You obviously don’t know the rule. She doesn’t replant and push she lands. The ball is out. Also the leaving the rubber and getting airborne was a rule change this year. To think if it were that obvious the umpires would have called it. Also Enter is done. No portal as a 5th year senior.

Team was tied for the conference lead in batting average, led the B10 in fielding. Are there times when hitting went cold, sure. Losing players to the portal isn't something they can control. If someone wants out, they will leave. And just an FYI....our softball NIL is terrible...

So, to understand this: The team loses their #1 and #2 pitchers, still is able to manage a 5th place finish in the B10. Tell me which teams in the B10 could handle losing their top two pitchers and still compete at a high level. Obviously, there are things that need work...all teams have...

I have not spoken to anyone I attribute it to body language. Case in point: game yesterday (I attended) 5th inning, 2 outs Oakland on first down 5-0 Krapf hits a pop down the first base line could have been within a foot of either being fair or foul She walked about half way to first and...

This is bad. Combined with our inflated batting totals considering who we have played. Everytime we see a quality #1 we can barely hit. Happened against Indiana with Klieman, happened with Wyche at Maryland, happened with Boyd at Rutgers, even happened with Magnanimo at Wisconsin. So we...

I don't disagree with this...but how many teams since 2000 have made it to the WCWS from the B10? Should have known the chances walking in.

I've been off the grid a little and haven't paid attention to everything that is going on but here are some things I'm thinking/seeing. 1. As much as we as fans want to place "blame" on the shortcomings of the team, why can't it be that maybe we aren't as good as we thought they were going to...

Again maybe the problem isn’t the pitching. No hit through 6 to a very average WI team. This is a team issue. Not position specific. It’s an average team.

I wouldn't characterize it as uninspired. OSU is not a good team. They have given up 18 to WI in the first two games this weekend. The teams we have beaten in the B10.... Illinois and OSU are the second to worst teams in the B10....only MIchigan State is worse, and we lost to them. This...

Last weekend was good...not great. While I am encouraged by the comeback win and grittiness of the squad, I think we also need to be able to see that it might not be as great as it seems. Ohio State is in the bottom 3 of pitching for the season in the B10, and last in pitching when it is viewed...

Knowing a few coaches and knowing what they feel. The B10 is important, but the NCAA tournament is the goal...always. Goal #1 and it isn't close. If all they cared about was the B10, you wouldn't see the the preseason scheduling the way it is. You wouldn't see the concern with RPI. Goal #1...

I get this same vibe. Enter seems to have improved, Hambrick isn't anywhere near where she was last season. Schwartz might have been a difference maker if she were healthy. Hopefully it's nothing serious and she is back throwing soon. I still have faith the team can get things figured out.

It is on the espn+ app

Both were outstanding pitchers, just as good Barber. Not that anything a person does in high school matters. Look at past pitchers in the state and how they turned out. Hostettler, Dueck, the older Schwartz, Armbruster, Mickshl (sp)....along with the newer group like Snippes, Barber...

I agree it has been a frustrating season to date. I think we are able to see flashes of what they could be, but man, right now it's like all of the stars need to align to have successes. The hard part for me right now...what is the identity of this team? Pitching? no Hitting? no Defense? no...

Yeah that's crap....You have to have more composure than that. Word from a source I have is that she has been hurt all week, apparently in a boot. But then why put her in?

I don't disagree with this statement. However, with Football and Basketball being head count scholarships, I'm not interested in helping students that are already not paying anything to attend school. I'd rather throw money at the kids that are doing the same work, the same classes, the same...

I don't disagree with anything above. But would add that if we are ok with MN not wanting to veer into the pay for play realm, we need to be realistic as to what our expectations are for our athletic teams. It's not a level playing field, the recruiting is not equal. With your last...

No and yes. Is there money for softball...yes, I'm assuming. How much? no idea. But how it works is the DA reaches out to athletes to see if they are interested in joining the collective. Athletes are invited, they don't just get to be involved. I know of a few athletes that have reached...

Exactly, and the machine just keeps powering on.
