Overall, Schilling sounded like a fish out of water. However, he did say some good things IMO. He talked about how good these ladies really are. He talked about setting batters up. He talked about how pitches being called from the dugout appeared to disrupt the tempo of the pitcher. He talked about how the pitcher needs to own the inside of the plate. He talked about how the pitcher knows better than the coach calling the pitches what pitch the pitcher feels she has better command. He talked pitching philosophy. If I had to take a guess, I would say he will do better tonight. I would rather listen to him or John Kruk than Smith and Mendozza.
I have to admit I definitely feel as though I am in the minority on this one. Glad to see a few people agree with my viewpoint. I appreciate how willing Mr. Schilling is in admitting his challenges. It is clear that there are many out there that don't have the same understanding or appreciation of the sport as the DFP faithful. But I don't need to watch ESPN to learn that. All I need to do is stand anywhere near the bleachers of one of DD's high school games. When compared to listening to most of those parents, Schilling is a fastpitch genius!!
