    she is crazy good.  If the wiki is correct, since they moved the mound back, 2012 I think, no pitcher has finished a 4 year career with an era below 1.00.  she is well below that.

    The circle was moved back for college well before 2001, and I am pretty sure Osterman’s college career ERA was 0.5. High school moved to 43’ in 2012.  Her high school ERA was lower, but don’t recall exactly.

  2. For those that would rather rotate the location of the WCWS, if you are tuned in today notice the size of the crowd for a loser bracket game. The stadium holds something like 13K and it’s packed! (And neither team is from Oklahoma or Texas right now.) In all of our years coming up here (20+) OKC has become a destination for this sport. The stadium is phenomenal and the city has grown around the event. And the USA Softball staff busts butt to make it a great experience.

    I agree the field is too small - I don’t think as many fly balls should be automatic outs either, i think poorly hit balls should be more opportunities for double plays. I also think they can handle 9 innings. I have the same view about tennis, wtf men grand slams are 5 sets and women stay at 3 (men at at 3 for most other tournaments). 

    And while we are at it, make the ball smaller, raise the mound, and pitch overhand. 🤷🏻‍♀️

  4. USA vs Japan in the gold medal game for World Cup, on CBS Sports.

    Bottom of the second with two outs, bases loaded, 0-0. Janae Jefferson hits a bases clearing double to give USA a 3-0 

    lead. Tune in!

    Just curious, is there such a thing as a late bloomer in this sport?  Do they all end up at lower level schools or do girls get trap-doored at the big schools like boys do in football?

    At 13 years old, no coach would have looked twice at a 5’6”, 100 lb skinny kid from west Houston who had only been pitching 2 years. Yes Virginia, there are late bloomers! 😁
