It may be just me, but from what I have noticed is that since the game has focused on hitting, the defense has suffered with more errors. Add to that the ball coming off the bats a lot harder than it did with single wall aluminum bats, makes it more difficult. Then they lowered the strike zone and took away the rise ball and many strike outs. It definitely is not the same game it was 15 years ago.
Did anybody catch the UGA / Alabama baseball game last night? It was 13 innings, and entertaining despite the unconventional strike zone.
it was consistent at least.It is that what we are going to call that now.
After watching the NCAA women's basketball final 4 on Saturday evening, I have to say that softball is leaps and bounds ahead in terms of execution of the game plan. That had to be the most painful thing I have watched in recent memory. Shoot/miss/defensive rebound/shoot/miss/defensive rebound.... It was absolutely horrible. Very little driving to the basket for 2 points and when they did, they missed. 3-pt shot after 3-pt shot. The game has changed since I last watched. Time to get rid of the 3-pt shot and have them learn the basics again.
