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.

That's short for a pitcher-I noticed when watching softball by Domerduck

the pitchers are usually the tallest on the team. For example Kleist, the ace on the Ducks, is 5-11 and the other two Elish and Balint are both 5-8. CWS champ Oklahoma's ace Paige Parker is 5-11 and their other two pitchers are 5-10 and 5-8.

Still Florida's senior ace Delaney Gourley went 65-10 over her career is only 5-4. Her last two yaers she had 40 wins and her ERA was .72. She pitched 7 games in this years NCAA post season where she was 5-0 in 38.2 innings. She pitched 8 innings in the epic 1st game against Oklahoma, giving up 2 run in a no decision. She finished the second game in relief giving up one run in another no decision. Florida lost both games by 1. Still she ended her career with 2 national championships.

Wouldn't it be fun if 5 ft 3 Hollloway had a career like 5 ft 4 Gourley. Just wishing.
