I like watching more softball and giving more players a chance to play.

Run rule is great but it denies the fans an opportunity for more softball. When I'm at the park I plan to stay for 7 innings, not just 5 or 6. Let's use the extra innings to give the bench warmers an opportunity to play.

Jordan Lynch had one of the best weekends in the country for a freshman

I think Shumaker is going to be an absolute menace to the SEC.**
GobblerCE • 02/12/25 08:45 PM ET
Notice that she was the only ACC player

Cool story I have to share about Jordan
philvt93 • 02/11/25 09:35 PM ET
But it was a promise that Tech offered?
dallasvt • 02/12/25 12:34 AM ET
I imagine we discussed the roster

Part of getting the best is knowing ur product

If Duke ruled it out, I would have to think it was due to other promises/
dallasvt • 02/12/25 04:42 AM ET
Imagine how many more she could have had if we didn't run rule everyone**

Have some thoughts on that.

Very interesting proposed "Run Rules" ideas here and below***
A3genhokie • 02/12/25 12:18 PM ET
My thoughts are 2 innings are too much. All games through 6 innings then
UTPr0sim • 02/12/25 09:23 AM ET
Not sure I understand you. Or maybe you don't understand my idea?
laphroaig • 02/12/25 10:50 AM ET
I think I understand yours. Mine is pretty simple. Change the run rule

I like this for early season tournaments. A couple of caveats:
MidloHokie • 02/12/25 09:20 AM ET
Those caveats make sense. The idea is more softball for players and us.**
laphroaig • 02/12/25 10:51 AM ET
Right. The costs are baked in (facilities, ump, etc). Why not optimize . .
MidloHokie • 02/12/25 12:37 PM ET
Wouldn't work on those times one team has another game
ColWilliamFleming • 02/12/25 09:00 AM ET
The Colonel covered that. Makes sense.**
