    "Big dog pitcher" a dying breed?

    Look at UCLA. They ride their pitchers every year. Garcia did well last year but she pitched nearly every pitch.

    Coaches Vs. Catchers Calling Pitches

    Part of the reason catchers don’t call games or demand to do so is because they’re not taught to do so. It’s also not expected. it’s a chicken or the egg thing with college isn’t it. What came first, coaches calling or coaches getting players who didn’t know how to? I’ve pitched for 20 years...

    Softball returns to Dallas...and everyone ignores social distancing

    yeah Australia (with the benefit of distance) was able to shut down and stop even the first peak. Sadly my state is back to shutting down suburbs as we’re getting spikes. only a few states are playing sport right now (a few are starting in the next week or two) and it’s limited.

    Pride vs SY Dogs

    The series might continue but it won’t be Scrapyard playing. The team will likely be in a different uniform.

    Running for Pitching Conditioning?

    HIIT is also good. Quick short exercise and then breaks.

    Softball returns to Dallas...and everyone ignores social distancing

    We haven’t returned to sport yet in Aus and we have minimal community transmission. It blows my mind that Americans are returning to sport.

    Watching games on TV

    If you can get access to Watch ESPN there’s quite a few games on there live.

    New 2020 Pitching Rules

    You will see people teach BIG gaps between legs (the men especially) but I don’t find it comfortable. I’m prob about10-20cm behind the plate but I couldn’t tell you asi just don’t think about it.

    Send some good vibes our way.

    Oh God, we had a similar story in Aus. Three siblings and their cousin killed by a drunk driver. so much love. It’s awful.

    New 2020 Pitching Rules

    I pitch with stand back. It took a little bit to adjust but it’s so nice not having to check your foot. it’s really a minor change and you can get comfortable

    New 2020 Pitching Rules

    coming here to ask that. Why don’t they just use international rules? Then everyone’s on the same page.

    *HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT~TCS International Challenge

    Oh I don’t blame the players. They’re just following the rules. but it doesn’t improve the host countriestalent level. How are the players meant to get better if they can’t make the team and get an opportunity to play better competition? New Zealand actually got worse when they started using...

    *HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT~TCS International Challenge

    I’m not bemoaning athletes training in America. what I’m bemoaning is athletes who have never been to a country representing that country and taking the opportunity from a local. the Mexican team who will be atthe Olympics are all American born players. Most hadn’t visited Mexico before they...

    *HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT~TCS International Challenge

    Oh do NOT start me on that Topic 😂😂 USA and USA A (aka Mexico) I almost wish Puerto Rico had made it instead. At least they’d actually be Americans. If I didn’t adore the Canadian players so much I’d have wanted both Mexico and Puerto Rico to make it. Just to show thte absurdity of the...

    Runner on 2nd signaling pitch location to batter

    yupppp. Men are evil at picking pitchers. One of the men in my club has been catching for me at training and he’s been really good at telling me how to hide it. Andsome of the other coaches will yell what I’m throwing. and they would lose it to be told they have to call the game. Catchers call.

    Good news for the womens Olympic softball team.

    The Fastpitch leagues in Japan play on baseball fields. So it’s fairly normal for them.

    Good news for the womens Olympic softball team.

    Another one who hates the visual of softball played on a baseball diamond. I’m so sad we’ll be having the Olympics on a baseball diamond. I’m still unhappy we combined with baseball with the WBSC instead of remaining seperate. We should have fought for men’s softball to be added, not thrown out...
