Any word of her returning at all this season?It would be amazing if Tori can recover to where she can swing the bat and give us something in the DP spot, but in the meantime, Dot needs to pull the trigger and give someone else a chance in those 2 positions in the lineup where our hitting has been absolutely woeful.

That falls on the feet of the coaches and their ability to help the hitter make the right adjustments.... or to leave their swings alone and stop trying to change them.I was looking at the season's average of .205, which is pretty bad, and she is 5th in RBI's not third, even though she bats behind the Bishops. I think Deidre deserves a shot. She has been more effective. .306 BA and only one less HR in a fraction of the ABs.

Does anyone know much about her other than she pitched at LCA her freshmen year?Ever since We hired Dot as our coach, I've been waiting for her to land that virtually unhitable ace pitcher who could elevate us to the next level. It doesn't look like it has happened yet.

Hopefully with her height and her arm she can power past BSC hitters but may still be a struggle with ranked/P5 schools. I'm hoping she is at least a replacement for DiMartino who will keep us competitive. I think the two other recruits may get playing time on day 1.Chippy wrote:Any thoughts about the new pitcher we signed.
