Welcome to Madness Monday, our digital deep dive where we toss out the easy answers and take on softball’s most talked-about debates. From dugout arguments to Twitter threads, these are the conversations that stir the sport—and we’re bringing them straight to you.
This week’s question: Which travel ball game-ending rule makes more sense?
In the heart of showcase season, how we end games says a lot about what we value. Is it tight schedules and predictable planning—or gritty innings that test a player’s will?
Here’s how you voted in our Dugout Discussion Polls:
Finish the inning – 95.45%
Drop dead time – 4.55%
The verdict? Overwhelming. But is it that simple?
Join us as we break down the implications, challenge the assumptions, and ask the big question: Are we building competitors—or just checking boxes?
This is where the madness starts.
