Since there is no men's softball or women's baseball why use the gender qualifier with each? Seems useless...

Why does it bother you so much

People are congratulating the team, but you're parsing language.
Or do you have to have a windmill to joust?

So which one of these applies to a softball player:
Definition of lady 1a: a woman having proprietary rights or authority especially as a feudal superior b: a woman receiving the homage or devotion of a knight or lover 2capitalized : VIRGIN MARY —usually used with Our 3a: a woman of superior social position b: a woman of refinement and gentle manners

You didn't answer my question

Do you just want to hop and tigernet and flex your superiority? Why do you chime in on every post congratulating the softball team because someone dared to use the word "lady" (oh the humanity!)?

Since there is only one softball team the only reasonable conclusion is old white men use the term to asterisk the softball program as something less than a man's sports team. Harken back to the days of baseball integration where black players were always noted as black or former negro league players. The same concept applies.

Otherwise why would folks use a descriptive term which is not needed and clearly does not apply based on the common definition of term?

Non-sensical arguments that were probably cool on 8th grade debate teams.

There are actually many other reasonable conclusions

But one would have to open-minded to consider them. I realize that does not apply to you.

I see no one touched your question so far. First, I'll say many have suggested that UConn bball coach have a stint at a men's bball program. If anyone were to make that jump, it'd probably be him.
I think he would. Rittman seems to understand fundamentals a little better than what monte's shown. But it's really way too early to make a comparison. Softball, you only need one dominant pitcher to win a ton of games. As you saw in the first game with Bama, you don't have to have outfield hits. You can perfect the chop.
Now, he does seem to teach good fundamental batting approaches but the juries still out on whether or not he can recruit SEC caliber talent.

Coached in the PAC and the national team. Congrats on a first full great season.
Baseball pitchers can notnpitch back to back amd our run production in the ACC post season was not that staggering. 4 runs scattered out over 3 games. 1st full season.
