If Ducks baseball was as good as the softball team, probably no. But the softball team is fun to watch for sure.

Even if the Ducks baseball team was a top 5 team nationally I would still prefer watching the softball games. Maybe it's the cute girls in tight unis!

It's funny, but as a kid baseball was the most fun to play. But I can't watch it on TV at all, but can sit in a ballpark and sit through a game with a cold beer.

Just like other sports the young players are picking up bad habits from watching the pros. I've noticed a lot of stepping out of the box and undoing the Velcro strap on batting gloves, putting it back on, pulling up your left or right shoulder on your jersey just a lot of unnecessary crap due to the fact there are emulating the big boys. But all that being said I actually prefer to watch a good softball game one played at a high level.

It's not a matter of emulating anyone, most kids are taught to step out of the box between pitches, take a practice swing and to take a look at their third base coach. Not only does the hitter need to see if the coach is putting a play on, if you stay in the box and wait on the pitcher to get his sign and come set you tend to get stiff rather than being in a good position to hit.

This is the same reason you see hitters call time out and step out if the pitcher is taking too long.

Another thing i was taught playing baseball or bowling or shooting free throws from
a book i read is you keep your pre pitch or pre shot routine everytime. You become
consistant that way. It isnt for show, or trying to be like someone else its just a habit.

I don't think it's on the radio, but on tv either espn or espn2 at 4. Florida lost their first game 3-0 and UCLA won an exciting game in 11 innings I think.

Another bad decision by White sending Svekas with 2 outs. Haven't been able to watch too many games but I've seen 3 bad decisions at third sending your catcher who doesn't have that much speed when it's obviously not even going to be close. Anyone else think I'm imagining things? I know he's a great coach but have to shake my head at that one...

If she didn't stop she cruises in easily, but it was a bad decision on his part, or hers.
