Work. If our team chemistry overall is better, that’s great…it could still be a “shame” that the talented player who left didn’t mesh but we lost that talent I’m not blaming any of our coaches…yes it’s a shame we don’t have a 2nd pitcher with that type of year happening. So maybe it’s better said…It’s a shame she didn’t mesh well with the team chemistry and a “talent LIKE Grein” could make this team elite…but I’ll still say I love this team’s make-up. Hoping that translates to a different stretch run than last year’s stretch if the element who “destroyed the team’s confidence down the stretch” is gone. I hope Pitt wasn’t a red flag for confidence but just a blip I’m not trying to be negative. I’m really not…I’m glad to know the information you shared. I’m glad we have a more cohesive team. Now they need to prove that it’s worth something down the stretch compared to how last year turned out. They need to draw from these positives…they trailed vs Stanford in each game (I believe it was) and won. They trailed in both Pitt games, rallied to tie or lead but just didn’t finish (that’s hard as a road team when home team can really pressure you by taking lead b6 or walking it off in 7th or later) Their response in game 2 after game 1 disappointment was epic. Now they need to use those “SEAL” tips and bring all of that mental toughness to Cali with them. Hope they do…I believe they will. I’m sorry you don’t like my takes but the harsh truth was we were in great position and in about a 26 hr span we lost it. Now it’s our job to recover it. We’re all wanting the same thing…I want them to win…I don’t like rehashing what “could’ve been” They’re 37-7…that’s awfully good. Here’s hoping we see win #40 before this time next week 😎 ** Edited by hokiepro at 4/21/2025, 9:57:58 AM ** Edited by hokiepro at 4/21/2025, 10:20:24 AM
