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.
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.
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.
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.
How did it ever come to pass that the once dominant UConn is now just another good team?

It seems like there is a lot of talent flowing in to softball.
I imagine that for every good player who wants to play for Patty Gasso, I can find one who would love to dethrone OU.
And worthy of note is that but for a couple good hits, FSU could have won last night and Stanford might have won...
I guess it's just me then. There is so much that goes on in the world what would pass barely noticed if we weren't being told that we should be outraged.
I could do without some of the enthusiasm, but then again, I have never played under that kind of pressure.
I had some private conversations with FSU players late last night and they told me that they were more upset by OU players spiking their bats on walks than they were about the FSU hits that were foul or prevented from being home runs by a matter of inches.
