Thursday is a doubleheader so two starters.
Lefty and Sidne are starters. Good chance we will see them start the two games. One of the great posters on this board recently suggested that Sidne can be better than Lefty when she is on. I strongly agree with this assesment. When they are both on we will have an awesome one two punch for the first two games of series.
Leavitt started about half of the games she appeared in last year. A third the year before. Lessentine started at least one game in Fall ball. Might see one of them start on Thursday but more than likely on Friday, a single game. But Coach Ford may, of course, mix it up!
Grace was generally a reliever at Ole Miss. How will Coach use her? Probably in relief.
No idea how Coach plans to play the remaining freshmen (start vs relief or combo). It is one of the things I have really been looking forward to finding out !!
Saturday is also a doubleheader. Will we see the same starters as on Thursday or will we see Coach mix it up, perhaps starting a freshman or two?
Taylor Brown had a huge number of strikeouts and a very, very low number of walks in HS. If she has kept this up in practice she might be used as a closer a lot but might even get several starts this year. If she is as dominating in college use her as both. If not this year, in the future. She has the potential to be an All American in the future, maybe even several years, as do several of our freshman class (all positions).
On that note, some of you may have noticed I am really excited about our freshman class, since the day they all signed. They have a chance to go down as one of the greatest classes in Aggie history. And there HAVE been some great ones so that is saying a lot !!
Gosh, first pitch only two days away. After waiting since the super regionals last year for opening day I am really, really ready !!
Gig 'Em !!!!!!!!!
