It’s was a routine line drive right at the centerfield, the bad luck was the stupid base running. And she had no clue of what was going on with Gabby’s at bat either. And it’s not the only time shes done it. Watch Fiedlers expression, doesn’t look like she thinks it’s just bad luck either. Errors and mistakes happen but not having a smart softball IQ as player in the SEC is unacceptable at this level.

My first thought was she does not know the out count;;;had to think there was two outs!

I would bench Ella even if for one game. I can let it go if someone does something once but this is the second time she has cost us doing the same thing. Let Bella start at second and I would give Rodriguez a chance at DP. Like I said even one game and it’s sends a better message than letting a player have no repercussions for making the same mistake on the bases over and over again. But I’m also not a coach that’s just me as a frustrated fan so it’s not worth much.

Same logic for watching 3rd strike or KP throwing error that resulted in 3 runs? What message does it send to the player like Bella who was benched for her play weeks ago? Late in the game you have options for runners on the bench, why not use them?

Reading this just explained your lack of knowledge of the game. You actually thought they were a #1 team. Jokes on you, a team that is 2nd to last in there own conference in hitting isn’t a number #1 team, we’re not even 1st in our own conference. We are a good top 10 team and depending on the day a top 5 team but not the #1 team. At some point you got to hit and Pickens has hidden the teams flaws at times.

Lack of knowledge? LMAO. I’m not the NegaVol or the punk in his parents basement. You constantly berate with no real basis.

If someone can make you post like this, maybe message boards aren’t for you. Beauty about being a Tennessee fan is we don’t have to align on our views.

You’re a laugh a minute. Always got to be attacking someone. Go back to your hole Nega.

See what I mean. My post wasn’t an attack, more guidance to someone who is triggered by another poster. One of us is name calling and the other is talking softball.

All about Ole Miss now avoid errors hope we can score enough to win the games. We gave Clemson a game not the first game we've given away this season not being able to make routine plays or use routine knowledge and judgement on the bases. Every team gives away a few games every season with mental mistakes just this season we have given away more than we should've. We need to sweep Ole Miss a very tall order for us. They could easily sweep us if we play like we did against Clemson. We sweep I think were playing for the SEC regular season championship against Texas A&M. It all comes down to this weekend whether we have that chance or not.

I’ve been talking softball. Maybe closer reading would help you. Your advice is pretty much worthless when the last thing you want to do is provide something helpful. Everyone here knows who you are and probably laughed out loud when they read ypur post (unless they are ignoring you). Feel free to scroll on Skippy!!!!

Ole Miss will be a huge test if we can’t hit well. We’re at their place and coming off a loss. Every conference game is critical for us.

Yes as far as any chance at the conference title all decided if we have a chance in this series. Regardless I am confident we can play well enough to make the top eight and get the home super regional. i expect us to be locked in and a loss like Clemson usually helps a team do just that.

You went though a similar form of aggressive posting in the basketball forum defending CKH a few years ago & took a hiatus. Maybe to recover, prioritize or self reflection. Seems we’ve arrived back to that point again. I’ll take my postings here as helpful, I’m not ever looking for validation though.

Ok plays Texas this weekend. Should know a lot more about the contenders on Monday. Arkansas plays a really good hitting A&M team this weekend. We have Florida and MSU snipping on our heels. All we can do is play the hand we were dealt.

I’ve not given up on the 3-peat yet. While we make inexplicable plays that are not expected, we still have a big part of our destiny resting in our hands. Wake up bats and start swinging away. After learning just how sophisticated our preparation is, I have to wonder if we are overthinking at the plate.

We can’t win those types of close games without hitting home runs because we can’t bunt or run the bases the last few years.

I guess I’m a Weekly hater again because that is a coaching issue when it continuously happens year after year

We have won a ton of games without relying on the long ball. Do you even watch the games or just fantasize what happened by looking at the stats? There is a lot of action that is missed when all you do is read stats and try to make the square peg fit in the round hole.

Not that it will make a difference to you but how can one characterize you as anything but a hater when you constantly berate players and coaches?

Nugent was a good hitter before arriving in Knoxville. Don’t be that naive to believe her hitting has improved since transferring here. She just didn’t have the batting opportunities at Oklahoma as she does being a regular in the lineup here.

She says she is hitting the softball better. This info is a couple of weeks old so she could have changed her mind. I do believe she is the resident expert on her swinging the bat.

Were the good hitters good when they got to Tennessee, or did the Weeklys make them good?
Click to expand...
Yes, they were some of the best hitters in the country. What changes is the talent around them. Take Clarke for instance. She is an excellent player looking to establish herself as a Freshman. She has been executing sacrifices well lately which has been what Karen asked of her. She has a long ball too. The thing is that when they step up and play for teams like the lady vols, the pitching and defense is a lot tougher than they faced before. Young players need reps and opportunities to excel and that is why Emma is the DP. Will Emma stay there, it’s up to Karen who, while needing to develop players also has to win games.

The reason we will never win a Nation championship with a Weekly coaching.
Click to expand...
Wrong. Karen is going nowhere and we will win that championship. Probably a lot of the hate speech I read comes from fans of other teams who are trying rather drastically to tarnish and diminish. That’s when you know Karen is a real threat to their teams.

Merely a suggestion. I generally agree with most of your perspectives, but toil away, brother, for whatever good you will accomplish. 😉🤙🏼

With Oklahomer and Tejas dueling this weekend, ESPN will likely be all over those games but I think the Arkansas and TAM series will be really good. TAM can hit so those Hogette pitchers better bring the fire.

Here are the records entering the next to last weekend. Oklahoma/Texas and Ark/TAM are the marquee matchups. The conference schedule is 24 games.
