Hat tip to Haegar. Never seen such 1 person dominance. Mental errors and timidness did us in.
If Umps are letting you get away with HBPs, then lean in all day. Gotta take whatever competitive advantage you can get. Props to UF for recognizing that.
Well your credo is certainly in line with your login name, now in' it?

That was a frustrating game to lose. Am very tired of the cheap HBPs.
At the same time, it was a good season, and most of the team is coming back next year so we'll have another good shot.
It might have been different if Hutch would've recognized Betsa's confidence problem one game earlier...To win it all you have to be bold
So people in the other thread kept saying the HBP rule needs revising. Can somebody who knows more than I do about softball please tell me what's wrong with it? Wasn't it just the umps sucking?

Yeah - that was pretty blatant. They showed it on a replay - her foot was over the plate and her shin was perfectly vertical. Ball hit her on the knee cap.

ask to tell us how you really feel, will I ?!
Blanco was way out of the dugout, dancing like a maniac trying to rattle the UF pitcher at the end of Game 1.
I think it's all a bit much, but women's softball is its own thing and that seems like it's how the game is played from early on.
the bench.
They go non-stop on every pitch.
We used to do all sorts of chants in baseball, but women's softball is its own level. Just pointing out that complaining about one team's antics versus another team's antics is silly. And complaining about women's softball for being women's softball is silly.
I prefer to focus on the truly exciting on-field stuff.
first down.
Neither did Darius Morris tell MSU to get the fuck of his court after every assist.
I don't think the complaint about softball celebrations was intended to pooh pooh every sports celebration, just the degree to which one sport celebrates after most every routine play.

So Michigan shoots itself in the foot for a lot of this series allowing UF to get the edge, and the sport itself is to blame for that?
Okay then.
I personally enjoy the differences. In baseball, Wagner would've rushed the mound LOL and all kinds of disaster would ensue.
Watch playoff hockey for the antithesis of softball.

you sound really evolved.
You also sound like a run of the mill dick. Grow up.
The batter gives up a lot of time coming off the fake to get back into the batting stance. Seems like a lot of power is sacraficed for nothing.
And why have a batter's box in softball? The slap hitters are half way to the pitcher before making contact with the ball.
Time for the real sports baby!!
machine.
Fucking lousy strategy.
Still, it was there for the taking in these 3 games.
Sucks to be #2, but proud of how elite this team was. Just didn't get it right on the crucial night. We really did not have one of our best games.
The team got as close to a title as you can. Yeah it sucks but they gave an elite Florida team all they could handle. Florida only scored 7 runs in 3 games and 5 were in two separate 1st innings. We played great, but Haeger is too annoyingly elite. She'll be rememebered as an all time great and deservedly so.
Hager is a great player, period. It's a shame for her that there is nowhere to go after this. She can't go Pro like great players on the men's side.
Here's how you reply: "It's softball bro".
No response back.

we're stuck with it. Other hobbies suck!
Anyone agree that softball is a way better sport to watch than the WNBA? It would probably draw more fans too.
