Softball Update

In softball you make the defense make the throw. That's what I told my girls in little league.

Yes - dude - in EVERY game of ball and stick...from MLB to entry level t-ball - or girl's little league softball - you make the defense make the throw!!!

Hutchins is such a great recruiter, hitting coach and pitching coach - so awful of a base running coach.

This should not be a teachable moment - this moment should be taught on the first game of practice.

Hell, this moment should have happened long before the runner got to Michigan.

You on a ball hit in play that hits the ground before it's caught...you run to the base you're headed to, and you don't stop until you get there get there.

This might be the 20th time I've pointed out unimaginably stupid base running screw ups under Hutch.

Fielding isn't much better.

I was down at Fullerton watching the girls play Notre Dame in the annual tournament; and Dorian Shaw fielded a ground ball at first base with a Notre Dame runner at second and made the play at the base - and looked up and the runner was hung up between second and third.

And it looked like Dorian had no idea what to do.

So I stood up and I screamed at the top of my lungs..."RUN HER DOWN!!!" Then Dorian did that and the runner broke for either third or second, and Dorian threw to the base and made the putout.

A number of years ago, there was this little girl, Alessandra Giampolo, who was the centerfielder on the national championship team as a freshman. Anyways, I used to see her parents at Fullerton every year; they live in Pasadena.

So, that play ended the inning, and Ali's dad came over to me, laughing, and said..."say...you got pretty excited on that play..."
 
Are you talking about the play at the plate? Because I disagree you go every time . I agree she has a lot of bad moments but that one was ok.

What are you talking about they went like 17 or 18 games in a row without a team error . This is by far one of our best fielding teams in years .. yeah the ss airmailed that throw but have you seen her range ? Team is 2nd in the ncaa in fielding percentage.

Yeah Big ten is just not very good. It sure would be nice to hit, pitch and field all in the same year !

I don't really exactly know what you're trying to say. I was talking about what I was talking about.

The Michigan pinch runner who didn't run all the way to second base, who would have been safe if she had just run all the way to second base...that's what I was talking about.

She should have run all the way to second base.

You run to the base whether you're called or not.

The memory of Dory Shaw not even knowing what she should have done with a runner hung up between first and second - that was a story from maybe eight years ago.

I'm talking about the play at the plate. I think the girl running to 2nd was out on a force anyway but your right run to the bag..

But according to the umpire...she wasn't.

The umpire ruled the fielder missed tagging the base.

That's why you run it out.

Maybe it works for you one time in one hundred, or even less.

So what?

What else ya gonna do, stop and get some ice cream between bases?

Michigan sweeps doubleheader with Rutgers
Game one 11-1 in 5 innings. (Run rule)
Game two 9-2 in 7 innings.

35-7. And 10-1 now in conference.
 
I guess they played two games tonight, in anticipation of the storms and lightening expected for the scheduled game tomorrow.

Sunday's game is still scheduled to be on national TV, ESPNU, at noon Eastern.

EDIT: Doof! Or maybe I looked at the schedule wrong...but I could have sworn I had seen the third game scheduled for Sunday.

Oh well.

It's currently scheduled for Saturday, tomorrow.
