that was a great game. Flip was pushing the limits on his swings early. Excellent editing to leave the conversation by Dedonitas Jr and Cooper in there to discuss the ball problem. MPT is a handful.. bad balls or not.

[@gonedeep43]

All this talk about Ervine, but in my opinion, there's Harvey and then everyone else when it comes to power and consistency.

[@bobc7066]

agreed

[@BayloFitness]

Harvey’s no doubter in the 5th wow 😅

[@dennisriordan1846]

That was a full swing. Might not be his normal bat speed but should be perfectly legal.

[@USSSALIVE]

Not allowed in conference/major softball. Rule was changed 5 years ago. Can't deceive by taking speed off your swing to hit a grounder.

@@USSSALIVE that’s the dumbest shit ever you do what you can to get on you’re supposed to deceive the defense you’re not supposed to help em out lol

If you understand upper level softball you would know that it is a safety issue.

I've seen flip make a lot of questionable decisions at the plate

[@mikejones514]

Interesting that they called Flip out on that seeing how he's done it numerous times before and it wasn't a problem. But based off the definition they gave during the broadcast of that game, wouldn't a "judy" swing be the same thing? I mean we've seen guys use that half swing to hit backside or to just dump it right over the infield to get a base hit. How's that any different from what Flip did?

[@USSSALIVE]

You cannot have intent to hit a slow grounder in conference play. It is a safety situation. We don't want infielders having to play inside the bases with 110 mph shots coming at them.

[@mikejones514]

@@USSSALIVE If that is the case then I agree 100%, but then what about pitchers getting hit at with those same 110mph shots? Unless I'm not seeing what happens behind the scenes, wouldn't they be in the same if not worse position than an infielder?

[@USSSALIVE]

Good point but this is the way it is currently.

[@_Noah.ahernandez]

Where’s smash it vs resmondo??? That’s the game we all want to see

Coming Monday

[@moneymonday969]

So wait a minute if you half swing a blooper in it's okay but if you do that for a grounder it's not? I am legit confused

Could number 8 on the black team take any longer to get in the box. It’s fucking softball. Not a World Series mlb game.

[@SamPhillips01]

USSSA has to go with Evil softballs. All these other brands are trash.
