Appreciate the fight. Having said that the season was a disappointment. Should’ve never have been a 16 seed but we did that to ourselves by playing sloppy ball since fsu. The team never regained its confidence and thereby we put ourselves in the worst spot to advance to OKC which was the standard this year. They fell short. Again they fought hard vs Oklahoma which is admirable but they positioned themselves poorly. This team should’ve had an easier run for themselves but they blew it

Yea 49-11 is underachieving. Losing to the best team in the country is underachieving. Half of your losses were to teams who hosted super regionals is underachieving. Be logical. Most of the losses came later in the season. Maybe it’s because we are a 4th year program and are trying to figure out a balance to not be so fatigued at the end of the year. And watching Oklahoma they didn’t look like the well oil machine they normally are. You could see fatigue in them, but they just used muscle memory. They have been there many times before. We are still figuring it out. The team isn’t taking any moral victories. It’s us the fans that are to ease the pain of loss. They had a great year. That’s not a moral victory that is just a fact.

This team is a fighter. Rittman found very good transfer players to get better. However, as we saw yesterday the program needs a second elite pitcher and a couple more athletic hitters. As we also saw late this season, Cagle’s ability to strike out hitters is not what it was before the shoulder injury. I hope this off season she can work on an additional changeup type pitch. Remember she basically no offseason development due to the surgery. In atleast 3 or 4 of the critical losses (Liberty, VT, Oklahoma), she had the hitter on the ropes and couldn’t generate the knock out. Nonetheless, this was a great season and should help with the needed recruiting. Playing against the Sooners should be a big help for McCubbin in her development. Excited to see how much she will improve.

You obviously missed the entire point where it wasn’t losing to Oklahoma that was the problem. It was us positioning ourselves to where we had to face them was the problem. Before the season, Rittman told the girls we were going to the World Series and we didn’t so by the teams standards it was a disappointment. These aren’t just my words.

You act like Rittman has divine authority. How exactly could he “guarantee” to his team they would play in OKC? Yes, he brought in transfer players to help shore up defense. He was patient to see how Cagle would recover from surgery, but nothing was guaranteed. Bottomline, this team needs more athletic players with hitting skills like the Sooners to actually win like a top 5 program. Right now they aren’t a top 5 program and that’s ok for 3 full seasons of play.

I agree with all of that. I didn’t say he did have Devine authority 😂 it’s a simple goal set by the team and when it’s not reached it’s disappointing. That’s all

If losing in the super regionals to the #1 team at their place is disappointing for you perhaps college sports are not for you. We did have a late season slump at the plate but that is not uncommon. No bad losses and a great season. Perhaps something like corn hole would be a sport you could better understand.

Just like the other idiot, I’ll say to you, it’s not about losing to Oklahoma. We fought hard. It was the terrible ball we played leading up to the tourney that positioned us poorly. This team should’ve been a national seed or at least a 10 seed. We played bad ball for a month which put us in this position to have to beat the best there is. Work on your reading comprehension bozo

We played terrible at the end of the season? How so? We did not lose to a single bad team. Sure we had a slump at the plate but that happens in sports. Perhaps you can stop with the name calling to cover up your insecurity. BTW the goal is to win a championship, not just to reach series. I am sure you would have been equally disappointed had we made he series and lost in an early round.

BTW what is your original name before you created this one?

It's obvious that it's you that doesn't understand.
For a team this tough to accomplish what they did this year is phenomenal.
I watched every game.All of the wins and loses. These girls never gave up they were never a disappointment. They just went toe to toe with a team that over half of them are over 5'11" and look like Mark McGuire. If you don't think this team put a bit of a scare in OU and earned nationwide respect them as someone said you might want to reserve your comments for the corn hole tour.
Go Tigers. Thank you for a great season.

When the team says their goal is OKC and actually mean it, (Obviously that’s every teams goal) what does that mean when they fall short? “Disappointment”

True. On seed up or down makes a huge difference. The late season slide cost this team a trip to WS. They could have beaten any other team in the Super Regionals. Oklahoma will prove to be a bridge too far for everyone else before its over as well.

I’m sure the team is disappointed. They wanted to make it to the WCWS and in fact that was the primary reason at least 1 of the transfers came to Clemson. They absolutely controlled their own destiny during the season but things happen. They got the draw they got and made the most of it. I doubt there were many people outside of the team that believed they could play with OU. Obviously we aren’t quite to their level talent and depth wise but they are on their way.

The biggest thing I’ve noticed from the regional and super-regional is they are playing more cohesively and with more team driven leadership (something that was sorely lacking earlier this season). That will take them a long way if they build on it. I can’t wait to see what they look like in the fall and next season.

Clemson women’s softball wrapped up their 4th season with 49 wins. Oklahoma women’s softball started their team in 1975. I am proud of the first 4 years of our Women’s Softball Team. They ended their season against a long established program. Even though they lost I see a great future for the Lady Tigers. Most start up programs do not have the success the Lady Tigers have had over the first 4 years of the program. The coaching and players should receive nothing but praise for the success on the field, success in recruiting top players and they have represented Clemson University with Class !

I do not understand how anyone could criticize the Lady Tigers softball program with so many accomplishments and obstacles their overcame to achieve such success in just 4 years.

Cagle has said she’s playing her 5th season. So unless she transfers, she will be playing in a Tiger uniform.
