Sure I've mentioned it before AND I coached TB for 10 years as well. I coached hitting for both baseball and softball players for longer than that. I have also stated on this site and others that they are two different games. I've pointed out the differences as well in various arguments. Schilling was commenting on pitching and several times what he said he would do as a baseball pitcher did not reflect what was successful for that pitcher. An example that is obvious is the use of the change up. Schilling was never known to incorporate the change in the way it is used in softball. I'll stand by my comment above! Are you of the opinion that softball can't stand on its own and has to have people talking baseball during a broadcast to gain viewership?

So I am not saying that I think almost any of the world series announcers are "worthy" BUT what the heck? A baseball guy that knows almost nothing about softball!?!? Really !?!?

Who is responsible for these befuddling decisions?? ESPN owe Curt something?....

I wasn't aware that Mendoza was commenting on the game of baseball, comparing it to softball and then telling viewers what she would do in any given situation. If so, then I would not be "hip." To this point, what I have seen from her is various interviews which are no different than the sidelines of an NFL game.

If I were to actually watch MLB I just might,... given if Mendoza were to make stupid comments on baseball framing things only in her softball knowledge domain.

But I don't have a 5-gallon bucket full of No-Doz or enough toothpicks for my eyelids to get through a MLB game...... (I know, its getting better I hear....)
