Wasn't there some discussion of Kennedy tipping pitches in last year's regional too?

Also, seems like an easy fix today if we had noticed it.

edit: the filters here don't like the accounts name are are filtering it out. It is @Tewks Hitting (but without the space). Leaving out the space apparently creates a filter problem here.

But here is the comment:

Auburn Softball has their pitching coach in the 3B coaching box to pick pitches from that vantage point. Relaying signs, hitters getting good swings off.

It's wild how obvious it is, but I don't hate it.

Yes and the tv announcer said that auburns dugout would get louder when they knew we were gonna throw a change up

If this is true, then our coaches are responsible for getting this fixed pronto

I'm sure you can go back and hear the answers say…it was something to the effect of….. I think they have it, when she throws a change up the auburn dugout chant or whatever they are saying would get louder… then our pitchers pitched…( forgot who was pitching at the time ) and we throw a change up and the announcers are like see they ( Auburn) has her pitch

Top of the 3rd. The pitching coach is sent out to coach 3rd and he is literally flashing numbers at the dugout. They are then yelling the batters name for fastball and number for changeup.

This is a huge difference in Softball/baseball. A couple of guys would have gotten ear-holed for this in baseball.

Yessir wouldn't fly in baseball … ( just ask the astros) but seriously I would have thought Ford or someone would have picked up on that?!

Look at the lengths the Astros went to hide it. They didn't want anyone to know they were doing it and they were flat out cheating using cameras in the outfield. This was just out there in the open for everyone to see.

Who says they didn't? What is there to do other than to talk to the pitchers and tell them to watch their pre-pitch routine and try to keep it consistent. I am sure its something they work on throughout the year but obviously something went unnoticed/unseen.

If we are talking about it, I hope that our coaches are aware of it, too. Surely they are??!!

Kate has looked good in middle relief last few outings.

Is Florida also tipping pitches or is maybe the Auburn team just swinging the bat well right now. They have scored 8 through 6 innings.

They are playing for their postseason lives and its showing. The first half of our game was about tipping pitches. The 7th inning was about guts and fight.

Came up short but they went down swinging.

Awful loss.
We know they'll stick us in Austin b/c it's funny and just typical how A&M gets stuck in the eye.

Can't be in an SEC school regional.

I meant super regional but it won't matter we don't have the pitching. Our lineup has a bunch of holes.

cheer up. folks OU going home too if UGA can holding for 2 innings. WELLS not due up in 6th.
Why ? they don't have pitching either, I suppose. I don't know where our girls will end up next week, but i faith in them.

Oh yeah? Please tell us about all these holes in the lineup ranked in the top 6 in the SEC in practically every offensive category.

3 outs and okies go home. ( wells 3rd up)

This year's tournament has been crazy, but that is why you play the games.

top seed has only won 9 of 19 if you believe everything Beth says.

I know losing 2 series and the opening game doesn't help our cause, but our program is still one of the elite programs in the national scene. TCOB where ever we land in Rd 1, and
win 2 of 3 to go to the WCWS. easy peasy

She's done ! Pouter!

So the 1, 5 & 6 seeds all lost their first game.

And the 3 seed barely won their first game 10-9.

The SEC is crazy deep.

FIFY

Stanford lost 9-0 today to FSU. That might push us back up to #16 RPI. Also #16 on diamond sports, and likely 14-16 range in major polls leading into Sunday selections.

Will be interesting…
- SEC will have 12 teams, likely 8-9 hosts (I don't think Miss State will host)
- SEC - does Tenn drop out of top 8? It feels like maybe only 5 in top 8 now
- SEC - where do they put LSU? How hurt is Edwards? Seems Aggies and LSU on bubble for hosting seed
- Texas Tech gets top 8 seed with conf champ win?
- UCLA or Oregon get last top 8 seed? (Unless Tenn still gets it)
