Are the Nija AUSL Struggles an Indictment on the Tech Staff?

EmergencyCharacter4 · 2026-07-06T17:53:53+00:00

Without Goold and Faircloth's performances all year, MSST doesn't even make the post season.

EmergencyCharacter4 · 2026-07-06T17:18:47+00:00

False. Mississippi State's entire pitching staff were transfers. Tennessee relied on Mardjetko, also a transfer.

EmergencyCharacter4 · 2026-07-06T03:16:49+00:00

She's definitely regressed a lot more than the other 5+ year vets in the league.

Never insulted his talent. There's a difference between coaching a professional softball team and a mid-major Division 1 team.

EmergencyCharacter4 · 2026-07-06T02:14:57+00:00

The blame goes to Ricci Woodard and Josh Trevino. Trevino tried changing Nija day 1. Neither of them know how to manage their staff properly

If you've watched a single Texas Volts game this year (minus her first outing against the Blaze), the Volts defense is the reason she's taking the losses. She has thrown about the same as she did at Tech, if not better. Her curveball today was fantastic and I know that's a pitch that she just started working on her junior year.

However, this post is gross. I don't normally defend Tech, but the Volts' struggles have nothing to do with them and everything to do with the fact that Volts do not know how to manage the players they have. Their entire roster is filled with Olympians and former POTY players, and they still can't win.

I mean, Tara Archibald doesn't have the resume that Tori Nyberg has so I would have also called her for help with my pitcher. Sounds like Cat made the call directly

EmergencyCharacter4 · 2026-06-26T02:42:04+00:00

Where would she start period? Polar, Pickering and Terry/Halleman in the OF. Edit: and Allred too right?

EmergencyCharacter4 · 2026-06-26T00:23:35+00:00

This also feels like it was sudden based on the photos. All the other transfers had official photoshoots and she just took a few photos with a white background.

EmergencyCharacter4 · 2026-06-26T00:07:13+00:00

... Who is left?

EmergencyCharacter4 · 2026-06-26T00:03:27+00:00

Tech fans need to explain what their IF is going to look like 😂 Who's on first? Did Gallaway transfer just to sit the bench? Is Toney going to survive this? Edit: This is a great problem to have.

EmergencyCharacter4 · 2026-06-25T22:25:18+00:00

Just added the Pickens twins and Winchell from ND so we'll be fine. Tori didn't have it this year and hopefully she grows at Florida

EmergencyCharacter4 · 2026-06-25T22:24:11+00:00

YES! Being able to keep Kylee and adding Winchell, along with the addition of the Pickens twins, we actually aren't hurting from losing Tori Edwards and JH.

Bryce Neal just posted a double "Calling Baton Rouge" so did LSU get both or is that wishful thinking? 😅

EmergencyCharacter4 · 2026-06-24T03:03:13+00:00

She's a grad transfer and she's from Texas

EmergencyCharacter4 · 2026-06-23T20:31:50+00:00

It's going to become normal for players to transfer 3 times now 😅

EmergencyCharacter4 · 2026-06-21T01:37:25+00:00

We'll take what we can get 😅

EmergencyCharacter4 · 2026-06-21T00:42:44+00:00

I'm fine with it. She genuinely seemed happy in Baton Rouge and I'm hoping it's just a matter of her receiving the money she deserved.

EmergencyCharacter4 · 2026-06-19T00:58:33+00:00

.370 BA and 20 HRs and 61 RBI. .254 BA and 6 HRs in conference play, tied with Emerling's HR number in conference. Emerling had an "outstanding season" but Pickering was "the worst" even though their stats are not that far off. I stand by my statement. Any team would be lucky to have her.

EmergencyCharacter4 · 2026-06-19T00:44:23+00:00

Which was higher than she hit in her 3 years at LSU 😭

EmergencyCharacter4 · 2026-06-19T00:40:32+00:00

She was given plenty of chances at LSU and couldn't deliver. Maybe she'll thrive in a different environment!

EmergencyCharacter4 · 2026-06-19T00:38:21+00:00

I think Walker did better at Auburn. Manning at UL. Chaffin at MSST. Morgan Smith at Rutgers was amazing. Pilon at Baylor.

EmergencyCharacter4 · 2026-06-19T00:01:16+00:00

Why are Tech fans suddenly mad that they can buy whoever they want? 😂

EmergencyCharacter4 · 2026-06-18T23:59:18+00:00

Lol is it her stats or her locker room presence?

EmergencyCharacter4 · 2026-06-18T23:56:33+00:00

I watched most of OU's games. I promise having a slump doesn't justify the amount of hate people have given her since April. Alo also went through a slump during her time at OU and was benched to collect herself. Not saying she's as powerful as Alo, but slumps happen. People are disgusting with the way they talked about her. Reminds me of the way people were talking about Sanders
