    Warning - Four years flies by very fast...are you ready?

    I started visiting this forum when my daughter was early in her high school years...and now she has played her last college softball game and will graduate in less than a week. These past four years have gone by unbelievably fast but I am very grateful for all of the opportunities I had to see...

    Obstruction call in LSU - SC game...correct outcome?

    In the LSU - South Carolina game in the SEC tourney yesterday, there was a play where the runner was obstructed going from 2B to 3B and then continued to try to score and was thrown out at home. After video review, the call was due to the obstruction at 2B, the runner is awarded home. I thought...

    Little League Softball Questions/Observations

    Note sure if the Rules forum is the right place for this, but since at least some of this is rules-related, I'll start here. I was watching quite a bit of the Little League Softball regionals on the ESPN app this weekend (more than I care to admit, actually, but I was a bachelor this weekend...

    Robocoach College Softball Forum?

    May not be great form to ask about another discussion forum on DFP, but was anyone here also a visitor to the Robocoach college softball forum? For the past week+, it is showing as being disabled. It happened earlier this year, but someone paid the hosting service (websitetoolbox.com) to keep it...

    Runner & Batter-runner both out on runner interference call?

    Saw this being discussed in another FP forum, and wondered if our experts here could weigh in. Runner on 2B, 1 out. Batter hits grounder to the SS side of 2B, and runner coming off of 2B runs directly into the SS who is making a break for the ball. While you could argue if the SS was ever going...

    Blah blah blah

    I love y'all, truly. I've spent many an hour when I should have been working combing through these forums -this hitting one in particular - trying to glean some nugget that may resonate with my daughter. And yes, I'm choosing to ignore for the moment the fact that she is playing in college...

    Anyone else getting 404 errors when trying to get into one of the DFP forums or open a thread? I can only get it to work through Tapatalk. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Patty Gasso Interview

    Haven't seen this posted here, but just saw it posted on another SB site. I had never heard of the What Drives Winning program, but it sounds interesting. Really powerful interview with Patty Gasso. We talk a lot - especially recently - about coaching styles and impact on players and results...

    Massey Ratings

    I had never heard of the Massey Ratings until they were mentioned in another thread. Interesting site that ranks all teams in all divisions, among other things. https://www.masseyratings.com No idea about their methodology, but just for grins, I used the site's "matchup" feature to see how my...

    Article: Advice to Parents of Collegiate Athletes

    Ran across this article on twitter today. Interesting advice...and very timely as my own daughter heads off to college next week. https://t.co/pmkYPkIzRt

    And so it ends...with a whimper

    After looking forward to (and dreading) this weekend's final travel ball tournament for my daughter (and for my coaching "career"), Mother Nature decided to give us the finger and wipe out the tournament. True, in a month she will be at college where her softball days will continue, but this...

    Premature Walks and Advancing Runners

    Happened over the weekend (18U ASA National Qualifier)...1 out, runners on 1 and 2. Batter takes a ball to make the count 2-2, and then proceeds to run to 1 thinking it was a walk (seriously thought it was a walk). Both runners trot to the next base. Ump says nothing. Defensive team does not...

    Finally Happened...

    My daughter is a senior in high school, has been playing travel ball since 8U, and is all set to play at a great D-III school next year. She hits +/- .400 year in and year out, lots of doubles with the occasional triple, but never NEVER a legit over-the-fence HR...until now. Last game of Sr...

    Auburn Update

    The three players are still technically suspended but will dress and be with the team for this weekend's final home series. https://www.seccountry.com/auburn/auburn-softball-suspended-haley-fagan-makayla-martin-update And players issue apologies. A tough lesson hopefully learned...

    Great clip about importance of player attitude

    Ran across this on Twitter. Great post-game press conference clip from UConn Womens Basketball coach Geno Auriemma speaking about the critical role that attitude and engagement plays in a team sport. Obviously speaking about basketball, but 100% applicable to softball.

    Too much time in this forum...

    ...and all of this technical swing stuff starts to sound like this (borrowed from golf but very relevant): Makes my head hurt. - TMD

    Another Interference Question (They're like Lays Potato Chips...Can't Have Just One)

    R1 on 1, 1 out. R1 takes normal lead on the pitch, but B1 hits high pop up to 1 (like within a foot or two of the bag). R1 retreats back to 1 but makes contact with F3 on her way as F3 steps back to adjust to the ball and prepare to make the catch. BU immediately calls interference on R1, then...

    The Army Leap Play

    So, this was widely posted over the weekend...cool looking play by a very athletic Army player. My question is this - could there have been an obstruction call on the catcher? It looks to me like she is fully blocking the runner's path to the plate well before the ball got there. Thoughts?
