[> [> Subject: Re: Will Dartmouth first year player get poached? Author: An Observer [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 13:02:22 04/08/24 Mon I don't question that young Miss Hall is an extraordinary talent. I can do the math: Seven innings * three outs per inning = 21 total outs in a regulation game (only 18 if the home team does not need to bat in the bottom of the seventh) Therefore, 17 strikeouts = kick ass. At the same time, you know as a self-professed softball fan that these wonderful pitchers are actually not that rare. The 40- or especially the 50-point college basketball scorer is a reach, a significant reach. The top top softball pitchers are a threat to throw a no-hitter every time that they enter the circle, especially if she has the bats on her roster to create the chance of a mercy-rule win after five innings. The best softball pitchers over a period of four years will throw several no-hitters. It's not a question of "if," it's "when." The broader point I was trying to make is that we know there is enough money sloshing around in football and men's basketball to steal our best players. If there is already enough money in softball to steal our best kids, we're done for as a serious Divison I conference. Our sales pitch for the last seven decades was, "We offer the best education and the most valuable network in America." If that's not enough to keep a softball pitcher in Hanover, it's gonna be a long long season in Hanover from now on. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> Subject: I didn't write that correctly Author: Go Green [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 16:26:17 04/08/24 Mon Only one of those three games was a perfect game. For the other two, the pitcher obtained all 21 outs from the other team by strikeout. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
