By "this decade", I actually meant my 50-to-59 years old decade. If I can get in any kind of playing shape, I may lobby to play a game with one of you guys. Most of my friends are dropping out of the game, too, so finding a team willing to take a charity case for a night might be tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Rolled my ankle on Sat playing basketball, didn't sprain since I play with braces but just tweaked it. Was going to sit out today but team needs me. Lots of guys out of town, so this should be fun. There is pain but got swelling down and walking normally. It's my left foot so I'm tentative to plant it when I swing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Critic Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Not softball-related, but something kind of unbelievable for me. A buddy of mine just told me about this 40-and-over Friday night rat floor hockey thing he does and I think I'm actually going to get back on the floor. I NEVER thought I'd actually play any kind of hockey again, but I am starting to get the itch back. I'm even going to.....(my fingers are not letting me type this).....I'm going to.....to.....join a gym to try to get in some sort of playing shape!

Kyyle23 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 So we won 21-1 yesterday, but had a little incident with the opposing pitcher. One of our players stands behind the batters box before the pitch, and runs up on the ball when it is pitched. I have played with him for 8 years now, it has never been complained about before. The pitcher starts saying it is illegal and saying to check the book(which the ump did, and found nothing). It completely took the pitcher out of his game an he got so irritated about it and would not stop complaining. I just found it funny that such a minor thing could bother a guy so much.

I'm pretty sure you do have to be in the batter's box. I kind of agree it is kind of bush league. Same with batter's who stand 5 feet off the plate. Gives the batter an even greater advantage.

I walk up to the ball, especially after seeing how the pitcher pitches. If there is a box I stand in the very back corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 I despise people that get all bent out of shape about little things in softball.

And this guy got so bent out of shape about it that he pitched like s*** for the rest of the game. In the first inning he actually was good, he fielded a few comebackers and pitched well. Once that hitter got in his head we just went off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lost in the playoffs wednesday and the other team was a huge bunch of douche bags. Plowing over girls who are trying to tag them, screaming when the ball was in the air, just being total a-holes. I'v won alot of titles in that league and it's not that hard to win with class. Apparently this team and the one they faced after us in the title game got into a fist fight over a player they thought shouldnt be eligible to play. f***ing stupid. It's a co-ed softball league fellas, come on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently this team and the one they faced after us in the title game got into a fist fight over a player they thought shouldnt be eligible to play. f***ing stupid. It's a co-ed softball league fellas, come on. I play first, and I made a few nice scoops and stretches in the first few innings. One I their guys hit to our third basemen and he short hopped it to me and I muffed the scoop. As the ball was coming to me, their dugout was screaming at me and one guy sarcastically screamed "scoop it scoop it yea...!" when the ball was on the way to me. It distracted me a little, their dugout was on the first base side and it was right in my ear. Regardless, it hit my glove and I should have scooped it. The next hitter hits a low line drive to our third baseman. He makes the catch and throws behind the guy at first and doubled him off. As I caught the ball, I couldn't help it, I yelled "scoop it scoop it yea..!" Lol, the guy called me an asshole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Umpire in our game warned the other teams catcher for faking a tag at home when our guy scored. We only won by 20. My foot was fine until my first swing. When I planted it got aggravated. Was tough to play on but luckily we destroyed them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 We were up 13-0 on Monday about 15 minutes into the game. Then it started pouring. Now we have to replay the game. We had 3 inside the ballpark home runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 We lost our first game this fall tonite, 17-13. We gave them at least 5 runs on dropped balls in the outfield. Not our best defensive effort. I went 3/4 with a double and 2 rbis, but made the last out of the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Played in a tournament today. We got beat badly in our first game and barely lost in the second, so we were the last seed out of 10. We then dismantled the 7th and 2nd seeds by a combined 25 runs. Then everybody got really tired and we gave up 13 runs in one inning in the semifinals. Pretty good 4th place finish after starting off really badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
