LDOG 2,199 Posted July 21, 2021 #42 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Had not watched softball since panam 2019, forgot how boring it is. Specially when your prefered team has the pitching turn after wasting the chance to score, you just want to go watch something else thepharoah and LuizGuilherme 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, that's not the case here. Softball is just a different sport and is played on a smaller field on default. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grassmarket 2,757 Posted July 21, 2021 #44 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I actually prefer softball to baseball. It’s much faster, there’s fewer mass meetings, there’s no stepping in & out of the box, players are having fun etc etc. dcro and bmo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vektor 3,195 Posted July 21, 2021 #48 Share Posted July 21, 2021 TV graphics seem alright for these Olympics. It's nothing amazing, but at least it's clean, no weird stuff. The one issue I have with the broadcast is that for softball the square where the pitcher has to throw the ball is missing. I think that has been part of the broadcast for baseball/softball matches for quite some time now in the US, and it would help TV viewers to follow the action.

Despite what the IOC might think softball is not women’s baseball and baseball is not men’s softball. TBH as long as MLBers aren’t involves I’d rather see men’s softball in the Olympics over men’s baseball. Gianlu33 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
