June 9, 20214 yr OF play tonight is exceptional. Each team has a DP from a caught fly out. OU had a diving catch and doubled off the runner at 2nd. FSU RF caught it and gunned down the runner trying to tag up and move to 3rd.

June 9, 20214 yr 2 minutes ago, ClubWhatever said: Shouldn’t that have been an out and a run? Should have been a dead ball out, runners dont advance. NCAA softball umps are awful.
June 9, 20214 yr Just now, ClubWhatever said: They kinda left this girl out to dry Gasso was checking the transfer portal for pitching and DM’ing Hope Trautwein “u watching?”
June 9, 20214 yr 20 minutes ago, ClubWhatever said: This sport really needs to move the bases, mound, and fences back a few feet. Then it would be called baseball. Why mess with a great game?
June 9, 20214 yr Gasso going to Rains - not Saile or Juarez - so she’s conceding or hoping her offense picks it up and saving them for games 2-3
June 9, 20214 yr Weird that Mowins would mention the magic “8” - there’s no run rule in the champ series

June 9, 20214 yr 1 minute ago, ClubWhatever said: Out by a mile but I liked the send. FSU has been no stop sign from 2nd to home and forcing OU’s OF to make the throw. Got it that time, but not the other 2 times

As it is now, college pitching distance is the same as international.

I don’t watch international or pro softball really so I don’t know what it looks like. I just know that in my opinion there’s too many infield hits on balls that are played well by infielders, so I think 2 more steps to first would lessen that. Outfield wall seems fine as far as home run rate but it is pretty close as far as allowing extra base hits to the less fleet of foot.

International and pro are same distances, only main difference is they doesn’t require trailing toe to be kept down. It’s not the women’s version of baseball, that already exists. It’s a totally different game, much quicker, very different strategies, and much more difficult.
June 9, 20214 yr Terrible base running but got a run on another obstruction call. 8-4 You gotta commit, girl. Edited June 9, 20214 yr by Js1
June 9, 20214 yr 1 minute ago, ClubWhatever said: Do they have replay? She looked out They called obstruction. Blocking the plate without the ball Edited June 9, 20214 yr by Js1
June 9, 20214 yr You know I can't complain about our baserunning anymore. Apparently it just sucks in all of college softball lol

June 9, 20214 yr The last 2 games of this champ series will be interesting. No one has managed to beat OU twice. Georgia won game 1 in Athens, lost game 2. OSU won game 1 in the Big 12 series, lost the next 3 (including Big 12 champ game). JMU won game 1 in the WCWS, lost the 2 semifinal games. OU usually has an elite defense, but last night was abysmal. The shitty throw to second in the first inning, the overthrow trying to catch a runner stealing. They don't go down as errors, but both obstruction calls were basically errors on the catcher. FSU's Watson holding OU scoreless/hitless the first time through the order - wow. Don't see that often/ever. And just the 2 solo HRs allowed after that (6 hits total). Patty Gasso hanging Nicole May out to dry - after it was 4-0, she said they had Juarez warming but didn't want to use her in game 1, but neither Saile nor Raines were warming. So why was your "ace" warming if you weren't going to use her, but the 2 other pitchers were doing nothing? They left the freshman out to dry - and they will likely need her again. FSU saw a lot of pitches from May and Saile. 68 and 58. Both will be needed in a 3 game series again. Saile had 3 walks in 3 innings - only 1 ER allowed, but FSU could have done more if not for that bad baserunning to get a runner thrown out well before she got home and the other baserunning blunder. FSU threw their #3 and got the win and barely had to throw their #1 (21 pitches) and #2 (Arnold) is rested and ready for today. Edited June 9, 20214 yr by Js1
June 9, 20214 yr Pure arrogance on display last night. Let’s see if they can muster up an ounce of humility and play ball.
June 9, 20214 yr Just now, ClubWhatever said: Pure arrogance on display last night. Let’s see if they can muster up an ounce of humility and play ball. That too. The #1 overall seed came in and got punched in the mouth by the #10 seed and didn't know what to do. They kept looking around waiting for someone else to start a rally and no one stepped up. FSU also has 5 players with champ game experience who were underdogs when they won it all in 2018 too. They thrive with their backs against the wall, considering how many straight elimination games they have won since 2018.
June 9, 20214 yr Bama OF KB Sides in the portal. Texas needs 2 OF with Ellsworth, Tedder and Rhodes moving on Quote The senior finished the season with a .314 batting average and 20 RBIs. Sides was a three-year starter for the Crimson Tide and made the All-SEC defensive team in 2021 with a .955 fielding percentage.
