Interesting Poll

[mrmotivation]

I thought that a poll like this would be interesting. How many of you do softball only or softball/baseball?

For me, I only do softball. I can't stand the slow play of baseball and the boring games. My ADD (self diagnosed) just won't let me sit out there and do it. That is why I choose softball and I love it. Fast games, great play action, and most of the times the coaches are pretty laid back and easy to work with.

So which do you do?

90% softball myself. Fill in for baseball only, although I do bother to go to the FED baseball meetings and take the tests and such.

Another interesting question, would be fastpitch and / or slowpitch softball.

Shall we make a public poll on that? Or hide the voter's answers?

I'm also usually 90% or more softball with a bit of baseball thrown in. Since the adult leagues here have gone to wood bats, I'm starting to call a few of those games. I may end up with 35-40 baseball games this year - out of about 250.
On the nights I'm not working games, I'm out observing & evaluating the softball umps who want to see about moving up. I'll probably observe at another 50 games or so this year.

When working baseball, what mechanics do you use?

[Steve M]

Mike,
When I'm doing baseball, I try to use baseball mechanics. It's a different game and I try to work it so I'm working to that standard.
So I don't have any sympathy for those who work baseball using softball mechanics or those who work softball using baseball mechanics.
