Yeah but I see this on every hit even during regular season. They hype is so much that it takes away from the game as a spectator. It’s hard to hear commentators over the non stop dugout chanting. They need to turn the mics down for the on field actions.The culture of softball is different than baseball. Hype starts with the dugout chants they learn in rec ball. In TB, you'd better be on the dugout fence and cheering for your teammates every second, or you're running poles. These ladies are pretty excited when they get to the biggest stage they will (probably) ever play on. Totally justified, IMO.
Personally, I wish baseball would show a little more enthusiasm. That said, I do appreciate the fact that my DD's TB team is pretty mellow (by TB standards) in the dugout, and the coaches don't force them to scream constantly, like some coaches do.
