For non-Softball fans

[jwallace]

Yes if a male athlete played softball for that long and provided they were a quality athlete with no doubt would they be able to hit the ball well. They would be a fully bonafide softball player and there are many great male fastpitch softball players. That's more of an Ohio & Arizona thing. I'm arguing that the skill set of hitting a softball in fastpitch is just as hard if not harder to hit than a baseball. I wasn't talking about a baseball player getting in the box and hitting off of a softball pitcher. I was talking about you getting in the batter's box and hitting off of a quality softball pitcher for you to decide whether they are top athletes or not. The male species (my being one) are definitely physically stronger than women. You miss my point. Softball is a game of skill just like baseball. Great physical strength like weight lifting, playing the line in football, or the world's strongest man competition are irrelevant to being a great softball player. If this is the mindset of those not willing to come to the ballpark and support our Lady Cajuns (economic issues aside) then they are the ones missing out on the fun. I go to my share of male athletic events as well. This group of ladies this year are a very special group and I personally am savoring every minute of it. Of course I have a daughter on the team. It's getting closer to game time. We have our hands full tonight!

Have you seen some of these gals take of from the plate to first............they have a couple of them that would make our baseball player look like they are standing still...........

I have watched seveal softball first basemen, or women do something no male ever has done, catch a ball doing a banna split keeping that foot on the bag. Sure men elite male athletes are superior to elite female, but I love the softball at UL. I guess it may have something to do with being elite and darn good at what they do. This team has the feel of being special even for this program.

Sports that are more fun to watch elite females to elite males. Tennis, gymnastics, volley ball, are clearly more entertaining.

If some people would, or could get over their bias they could enjoy these young women more than any group at UL.

They will have their work cut out for them this week. At the end of the week I think we will be as proud of them as ever regardless if they win every game or lose every game. They come to compete period.

I think you're confused. I'm the one mustering up the support for the girls. I've been to many games this year. - JW

Outstanding performance by your daughter tonight! Amazing for any pitcher, especially a true freshman. Very impressive!
