This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

A little more... by 2Domer
She is rated the 28th player in her class by "FLO Softball" (whatever that is), and here's the blurb they have on her. (This was up prior to her verbal commitment to the Irish):
Payton is the ace on the preseason No. 1 ranked 14U team in the country and she flat-out knows how to win. She pitched a one-hit shutout to win the PGF 12U Nationals in 2013 and led the A's to a 7th place finish at the 14U level last summer. Payton is a workhorse and a warrior who always keeps her team in the game and not just with her arm--she has become an outstanding 3 hole hitter too. The freshman throws a screw, curve, rise and inside drop with her change and drop curve being her standout pitches. She has visited SEC and Pac-12 schools primarily and does have offers but is keeping her options open for now.
