I have recently become a professional fast pitch softball watcher. I feel that five games in one day qualifies me as such. I was a little lost at first, but it didn't take long to figure out the differences from baseball.
1. Courtesy runners are confusing
2. Some of the girls don't just stand there and swing. They run towards the pitcher with their bat and hope they make contact. (How it looked to me anyways)
3. You can't lead off. You stay firm on the bag until the pitcher releases the ball. Then you run half way to the next base before going back if it wasn't hit. (Again, just how it looked to me)
4. Pitchers make great faces while pitching
5. Everyone in the stands becomes a cheerleader. And there are some interesting things said.
I enjoyed watching softball and have come up with my own softball Pep talk. Here it is:
"Alright, let's go! You got a bunch of ducks on the pond here so see it and drive it. Hard and level, hard and level. We gotta battle right here so swing if it's there. Don't chop, swing level 'cause if we gonna win we gotta hit the ball. Come on blue, that was way outside! Let's go five one! Be a hitter
