What a gutsy performance by Carley in the regional! Pitched arguably 2 of her best games of the season against a very good ULL with an injured knee! Only allowed 2 runs in 2 games! I thoroughly enjoyed watching her!

Unfortunately she is another illegal pitcher (leaps off the ground on every pitch). DVR will be the pitchers and umpires worst nightmare...

Anyone else agree that pitching illegally has reached epidemic proportions, mainly because the umpires refuse to enforce the rules as the pitchers try to gain a competitive advantage. The SEC alone has at least 8 pitchers that either leap, replant, don't start with the stride foot on the pitching plate, or stride outside the 24 inch lane. It has become comical at this point.

Carley has been a trooper this year, as she pitches with a bum knee. At times, she has had trouble getting on and off the field in between innings, let alone pitch. Anyone know what her specific knee injury is, and what is the recovery plan...surgery, rehab, rest???

She took about a 2-week break from pitching at the end of this season. She then pitched great in the SEC tourney and now in the Regional. Looking forward to watching the 6'-2" ace battle Florida St.

Yeah, we noticed that Auburn didn't have the 24 inch lane striped for regionals. it appeared their pitcher was stepping way outside it from the TV angle.

I noticed that she didn't go down as low in the regional. I'm guessing her knee is preventing it.

Hoover's presence on the field is awesome. Love her game-a-tude! Not a fan of the LSU dip (can't remember who, but recently saw another LSU pitcher do the dip...) Gotta wonder if the dip contributed to the injury?

Sydney smith also does the dip but Carley was doing the dip before she transferred to LSU.

I hope she is getting good orthopedic advice so that she doesn't ruin next year by playing on a bad knee when she should shut it down and recover properly.
