program is fine other than Rothrock being out.

 

Just a question here fellow soft ball ‘ites’: has the NIL era now taken a toll in softball to a point that UF can’t seem to recruit/stack enough top shelf pitchers that can actually produce ? Obviously KRoc is supposed to be our dominant pitcher. But Ava was supposed to be right there behind her. And Red may turn out to be a great one, but you can’t depend on freshmen. It kind of feels/seems like a similar situation to what Baseball is experiencing. Top rated recruiting classes that just aren’t producing at the needed level. How does/ What does CTW do to build a pitching roster that withstands a key injury ? Just curious for your thoughts. Thx.

 

WTF?
Standoff personality? You obviously have not spoken to her personally.

 

No I haven’t….just observing her body language. It’s just my opinion, and no, I didn’t have to add it.

 

RPI = 2
ESPN poll = 4
Coaches poll = 4

Trying to figure out where this angst is coming from, so I checked the most obvious sign of a struggling team and there it was:

2nd to last in the SEC in triples allowed (all games)

The good news is they've tightened up since SEC play began, so I'm willing to give this Walton guy a few more weeks to see how it goes.

Go GATORS!
,WESGATORS

 

Congrats....we have a new leader in craziest post of the year contest. You've got a real shot

 

Originator of this thread is reviewing this post and wondering . . . Is this person serious?

 

yeah I was curious to the issues?? lol whatever they are, AU pitching & D should cure what ails ya. they did beat ucf though..

 

WTF are you talking about??????? Keagan Rothrock is not elite? Ava was the consensus #1 pitcher. Red was right up there near the very top. We have a commitment from Caroline Stanton who is the consensus #1 pitcher in the 2026 class. WTF are you talking about?????

 

Now. You just might consider that top pitching recruits knew that Keagan and Ava were coming in so before they arrived, that drove off some others. And the next year the next batch knew that Keagan and Ava were freshman and that drove off some potential recruits but we still got Red. Now that things are moving along, we get Caroline Stanton. I strongly suggest you do your homework and combine it with some rational thought before going off the ledge again.

 

Why do we need transfer pitchers????? I don't remember transfers a part of what started this. Is this a commercial for TV? Transfer? Oh, you will buy my house. I guess I will transfer. A couple years ago...yes. And Walton busted his butt to get Maxwell or Vawter but we didn't have the money to compete. We needed transfer pitchers then. We don't now. And, without busting my brain and going back to the original post, I believe your point was we can't recruit. Not buying that. Now, once a top level recruit has to perform, that is another question but it has nothing whatsoever to do with getting top level recruits.

 

I can assure you I haven't the slightest notion to blow a gasket over this thread. I might blow out my stomach laughing but not a gasket.
