turns out the softball pitching motion is much better for your shoulder, and pitcher usage reflects this

Fastpitch pitchers use more parts of their body to generate the speed as opposed to pitchers using a lot of their shoulder and elbow. Having dated a former pitcher, their chest on their pitching side is pure muscle which isn't the case for a baseball pitcher.

This dude, under a different name, is in every single thread making the exact same reply about women doing something athletic. So consistent that you’d almost think they spawned in reply threads and only then found empty-headed bodies to inhabit. Every single one of these dudes is also frothingly angry about trans or intersex athletes participating in women’s sports.

Sydin posted:https://twitter.com/PWSullivan/status/1362118071738109954 Chris Myers is the Fox Sports guy who was originally reported to be taking over for Kasper, but the Cubs backtracked from it after some initial outcry because he's said some really lovely, racist things. DeShaies is probably liking the new partnerships. He would occasionally get incredibly ornery on the air when Kasper would bring up advanced stats, and both Myers and Hughes pretty much avoid anything beyond OPS. Although Sciambi sucks, so the Cubs' TV presence is going to suck in general this year.

I'll love Pat Hughes forever, but I don't think I've ever heard him mention OPS, and if he did he would do it in a way that made it very clear he didn't care about it and didn't think you should care about it either.

Shoulder injury rate higher in baseball than softball Reuters posted:Arm overuse injuries are among the most common types of injuries in both baseball and softball. In the new study, published in the journal Pediatrics, researchers sought to find out how common shoulder injuries are among high school players, and whether the nature of the injuries differs between boys and girls.

galaxy brain take: all amateurs should play softball, in school probably up until the high school level at which point players of any gender who are Serious About Playing can switch to baseball also: 16" is better than 12". it's four more better.

Before the 70's there were multiple women who competed with top-level men in baseball. Jackie Mitchell, Lizzy Murphy, Babe Didrickson, Mamie Johnson. Stubblebeard Grimes tried to get Kennesaw Mountain Landis to overturn the ban on women in MLB, but it remained in place until 1992. Nowadays it's much rarer for women to practice baseball because they generally practice softball instead, and the skills involved aren't very transferable.

e: ^some of my favourite bits of cricket fielding are run-outs - think a ground-ball play where a 3B or SS has to barehand the ball, except instead of having a big first baseman with a glove to aim at they've got a piece of wood less than 2 inches thick the only semi-complicated cricket rule that's actually necessary in high-level games is LBW and even that's not really any harder to understand than the infield fly rule all the other stuff is a holdover from the early days of the game and basically only ever gets used in village games where a team might (for example) have a tree in the field of play Julio Cruz fucked around with this message at 01:34 on Feb 18, 2021 |
