    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.

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

    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.

    Jordy Bahl transfers!

    How did it ever come to pass that the once dominant UConn is now just another good team? One objection I have to many news stories is that they are written as if the world is static and nothing ever changes. They will write about some state of affairs (e.g., OU's dominance of softball right...

    How does the transfer portal work

    When a student athlete enters the portal, is everything up for grabs at that point or are there back room discussions so that they have it figured out before entering the portal. In the course of their eligibility to play, how many times can a student transfer?

    Team fundraiser coach wants the money paid in cash.

    I think it depends on whether or not the coach says that you can trust him.

    Jordy Bahl transfers!

    Sometimes people tell the truth. In the case of Jordy Bahl, I am inclined to believe her.

    Fake softball energy trend

    I think that TMIB is saying that women athletes aren't as quick to lose their minds over a perceived taunt as are men. And that is to the credit of women's sports. The only time I thought there might be bench-clearing brawls is when Haley Fagan was at Auburn and Auburn was playing Florida.

    How to make NCAA CWS more interesting

    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...

    Fake softball energy trend

    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.

    Fake softball energy trend

    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.

    Fake softball energy trend

    Don't forget possibility #3 which is that the outrage is mostly manufactured by talking heads and the players don't care that much.

    Fake softball energy trend

    Nobody on the OU team has ever given me a reason to dislike them. Can't say the same about teams that cheat.
