Re: Softball Big Ten Tournament
Agreed. But as the B1G Conference champion, their terrific overall record and a number of big-time wins, I can't imagine the Ducks won't host a regional (which I understand, generally, to go to the top 16 seeded teams).
I think the biggest concern is the ineffectiveness of Grein. She didn't start (which seems strange enough), but I think this is her third straight poor outing. I don't see how the Ducks will be able to do much of anything in the postseason unless she can turn things around.

Too many games pitched. Hit a wall.

Re: Softball Big Ten Tournament
Maybe so. I think we all realize that softball pitching (underhand) is much less taxing on the pitching arm than baseball pitching (overhand), which allows for softball pitchers to pitch in consecutive games. So I don't know that the Ducks have overused Grein, but maybe now that she'll get a significant period of rest before the first game of regionals (Friday I think) she'll really benefit from it.
