I dont understand how he doesnt get this
He said the girls would 10 run rule the guys. That means he is telling us girls are better at hitting a baseball pitcher than guys are. Because most pitchers only give up 1 or 2 runs in a game. But his girls can score ten. Yeh, ok

What I told you is that when I take a girls fastpitch team and match them against a boys baseball team of similar age and talent level, that in most cases, the girls have pounded that arse. The two of you have inferred that I said it is a rule, and that boys can't adjust to hitting underhand. Quite obviously, men's fastpitch is huge. In addition, men's bat speeds are superior to women's, and as I have already said, their strength is as well. But when taking into account the fact that a pitch from a girl at 60 mph crosses the plate in less time than an 85 mph fastball, you're proving that you're just...well...fricking stupid in saying they can't get the bat through. Again, my bet is that you have ZERO experience in fastpitch. You've likely not watched many games, never played or coached a game, and are making your assumptions based on the fact that clearly, girls can't possibly hit off a boy.

they cant

Why is it impossible for boys to hit off of girls because it is underhand and different, but girls can miraculously rake off dudes throwing overhand?

Ted Williams was struck out on four pitches by the legendary womens softball pitcher Joan Joyce.

Look while I fully undertand if poeple like or dislike certain sports, the argument that women's sports are "terrible" defies the person who follows boys high school bsektball (top D1 womens teams would run most HS boys teams out of the gym) or even high school football- if you love College Football how do you watch HS, there is no comparison as to the skill level. To each his own of course, but to say it is becuase the women are not as talented, means you should only care about pro sports on every level, because anything less is terrible compared to pro...

Good job. Glad you took the time to post, then correct your post about how much you DON'T care about women's sports.

Again...and for the last time cause I'm done with this after this cause this is useless. Lol. Every throw made in both sports are done OVERHAND.....except for the pitch by the girls. Overhand throws are what both age groups are used to seeing. Only the girls are used to seeing a ball thrown underhand. Until a boy gets to the plate to bat against a fastpitch pitcher, he hasn't seen it. That is very likely why Finch struck out Pujols, in addition to others. And finally....again...the boys have less time to react to a pitch than they are accustomed to seeing. A pitch from 60 feet to a girl who is used to hitting one from 43 (and you don't even want to talk 40'), looks like a watermelon change up coming....or at least that's what I've been told as I watch them hit it with relative ease. Bottom line is that girls have to be able to react and hit and make plays in less time than boys do. Does that mean they are better athletes? Nope. But you can bet your happy arse that they are indeed very good athletes and can easily hold their own.
