If your 11 d/ds cant learn something about pitching from Michele Smith, theres no hope for you and that is about as ignorant thing as I've ever heard. You dont just miracalize gold medals around your neck. You dont just accidently become 1 of the top 3 pitchers of all time.

But I agree... They could at least use a softball graphic on ESPN.

I know of a complex nearby that has eight fields, and everyone of them have a pitching plate that is actually made of wood. I have always considered this an odd material for a pitching plate, but that is what they are all made of us. Does this mean, following your reasoning, that while I am at that complex, I should refer to the pitching plate as a "woody?"

I guess you come out early to help set up the field to the coach can lay the wood where you tell him/her?

Played in RI a few years back and their remote city fields (Providence) at which we played had a wooden PP AND HP with the head of four large bolts exposed on top of it. Really had to think twice about sliding at home

If you do, pardon me as I cringe every time she "toes the woody." Sounds like a kinky adult film...

Isnt the rule that they must toe the woody located within the mound?

Only on some of those films.

So you can't have a "woody" and "rubber" at the same time?

OK, we definitely are a bunch of pervs or something on this board. It's rearing some type of pornographic head.

OK, maybe a PA thing - I had the same thought.

Well I would call it a pitching plate. Were a coach or player to refer to it as a rubber, even though it is made of wood, I would not twist on it. When a coach calls it a mound, I do not get frantic. It means nothing. Its a term.

It is simply an irrelevent issue made of a common term that some umpires just LOVE to twist on. Maybe you all are bored. I got other things to concern myself.
