The Official Tennessee #8 Lady Vols Softball @ Missouri Series Thread (Thurs. 4/30 7:40PM ET SECN+) (Fri. 5/1 7PM ET SECN+) (Sat. 5/2 1PM ET SECN)

Missouri has only been swept once and that was to UF and 2 of those losses were by 1 run. Also lost to Bama twice by 1 run. Missouri isnt a bottom feeder.

I don’t think giving up unearned runs is getting rocked

When every hitter is making solid contact and hitting line drives, IMO that's getting rocked. Errors just added to it.

mizzou although a bad record, is a much improved team than early in the season. they’ve played a ton of close SEC games. they’ll be good next year with how young they are.

even as a “bottom feeder” if you’re in the SEC you can beat anyone on any given night.

 

[kregman]

That saved their season. We can’t hit a very mid pitching staff.

 

[ETNVolunteer1]

I’m not sure why some think Mizzou is a “bottom feeder”. They’ve played (and won) a lot of close games against really good teams.

 

[volforlife10]

so if us, texas, and texas a&m all finish 16-8, how would they decided who gets the 4 seed since we all haven’t played each other?

No solid club seems like they were destined to win this game with how it played out. Winning the series was the goal accomplished. Now to tournament time. In CHRIST Alone

Mizzou beats Lady Vols...rough and close game. Kentucky beating Tennessee men.

 

[volforlife10]

That saved their season. We can’t hit a very mid pitching staff.

we had 10 hits in the first game and then 11 in the second. our hitting with runners wasn’t great, but this is the best i’ve seen us hit in a while. that’s improvement and what i want to see heading into post season.

 

[ETNVolunteer1]

Taking the series was the most important thing and we accomplished that.

 

[kregman]

Don’t leave anything to a committee although in times past they have loved us. Plus Karlyn is a big draw which never hurts no matter what they may say.

Its still annoying to watch poor hitting

time to fire CKW! she over the hill, can't win the sec... might as well fire barnes too, and Kim C and joshey... they all stink... lol

 

[gule]

At least I won't miss sleep tonight watching the replay of this turd...

 

[ETNVolunteer1]

Sweeping a team in the SEC is just very difficult. That’s really all there is to it. This is a league that is very good top to bottom.

well two of them aren’t very good

Played like they really didn't care whether they won or not -- no sense of urgency. Not a good note on which to enter tournament season.

we won the series. i didnt see that they didn’t care, i think mizzou just was playing for their post season so u had to be practically perfect. we were not.

 

[gule]

OU and A&M playing. OU just scored. 4-3 ou

 

[gule]

top of the 6

The way I see it they wanted to win TOO much and It made them tighten up.

 

[kregman]

Sage never got going this weekend and Nuwer was ok. Karlyn at least was ok. At best you don’t want teams seeing your pitcher more than twice in a weekend no matter how good they are.

 

[Majors]

Slightly different view, Tennessee should have went to Columbia and walked out with 3 wins as a statement before the tournament.

pitching wasnt the main problem - defense and hitting continue to be it
