Re: Fall Ball
Terps dominated Duke on Saturday. By more than 10.
Re: Fall Ball
USC also beat Notre Dame. But it is just fall ball after all.

Re: Fall Ball
Terps are going to be really good. They really took advantage of the transfer portal.
Re: Fall Ball
Putting much stock in fall ball results is a fools errand. While they may have easily beaten Duke they have struggled against lesser teams this fall as well. Not that they won't be good this year but fall ball is never an indicator of what will happen come spring.
Re: Fall Ball
Cordingley was a good get, but I am not sure that I would say they (terps) are going to be really good based on Fall Ball. I agree with the fools errand comment. What I saw against Loyola would make me disagree with you.

Re: Fall Ball
Although suffolk posted under the Fall Ball topic, he didn't mention fall ball, but the transfer portal as the sole reason for his optimism. As to whether or not the Terps will be really good in 2022, you know what the Zen master says...hmmm wrote: ↑Wed Oct 20, 2021 4:08 pmPutting much stock in fall ball results is a fools errand.

Re: Fall Ball
Transfers contributing big time for the TERPS, but in the games I saw, biggest issue is the defense. Let’s not forget that Dook is a perennial underachiever and Reese is UMD’s ace in the hole. I am very interested to see what kind of magic she can work by the time 2022 kicks off.

Re: Fall Ball
I’m inclined to agree with you on Reese but one never knows. The game may be passing her by. Her teams were mediocre in 2020 and 2021. As other(s) have stated, hitting the portal as hard as she did speaks to a lack of harvest from previous years of recruiting. That’s on Reese ultimately. I’m not saying Reese has lost her fastball or is in the process of losing it—but she may be in the early stages... We shall see and time will tell.watcherinthewoods wrote: ↑Thu Oct 21, 2021 8:02 am Transfers contributing big time for the TERPS, but in the games I saw, biggest issue is the defense.

Re: Fall Ball
Ummmm…ok. Passed her by? That’s just ridiculous. No one bats 100%.

Re: Fall Ball
Correct—No one bats 100% (it’s actually 1000% in baseball lingo but I’m quoting) and no coach is exempt from having the game pass them by. In one way or another, it happens to them all.Bart wrote: ↑Thu Oct 21, 2021 8:29 amUmmmm…ok. Passed her by? That’s just ridiculous. No one bats 100%.

Re: Fall Ball
Don't know what it is with you folks and your all and never stuff.
The game never passed Simmons Jr by, he just decided to retire to pursue other interests, and I watched a couple of his fall ball scrimmages and thought those teams would win the title and they did.

Don't know about baseball, would rather have my nether regions waxed than have to watch that sport. Did not know the rules of mathematics did not apply to it.

As to your other statement. I still find it rather assinine. Game must be moving warp speed or perhaps Coach Reese hit her head. The game may be passing her by in a mere 2 years since she won the natty...... even suggest she may be some early stage? Don't pass the smell test.

Reese won a national championship in 2019—is that your argument? What other proof do you offer that Reese still has it? (Not that I said she doesn’t, mind)
Re: Fall Ball
Does hardly ever make you feel better? All coaches approach fall ball differently. Not like you're watching 1s vs 1s most of the time.
