Softball/ Baseball two different sports. About like comparing baseball to cricket. Both entertaining. If they just wouldn’t do stupid chants it would be much better.

Softball is fine, I enjoy high level softball. It’s not close to as good as baseball.
There are 1000 people in a parking garage in OKC watching the Big 12 tourney.

I see it because my daughter plays and in the ten years she has been playing collegiate players are getting better every year. It will reach a leveling our point, but you would be surprised at how athletic some of them are.

I understand. It IS a great game. Our high school softball team was very good and I dated a girl on it. I traveled all over the state watching them.
It’s just not on the same level as baseball to me, especially at the college level.

This is not necessarily the case from what I see, and I’ve watched a lot of both recently.

Other than 2 hours versus 3 hours of your time, there is plenty of small ball and gorilla ball in both. Pitchers can go on for days in softball, not the case in baseball. Too many different variables at play. I enjoy both, even more so when a James Madison knocks off a 50-2 favorite.
We're about to witness Davids knocking off Goliath's in the baseball world as well.

My neighbor is a tenured scout for a professional baseball team, has family members who play college and pro ball. My daughter went to his hitting facility recently and he watched her and gave her a few pointers. After telling her swing was better than most boys around her age and that she was hitting the hell out of the ball.
We all have our opinions obviously, which is what this discussion is. And obviously on average, boys are stronger and faster than girls. But skill wise, girls are improving and closing the gap due to several factors. Softball is a great game, very similar to baseball but with obvious differences. There are things I like about it better than baseball the way it is currently played.
