I much prefer the longer bases and the aggressiveness required to get the next base on balls to the outfield.
I prefer the bigger field and the more athletic plays that it requires in both infield and outfield. Covering ground, and making a longer throw.
The number of errors in softball drives me nuts, especially dropped fly balls and booted ground balls, although I realize the infielders are very close to the plate. Again, I primarily watch Texas softball, and they seemed atrocious in the field.
I prefer the pitching strategy in baseball. Those girls throwing underhand never wear out!
What drives me the most insane is the way lefthanders are 1/2 way to first when they swing in softball. It's weird looking (ala Japanese baseball players) and it uglies up the game to me.
Just my thoughts. I still enjoy softball though. Enjoyed the conversation, as well.
