8 hours 13 min ago yeah

The performance of past teams on which none of the current players had significant roles may mean something if the same coaching regime is in place, but not if you have an entirely new coaching staff running a completely different system.

2 days 16 hours ago whip

Traina's WHIP is also around 1 this year. She gave up 153 hits and 79 walks in 233 innings. She gave up 0.67 hits per inning.

3 days 9 hours ago 5 right, 4 left

Their website is run by slackers who didn't bother to list which way most of the players bat, so I had to look through their photo galleries to determine this. Some of them might actually be switch hitters, but that seems unlikely. The 2 big power hitters are both righthanded, but the 4 lefties are 1-2-3-4 on the team in batting average.

I don't know whether left/right is as big a deal in softball as in baseball. On one hand the mound is closer to plate so you'd think it would be bigger, but on the other hand the pitcher's windup and delivery usually has much less side to side motion than in baseball.

 

3 days 10 hours ago M v Bama stat comp

M's stats http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/mich/sports/w-softbl/auto_pdf/2011-12/stats/season_stats.pdf 

Bama's http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/alab/sports/w-softbl/auto_pdf/2011-12/stats/season_stats_final.pdf 

The defensive stats are about the same. Alabama allows 2.5 runs a game to M's 2.3. The SEC is better than the B1G, so it's probably about a wash. Like M, Bama has a strong first starter (Jackie Traina allowed 153 hits, 79 walks, 20 hr in 233 innings to Wagner's 178/46/14 in 239) and a so-so second starter (Leslie Jury 62/46/6 in 79 innings, Driesenga 124/45/8 in 124).

The Tide offense is much stronger than M's, 7.1 runs a game to M's 4.6. They draw a boatload of walks (266 to M's 188) and hit a boatload of home runs (92 to M's 46). They have 6 regulars with OBP of .436 or better and no weak links: the lowest OPS among their regulars is 855, which is above any of M's regulars except Chidester and Driesenga. Their two top power threats are Kaila Hunt (19 hr) and Amanda Locke (17 hr) and their two speed demons are Jennifer Fenton (43/45 sb) and Kayla Braud (39/44 sb). Basically this is a team full of patient, dangerous hitters. M should be able to stay with them if Wagner is on and makes few mistakes, but if she has an off day we're in trouble.

5 days 10 hours ago this team is living in luck

Hard to top getting the inning extended on a bad call and then scoring the winning run on a HBP. But the bigger story is that Wagner has thrown two good games in a row against tough opponents. If she can hold teams to 1-3 runs a game, this team can keep going.

6 days 9 hours ago I'll take it

A 1-run win counts the same as a 10-run win. Good to see the true freshman staying cool under pressue.

1 week 13 hours ago OSU D

Their defense is a mortal lock to be better than it was last year. They have just about everyone back, and most of them have room to grow. It should be one of the top units in the conference, although I don't expect it to be in the class of some of the really dominant OSU defenses of years past.

1 week 13 hours ago ok

Your o-line play last year was mediocre at best and poor by OSU standards, and you lost your 3 best linemen in Adams, Brewster, and Shugarts. The coaching may be better but there are still likely to be transition issues when implementing a new scheme.

1 week 3 days ago agree, it's PSU

I'm not going to defend the actions of some of their fans after the scandal hit, but most PSU fans are good people and even the misguided, obnoxious ones did nothing to deserve being associated with that kind of horror and shame. The school whose teams I would least like to be a fan of is the one whose teams have done the most to embarrass the university, and that's no contest.

2 weeks 4 days ago not quite

Man U, Man City, and Chelsea are all the Yankees. Arsenal and Liverpool are both the Red Sox. Tottenham is maybe the Angels. All the other teams are the Brewers.
