    DEFENSE

    You'll want a couple of strikeout pitchers as well if you are going to construct a team which doesn't have good defensive skills in all positions. This would be my daughter's town travel team - if the pitcher was throwing mostly strikeouts, there was a considerable risk of losing on unearned runs.

    Assuming you have somebody qualified and authorized to administer, right?

    It was a good thread on trans athletes. so, the trick is to accommodate the vast majority of athletes who aren't going to be setting records while keeping it fair for high level women.

    Good on you. Not a teacher myself but my mother was a teacher, father and brother, professors. I still respect the profession.

    You have been around sports more than I have. I assume you have seen that, for most coaches, winning is necessary. Colleges aren't paying high salaries for sportsmanship.

    NAIA ruling on Transgender athletes

    This is my feeling as well. Pre-puberty, it doesn't really matter. Post-puberty, it does. There have been a number of instances of trans women arriving on the scene and completely dominating the competition.

    Sluggers, MIB; I appreciate your thoughtfulness on this topic.

    NCAA Obstruction rule change

    That was just a classic great play at the plate. Glad the call on the field was upheld.

    Things College Softball Announcers Can Quit Saying 2022 Edition

    I tend to agree with you. I am wondering what, if anything, can be done about it. These coaches are paid to win so they will use the rules to their advantage. From the article link below, it sounds like base runners will have to be a bit more conservative in their timing...

    How would that be different from a situation where a grand slam was reversed because a base umpire made the same call?

    Rec league competitive guidelines?

    Just speaking for my little corner of the world.

    Rec league competitive guidelines?

    All who play TB also play HS but not all who play HS play TB. One way or another, in our town, and I suspect this happens a lot, participation in sports plummets when kids get to high school.

    Change in high school leaping law

    I attribute that to the thinner air.

    Change in high school leaping law

    It's going to be cool in a couple of years when the pitching circle is almost as far back as 2nd base.

    No political discussions

    Parents have been expressing strongly head views on softball for ages - questionable discussions and comprehension much of the time.

    ZAP...no-one there...now what?

    We spend so much time nowadays trying to soften reality that this statement jars me a little. I'll bet that's a bit of a wake up call for some players. However, that is the job of the SS.

    Why we need some kind of pitch/inning count in softball!

    There certainly is no substitute for lots of hitting. It is said that quantity has a quality all of its own.

    True, but Patty was probably talking about not wearing out your best pitchers during the regular season. That way, they can handle a heavy load during the playoffs.

    Jordy Bahl is a Husker now - no surprise

    Based on a quick look at their stats for this year, I would say that they need another arm or two.

    Jordy Bahl is a Husker now - no surprise

    I hope Nebraska can back her up with a strong team. While she is very good, it is also true that some of her wins at OU were thanks to a team with depth and strength across the board.
