I think she was talking about letting the outside pitch travel a little deeper and hit opposite field instead of being early and pulling an outside pitch. I know various hitting coaches DD has had over the years talk about hitting the inside pitch when the ball is just in front of home plate and for the outside pitch let it travel a little deeper towards the back of plate.

Now when someone is throwing 73mph, you are probably happy making solid contact anywhere near the plate?

When a person is throwing 73 mph, "letting it get deep" would be broken down into fractions of a fraction of a second. Again, my suggestion is to get the barrel started.

Well I'm hoping this thread meant the whole series, a great saying that I will definitely use, not sure who said it.
"Home runs are like boyfriends, as soon as you stop chasing them they start coming around"

Omgosh, I thought I'd coined that saying! Mine (when they're batting) is actually, "Softballs are like boys. The ones you have to chase aren't any good."

Yeah I liked that one too. She even repeated it on the slow mo replay...."see how her other hand is up in the air and not down with the glove?"
I laughed so hard when she said that. So knows so much about everything EXCEPT Illegal pitching and/or pitchers. One thing about Michelle. IF I can tolerate listening to her she says stuff that is so funny(dumb). I wonder if she watches replays of her doing the announcing and wonder "Did I just make that comment"

At 73 mph, I'd tell my batters to just close their eyes and swing hard! ��

When my dd's team played the Chicago Bandits the summer before she started college, they faced a big lefty who speed on the display during the game consistently showed 74 mph. DD hit a home run and so, the Bandits asked her to go with them for their after game meal. I asked her how she did. NOTE QUOTE! LOL!
