Brooke Yanez of Oregon just entered the portal (Left handed pitcher). I wonder if she will be targeted. Kilfoyl has always been good but frequently injured. But when’s she’s on she’s on. That being said, isn’t her current injury the same one that Erin Gabriel had back in the day? She never came...
It definitely seems that way now, but probably won’t last forever. Everyone on the team this year was great, but I do think Alo and Jennings were a once in a generation duo. Hopefully with Alo gone it will be slightly easier to pitch around Jennings…
I agree. It is great to see the talent OU has and even though the scoreline wasn’t close, I never turned off the champ series. However, I think the dynasty and the divide between OU and the field makes the sport less appealing to the causal fan.
Agree, it could have been a mental tactic as well. And to your other point as well I remember how Caylan was talking about how when she got to Florida State she could call her own pitches and how she liked that so much better. Of course Karen and Megan have the stats and probably know best, but...
Just an observation from the UCLA game. Did anyone see Holly Azevedo shake the pitch calls multiple times to Alo? When she got what she wanted she struck her out. I don’t know that I have ever, at least in recent years, seen any of our pitches not just throw what they are told.
I was thinking the same. What’s the point of it? If you’re bringing her in despite the 12 run lead why not the whole inning? Why risk reinjuring for this? Probably just to get the nerves out but bizarre IMO.
Fouts just sent a clear message in support of Alabama and that she will return. I’m guessing this post came about because of all the drama surrounding the program
