I was replying to a poster that put up NCAA hitting stats vs. the 2021 national teams, namely JapanCompletely missed the point…
“Hell I would EVEN take Team Canada or Japan…”
seriously? Gold and Bronze medal teams for their nation at the Olympics and you would “EVEN” consider them over a NCAA team?
Indeed, the US national team… and EVEN the Canada and Japan national teams. See what I’m getting at ?I was replying to a poster that put up NCAA hitting stats vs. the 2021 national teams, namely Japan
Maybe your not salty you just have a reading comprehension issue. ..Team USA did not have its best players there or it would have been a different result.
Hashed and rehashed on this site and many others.
We got what we deserved. We had a head coach who has never won anything with his college team. Had a hitting coach that put out a real cool dvd but whose teams never really did much. The selection committee put together a team that was not up to it. If these jokers had Crystl Bustos show up to the trials in her prime they would have passed on her. Then we showed up and sleep walked through the Games thinking we could score a run here or there and go home and film commercials with their gold medals around their necks.
It was arrogant and we deserved to lose, despite Osterman and Abbot.
Hitters hit. You don’t pick players that can’t hit and “work real hard on hitting” and magically make a hitter where there wasn’t one before. At the got dayum OLYMPIC GAMES.
Come to think of it, maybe some guy on the internet who had a notion that the split grip could solve all our problems is better than what we had.
I told you I was salty. I wasn’t kidding.
Ha,Covering ground that’s already been covered. I’ll take a pass, thanks.
You should have showed up here a couple weeks ago when people wanted to talk about this.
Or maybe in 2010 when this thread started.
