Title: Bama Softball Post by: 2Stater on April 17, 2019, 04:55:48 AM The ladies travel to Gainesville for a 3 day weekend series against Florida. Very important series. I sure hope Fouts is good to go. She looked great the 5 innings she pitched against Ga Monday night. We need her.
Between her and Cornell, I think we could realistically win 2 of 3. Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: Hannibal Lecter, MD on April 17, 2019, 06:48:41 AM I never thought I would be saying this at the beginning of the year, and especially not when Fouts got injured, but the offense seems to be more of a concern than the pitching.

BAMA 3 FLORIDA 0 Fouts only pitched 3 innings and had base runners in each inning. A good save but calling it a gem is a stretch. From where this team started this year with no starting pitcher, I would call it a gem of a job that both pitchers did. Beating Florida at home is not easy and they did it twice yesterday. I wonder when is the last time they lost a double header at home except when Georgia swept them.

Krystal Goodman continues to pitch well. I thought today may have been her best job yet considering the competition. She had some key strikeouts with runners on base.

Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: 2Stater on April 26, 2019, 07:56:32 PM Ky gets 3 in the top of the 5th to go up 3-0. This is the worst ump I've ever seen in softball. It hasn't helped that Claire Jenkins has committed 3 errors. :wall:
Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: 2Stater on April 26, 2019, 08:27:50 PM The home plate ump may not make it out of the stadium alive. This guy has pissed off everybody watching this game. What a travesty!!! :wall: :wall: :wall:
Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: 2Stater on April 26, 2019, 08:45:33 PM Ky wins 4-1. Fouts couldn't get a call all night at the knees. As a result, she had to throw it down the middle and they pounded it. The Ky pitcher had no problem with those pitches.
The strike out call on Claire Jenkins that was 6 inches outside and six inches high was the straw that broke the camel's back. I'm surprised Coach Murphy wasn't thrown out of the game. That ump should never be allowed to call another game. Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: 2Stater on April 26, 2019, 08:49:46 PM BTW, Jamos was not at the game to keep ole Blue in check.

Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: pmull on April 28, 2019, 08:34:47 AM Cornell pitched a solid game allowing 1 run on 4 hits. Bama had 3 runs on 6 hits. Neither team committed an error. A well played game by two good teams. UK is a hot team right now.
Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: pmull on April 28, 2019, 08:56:48 AM Alabama has eliminated 10 SEC teams chance of winning the SEC regular season championship. Only Ole Miss and LSU are in contention with 4 conference games each to be played. Alabama travels to LSU next week.
Alabama 15-5 Ole Miss 13-6 1.5 game back LSU 14-7 1.5 game back LSU is playing out of conference this weekend. Only 3 SEC games left to play, all against Bama.

Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: hscoach on April 28, 2019, 05:37:03 PM UK wins in 13, 3-2 which gives them the series 2-1.
Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: 2Stater on April 28, 2019, 06:07:23 PM That umpire must be the same one as Friday night. Turrible! He must have something against Claire Jenkins. He totally destroyed her in this series.
I have to put much of the blame on Murph too, Cheek is a good hitter for Ky, but not good enough to intentionally walk, with a runner on first. The next batter got a base hit which knocked in the go ahead run, which we weren't able to overcome. Very tough loss. Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: ricky023 on April 29, 2019, 03:30:24 PM We should make the playoffs though am I correct? RTR!
Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: 2Stater on April 29, 2019, 05:27:10 PM We should make the playoffs though am I correct? RTR! We'll make the tourneys, Preacher, but we're trying to host a regional and super-regional. Those type losses don't help. Losing 2 out of 3 at home to Ky, surely didn't help. Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: hscoach on April 30, 2019, 09:06:59 AM They have a huge series with LSU this weekend.
Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: 2Stater on April 30, 2019, 11:18:53 AM They have a huge series with LSU this weekend. Yep, likely for all the SEC regular season marbles. Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: pmull on May 01, 2019, 06:53:31 AM They have a huge series with LSU this weekend. Yep, likely for all the SEC regular season marbles. Bama wins the regular season championship with two wins. LSU wins with a sweep of Bama or two wins and one Ole Miss loss. Ole Miss wins if LSU beats us twice and they sweep UGA. As well as we have played all year hosting a Super Regional is not a lock. If we lose our last two series and do not win the SEC Tournament we might be in trouble. Win the LSU series and we are in good shape. Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: ricky023 on May 01, 2019, 10:19:10 AM Come on ladies do the right thing and wit all. RTR!

Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: Chechem on May 04, 2019, 03:17:03 PM So, with the win Friday night Bama clinches a share of their sixth SEC regular season title. Another win this weekend gives Alabama the championship outright. If LSU wins twice, the teams would finish with identical 16-8 conference records, and would be recognized as co-champions, with tie-breaker scenarios only coming into effect to determine seeding for the SEC Tournament. :popcorn2: The SEC Network said that if LSU won the last 2 games, they would be the #1 seed in the SEC tournament, I guess because of head-to-head competition. The tie breaker is head-to-head but does not affect who wins the regular season championship. Should LSU take the series 2-1 LSU and Bama share the title. The tie breaker decides SEC tournament seeding. Bama just needs to win the series and take the title out right. I gare-un-tee a Bama Championship!!!! Oh no, rat poison. :facepalm: Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: hscoach on May 04, 2019, 05:02:01 PM Game time on SEC Network.
Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: hscoach on May 04, 2019, 05:14:52 PM Bama goes, hit, caught stealing, walk, hit and then two straight pop-outs. 0-0 LSU coming to bat.
Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: hscoach on May 04, 2019, 05:23:29 PM Cornell pitching today. Gets the first 2 batter, then hits the next. However, the 4th batter fly out to LF. 0-0
Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: hscoach on May 04, 2019, 05:47:28 PM Bama gets a leadoff double, then a walk, sac to 2nd and 3rd with 1 out. The next batter walks to load the bases, with the top of the order coming up. Brown walks to bring in the first run keeping the bases loaded with 1 out. Tow walks to bring in the 2nd run with Hemphill coming to the plate with 1 out. There is a pitching change for LSU. Hemphill walks to bring in the 3rd run. Schroder at bat with one out and strikes out. Sides at the plate, pops out to short to end the inning. Going into the bottom of the 2nd, Bama up 3-0. This umpire is not a pitcher's umpire.
Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: pmull on May 04, 2019, 05:49:11 PM 3 runs on one hit. Umpire has a tight strike zone.
Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: hscoach on May 04, 2019, 05:50:46 PM 3 runs on one hit. Umpire has a tight strike zone. Yes, he does. Not sure what a strike is sometimes. The camera angle isn't the best so some pitches look better than they are. Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: hscoach on May 04, 2019, 05:54:09 PM LSU 5,6, 7 coming to bat. First batter strikes out. Second batter grounds to third for the 2nd out. The third batter lines to 2nd for the 3rd out. Bama coming to bat in the top of the 3rd.

Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: hscoach on May 04, 2019, 06:39:19 PM LSU up to bat, first batter, gets the first hit of the day for LSU. Second batter, singles to center. Two on no outs.

Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: pmull on May 04, 2019, 06:42:10 PM We did good getting out of the 4th only allowing one run. We have the 5,6,7 hitters coming to bat in the top of the 5th.
Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: hscoach on May 04, 2019, 06:50:32 PM Sides leads off for Bama and walks. Jenkins up to bat, fails to sacrifice, but is hit by the pitch to put runners on 1st and 2nd with no outs. Dykes up to bat, sacrifice the runners to 2nd and third while Sides tries to score and is thrown out at home for the double play. Morgan up to bat with a runner on 3rd, back to the pitcher of the 3rd out. I don't know if the coach sent the runner or they did it on their own, a bad play either way. Bama up 4-1 going into the bottom of the 5th.
Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: hscoach on May 04, 2019, 07:01:34 PM LSU's first batter fly out deep to center. Second batter, doubles to left-center. Third batter, top of the order, grounds out to short and the runner advances to 3rd with 2 outs. Fourth batter, bloops a hit to left center to score the run. Firth batter up with a runner on first, pops out to 2nd for the final out. Bama lead cut to 4-2 going into the 6th.

Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: 2Stater on May 04, 2019, 08:20:52 PM Great accomplishment for the ladies. No one expected them to pull off winning the SEC championship, or to even be this competitive this year. Montana Fouts is going to be a top notch pitcher for Alabama. She pretty much already is.
I'd love for them to complete the sweep tomorrow. Regardless, it's on to the SEC tournament, regionals and super-regionals. Roll Tide!!!

Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: hscoach on May 05, 2019, 02:21:36 PM Just started following the softball game and Bama scores 5 in the top of the 4th to take a 5-0 lead.
Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: hscoach on May 05, 2019, 02:38:56 PM Bottom of the 4th LSU lead off hitter hits a solo home run. They then load the bases but are held scoreless. Bama didn't change pitchers, so it looks like they are going to let Goodman pitch herself out of trouble.
Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: hscoach on May 05, 2019, 02:47:08 PM Bama doesn't score in the top of the 5th still 5-1 with LSU coming to bat.
Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: hscoach on May 05, 2019, 02:57:07 PM Lead off walk doesn't hurt Bama, still up 5-1.
Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: hscoach on May 05, 2019, 03:05:14 PM Top of the 6 Bama gets the lead off hitter on. She is sacrificed to 2nd. With 2 outs the runner tries to steal 3rd and is thrown out. Not a smart play as you are in scoring position. Going into the bottom of the 6th 5-1 Bama.
Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: hscoach on May 05, 2019, 03:12:56 PM LSU fails to score in the 6th, going into the 7th Bama up 5-1.

Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: hscoach on May 05, 2019, 03:26:49 PM Goodman retires 10 of 11 batters after LSU scored to finish off a complete game. Bama sweeps and will be the number 1 seed in the SEC tournament.

Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: 2Stater on May 11, 2019, 07:16:58 PM Crystal Goodman on the mound for Bama. Ump has a very tight strike zone apparently. She walked 2 batters but got out of the top of the first when the batter hit a ground ball that hit the runner going to 3rd.
Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: 2Stater on May 11, 2019, 07:37:34 PM At the end of two, no score.

Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: 2Stater on May 11, 2019, 08:15:59 PM Fouts gets the ground out to end the inning. Still 0-0. We have no hits yet.
Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: 2Stater on May 11, 2019, 08:35:22 PM A walk and a single by Hemphill puts runners on 1st and 2nd, nobody out. A ground out moves Sides to 3rd. Schroeder grounds out, knocking in a run. Bama up 1-0.
Morgan strikes out with one out and the bases loaded. Dykes grounds out to end the inning. Should have had more. Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: 2Stater on May 11, 2019, 08:47:30 PM Fouts threw 4 of 5 pitches for strikes. Apparently, the ump didn't see it that way and she walked the first batter. She got the next three, though. Going to the bottom of the 5th, Bama up 1-0.

We got beat because we only scored 1 run and only got 2 hits. We left too many runners on base. We did not play well offensively in this tournament but our pitching got us to the finals with a chance to win it all. Our bats need to show back up for us to make it to the CWWS.
Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: pmull on May 12, 2019, 10:00:27 AM Rule about a runner getting hit by a ball being out.
Quote The ball is dead. The batter-runner is awarded first base (unless she is the one touched by the batted ball), and other runners advance only if forced. ... The runner is not out, however, if she is touched by a batted ball after it passes through or by an infielder (except the pitcher).

Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: 2Stater on May 12, 2019, 08:17:56 PM Wow! Bama got screwed with an 8 seed. Florida got a 5 seed. We swept them at their place and got screwed out of beating them last night. Minnesota got a 7 seed. We beat them twice head to head. Arizona is ahead of us. We beat them 6-1. GEEZ!!!
Don't get me wrong, if we win, we get a super regional at home, but this seeding is total BS! Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: 2Stater on May 12, 2019, 08:45:44 PM Even the announcers can't believe Bama was an 8 seed. Weak-assed explanation was the OOC schedule. We were 32-0. We were 9-1 against top 10 teams. Apparently, that doesn't mean crap. The selection committee is just as inept as the officiating crew from last night.
The Bama hate is glaringly strong. >:( >:( >:( Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: Chechem on May 13, 2019, 04:55:00 AM These dipsticks (the selection committee) likely penciled in Bama and Florida before the game as a 5 and 8 seed, expecting Bama to win. When Florida won they simply flipped the seedings. I doubt they even looked at the implications of it otherwise. Bastids.

Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: Hannibal Lecter, MD on May 13, 2019, 10:01:42 AM Quote So how did the selection committee justify ranking Alabama so low? It was the primary question from the ESPN crew discussing this year’s bracket. The answer they got was that Alabama’s non-conference strength of schedule ranked 106th. Bama was 32-0 in non-conference games. The committee (presumably with great smugness, like almost everything done wrong by anything NCAA) pointed out that Minnesota had the No. 1 non-conference strength of schedule. Never mind that Alabama defeated the Gophers in head-to-head meetings – twice. Alabama has the best record of any of the top 16 seeds at 52-7. The Crimson Tide was regular season champion of the SEC, which has the No. 1 RPI in the nation. Bama was 9-1 vs. top 10 RPI teams. Alabama’s 12 wins against top 25 teams was fourth most in the nation. As for that non-conference strength of schedule argument, how about the SEC strength of schedule. Not only did it have the highest RPI of any conference, a glance at the 64-team bracket will reveal that all 13 SEC teams were selected for the national championship tournament, six of them No. 1 seeds. It is the third consecutive season all 13 SEC softball teams were selected for the national tournament. https://247sports.com/college/alabama/Article/Alabama-earned-one-of-the-coveted-top-8-seeds-for-the-NCAA-Softball-Championship-tournament-and-it-could-be-argued-that-the-Crimson-Tide-is-ranked-too-low-131987631/ Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: 2Stater on May 17, 2019, 06:20:09 PM Bama leads Ala St 3-1 in the bottom of the 2nd.

Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: Leewillie on May 27, 2019, 01:12:56 PM After watching several games over the weekend l believe the umps selectively enforced the batters box rule against Elissa Brown. I saw slappers on several teams step out of the box and not be called. I especially paid attention to the Tennessee/Florida game and saw slappers on both teams stepping out but not called. Kind of looks like Brown was singled out.

Murphy was trying to get the same call on one of TX's batters that bats at the bottom of the order.

:( Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: N.AL-Tider on May 31, 2019, 09:52:58 AM Did Montana pitch the whole game? I know one of the other pitchers got up to warm up in the 1st inning but I went to bed between the 1st and 2nd so I have no idea who pitched after that...

It'll take everything they've got to pull it off. Beating a dominate Oklahoma team twice in their own back yard is a daunting task to say the least. At least they smacked the selection committee right in the face with that soul crushing of Florida.

Picked 8th in the SEC and one game from the final game in the World Series! The pressure is on Oklahoma.

Well done! #+ Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: Red Elephant on June 03, 2019, 05:58:46 AM This team showed a lot of heart. Unfortunately, 4 games in two days against the best talent was just too much. Thanks ladies for a great season!

Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: Red Elephant on June 03, 2019, 07:41:58 AM Anyone know what time the team is scheduled to arrive in Tuscaloosa?
Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: pmull on June 03, 2019, 08:30:31 AM The weather delay on Friday that pushed our second game with Zona to end at almost 1:00am Saturday morning made for a short nights rest ahead of a long day of softball. The team was obviously tired but they never lacked effort. This team should be very proud. They finished 60-10. That is only the 4th 60 win season in program history and the first since 2012. Winning the SEC regular season and making a strong run in the WCWS is not a bad season.
I believe we only lose two starters to graduation. Reagan Dykes and Merris Schroder. Caroline Hardy is a bench player that we will miss her bat. Other than those three we have a lot of talent coming back including our pitching. We will not be picked to finish 8th in the SEC next year. Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: 2Stater on June 03, 2019, 08:37:20 AM Anyone know what time the team is scheduled to arrive in Tuscaloosa?

Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: Hannibal Lecter, MD on June 03, 2019, 09:15:24 AM RE, the only thing scheduled into Tuscaloosa from OKC arrives in about 30 minutes, but it's not big enough to haul the whole team.

Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: Leewillie on June 03, 2019, 11:36:02 AM Extremely proud of these young ladies for the way they have represented the University and the State. They exceeded everyone's expectations and showed a lot of pride and class in the way they went about their business. Nothing but good things to say about this team and coaches. The fought hard to the very end. I salute you for what you have accomplished.
Title: Re: Bama Softball Post by: SUPERCOACH on June 03, 2019, 03:19:45 PM The #8 seeding was idiotic, and our girls proved it. It was also a disservice to Oklahoma, who had to play us 3 times and now has to go into the final series at a disadvantage. It is critical to get the seeding right because it impacts ALL of the teams in the tournament.
