    Proud of my kid today!

    …..and she broke the career stolen base record yesterday as a junior! Such an exciting moment!

    DEFENSE

    What is tough for me to see is the low softball IQ of some of these players. Even at the collegiate level, a hit back to the pitcher and they are automatically going to 1B, not going for the lead runner when they have plenty of time. It blows my mind!

    Natural right-hander who throws lefty?

    Yeah, when you’ve been around as long as Orange Socks and I have been you tend to remember posting styles and who likes to come on here and play games.

    Yep!

    Natural right-hander who throws lefty?

    Because they aren’t a “true” poster in the sense of wanting to add to the community. In their post that was recently deleted, they were a 23 y/o who recently graduated from playing at a D3 school and was posting about how they were a righty who switched to lefty. However, at that time their...

    Natural right-hander who throws lefty?

    I don’t know but “softballgirl” morphed from “softballdad” the other day. Too bad that thread was deleted.

    Player safety when injured

    I agree with the above. Trainer should have told them to call 9-1-1 while he was on his way over - any blow to the face near the nose/eyes could be a potential head injury, as well. First aid kit/ice should be present at all times at the field. EMS could have treated the patient at the scene...

    College Pitching Question?

    Sometimes they do, sometimes they don’t. This past week’s weekday DH was canceled due to rain. No. She is NCAA D3.

    College Pitching Question?

    Yes - that’s how I feel, too. Give them a couple of days off from actually pitching. Maybe just a loose warmup on those days. I’m a huge believer of not throwing the day before games, too. I never booked dd pitching lessons the day before a tournament or camp. I honestly don’t know how many...

    College Pitching Question?

    Our schedule is very short. We play 12 games to start in FL in mid-March and then start conference play as soon as we get back. So we play one school twice on Saturday and then a different school twice on Sunday. It is pretty grueling for D3 between the cold New England weather and traveling to...

    College Pitching Question?

    Yep - most weeks. ETA: Conference games are on the weekends and we play “local” out of conference teams on Wednesdays.

    College Pitching Question?

    We play a DH on Wednesdays and DH on both Sat and Sun.

    DEFENSE

    I really just thought it was the D3 level where the defense seemed lacking for a lot of teams until I began watching a lot of mid-major and lower-end P5 games on TV. Then again, I also question if a team should even be competing at the D1 level if the lowest ERA is a 7+.

    College Pitching Question?

    Yeah, I thought it sounded like a lot too. Especially since they won’t be having a day off prior to the games.

    College Pitching Question?

    Just curious - how many days per week do your college-pitching dd’s throw including games? Dd and her fellow pitchers will be throwing 6 days this week which includes bullpen, live pitching to batters, and games. Just seems like a lot to me but maybe it’s similar across the board? When dd...

    NAIA ruling on Transgender athletes

    Unfortunately that is the media’s way with everything now a days. It is very sad. Actually, social media has caused a lot of the issues as well, especially TikTok.

    NAIA ruling on Transgender athletes

    What bothers me most about topics such as this is that people in general cannot have a genuine, fact-based, thoughtful conversation about it without their emotions taking over. Then there is the fear of being doxxed and being raked over the coals for even sharing an opinion on either side of the...

    Just a rant

    ^^This! Dd has had college teammates that played more than just softball. One played volleyball and the other does track. The problem is specializing too early may push an athlete away from other sports they potentially could have excelled in, even more so than softball. I still think dd...

    Proud of my kid today!

    My dd knocked her 100th collegiate hit and is now second on her college’s softball program’s career stolen base record! Just so happy I was there to see these two big milestones for her!!! ETA: I mistakenly thought she tied the record this weekend because they never updated the records from 2...
