Maybe that's BECAUSE the pitching is elite?I think she struggles with the inside pitch, and has some really bad at bats against elite pitching.
Lauren burke is the hottest hitter on the team right now. I wouldn't be surprised to see her moved to the lead off position this week. Although Jefferson is batting very well this season, its just something about her in the leadoff spot that doesn't look or feel right. She is better in the 2nd position.1) Pleased with the play of the team against a top 10 opponent. Facing two good pitchers who were "on" and still grinding out some runs was good.
2) Elish and O'Leary both just happened to run into a slugger who came out of her recent hitting slump. She was the only one who had the muscle to power the ball into a stiff wind and over the fence
3) O'Leary looking the best all year
4) Box score shows that "Rhodes doubled to left field, RBI" to score the second run in the second game, but c'mon it was a dropped ball! Stat padding?
5) Box score also doesn't show 3 LA standing around on a high foul back behind the plate watching the ball drop between them. Their coach was MAD!
6) Burke, on a hot streak - everyone else, not so much
I think you may be right about Jefferson. I was saying, "Mike needs to move Jenae to the top of the order because she's consistently getting on". Then he does it for the Louisiana game and suddenly, it seemed not to work out. Of course, it could be that she faced two elite pitchers. I think Jefferson at the #2 spot gives Mike better options. But on the other hand, sometimes Jefferson starts out with 1 out when she comes up to bat, so it limits options with her too.Lauren burke is the hottest hitter on the team right now.

If people didn't struggle against it, it wouldn't be elite in the first place.
100% agree! I don’t like Rhodes leading off either.. I like this
Burke RF
Jefferson 2B
Elish P
Rhodes CF
Iakopo 3B
Sullivan 1B
Day DP Slack
Ellsworth C
Hathaway LF
—Washington PH, her defense is gonna cost us at some point.
and her fielding is little league...How do you let a ball roll between your legs playing RF as a college player ???? SMDHI don't know if we really need Washington's bat more than as a pinch hitter. I think she struggles with the inside pitch, and has some really bad at bats against elite pitching.
That's what I was thinking. Iakopo is a really good 3rd baseman. She has made amazing plays and has a rocket arm. If we can just cut down on errors then we truly can go all the way.Iakopo has made some nice grabs at third and Jefferson will come around. Washington is the only real issue
If we play well we are surely a WCWS team this year if we don't run into a buzzsaw of a team that happens to get hot at the right time. Hopefully we will be THAT team that gets hot when it matters.That's what I was thinking. Iakopo is a really good 3rd baseman. She has made amazing plays and has a rocket arm.
