Definitely bad news, anytime a team loses its Ace. But they've been doing great this season, Yanez will be back next season, time for the pitchers this season to step up.

     Yes, feel for Yanez with the year she was expecting to have. Hard hit on the team, but this is a resilient group that’s learning on the move how to step it up. 
 

     Anyone understand the mechanics of the under-hand throwing motion and the type of stresses it can create?  Lacking any real knowledge, I’ve always heard that the differing softball throwing motions create less torque than the over-hand motions do, but the cumulative effect of high stress repetitive motions in both have to have a lot of similarities you’d think.
