Softball 2026-expectations?

BTW, they hit 60 all of last year. I’m sure someone will “as he said about Dabo for football” will fly in here and dog Murphy once again.

Did we upgrade our hitting coach?

18 home runs over 5 games? I would say yes.

It's the same guy but maybe he went to Hitting Coach Camp in Oklahoma over the summer.

Alabama hit 18 home runs this weekend over 5 games. I think the slap hitting days are over. Hell, there was a freshman that hit 4 this weekend. Bama’s #1 pitcher was limited to a couple of innings. Freshman and one other was in the circle. Keep on complaining.

Note that I'm complaining about the past, not the present.

As I stated, we're off to a good start. We've done that for several years now, but have faded badly in the conference. After seeing that happen consistently for some time, I need to see proof that there's really a change.

I watched both Georgia Tech games. I was encouraged with the power I saw. Not just HRs but also doubles and triples. As others have pointed out, we'll have to wait and see what we do when we play stiffer competition. I think we play Purdue twice, Liberty twice and Ga Southern once this weekend. Have no idea how good they are but FSU should be a test in a couple weekends.

So far so good this weekend. Not hitting as many homers but still scoring runs and the pitching has been great. It seems like the new starters like Moten, Young, Wells, and Roman have been great additions. Liberty is supposed to be better competition than last weekend's opponents but they are off to a slow start.

Two big games against FSU this weekend. Now we will find out how we stack up.

I’m definitely surprised by the FSU game. 8-0, 3 hit shutout.

Yep. They’re pretty good.
