That dude had some game in LF

[@brianhart5612]

7&8 are definitely big fields. Played on 8 for senior tourney & not much went out. 7 was only open for bp thankfully 🤣

[@Raphell28]

Just from me watching this game, I could tell the ball was not going to pop off the bat like we thinking watching this game. But still was a good game

[@bobc7066]

thank you DW. I lie the field size and longer bases... Resmondo looked a little rusty... lots of flyouts... but had just enough to win this game. I dont think either 3rd baseman made a play. That was a great catch by the leftfielder on Riley.

[@sw48]

I also liked the baseball field but it definitely favored lefties. Cabot Van Til with the catch. Infields were hard and fast.

[@Derrick2]

According to google earth the homerun at 15:50 was about 450ft. It didnt hit the truck. It one hopped the other fence out there.

[@sw48]

I estimated 488 feet

[@Derrick2]

@@sw48 is that to the truck? Go back and look DW. Did it not one hop and hit that black chain link fence?

[@sw48]

@@Derrick2 When I pull the clip into my video editor it appears the top of the fence blocks out the yellow ball meaning it landed on the other side of the fence then it appears to take one bounce and hit the truck between the top of the wheel and the fender. Definitely a bomb.

There are quality sports complexes all around the country that have turf fields with normal dimensions and basepath distances. Im not sure why CUSSSA would play the game on one type of field most of the season (300ish fences/75 foot bases), have the conference championships on a different type of field (baseball size field with 80/85 foot bases), and then go back in a month to another different size field (baseball stadium/75 foot bases) for Worlds. Constantly changing the parameters of the game is bad for it. Makes the entire regular season feel pretty much irrelevant.

[@sw48]

The men's Major World Series is played in October on a pro sized baseball field so they want the big teams to get ready for that. We also played on baseball fields at the Hall of Fame Classic, Jim Beam Classic, Smoky, and Seattle Dual. We play Conference events on all sized fields.

[@mac8179]

DW, why aren’t they playing at the USSSA complex?

[@sw48]

They play the Major World Series at the Spacecoast complex next month so they like to spread the tournaments around.

[@francisbishop5158]

What bat a Josh Brown using?

[@sw48]

Not sure.

[@user-wf9gf2hy6q]

A bunch of power hitters who don't field very well. No strong arms and no speed.

[@DFW817]

Do the umps just randomly decide when to call guys out who are clearly out of the box?

[@rils3]

Such a valid question.

[@JaredTheCapo]

The box does not matter in softball. as long as your back foot isn’t in front of the plate, or your front foot doesn’t step in front of the plate you are good !

[@Threeblockline]

It’s like traveling in the NBA technically a rule but has to be pretty egregious to get called

[@Voge21]

The umps are terrified to call actual strikes in these guys. Umpiring is pretty bad cause the players gotta have the pitch perfect.

[@rils3]

Tbh, the strike zone and flight changes every game if not most innings 😂. There needs to be a truly defined zone. Slowpitch needs robo umpires wayyyy more than MLB does.

[@gporr7004]

Amazing how every fly ball no one runs whether it goes out or not. Pro level and these guys can’t run it out. Love to see th an drop and get bobbled. Lazy

[@francisbishop5158]

At this level anything in the air should be caught but on the small chance it’s easier to ease up then to get started. So I agree

[@sw48]

If you don't hustle at this level you won't be around long. Remember some of these guys had leg injuries, two had plantar faceitis.

[@Voge21]

Boggles my mind some these dude that are still on conference teams. Is that hard to find young talent and let the old dudes go?

[@michaelsteinhauer6980]

these guys bring it in a big game bud. Most young guys crumble in a big game these older guys are vets and know what it takes to win 🤡

[@Thizz2979]

They don’t want young talent to Play then they’ll have to make another sport to play

[@sw48]

They pick the players that get the job done. Softball prime is 35 years old.

[@Voge21]

@@sw48 ha okay for 35 or fat and washed up 35? Ha

[@sw48]

@@Voge21 playing shape is playing shape. These guys can either play the 5 to 12 games a weekend at the top level or they can't. Pretty much everyone you see in the videos can even if you are saying they are out of shape.
