Middle Wars, Great Defensive Plays, and Walk offs from the2020 Virginia Dual! 

That was a nasty middle war between BD and Dan Smith, haven’t seen one of those in a while.

Great defensive action, I'd rather watch good defense than a home run derby, I'm a retired 1st baseman and loved to see a lefty come to the plate. Signed the Hoover Vac man!

I'm still waiting on that strikeout compilation................................;)

As a softball pitcher this video puts a pit in my stomach

What i like is nobody complained about middle just came back and paid it forward

I always wore motorcross body armor just in case I played. Against a team that liked to blow up middle! After 5 or 6 putouts I’d show them my armor and they would stop. Between the body armor and helmet and mask I didn’t care you weren’t going to hurt me.

When I pitch and a lefty comes up I typically try to pitch them inside since they seem to be the ones who go middle the most on outside pitches. I am a lefty so I don’t need the lefty hate haha just typically speaking they seem to do it the most. Unless the game is that close and means something, it’s not worth me potentially getting hurt just to make an out.

One of the softball leagues need to TRY. Pitch to your own team; you get 2 pitches. It would move very quickly, and so much of the anger would be removed from the game.

Pitchers are definitely a different breed. 😬

We would never start the middle war we were a respectable team but we had no problem ending the middle war

This is the exact reason the middle rule got put into place

What does the 3base coach for Dan Smith do, pay for dinner?

What’s the point of trying to hurt a pitcher. If you cannot hit the ball out the infield, you shouldn’t be playing.

Kudos to bad draw pitcher for staying in the game.

That pitcher on the blue team cannot field his position if the ball hits the ground before it gets to him. I won’t talk about what happens when you try to start middle wars and get smacked down. How would do you like scoring 54 runs and getting beat.

It’s beyond obvious that the bats and balls are way too hot. If the pitchers have to wear catcher’s gear, it’s time to dial it back in. Let them use wooden bats and cork center balls and let the talent speak instead of the equipment.

Is that Dan Smith/TDB game archived anywhere?

Whoever edited this video... come on.. way to much dead space. We don’t need to see people taking warm up swings lol

So much middle :(

I pitch. I have zero respect for guys with this ability shooting the middle like that. I saw a teammate get his arm broke clean in half by a roided out neckbeard and had to miss work for 6 weeks because of it. Put the ball in play, don't take people's ability to make a living in jeopardy just to show off.
