Tulsa softball

[Gmoney4WW]

I was expecting us to close the season around 6-3. If we get lucky tomorrow we'll close it at 3-6. Apparently all we are capable of is beating the non competitive conference mates. We are 0-8 against Charlotte, North Texas, and FAU. Can't see us beating FAU tomorrow, considering a win by them wraps up the first seed, and the regular season championship. They have little more to fight for than their pride. Oh well.

Girls lost their 4th straight today. Pitching has been a struggle down the stretch giving up an average of 8 runs per game over the last 4. Have some holes which need to be filled as well as an overall roster upgrade

Tulsa beats USF 2-1.

Have a tough one in about 20 minutes vs Wichita State.

Tulsa puts a 6 spot up in the top of the 5th, up 8-4 heading to the bottom of 5th against Wheat Shockers.

Our pitching has been down right atrocious over the last several weeks.

Poor defense lost this one, 5 unearned runs on 2 fundamental throwing errors lead to the 6 run outburst by WSU in the bottom of the 5th. Back in the 4th the 3B and SS colliding on a routine foul pop lead to another unearned run for WSU.

So our year is over…correct ?

 

[dlsnid]

Yes sadly

Defense has been an issue all season. I'm not sure I saw more than a couple of errorless defensive outings all season and that's an issue and puts a lot of extra pitches on the pitchers.

So basically we still suck, even though it looked good the first month.

Maybe but we are 114th in the country in team ERA. That will not get it done if we have NCAA tourney aspirations.

We blew that lead but the umpire blew one that really hurt us Strimple was really mad you could read her lips she said it was bull .

 

[lawpoke87]

Two AAC schools (Charlotte and FAU) make the tourney. Both have a tough road to get to OKC

Let's start with a coaching up

I know I'm a little late to the conversation. The throw from the 3rd baseman to catcher wasn't a bad throw.

For all those wanting a coaching upgrade.
The issues with softball are bigger than the Coach. Why do you think Bargfeldt moved on. Start with the 3 issues I listed below. If you surveyed all the softball coaches, players and support staff in the Conference to compare all the schools in the AAC we would be in the bottom tier of all 3 issues. (Bottom tier = Worst in the Conference)
Take a look at Wichita State and North Texas, Tulsa isn't keeping up.

• Budget/Support from Athletic Department/Administration
• Facilities
• Social Media/marketing in the 21st century (this matters to kids these days)

The new AD has a lot on his plate before he gets to softball unfortunately.

PS. Last years team was the 3rd/4th best hitting team in Tulsa's history.

Tulsa has the same issues in practically all non-Olympic sports on campus imo We want to win but it isn’t the priority. Signing kids who we at least break even with regarding the cost of attendance is a very real thing at TU at the moment in these sports
