    I'd like to see you try to bat against one. Dollars to donuts the only way you make contact is bunting or just putting the bat in front of the ball and praying.

    Meh, probably now. Back when I was a bit more spry I bet I could put it in play.

    All that aside it's still women's softball. One rung up from women's basketball and in the same group as a monopoly tournament

    Put her at 60' 6inches I'm taking her downtown if she can even reach the plate.

    Put any big league or College or even high school pitcher at 45 feet and every game is a no no.

    Underhand, softball is underhand.

    I read a study once where the reaction times are equal with softball at the distance/ speed it is vs baseball at distance/ speed IT is.

    Jenny Finch struck out many MLB players so you cowboys are wrong on this and Terry is right.

    Meh... [​IMG]

    A softball pitch at 65 mph takes the same amount of time to reach the plate as a 95 mph fastball.

    @shane0911 You see the video Duck posted. The same happened to Piazza—in three straight pitches. Barry Bonds had the camera turned off because he didn't want any film of him striking out. A-Rod wouldn't take her pitches saying he didn't want to be embarrassed.

    MLB batters, some of the best, can't touch her and all you'll need is a step back in time to when you were spry? Bullshit. I have no idea how I'd compare to you when it comes to batting, hand and eye coordination, etc. I tried some 17 years ago against the current pitching coach at Bama (when she was playing) and I'm not embarrassed to say I couldn't touch 'em.

    So by that logic they are all basically untouchable and every game is a no hitter. Right? If it's impossible to do then how do they do it? Does every girl bunt?
