  • How is this all we have for softball?

    Softball coverage isn’t great in general. Cookie cutter interviews with surface level answers that they recite over and over again. “I knew my team had my back.” Nonsense like that is most of every interview in this sport. But In the Circle is among the worst overall.

Tell us what team had the best batting average, which team won with defense, which players carried the teams! You said nothing about how the games actuall... more
