(SB) Ongoing UF Softball Commentary

I think for the next two or three years it doesn't make a difference who these young ladies play. This team is so loaded with talent they will win 90% of the games they play no matter who they play.

 

Maybe, but it certainly didn't work that way in football when Mizzou and the Aggies joined. There always seems to be a reason to redo those future schedules that supposedly benefit UF.

 

CTW should be NCAA WCSB’s COY in MHO. No one expected this Team who was picked 7/8 in the conference, with only seven returning players, which did not include any returning arms to the circle, 11 new faces, seven who were Freshmen, would take second in the regular SEC, win the SEC Tounament, become the fourth seed in the 2024 WCWS Tournament, Win both their Tournament Regional and Super Regional, to win a ticket to the 2024 WCWS. Kudos to CTW and his super staff, Francesca Enea, Aric Thomas, Chelsey Dobbins and Charla Echols

 

This always gets me. Must be allergies. A&M seniors always leave their cleats on home plate when they are eliminated. (Freaking pic is too large for this site....it is a tearjearker if it would load.)

 

The baylor girls left a pair on the plate on Sunday.

 

Defender of the Year:

 

Well deserved

 

And yet they still want to say Kinzie Hansen is the best catcher

 

Otis was screwed

 

Kendra, Keagan and Reagan were also All American deserving. D1 also rated Reese Atwood the All American 1st catcher over Jocey. Kinzie Hansen was 2nd team All American catcher. Jocey was 1st Team All American utility player.

 

No way Atwood was number 1 catcher. Roles should've been reversed.

 

Beachum of fsu won freshman of the year.... she's great but what Keagen has done is a whole other level and should've won. Hopefully she wins the natty

 

Absolutely! 30 wins in your Freshman campaign, coming back from two surgeries on her legs (one on each leg) in the winter before her senior high school season that still limits how she can train (according to CTW). As the season progressed, Keagan earns the spot as the Gators’ No.1 pitcher in the NCAA’s most competitive conference, the SEC. She then helps lead her team to a second place finish in the SEC. And from the circle, Keagan leads the Gators to win the 2024 SEC Tournament and in the WCWS Regional and Super Regional, a ticket to the 2024 WCWS in OKC. No Freshman came close in matching that feat to help her team accomplish more than what was expected at the beginning of the season.

 

In my book, Reagan Walsh is All-American. But my book apparently doesn’t count. Go Reagan! Go Gators!

 

I'm an idiot. That's the pic I saved but was too large to load. Never thought about simply linking the twitter page.

 

Jocelyn as 1st team utility? Exactly how many games at different positions does it take to meet a utility player criteria? Sounds like BS to me. They know who the best players are but must appease others. What Jocey has done behind the plate guiding freshman is unlike anything the other catchers have done. Throw in her rbi numbers and there should be no argument but I guess everyone needs a trophy.

 

And apparently all that matters for outfield all American status is homeruns. None of those players have a better batting average then Korbe. Korbe has the rbi and runs scored numbers to be in the first group as well as I believe a better fielding percentage than 2 of the 3 that went before her. I don't have an issue with the pkayer from from Duke and OK but Kearney? Outside of her HR count there is nothing statistically she is better at than Otis. These media groups just seem to be in the appeasement business.

 

I was sitting here waiting for somebody to confirm.
