Let’s talk about college softball coverage! The good, the bad, the ugly.
First of all.... Every 16u travel ball game in the country is live streamed. Come on, colleges, figure it out. If dopey tb dads can figure out how to live stream, you can too.
If you aren’t going to allow visitors fans at games, STREAM THE GAME. Again, how hard is this?
If you are a college hosting more than one visiting team, why in the world are you only streaming home team games? Come on, you aren’t letting fans in and you aren’t streaming these games? GROW THE GAME, it benefits the sport and your schools sports!
One camera is better than none.... But it’s 2021.... You can do this, I know you can.
And now for the announcers:
If you have said a phrase a couple times, it’s time to find another way to say it.
Example: I don’t ever need to hear “free pass” or “issued a free pass” ever again.
Issued a free pass. Issued a free pass. Issued a free pass. Issued a free pass. Issued a free pass. Issued a free pass. Issued a free pass. Issued a free pass. Issued a free pass. Issued a free pass. Issued a free pass. Issued a free pass. Issued a free pass. Issued a free pass. Issued a free pass. Issued a free pass. Issued a free pass. Issued a free pass. Issued a free pass. Issued a free pass.
See how unpleasant that is?
Same with “She didn’t try to do too much with that pitch”. Same with “She takes her hands to the ball.” Never people. Especially not FOR EVERY DAMN HIT IN THE GAME. Thanks for your help with this.
Next... quit with the technique commentary on every move the players make. You played college softball. Quit sounding like a 12u rec league coach. You know interesting things. You see things those of us who didn’t play at that level don’t see. If you are going to talk technique or strategy, please don’t dumb it down. Elevate the viewers.
I would rather hear that if you ever come to Anytown to catch a game, the players favorite restaurant is Loco Tacos and you might see players there with families later tonight.
I would rather hear about game scores that may be of interest.
I would rather hear about what it was like when you played here.
I would rather get an update on the dude in the front row wearing a nacho hat.
If I wanted to hear an hour and a half of vapid technique critique I would go to a 10u softball practice.
Happy 2021, y’all! Let’s watch some softball!
