Another garbage season of Glenn Moore Softball is underway. His style of ball is so damn outdated.

Losing 0-10 to open the season at home smh

The new Ad may have to just drain the swamp in nearly all sports to get things respectable again.

Softball overall has been in tailspin for awhile. They did have the outlier season where they made Supers. But it reminds me a lot of Arandas squads. The steady march towards the basement. Moore's style is just so damm outdated and has been for years

I am sorry...who run ruled us?

Mississippi state. I think they are #24 or 25.

Two walk off wins yesterday. First game beat New Mexico 8-7 on a walkoff homer by Tovan (her 2nd HR of the game; Waddell also hit a HR). Followed by a walkoff win over Wichita St 3-2 after going to the 7th down 2-0.

Another walkoff win over Wichita St on Saturday, 9-8

Does anyone know Matt Roberts? I assume he writes for the official website. His writeup of this came has significant errors in the first 3 sentences. Do website articles have editors or proof-readers like old fashioned print media used to? Co better.

9-1 run rule win over NWSt today to close out the Getterman Classic

10-2 run rule win over S. Dakota St in the latest acton. Amber Toven continues to be on a tear; she went 2 for 4 with a Grand Slam HR and 5 RBI in the win.

Now 7-2 after wins over San Diego State and Oregon State yesterday. Looks like Tennessee transfer Peyton Tanner will be our #1 pitcher. She was the 4th ranked high school recruit nationally in the class of 2024 but couldn't break into the lineup last year for a top 5 Tennessee team.

Good to see this years team is hitting HR's at a much better clip than last year, that's been lacking. In all of last season (54 games) BU hitters only hit 25 HR. So far this year (9 games) they've got 8 HR. The bombers are Toven, Cran, Waddell and new freshman 1B Marshall.

Very early but doesn't appear like a Garbage Season yet. 9 wins, 2 losses one of which was ranked. The team is very young with loads of sophs and newbies. 4 hrs with Tovan the leader. Carter very hot. 4 young pitchers, 3 sophs and a jr.

10-2 with 3 huge games upcoming. Time to beat a team worth a crap this weekend

2 games await against a ranked Clemson. Moore needs to find a way to win at least one of these.

Explain that statement to me..MUST, why?

Crap recognizes crap!

Because beating the sisters of the blind proves nothing. At least to me. Baylor softball like every other major sports team at BU is in decline. The 10-2 record was fools gold aided by weak scheduling. Baylor's played 2 good teams. And don't have bent Baylor over and had their way

You must be on the young side of age?

Not sure what my age has to do with anything. Baylor has played 3 ranked teams (Clemson twice) and scored a whopping 0 runs. That's unacceptable imo. I'm sure we all have different ideas of what is/isn't acceptable within a program. So if someone finds not being competitive against anyone with a pulse as acceptable fair enough.
But yes, I'm probably what you'd define as on the younger side

So, does every team have the same measures for success ? If so, what are the criteria?

Am I allowed to have my opinion or not? You seem to think I'm not allowed to an opinion because I'm not old enough. If your idea of being successful is getting outscored 20 something to 0 by the only 3 teams we've played with a pulse then more power to you.
Clearly my definition of successful varies among the different sports at BU

I'm mixed so far with what I've seen. Losing in shut out fashion to the ranked teams is bad (esp. the season opener) but at least the last game was mostly competitive (BU was in the game, 3-0 final, just never converted the opportunities they had to score while Clemson did). I don't think its the end of the world because they lost (its early, its non-conf, and they're hopefully learning what players/lineups work best). Like I've said over & over on here, unless you've got an elite stud pitcher you're not gonna win championships or go to the WCWS. Baylor added 2 pretty good pitchers this season, but they're not elite. Based on this (or what we know) the bad news is the schedule has series with Arizona, Tech, and OSU (2 of the 3 on the road) and also a pair with UT and a game vs Aggy. You've got to assume that's at least 10 more losses and maybe more. The good news is all the other games still on the schedule are winnable (about 28 games). The key to having the most success they can will be 1). not screwing up & losing to a midweek patsy and 2). winning the series against the other conf teams that are fighting in the middle of the pack with BU (ISU, UCF) while sweeping the series vs teams supposedly below BU (KU, Utah, UH). Those 5 conf series will be critical. In my mind they've got to win 4 of those series. I think they've shown enough so far to say they are better than last season, at least marginally, but they need to improve over the course of the season and win the key games/series that they've been losing in recent seasons in order to have what could be considered a 'good' season.


Sic'em Bears!

Sure you are allowed to but you should be able to justify statement if challenged or disputed. If you do not wish to
respond so be it.

Remember if you don't pitchers you cannot win unless you have elite hitters. Presently we do not have either of these needs. This is not a criticism just a fact. We have four pitchers, 3 sophs and 1 jr. None of these have any experience at this level even though 2 came from good or great programs, Tenn. and Az St. Our time will come and to some degree later in the season and for sure in the future depending on whether we can retain existing players from the portal. We have a total of $200,000 settlement money and no NIL. Out hitting has vastly improved and I believe we can hold this level if not improve with some of the younger players.

What?

You haven't challenged or disputed anything I've said. You've been playing 20 questions. Unless you're trying to convince me that asking my age is somehow challenging my opinions.
My guess is that you probably largely agree with my general statement which is that this team simply isn't competitive with teams that have a pulse.

Took care of Sam Houston tonight 6-3

Your original statement was on Feb. 5. Based on what..one game? "Another garbage season". Where is the logic of that statement. That is why it is juvenile.

And by seasons end I'll be right. Another garbage season. When you're as uncompetitive as Baylor has been against competitive teams the writing is on the wall. If I'm wrong I'll eat crow gladly. But I think most who actually watch realize this team sucks. And stacking wins against the sisters of the poor doesn't change that.

I am not disputing you about the record. I have indicated why the program is hampered by recruiting. Check my previous comments. I have not challenged you about the record, simply how you arrived to the conclusion.

Conclusion is more based on what we see every year. This team really just does not compete against most teams they play with a pulse. I've been adamant for awhile now that Moore's small ball approach is incredibly outdated. That style of play used to work wonders. After all, look at all the success Baylor had using that style. It just doesn't work in a day & age of dominate pitching

Disagree.
