(SB) Ongoing UF Softball Commentary

My goodness TAMU's Emiley Kennedy is a dead ringer for Kara Hammock.

 

Trisha Ford has been awful with her pitching decisions.

 

I think she's just awful. Really bad stories about her time at ASU

 

Truer words have never been spoken.

Liberty -- never been to a Super Regional -- three outs away from knocking of the #1 seed A&M.

 

I wanted Liberty to win until I realized 2 of their assistant coaches are 2 of the 3 not to be named sisters from 2012. And shockingly one of them is the pitching coach.

 

Down goes #1 A&M

 

Wow

 

They can lose next week now. I wanted the Aggies gone and that was incredibly entertaining

 

That means rooting for Stanford or Oregon..Ugh. I guess it is Go Trees!

 

Yep, kkg8r pointed that out earlier and I completely understand Black Friday.

That said, having one less tough team in the WCWS is a good thing for the Gators!

 

Ford just got outcoached tbh. Liberty was ready for Kennedy, they were not afraid of her at all.

 

Im 100% fine with either of them

 

Right now we are on the tougher side of the bracket.

#3 Florida v Georgia SEC v SEC
#6 Texas v #11 Clemson SEC v ACC

#7 Tennessee v Nebraska SEC v B10
#2 Oklahoma v #15 Alabama SEC v SEC

 

The article was from April 27, 2023 and is not current enough to address some of the players on last year’s and this year’s team. As always sports produces valid opinion's of its history. It is hard to keep Jocey Erickson, Kendra Falby, Skylar Wallace, eventually Taylor Shumaker and others out of the discussion with valid points supporting their inclusion

 

That said I will put Jocey as the best catcher. Aubree Monroe a very close second. Both have high IQ and skill for the position.

 

I'll give kudos to the author (a Georgia alumnus) for actually doing deep research to find some of these all stars. But this article was written in 2023, so I would offer a couple of alternative updates:

Skylar Wallace instead of Megan Bush

Kendra Falby instead of Michelle Moultrie (altho I loved Michelle)

Jocelyn Erickson instead of Kristen Butler (altho Erickson has only been a Gator for 2 years, and I admit I am not familiar with Butler.)

I am no foretune teller, but I think Taylor Shumaker will push Anea out of her slot.

 

I heartily agree. I also don't appreciate someone pushing their religion on viewers during sports interviews as Dot Richards does.

However, I admit I was rooting for Liberty from an underdog perspective. (Not to mention I think they were screwed on several umpire rulings.) I also think TA&M is overrated in general. Their SEC schedule this year was tied for the weakest.
