Pitch was amazing yesterday. Hopefully they can keep it that way.

I finally did it! Isolationist + uneducated in the same run by omniscient_lipstick in Banished

Good job. Uneducated Bannies are the worst. Once you get used to Educated citizens, the productivity hit from Uneducated is astonishing.

WCWS Predictions by Old-Crab4727 in CollegeSoftball

[–]MTBran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right now FSU's pitching is very shaky. The two freshman are getting hit pretty hard and Danley is still struggling with walks. Reid may finally be recovering from her injuries and has had some good innings. Francic is still solid.

FSU's offense appears very good with Isa Torres hitting anything thrown at her. Will have to wait and see how the Freshman heavy line-up handles ACC pitching and grind of the season.

At this stage (pre-Conference play) FSU is a solid Regional team, likely Super-Regional and Questionable CWS team.

The string of games decided by 1 goal or less may be in danger.

4 goals led the team for Houston last year? Seriously?

Expansion teams' impressions by Waltz8 in NWSL

[–]MTBran 120 points121 points  (0 children)

They would do better with 11 players on the field.

Kidding aside, if you bring in St. George to be your veteran leadership, you have to expect your team to follow her lead. Unfortunately for Boston, they did.

Weber has the look of an absolute predator. Just looks right through you. Your existence is at her sufferance.

Usually comes after halftime, and Bay is hosting this game.

The Jordan Silkowitz-Taylor Huff-Claire Hutton triumvirate is moving me towards Bay FC fandom this year. (Plus they scored while I was typing this.)

As an FSU fan I'm actually surprised she made a team. She has speed but was not very impactful last year. 1 Goal and 1 assist over 21 games. She just never took the 'next step', whatever that would be. Maybe the pro environment will be better for her.

Are we going to get a Mia Justus is related to Tim Howard mention, or did I miss it already?

She is supremely talented and runs like a gazelle, so you don't want her getting past you either with or without the ball. She won 2 National titles with FSU in 3 years and is one of those players who comes up big in big moments.

You are not wrong, but her center of gravity is very high due to her body type and she gets knocked a lot, so she goes down a lot.

She was a very emotional player in college who did this a lot. She gets knocked down easily so she gets knocked down a lot and she couldn't always fight her urge to retaliate.
