She was good.
As Ed said .. good points tho, they do get second-rate coverage.
I will give ESPN credit, they televise the entire tourney, every game is available somewhere, and thats a lot of games.

Where the hell is ESPN3?

Groenewegen gives up the tying homer. NOOOOOOOOO.



twinsfan -> RE: General Gopher Talk (5/21/2017 4:08:14 PM)

Is it over yet?

Sounds like a choke-job.

She has struck out 8 out of 10 batters so far. One ball in play one homer and 8 Ks.

Anybody still looking for the game it is on ESPN U.

Thanks kg. I flipped over for literally 5 seconds and saw us go ahead 4-2. Back to the Twins game. I trust the Gophers will win.

We pushed the lead to 5-2, but left the bases loaded when Groenewegen hit into a FC on a sharp grounder to short. I don't understand softball so well, but it seems to me that Groenewegen has pitched a lot of innings so far. When does the arm go dead?



kgdabom -> RE: General Gopher Talk (5/21/2017 4:31:48 PM)

Nice win. They say Groenewegen will likely start the game vs Alabama which starts in half an hour if I understand correctly.

Why no worry about her arm falling off? Sexism?

Only if she pitches 2-3 more days in a row.

FP pitching isn't nearly as hard on the arm

She'll pitch vs Alabama when that game starts.

They sure tried to give that game away.



Mr. Ed -> RE: General Gopher Talk (5/21/2017 4:36:56 PM)

Lindamann finally got a clutch hit. Hopefully relaxes a little.



kgdabom -> RE: General Gopher Talk (5/21/2017 5:08:32 PM)

Game with Alabama just starting. Once again on ESPN U. I think we have to beat them twice to advance.

Win today, force a game Monday.



kgdabom -> RE: General Gopher Talk (5/21/2017 5:19:10 PM)

A clear error by Partain IMO is called a single and what should have been an unearned run is charged. Runner may not have touched home plate. She tried twice and neither time was conclusive.



kgdabom -> RE: General Gopher Talk (5/21/2017 6:38:19 PM)

Partain hits it hard with runners on 2nd and 3rd but right at the first baseman. Groenewegen works out of a jam. Need a run soon.



twinsfan -> RE: General Gopher Talk (5/21/2017 6:59:30 PM)

2 on, 1 out. Gotta score here.



twinsfan -> RE: General Gopher Talk (5/21/2017 7:00:38 PM)

Alabama brings in their closer. This will be tough.



twinsfan -> RE: General Gopher Talk (5/21/2017 7:06:34 PM)

Crap. Some pretty solid D by Alabama in the 6th. We beez in trouble.



twinsfan -> RE: General Gopher Talk (5/21/2017 7:18:09 PM)

Down to our final out.



twinsfan -> RE: General Gopher Talk (5/21/2017 7:19:46 PM)

OK season. Get 'em next year.



Mr. Ed -> RE: General Gopher Talk (5/21/2017 7:52:32 PM)

zero runs

Allister said they were tentative at the plate

Understatement

Its five channels short of the Ocho.



MarkWren -> RE: General Gopher Talk (5/21/2017 9:40:43 PM)

After yesterday's umpiring & ESPN coverage debacle, I grudgingly checked in to the La Tech game today in the 6th. Only to see the network cut AWAY from our 1-1 nailbiter, loser-go-home game, to watch victory celebrations by other teams in one-sided games!

The Gophers took the lead 2-1 heading into the bottom of the 7th, had 2 outs on La Tech, 0-1 count on the batter. Two strikes away from surviving to take on the Tide once again! Excitement city, right? Guess what happened...yep. They cut away to a celebration. Evidently what happened was a missed 3rd strike by the HP ump, setting the stage for a full-count bomb to RF by their pinch hitter. Tie game. And ESPN missed it! Later they came on and showed the replay of the HR. Crap coverage. Crap umping (so I've read) in the 7th. Again. And again.

I gave up on the whole affair right there. Deleted my recordings, including the one set for the Alabama rematch. Never in my life have I seen such shoddy production.

As for the UM girls, I feel for 'em. The screwing by the NCAA seeding committee added a TON of pressure to the squad, who felt the weight of the world to prove everyone wrong about them & the Big Ten. Hence, the tentative at-bats throughout. Awful ending to a wondrous season. Shame on the NCAA. Shame on ESPN. Both of 'em simply SUCK.



Mr. Ed -> RE: General Gopher Talk (5/22/2017 11:13:33 AM)

While acknowledging 'Bama did them in, U still bitter about not playing at home.

True

But didn't help themselves at all by not scoring in either game vs them.



Mr. Ed -> RE: General Gopher Talk (5/22/2017 11:15:20 AM)

If they play at home, do they play better?

They came out smokin' first game.

Then it all fell apart. Barely made it past LA Tech 2nd time.

Now Groenewegen is done. Real leadership. Will be a different look next year.

Lots of young talent. have to step up.

Lindamann feasted on mediocre pitching. has to figure out how to hit well vs better teams.
