    Things College Softball Announcers Can Quit Saying 2022 Edition

    Fair...I was thinking about the team but given the prevalence and importance of stats that wouldn't work. A step up could be a base runner that would count as an unearned run...or maybe the coach has to sing "killing me softly" to the crowd between innings.

    I had never thought of this until now but what about a ball or strike on the next batter for a failed challenge.

    Horrible obstruction call UCLA vs stanford

    I'm genuinely looking for someone with a rationale on obstruction. You think she set up in the running lane without being pulled their by the ball? Old rules I can see obstruction if called really aggressively (barely). New rules I just can't.

    Horrible obstruction call UCLA vs stanford

    There is no way to make the plays (particularly at home) perfectly safe without ruining them. I think the current rule is fine if just not applied so inconsistently and in the Stanford case erroneously. We have to remember we came from runners intentionally mowing down catchers...much safer now.

    That resonates with me but I don't think this was called according to the rule

    I don't need to pay $45 and watch a webinar to confirm a bad call 😇. In what world is this obstruction and the play in the OU Texas game is not? That play was much more egregious (and to be clear I think the umps got that one right by not calling it).

    The rule. Seems like she's not really blocking the leading edge, is going for the ball.

    First time Ghost Dad

    And another thing is that the industry collusion on a $400 bat is an equity issue for the sport and kids that can't afford them. Not Eastons fault alone but sad nonetheless.

    First time Ghost Dad

    I'm chuckling at the absurdity of a thread about how to baby a bat and the fact that every serious softball player I know with a ghost has two because one has broken. I maintain my speculation that Easton intentionally makes bats that break to sell two at a time to one player and because it...

    NAIA ruling on Transgender athletes

    Lock the thread. Nobody is going to change their opinion or learn about the issue in a unique way here but comaraderie over the common love of softball may be lost in the political shuffle.

    D3 pitching speed

    I haven't seen this girl but I have seen elite 16U and 18U teams get very frustrated against slow super spinny pitchers that can mix and spot while hammering fast pitchers with fewer tools.

    POLL~ on this pitchers reaction

    Don't like it but not that big of a deal.

    Stepping up to a -11

    If you have a lot of dough get a ghost and you can replace it while you wait for the warranty to come back. If not get a Demarini, LS, or Mizuno.
