The Lady Vols fanbase absolutely adores Pickens. I was at the game and the whole UT crowd was absolutely yelling & pulling for Pickens. The girl is loved tremendously.Great weekend for the Lady Vols. Dominated the opponents. Hopefully it carries over to next weekend vs the fake UT.
I’m glad Karen put KP in tonight. She’s still clearly struggling but Karen putting her trust in KP to end the game sends a positive message to the young lady. She’s going to have to really work in the off-season but I am confident she’ll do that and come back a lot better. It’s obvious her teammates love her and want to see her thrive on this team.
I’m shocked only three SEC teams are advancing to Supers next weekend. But it just goes to show you anything can happen. The ladies need to stay focused and take it one game at a time.
As always, Go Lady Vols
Nothing against Ashley or Payton but things don’t always go as planned (hopefully we roll right to the championship) sometimes someone other than the studs have to step up never know when that time will come.Not agreeing or disagreeing, but just curious what makes you think so. Did you see something in Gottshall and/or Rogers this weekend that worried you? I have to admit I was a little spooked today by all the baserunners the Hoosiers were getting on during Payton's appearance. She and the team did great to get out of those jams, but still ...
Definitely. I just wondered if you knew something that wasn't public knowledge yet. I have to hope we don't "need" her. I also hope we can score enough runs early on to be able to afford to give her some work and she crushes it, but we can all likely agree we never want to need a freshman pitcher to succeed in the post-season -- unless that pitcher is Monica Abbott level. Pickens has already proved she's amazing, so she just needs to give herself a dang break. She needs to empty her head and just throw the ball to the mitt.Nothing against Ashley or Payton but things don’t always go as planned (hopefully we roll right to the championship) sometimes someone other than the studs have to step up never know when that time will come.
PAC-12 not fairing all too well either. UCLA goes 0-2 and Washington may lose two today. But Oregon and Stanford really demolished SEC schools. We and Georgia are the only SEC schools to not have a loss so far.
Really the PAC went 7-1 against the SEC I believe. Weak showing by the conference this year.
I know nothing. As far as I know from watching and talking to people at the park they are both healthy and ready to go. Be at ease. Payton didn’t start with her best stuff. The one West dropped would have been out if the wind hadn’t been blowing in (we had one that probably got held in the park too), and they were hitting her pretty hard early. Payton being the stud she is worked through it and pitched great in the end. Side note I don’t think anyone at the park was all that upset about West not catching the ball runners only moved up one base and on a normal day that ball was gone.Definitely.
