You are missing the fact that if her 4 FULL years are put next to the records, she would still break them. Itās actually 4 and a half seasons, by the way, not five. The 2020 spring seasons were cut short.
I donāt recall any of the players whose offensive records she is breaking throw out runners attempting to steal as a catcher one game and next game throw out a runner
trying to advance on a fly out as a right fielder , either.
If she deserves an asterisk, its because she has had an actual coach over the last four years, as opposed to what previous players didnāt have.
No idea wtf that is supposed to mean as it relates to my point.
Againā¦Boo is arguably the greatest softball player to ever suit up as a Niner. LOVE her and everything about her.
But she passed the school RBI record earlier this yearā¦in her 5th yearā¦
She is currently 1 hit away from breaking the school record for hitsā¦again, in her 5th year.
For the records she is breaking in year 5ā¦the girls whose records she is breaking set those records in 4 years.
Just seems like a distinction should be made. It really shouldnāt be that hard to understand.
Thereās always that one guy right? I remember metro complaining when Aaron Bray broke the school hits record because we played in the A-10.
Softball season was cut in March 2020 after only 1 conference series, only 20 or so games in. She is just now getting close to the number of games she would have had if 2020 hadnāt been wiped out. Haley Pace played in 198 games. She has the hits record. Vannoy has now played 206.
People get medical redshirts all the time after playing games in the season they get hurt in. This is no different. Those stats count.
Vannoy is going to get about 20 games more but she had already passed most of the career records in roughly 3.5 seasons.

So Iām the only guy in the universe that thinks playing an extra seasonā¦approximately an extra 20 games more than ANY other player in school historyā¦is something that should be considered when breaking records?
Really?
Andā¦that is FAR more reasonable and not even remotely close to Metroās argument.
Agree in principle, for the fact we continue to say the ācovid year didnāt countā, so why should the stats for the covid year count for those taking advantage of the extra year. That being said, Vannoy is in my opinion the best softball player Charlotte has had to date.
Boo still has 16 more games to play before sheās played the most games as a 49er.

We interrupt this discussion to report the news: Niners and FAU in a scoreless game in the top of the fifth.
Not any more FAU just hit a homer
Agreed. Every word.
Letās wait til the season is over, subtract whatever happened in the short 2020 season, and compare stats then. Iām confident Boo will come out ahead.
Ladies lose 0-4 to FAU. Their pitching held us to only 2 hits.
Ladies pull out win in second game today 3-2 with a homer by Washington in the 9th inning

Just watched replay of the bottom of the 7th inning. Niners down to their last out 4 times and last strike twice. Reverse of pullling a Niner.
