I thoroughly enjoyed seeing my girls play - or was that a creepy thing to say?.

Depends on how old you are. (Perhaps I shouldn't have used the word "depends")

Kendra went with Georgina Corrick with her first pick. Great choice. Not overly thrilled with the rest of her team but perhaps she can ride Georgina's arm to some wins. Her first game is tonight at 8:00 on ESPN2.

I've been streaming the softball world cup and I must say it is well produced (facilities and broadcast quality).

However, there were opportunities for improvement. The booth direction, camera positioning, and the camera people need experience shooting a softball game.

Specifically, the centerfield camera position (a staple in baseball/softball) should be shifted to the right (as viewed from CF) because the pitcher blocks the view of a left-handed side of the plate. The camera people do a marginal job of following the action (like they had no anticipation of what's going to happen). This was aggravated by the director's sloppy and late cuts from camera to camera.

There appears to be no replay reviews, but the umps were pretty good. Surprisingly the dish umps had pretty good and consistent strike zones.

The announcer seems to have a rudimentary understanding of softball. It was quite amusing to listen to him describe action. He has an English accent so I'm guessing he has a cricket experience - often substituting "match" for "game" among many other poor or non-softball choices of words. I'm guessing he was drafted into the role. Nonetheless, "he gave it a good go, eh what!".

It may seem like I hated the streaming with my criticisms, but in the big picture it was pretty good. I am grateful these games were available.
