It’s like a basketball team that loses by 6 points while shooting 18 for 30 at the free throw line. Seems familiar. FBS level players don’t struggle with simple things the way all our teams seem to struggle.

I think we all know how many fly balls Tech hits, but out of curiosity I tallied them up for the weekend series. Tech flied out 41 times compared to CLT’s 29. That’s a whole lot of easy outs and clearly proof that our team’s swing technique is wrong. You can’t hit that many fly balls all by accident.
I think it's safe to say that after a sample of 20 games this is a sub mediocre team at best
25 wins might be the absolute ceiling for them
For all the preseason hub-bub we haven't seen the talent at the plate or on the mound
Yes - they miss McConnell, but even with him they are not making up for runs a ballgame
We are just BAD, B A D not in a good way bad right now

Cheers for Lady Techster softball!
When I watched us play against Northwestern, I knew we were in big trouble this year. Anytime theres a guy on the mound with a 30+ ERA sitting your guys down like Greg Maddox, you’ve got issues. Pitching is equally atrocious. Hard to imagine a team regressing this much in one year, yet here we are making it look easy.
I was thinking back on all the leadership we have lost in the last 2 years. Those leaders either weren’t coaching up their locker room replacements or no one is built for it. We have lost a dozen or so players that were unreal teammates. I am a firm believer that you are born with leadership qualities or you aren’t and it is extremely hard to learn to be a leader.
Adversity creates leadership. As we spiral downward, someone will step up. Maybe a few guys. No way are we 40 deep of weak-minded humans. The time is now. Freshman? Benchwarmer? Who cares? Whoever cares will be that guy.
There’s nothing but truth to the saying ‘lead by example’. Right now Tech doesn’t have any leaders because no one is playing well enough to take the reins. I don’t know if we even have a team captain. If we do I haven’t heard. That also says a lot.
This year the captains are -
Fincher
Matulia
Meyers
What does Meatloaf say - Two out of three ain't bad....
