Just got shutout on 4 hits by Auburn’s #3 pitcher 3-0 to lose another series. Worse series loss of the year. Auburn is not very good with a lame duck coach who has essentially been fired already.
10-14 SEC record- 9th or 10th place finish. First losing record ever in conference.
Lost 7 of 8 SEC series this year. Only won the one against last place Ole Miss.
Nearly last or bottom 3 in EVERY offensive category during conference games. Watching this team hit is like a root canal. First pitch swinging, going after bad pitches, etc. It is coaching or lack of player development or the kids were never that good.
And all of that falls on Patrick Murphy. Every bit of it.
Again I say all of this with due respect to the accomplishments and history of Alabama softball. It has been phenomenal. But this series loss should knock Alabama out of even hosting a regional for the first time ever. If they sneak in as a 15-16 seed it is laughable.
But Patrick Murphy needs to answer some questions. And no one EVER seems to ask the obvious ones that need to be asked. Never seen him do a press conference after a loss and take any responsibility for failure.
It seems he is protected by the Alabama softball cult due to his past success. It is very strange to see. And ridiculous.
Something needs to change now. AD Byrnes please step up.
