Don't know what they did in the offseason last year, but our batting averages took a nosedive this year.
Fell off the cliff bad.
Alright! had a winning record, that's good! Join the WBB team with finishing above .500, definitely a lofty accomplishment, worthy of raises, contract extensions, and praise for the status of Tech's athletic department.
How's that Sharky, no CCC for me! :shocked2:
There’s nothing new under the sun. It’s truly tough to take but Tech is all about underachieving and it feels like it’s only going to get worse.
I think last year was an anomaly with the program in year one, considering the prior couple of seasons -
This year was a step back, but they played a much harder OOC schedule and no one overlooked them this year in conference
I think the program is still on track to get back to where Montgomery had them
Middle Tennessee beat North Texas today in the championship game today. I nice parting gift for an exiting school.
At least the team that beat Tech won the tournament.
This coaching staff is 71-44 for the past two years. I think we're headed in a good direction.
We will lose some stars in the offseason.
I like playing a tougher OOC schedule. A lot of our teams don't and I know some of it money related etc.. and fans don't like the losses, but I think it helps in preparing the players for adversity and improving mentally/tactically. So many times have our teams played weak OOC and then stumbled in conference play to lesser teams than us. We don't play in that tough of a conference.. in most sports there are 2-3 good teams 2-3 average teams and 3-6 bad teams. For us, and most school like us, winning your conference tournament is the only way to be guaranteed a spot in the post season.
There is a balance to scheduling enough to have a quality schedule without destroying a teams confidence.
One of our pitchers enters the portal. I won’t call any of our player/potential players a commit ever again. Can’t even say coaches are committed. Annual free agency. That’s all this is.
And THERE is the crux of the problem with college sports now. The university wants mine and your hard commitment in terms of financial support and attendance. And yet, our coaches, players and even the school's athletic administration folks are not really committed. All will leave instantly if given the chance.Quote:

But I sincerely hope this isn't just an attempt by our leadership to check another woke box.
Who was it please
LA Tech Softball has been very stable the past two years under current coaches. The one pitcher is the only player to enter the transfer portal under the current staff. Otherwise, we've only lost graduates the past two years.Quote:

Saw it on Twitter the other day, but can’t find it now. One of our freshman who had a good year.
