Because I didn't invent the player designation systems of either sport, so just as I don't refer to the players as Ax, Bz (as in football), I don't use baseball nomenclature when describing a softball play.
I know baseball guys think everything about baseball is superior to anything about softball, but that is their problem, not mine.
The softball designation system for runners is just as logical as the baseball system. It is not confusing or hard to learn. What is confusing is using the wrong system (softball for baseball plays, and vice versa).
