After an entire season of seemingly scoring one run a game, I know I’m being greedy but would love to get one more to pad the lead. UT can score 4 in a hurry

I just worry about a rally. You see it all the time with a home team of batters.

 

[Krymsonman]

Top of 6th: Valentine K's looking, right down the middle again. 1 down. Dowling lines out to CF, 2 down. Esman lines out to CF, inning over. I would sure like to get at least 1 more run. We seem to have a habit of this, one big inning then we relax and don't keep scoring. Keep dealing Briski!!!

Isn't it the hitting coach that brought that "mudita" garbage?

Mudita started when we only had two paid staffers. I thought Murph started it. Could be wrong but I don’t remember it being Allie or Steph starting it.

Nope, Murphys been preaching that for years.

Huge out

I really did not think Briski would be “on” today as I keep thinking as a FROSH, she’s probably never pitched this much in a 3-4 month period. Kudos to the coaching staff- she stays, she could be the next Van Brakle J Train Dunne Osorio or maybe Fouts- I may be getting ahead of myself, but I’m impressed

4 outs away!!!!

 

[CrimsonTitles]

3 outs away. Now do we stay with the hot hand or put in Beaver to close it out?

 

[Krymsonman]

Bottom of 6th: Ground out to SS, 1 down. Another ground out to SS, 2 down. Hand cuffed soft liner to SS, inning over. Still 4-0 BAMA. Briski is still dealing. On to the 7th. Let's see if we can at least get 1 more run.

 

[81usaf92]

Never in a million years would I have thought that this specific team would be in this position. Nothing makes sense about them. They are the worst hitting team in the 16 teams that started this weekend and only won one conference series this year. Beaver and Briski deserve their space in the outfield at Rhoads no matter what happens.

 

[Krymsonman]

3 outs away. Now do we stay with the hot hand or put in Beaver to close it out?

I say stay with the hot hand. Don't change unless it gets cold. Sometimes a different look is all the other team needs to explode.

You stay with Briski unless she gets in trouble.

 

[Krymsonman]

Top of the 7th: Heivilin flies out to RF, 1 down. White flies out to short LF, 2 down. Johnson grounds out to 2nd, inning over. On to the bottom of 7th. Finish!!!

 

[Cruloc]

Ride the horse that brought you. She's on tonight, let her finish it.

 

[Cruloc]

They were never going to go quietly. Still in good shape, just get an out, don't worry about the runner on 3rd.

The question remains what do you do if the lineup turns over

 

[81usaf92]

Well we are going to leave it to beaver

 

[Krymsonman]

Bottom of 7th: Briski hits the first batter, one on, no outs. Single to left center, runner of first advances to 3rd. 1st and 3rd, no outs. Murphy to the circle. Staying with Briski for now. Bunt to Briski, safe at first, runner safe coming home. 4-1 BAMA, 1st and 2nd Tennessee, no outs. Ground ball to SS, out at third, 1st and 2nd, 1 down. Beaver coming in.

 

[81usaf92]

That has to be an out if it is a ball

 

[81usaf92]

I hate reviews in baseball and softball on judgment calls.

 

[81usaf92]

I would seriously consider walking in the run
