Do The Other Positions Count ???

Those teams with just pitcher and catcher?

I personally have never watched a game with only a pitcher and catcher! They must be EXTREMELY talented! How do they get to those pop flys to the outfield! Or does this pitcher never have a ball hit, bunted or slapped? And I guess a walk is un-heard-OF! Where can I get a ticket to see this game? I would be interested in watching this! These 2 girls must be exhausted at the end of 7 innings!
IT IS CALLED A TEAM SPORT FOR A REASON.................that means there is a TEAM of players that play the game. You can't even play a game without at least 8 showing up! And just because baseball does something one way, it is not chistled in stone that it can only be done that way! When a team has mistakes every member of that team gets punished at the next practice. So when there is a great performance by a pitcher, doesn't the whole team get to celebrate the win? Yes they do! I mean there isn't this excluesive party that only the pitcher and catcher attend! Think about it!
Guru, I just wanna have
Peace, Love and Happiness, Everybody should try it!

 

Would it be better if we also listed along with the winning pitcher putouts and assists for each of the 9 players? Might take up a little more room.

 

Cheeze I'm sorry I wasn't trying to hurt your feelings

Come on Cheeze man, I wasn't trying to hurt your feelings, I just get so sick of hearing that if it wasn't for that pitcher we could have never won this game!! A lot of times a pitcher doesn't even donate to the offence of a team! Believe it or not a team can actually win with an average pitcher and good/great bats! It is more runs in your column that wins! Give the whole team credit for wins and losses!
Now I wish you all
Peace, Love and Happiness

 

Just this weekend during an ACC baseball commentator was talking about how there ought to be STATS on catchers how they save bad pitches form going to the back stop. A good catcher can make a pitcher look better at the mound if she is well versed in her job...I don't see anything wrong with keeping STATS on each player,and their contribution on winning or losing the game..the only thing that I don't like is the only STATS that we post are always the ones that make are DD's look like they're the only ones playing the game...GURU

 

I agree Guru.. My daughter plays 14U and 16U TB. I like how some parents talk about how good their kid did, but left out the errors and stirkeouts. That kills me. I praise my kid when she does good, but I also get on her when she doesn't. I don't brag on her because I don't want her to think she is better than someone else. I always tell her there is someone ALWAYS better than you. You can be as good as you make yourself. You work hard you will see results. Just my 2 cents.....

 

Nearest I have seen was the King and his Court and The Queen and her Maids

 

Other Stats

How about double plays...now that is a stat that the Atlanta Braves use to lead in the National League years ago...you hardly ever hear of that STAT in girls softball....
