There’s a rumor going around that Palacios and Meono are both entering the transfer portal.

That would suck.

What would be the source of dissatisfaction? Has NIL money drifted into softball at some schools?
This would absolutely suck.

Re: 2023 Season Thread
And here it is.
Re: 2023 Season Thread
I really wish Toven had not transferred to Baylor, she would of replaced Meono. Dakota Kennedy is a stud and will most likely be in the starting line-up next year.

This portal things sucks.
I’m being selfish and not considering the athletes at all. But I don’t know any of them so I only care about how it affects me.

Re: 2023 Season Thread
Why would Toven, an infielder, replace Meono an outfielder? Kennedy will start in CF now. Either Pacho or Dinardo at C.

My bad, for some reason I thought Toven would be playing the outfield since Lowe is sticking with Carrol, which I do not know why. I am looking forward to watching Dakota. She has power and is an exceptional defensive player. I like that she is a left-handed hitter, so Lowe could possibly go righty, lefty, righty, lefty or the other way around with the power hitters.
If Izzy plays some games at catcher, I would think Lowe would go with Biringer at third. Of course we will have to wait until the roster is finalized since I would assume they are looking at the transfer portal.

Re: 2023 Season Thread
What's going on here? Are these transfers because of NIL deals or are these athletes dissatisfied with Lowe and company? Is the Tucson media providing any insight?

Re: 2023 Season Thread
The destruction of the Pac has been such a big story that this has gotten lost in the shuffle in Tucson. Would also like to know what exactly happened here.Carcassdragger wrote: ↑Sun Jul 03, 2022 11:01 am What's going on here?

Doing a search to see if I can see what's going on. Can't find anything, but this didn't age well.

New transfer pitcher from Princeton.
Re: 2023 Season Thread
I lived in Princeton N.J. for a short time after UofA. What an amazing little town. The university speaks for itself. Ali must have had a compelling reason to leave.

Re: 2023 Season Thread
It'd be nice if some press organization actually would do some actual work on this and look into the how and why.

Re: 2023 Season Thread
I agree. I know the local media cares more about football right now, but this is bizarre as all hell and we want to know what happened.

Re: 2023 Season Thread
We all want the inside story! YES!!!
But, is it really any more complicated than two top players jumping to a team that already has great pitching?? Any more than wanting to go deep in the WCWS??

Re: 2023 Season Thread
Can't find information anywhere about the girls' double header yesterday. Scores, who played (who didn't play), who pitched, who hit what, etc. Can anyone here help?
Re: 2023 Season Thread
I found this on Facebook comments. I have no verification if they are true:
Score of either game did the wildcats win both?
yes.
16-0
13-0
Both in 5
Weird that there is nothing on arizonawildcats.com

Re: 2023 Season Thread
Cats up 7-1 in the top of the 4th. I like that Lowe is letting Netz hit/pitch and having Biehl just play the field.

Re: 2023 Season Thread
I find it interesting that they're dominating the competition basically without the longball at all.
Re: 2023 Season Thread
Silva making the start today. Even though Hardy gave up one run in two innings yesterday, I liked that she struck out 5 batters.

Re: 2023 Season Thread
Only two of the six runs for FSU were earned. I liked how the Cats scratched back after being down 6-0. It looks like Lowe is going to be using Silva a lot, especially if she continues to pitch well.

Re: 2023 Season Thread
Allie Skaggs needs to scrap her new batting stance, it has absolutely destroyed her batting. Cats going to get swept today.
Re: 2023 Season Thread
Cats down 2-0 in the top of the 7th and Netz ties it up.

Arkansas gets a run in the bottom of the 7th to win 3-2.
