    Errors vs hits in scoring

    Your bias is definitely showing. No reason to think HS GC is any better than travel GC at the same age range. Our HS GC is run by an "Assistant Coach" that's really just a glorified average softball mom in the dugout and the scorekeeping is laughably bad and incredibly biased. I'm certain we're...

    Is it necessary to post this score?

    You and your AC were the ones showing no class.

    Hitting a pitch that bounced

    It's not caught cleanly if it bounces. If it touches the ground, it's uncaught.

    Hitting a pitch that bounced

    It would help if it were properly referred to as an uncaught third strike.

    Eye contacts

    Daily lenses are the route I'd recommend - lots of dust and some potential for tearing the lens in softball games. Best to be able to just discard them at the end of the day and start fresh the next morning.

    Eye contacts

    Evaporate from where? I think the answer is no, but I'd like to be sure I understand your question correctly.

    Glove Relace Question

    What you're describing is an overhand knot. A granny knot is an incorrectly tied square knot.

    Except I'm not and you still just refuse to understand that this isn't baseball and it's not the same. He even says when there's not a lot of time, you just grab and throw with a proper grip, regardless of seams. In softball, there is rarely extra time. Like I said, go ahead and watch games and...

    Teaching how to properly hold a softball...

    You and I both know exactly why - as I said he was a career baseball pitcher. It's how just about any former baseball player would hold it. Old habits and preferences. But preferences don't make what you think happens in softball games actually happen. By the way, I see you're still ignoring...

    I was using it in its literal sense, not as a hyperbolic.

    Thanks for the perfect lead-in to Dan Blewett's video (he was a very good baseball pitcher who, I'm betting, played at a higher level than anyone here)

    Dan Blewett knows what he's talking about and makes it clear you won't and don't need to get any certain grip on the seams: https://www.snapsoftball.com/how-the-correct-grip-will-help-you-throw-a-softball-harder-farther/ (Last 30 seconds if you're impatient) Also note this actually answers the...

    I literally quoted your pre-edit post...nice try.

    Teaching how to properly hold a softball...

    Exactly - this conversation is like the old-school thought that 'wrist snap' was a real thing in throwing a softball with power. (Although the original question is still a good one - how to hold the ball for an effective throw)
