MSU is the worst among their starters and they look like thier coach.

So I would assume very little.

Damn. I'll never watch the occasional softball game airing in the background because I thought my team's baseball game was on the same again.




You guys are really showing your arses with these comments!

I would love to see any of you try and hit a fastball coming at you at 70mph from 43 feet away!

Pujols, Piazza, and Giles tried to hit a 68mph pitch from Jennie Finch in 2018 and all failed! Badly!

Offensive linemen actively try to put on weight. When they leave the league a lot of them slim down quickly. Do college girls slim down after their Oline... I mean baseball career ends?

Yep, and look at the example these gals have like Bama's pitching coach Prothro. She's lost 50 lbs and could stand to lose another 50. Many of these fatties can pitch like Bama's Goodman or hit like Bama's Hemphill and Haney. But are so slow they're lucky to not get thrown out at first on a ball hit to the right field wall. Coaches should set the example and demand players stop stuffing their faces and get in shape.

I know we are making fun, which is fine, but some of these girls are athletic. Hemphill is a catcher, and you should try it if you think it isn't an athletic endeavor. I also saw her turn a single into a double yesterday on a routine base hit to the outfield.


Also to the guy who said MLB players couldn't hit softball pitching, you need to settle down a bit. Give them a week and they would demolish softball pitching. You can give these girls a lifetime and they aren't going to hit MLB pitching or even NCAA baseball pitching.

if you look at the fat ones its mostly latino or samoan gals ...they are born fat so its really hard for them to be thin...they have fat genes through out their family trees so thats why .alot of them can ball out though so the coaches prolly dont bother them about their weight and what not

How are we showing our asses? This is the truth. Big boned is a myth. Some people will swell up naturally due to genetics if they don’t take care of their selves, but anyone can be healthy and lose weight.

The greatest players in the history of baseball failed to record a hit in ~70% of their career at bats, and you think a college softball player can hit MLB pitching? I mean yay feminism and all that, but don't be delusional.

She’s not a catcher. She’s only playing that because Doerr sucks arse and Murphy ran off our other catchers.

It's been a while since I played little league, but only a few years since my son played. The discrepancy in errors in a little league game and a college softball game is enormous.

And most teams only have 1 or 2 slap hitters in the lineup, not 6-7. And with the movement softball pitchers are able to get on a pitch, not to mention varying speeds, it is extremely difficult to hit in softball. The mound is only about 40 feet from home plate. Walk off 40 feet and ask yourself how easy it is to hit a 70mph fastball, especially one pitch after an off-speed breaking ball.
