College Softball

[Cooterpoot]

It's the best on-field product under the NCAA umbrella. Every regional game yesterday (Except Zona/AR) was a battle to the end. Extra innings, triple play, HRs, small ball, great pitching. It's fast-paced perfection!

It's a joke of a sport, let's be honest.

This made me laugh! Lord knows we need some laughter.

Well coming from you, that tells me all I need to know how good it is. And honestly all the things you complain about in baseball, especially college and pros, you really should love what a high level softball game is about. It has everything from small ball to HR to balls in play to good pitching and faster play. If you would give it an honest try, you will find a lot of elements you miss from old baseball games being played out in softball. And they are having the Oklahoma vs Washington super regional game on ABC today. Their ratings are good because people are finding themselves liking a lot of what they do on the field.

ETA: Full disclosure, my daughter took up the sport and that really got me involved and learning to love the sport. And how similar things are to baseball just in a compressed field of play. A high level baseball swing is also the same in softball, don?t let any tell you it?s a different swing, they are wrong this is not the 80?s. (Slapping is different but is similar to a drag bunt with a swing element). Learning that what works for a pitcher in baseball, setting up hitters, also works in softball, my daughter and I learned to add more of that to her pitching and made her a lot more effective but I think that is still something getting worked through in college play.

You don't even qualify as a joke. I've seen piss ants with more sense. You're the tick turd of this board.

I started watching fast pitch softball a few years ago, and I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. I watched the FSU-LSU game last night, and it was a great game. I have to agree that fast pitch softball is one of the better sports under the NCAA umbrella. I actually introduced it to my dad, and he ended up liking it too. The product is absolutely superior to what baseball is currently offering. And I still love baseball as well.

It's honestly refreshing to see you make a positive post / love it

I'm getting there.

[Cooterpoot]

OK has more HRs as a team than K's. Think about that.

[Rex54]

There was a D-1 college game this year where a pitcher threw a perfect game and K'd every batter. Joke.

I think that was when we played Alabama.

It's a 7 inning game vs a SWAC team. #tickturd

That is the first time that has ever happened in history of D1 softball. North TX did it vs Ark Pine-Bluff who finished the year like 2-29. Please let a softball pitcher throw to you and we will video it so everyone will know who is the joke.

What do you mean joke? That pitcher sounds like a badass.

Years ago I got into watching college softball after seeing a pitcher for Arizona named Taryne Mowatt. The view from the center field camera was nice. She's the pitching coach for Arizona now. Also Jenny Finch was easy on the eyes.

26 ks in a 27 inning game. if 21/21 makes the whole sport of softball a "joke", then 26/27 certainly makes baseball one too you hypocritical sexist dumbass

Or hell, lets recall the 3-2 Auburn football game. Does that shitshow make the entire sport of football a "joke"? Why not? Oh yeah, because you're not grasping for straws to justify not liking that sport

She was the pitching coach at OM before going to AZ. Her girlfriend was a firefighter in Oxford...sorry.

[SteelCurtain74]

Oh well, it was still a nice view. How appropriate with her being a pitcher she would marry a catcher.

I watched one time. The score was 1-0 and 85% of the hitters started to run before they even "swung" just trying to poke it at 3B and beat a throw. Joke.

Well that’s it, you watched a game in the 80’s or maybe early 90’s, that makes you an ignorant dingleberry...still. And honestly you never watched a D1 game where 7-8 of their hitter were just slappers. That’s at best an embellishment, at worst just a flat lie. Even slappers of today, which are fewer, can also power slap into the gap. Again, most of what you complain about in today baseball game and would like to see return in that sport, is happening right now in softball. But you have to be willing to not be a narcissist douche and give it a real look. If nothing else, I see more consistent hustle in softball than you do in baseball. Girl just got thrown in out at first by a mile and she sprints it out through the bag. If you can’t appreciate a lot of those little things they do...never mind. Wasting time.

You have to be a troll.

I've watched many 1-0 baseball games, and you have too. I've also watched many 49-0 football games. Do you think baseball and football are a joke?

College Football is quickly becoming a joke, yes.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

No no no you can't be a hypocrite here: If Softball IS a "joke" because of a 1-0 game and a 20k game, then football IS a joke for 49-0 games or the infamous 3-2 game, and baseball IS a joke because of 1-0 games

You can't say one is a joke, one is becoming a joke, and ignore the 3rd sport altogether when the exact same terrible games can be found in all 3. Terrible games can be found in EVERY sport, nobody likes to watch them.

You're both an idiot for dismissing an entire sport because you watched a bad game, AND a hypocrite for not applying the logic to other sports, AND prideful for not admitting your mistake when it's pointed out

Softball - joke
College Football- becoming a joke
College Baseball - not a joke.
