Run-Rule BLOWOUTS IN COLLEGE BALL

With the transfer portal, the talent is concentrated in fewer teams.

The improved hitting skills and better bats are killing mediocre pitchers.

College draft? Nah, that wouldn't work.

and sometimes even D1 level teams , 1 team is truly that much better. case in point recent Oklahoma versus Texas Tech. believe combined score for the 3 game series was 42-0.

Since nobody bit on my sarcasm, I will just pose the question. Do we actually know that there are more run rules, or are we just going off what our eyes are telling us?

Went to a pitchers’ duel in Gainesville last night. USF v Florida. 1-0 Florida. Hightower v Corrick. Hightower gave up 3 hits, Corrick only 1. Florida won on a walk to Skylar Wallace, steal of second and a score from 2nd on throwing error by catcher. Falby made the best catch I’ve seen all season on a foul ball in left field to win the game.

This crowd is pretty much strictly into anecdotal evidence and hyberbole.

She FLEW around the bases!

I’d like to know that too. Been watching college softball fairly seriously since 2016 and I don’t really know…

If there are, @sluggers reasoning makes sense with regards to the rich getting richer through the portal. OU basically gets to pick a proven player at a position of need at the end of each year (Trautwein and Brito for example..granted Brito was an IF)

I agree with that. And pitching is sooooo uneven now, p5’s can have 5 p’s on staff and a mid major might be lucky to have 2 semi sketchy p’s.

Lack of pitching will be the death of softball.

I do disagree that it’s the bats. I’m sorry, but no bat out there today is as good as the old Easton Stealths. And that’s just one example.
