Softball, yes, looks like we are soft

[puddin tane]

Ladies off to a wonderful 0-5 start. Outscored 33-2. Team era almost 9.00. Opponents era .58

[puddin tane]

7 games. Outscored 50-4.

But we are still up on ACU in the 6th.

This is one of just a few chances at not starting the season 0-18.

[puddin tane]

11 seconds, you've got 10 seconds, the countdown going on right now! Morrow, up to Silk. Five seconds left in the game. Do you believe in miracles? YES!



ladies win!

[puddin tane]

Ladies do a Bad News Bears in the bottom of 7th. Lose to utsa

[lamarfan360]

Unbelievable, they blew a 5 run lead with 2 out in the bottom of the 7th inning.

So much of softball is about pitching and Lamar didn't have enough last year and so far, doesn't appear to have it this year either.

hooks has had plenty of time to get an arm here. I think aresco is pitching coach. He needs to work some magic. Our 5th year senior has an era over 14. Our tranfer from Charlotte has an era over 7.

yes, some of that is playing teams wayyyyyy out of our league. Todays thrashing was at the hands of ACU

[geezer]

Softball got its second win on Sunday 11-7 versus UTSA. Lamar plays two games Tuesday at SFA before going for another weekend of higher tier competition.

[geezer]

Cardinals split their doubleheader with SFA. Maybe their not quite as soft as first appeared, but pitching is still suspect.

[puddin tane]

Ladies travel to Florida for tourney, thru Saturday, 0 and 4, outscored 30-3, outhit 44-14

2 losses to number 6 Florida State. 2 blowouts to teams that shouldnt blow us out, Troy and FGCU

[puddin tane]

Played Tarelton. Lost. We stink.

[geezer]

Ladies win two games today against a similar level of competition. The Lamar program needs to get much better and should not be satisfied with less than Southland championships.

if they dont win 4 games this weekend, Hooks should get the hook

[geezer]

if they dont win 4 games this weekend, Hooks should get the hook
Probably should get the hook at the end of the year regardless, but with Lamar's history of coaching hires it can get worse.

i mean on the way home

[geezer]

Softball finishes the weekend with a 2-0 win over UTA and win four of five games. Lamar plays at Sam Houston Wednesday, before beginning conference play Friday at Northwestern State.

[geezer]

Lamar falls in mid-week game with Sam Houston. Ladies will open conference play this weekend, so we will quickly find out if the tough non-conference schedule helps or if the pitching is just not good enough yet.

[puddin tane]

Cards drop two to sela. Good news, we out hit them both games. Bad new, along with getting smacked, LU left a total of 17 runners on base.

gal pitched a decent first game. The entire pitching staff sucked game 2.

And the errors. Do we practice?

slow and unathletic

[puddin tane]

And the announcer was turrible!

[puddin tane]

Ladies won 3rd game 6-2. Ruiz pitched awesome game.
3-3 in conference.

dan gresham is turrible, just turrible

[lamar1]

Southern 2 Lamar 1

Can it get worse?

[puddin tane]

Southern 2 Lamar 1

Can it get worse?

i think a loss like this is ground for immediate termination.

[geezer]

Ladies fall 5-4 in eight innings at Nicholls in Game 1 of the weekend series. Can't blame it all on pitching but Lamar pitching isn't keeping the other schools off base.

[lamarfan360]

Agree, but the crazy thing is LU best pitcher has set a record for most career strikeouts.

[geezer]

Nicholls game two, Lamar wins 10-0 by run rule in five innings.

[geezer]

As a fifth year senior, she has enough innings pitched to set a record.

ruiz pitched another good game today, but our offense suckkkks!

them 1
us 0

[puddin tane]

Well, weve played the top four teams in slc softball. Bunch of weeziana skools full of texans. Hooks better damn near run the tables on our fellow texas bottom feeder skools or pack her bags.

this team has alot of experience, aint a bunch of freshmen. Disappointing to say the least. Team batting average around 240, era around 5 .

[lamarfan360]

Coach Hooks is in her 5th year. There should be improvement from her first couple of years. Personally, I see the same problems from year 1 and 2. If Lamar is having financial problems as another thread posted by coachacola suggest and she is still under contract there probably will not be a coaching change. If her contact expires, I expect to see a new head coach for the softball program next year.

well, she did inhert a mess. But its been 5 years

In her favor

played a beastly ooc schedule, leading to higher era and lower batting avg.
i think the ladies have a pretty good GPA and are active in the community.
they hustle and dont quit


Not in her favor

lost to southern
wants to play long ball. Lu field is deep. Not a good park for dingers
lost to southern
recruiting skill is suspect
lost to southern


maybe they are all walkons? Then shes coach of the year.
