DFP - many of us "old timers" had and have a great friend in @obbay as well as @Megobee. Today, Saturday, June 12, 2021 marks the 3rd anniversary of Meghan's passing. She was a beautiful girl with her life ahead of her and unfortunately her time was cut short.
Please take a moment and reach out...
Back in the day......and not long ago people came here to learn, discuss softball, and as I repeat learn. It was awesome and everyone was welcome.
Fast forward a bit........seems like fewer are really interested in helping others out. More seem to want to come here to make a statement, call...
Coach Champer was amazing IMHO. She did alot within a tough conference. Wish her the best and can't wait to see who will replace her.
Georgia softball strong!

Anyone watching the VA Tech vs UCLA game? VA TECH pitcher (RH) lining up on the far right. I have seen her step outside the pitching lane with absolutely no contact at least 3 times now at top of 2. The chalk is long gone but she has clearly missed it at least 3 times with no illegal pitch call...

For fun, if interested, post who you think will make it to OKC. Below are mine and no ranking is necessary. Just who you think will come out of regionals/supers to make it in:
OU
Missouri
OSU
Florida
Bama
Zona
FSU
UCLA
That is my elite 8. For sake of tie breakers....pick the winner. Mine is OU...
Brackets out and the next few weeks will be some of the best for the year IMHO.
Does anyone know where to buy tickets for regionals/supers? I am specifically looking for the OU in Norman region this weekend. Assuming tix will go on sale in the morning and will likely be gone in a blink of the...
Did anyone else see this? Not sure what to think other than the bats are really hot these days. Never ever seen a half swing for a grand slam in all my life. Something isn't right....... or perhaps something is really right. Just wow!
I bumped this thread awhile back but thought I would cut and past and create a new thread as a focus on the wrist and its importance. Just when you think you have everthing down from drive, to brush, to ball at 9:00, and IR, a very small difference in the angle of wrist can make a huge...
@Hillhouse do you know him?
I posted this video a couple years ago but stil amazes me so reposting. FYI- the leap is not why he throws so fast! It helps for sure but imagine taking the leap out of it. Still solid!!!
If you are needing something to do the USA Softball HFL July 4th Showdown kicked off almost 2 hours ago and is being streamed live. There are some strong teams in attendance and 4 fields (games) to choose from. Below is the link...
So decided to throw this out there as experience and history has showed this is the case. DD1 has become the number 2 do to the addtion of a new #1 FROSH who throws 65 consistently. No lie, this girl is a freak of nature and while many would be discouraged, this has been a gift. DD1 is going to...
I don't miss too much but I had never seen this one. Must have slipped thru the cracks but really enjoyed the clip. Thought I would share as sometimes we need a feel good vid to take the mind away from things. Enjoy!
OK. Walk up songs can be viewed as silly but what is yours. My DD is heading to Auburn next year and she has chosen Lynyrd Skynyrd Sweet Home Alabama for her walk up song. No, her home is not Alabama but it represents where her new home will be...I guess?? Happy for her but even more happy she...
Watching the Puerto Vallarta College Challenge Weekend 2 and all of a sudden Barnhill is pitching for Team Mexico???? Anyone know anything about that? How is she on that team? I know she has played for Team USA in some form or fashion in the past but now Team Mexico? Nothing against her or the...
DFP,
Many of you are new but we still have some of us old timers around and hopefully that will continue. With that said, we had a member here that lost a promising college softball player but much more importantly a beautiful young daughter that didn't make it through a relatively routine...
Not sure if many follow Rick Pauly or not but the oldtimers know how much I respect him. Rick has helped me a few times over the years by simply emailing him videos of my oldest and asking for help. I can't say enough good things about him and there is no doubt he knows pitching.
With all that...
I always preface "ump" discussions by saying there are some really good ones out there. Of course, there are some really bad ones as well and some that just shouldn't ever ump again like these goofballs.
How do you miss the runner not in the running lane? How do you miss the obstruction on the...
