I know that it is a long season and there are highs and lows for every team. What happened on Friday to Maryland, however, was something that this supreme being knew was going to raise its ugly head before too long. Maryland is mediocre, from top to bottom, including coaching. I don't care how many big name assistant coaches they get they are still controlled by the know nothing, headless horsewoman down there. Their senior pitcher is way way over her head when the big teams come a calling. The freshman doesn't belong in the ACC and the GW called it all along. The other pitcher, why even discuss her? Maryland didn't just get beat, they got destroyed. I know that crazy games sometimes happen and you must move on. But these were two goofy games against good teams. Where is Oakland when you need them? Middle of the pack is where they belong and when the upper echelon teams are on the schedule, Maryland just can't compete. And you know what, there is nothing to expect that to change. So if you are contemplating sending your daughter to Maryland to play softball, remember that you might get a couple of nice trips out of it but you are going to stuck in first gear and wondering what it would be like to play in a program that actually plays for something in May. In addition, the arrogance that you'd have to put up with by a head coach who is a wanna be, would be too hard for most people to take. Defender of Real Softball

Last week UMBC beats Towson 6-0, Mt. Saint Mary's beats UMBC 11-0. Coppin beats Mt. Saint Mary's 4-3. Does that make Coppin the best local D-1 team ...

Not sure Coppin has the most talent out of those teams but they are definitly the best coached. Towsons skill level has greatly diminished and the coach cant recruit. The Mount hit the ball at UMBC this weekend against everyone, they are a one person pitching show which really hurts them. UMBC is what it always is, a team lacking direction from the leader and a rotating support staff that's not qualified to coach.

Mr. TRT, now that is an interesting question. I think what your facts prove is that if that moron over at Coppin can assemble a bunch of castoffs and be able to compete and beat a Mt. St. Mary's, Towson and a UMBC, that those people at the aforementioned institutions aren't getting the job done. What are they doing to recruit better players and pitchers other than calling out of State coaches and getting players sent to them? Defender of the Recruiting Process

GW, they arent doing anything to recruit better players thats obviously why they are in the situation they are in. The primary job of these coaches is to not get the University in to trouble with the NCAA, do that and you keep your job. The AD's and Universitys could care less about softball, if they did these clowns wouldnt have jobs and changes would have been made many years ago.

My daughters Mizuno glove has "softball yellow" on the lettering and some of the trim. After a scrimmage H.S game the umpire suggested that she color the lettering and the trim so it is not the same color as the ball. He said some umpires will make you use a different glove. Is this a rule? and if so why would sell gloves with that color on them? Thanks

Is this a rule? and if so why would sell gloves with that color on them? Thanks From the 2011 rule clarification NFHS report: Gloves /mitts (excluding lace color and logo) containing more than two colors are illegal. In addition, any gray, white or optic colored marking (not just a circle) that gives the appearance of a ball is not permitted. The umpire determines if a marking gives the appearance of the ball or is distracting.

We had to take a bat out of the game yesterday due to lime green coloring, and my daughter had to take a Sharpie to her glove. At least it's being applied consistently...

I have never heard of a bat being taken out of a game because of the color of the bat. I thought that rule applied to gloves and apparel only. Besides, never heard of lime green balls.

I was quite shocked myself. I think it was a case of the ump realizing she'd have to deal with an irate coach all game, and our coach didn't make a stink about it, so that ended the situation. Not what SHOULD have happened, of course.

GW, Do you get to see any MD HS softball at this time of year? Does the cloud cover prohibit it?
