The preseason poll for Horizon League softball is out. Detroit Mercy is projected for 8th place (ten schools compete). Oakland is the favorite. UIC, ineligible to compete in the conference’s tournament, slotted in the #3 position.

Noted temp was 43 degrees at game time… It’s 76 here in Providence. That’s right, I’m at Brown for Womens gymnastics.

The game on Thursday was the first at Buysse field in almost three years. And after disappointing showings in the Carolinas, the team looked passable in the Friday game. (Lost 4-2 in extra innings.) Hitting and fielding much improved. But a really short bench and some holes on the field.

Watched the final inning of todays game vs Western Mich on ESPN+ a few minutes ago. Unfortunately, the Broncos scored 2 runs in the top of 7th to turn a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 victory. Next game on ESPN+ will be vs Green Bay on Friday at 3pm at Buysse Field.

Does that make them 0-22? Good lord, what a train wreck.

Next game on ESPN+ will be vs Green Bay on Friday at 3pm at Buysse Field. Team looks to be really out of shape! One of the girls left over from the NCAA team looked to be about 70lbs. Larger than she did in the NCAA year. I was wondering if a couple of these girls might have just had children. Looked like in their cancellation season they didn’t work on their own just let themselves go. Looked like they were going to beat Western. I did notice they had a Yooper at shortstop and she didn’t look out of shape.

The softball team just lost again Groundhog Day style (now 0-23 on the year) by losing via the Mercy Rule to Green Bay.
Is it possible that the expert marketing folks in the 90s knew that we’d have a historically bad softball team in 2022? Is that why we are “Mercy”?!

I spend most of my time on this board trolling other fans, making fun of our constantly updated logo, trashing the university president & athletic director, executing shitty April Fool’s Day pranks, and starting bogus coaching search rumors. But I draw the line at directly criticizing student athletes (with the lone exception of “real school” Ackerman, who asked for it). Saying these 18-22 year old girls are overweight and “let themselves go” really isn’t cool. Just my opinion.

The Titans softball team split a doubleheader today, got “Mercy’ed” in the first game but then won 4-0 in the late session. Congratulations on getting the W and ending the losing streak. Record is now 1-24.

Congratulations to the women and the coaching team. They have had a tough year with a short bench, injured pitchers, a team that hadn't played a game in about two years (almost three on campus). Still, they came out swinging each game, trying hard, losing a couple of heart-breakers -- and improving game by game.

ROCHESTER, Mich. (4/9/22) - Senior McKenna Tanguay went 1-for-2 with walk while senior Taylor Gauthier and graduate student Leena Mortensen each hit 1-for-3 as Detroit Mercy was blanked 4-0 in the Metro Series opener at Oakland on Saturday afternoon.
The Titans’ record now 1-25.
