You cannot compare a response to what happens in MLB. Those fields ALWAYS have lines. More than 75% of my games, FP or SP don't have lines and when they do, they are usually off center

Well that's rather confusing... I can't compare a response to what happens in MLB, when the topic of this conversation is an advanced mechanic used by MLB and our opinions on whether it would work in softball?? Huh? What did you think this topic was about, Mike?

My thoughts are based on the reality many of us deal with daily. Many, if not most, do not have the luxury of perfect lines on a field 50% larger. To include MLB makes for a lopsided comparison. Edited to add: MLB, with very few exceptions, has an umpire on the line for all plays which is another luxury that we in softball do not have on a regular basis. I just don't believe you can use MLB as a guideline for standard softball mechanics which would exclude a fair comparison. Sorta like when fans at a HS football game doesn't understand why they cannot review the play which denied their child a touchdown since they do it on the Sunday football games (and yes, I've actually heard people voice such a complaint). Then again, I'm not in Texas where they probably do have enough cameras at some games to make that accommodation ![]()
