chw42 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Oct 23, 2014 -> 04:54 PM) Bad baserunning, and not hitting the cutoff man on defense. In my men's league it's hit or miss, but in the co-ed leagues I do sometimes, any hit to the OF is an automatic double because I just watch the throw and take off rounding 1st. It's rarely ever thrown in timely, or to the right person. In my men's league, you can usually swipe 2nd on throws home because everyone wants to be the OF hero who guns a guy out at home, so I take 2B on those throws every time. lol you sound like Hawk. But yes, it is very important to hit the cut-off man. Overthrows and throwing it around the infield like idiots annoys me to no end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 We were undefeated and playing the team who hasn't won a game in the last regular season game. We went in all cocky and the other team brought different players than the rest of the season. We were down 10-0 after 1, but ended up winning 35-20 after not scoring in the first. I hit two off the fence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of rainouts didn't help. We'll play two next week to win the league. But yes, the guy who runs it lacks creativity and changing on the fly. We're undefeated playing the winless team and if we lose, I wouldn't mind. I'm kinda over softball for the year. We don't get anything for winning playoffs, just regular season, so f it.

Brian Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Wouldn't have been so bad if there was no wind, but yikes. Ball was going nowhere and we only won by 8. Semifinals and finals next week but we're missing our pitcher and another one of our best players so will be tough. We already won the money but want to finish the undefeated season and not want the team that beats us to think they deserved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 We hit 18 homers in this past tournament we played in (this was co-ed). Unfortunately we got gassed in the finals and lost. Still, second place ain't that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T R U Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 So I hit my first home run tonight, it was a bomb to left center and cleared the fence by 15-20 feet. It was also the out that ended the game because our manager didn't ask for home runs at the coin toss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T R U Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 QUOTE (chw42 @ Nov 14, 2014 -> 10:45 PM) How does that work...? Basically you have to agree to home runs at the coin toss or they are outs. Usually they agree to one and one, which means each team can only hit one, after that one they become outs.

It doesn't seem to do you any good to disallow them, especially in your league where it seems like they aren't easy to come by Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 (edited) We won our first co-ed tournament today. It was in the 40s and misting/drizzling the whole time. I made it worse by sliding for a ball at the fence, then hitting my knee and shin on said fence. I did have the walk-off hit in that game though, so I had that going for me.

While I was doing that, the ump called someone else over to do it because they were cold and wanted to start the game and they didnt know what to do.

Iwritecode Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I'm supposed to join a Thursday night league in a few weeks. It will be the first time I've played in any kind of organized league since HS. Other than helping out at my daughter's practices, playing around a bit in an empty field or hitting in a batting cage a handful of times I haven't really done much baseball activity in the last 20 years. So it should be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Got email this week we start at the end of April. I'm not really excited about it. Maybe stress at current job that is sucking the life outta me is a factor. May just be an alternate. Maybe my tune will change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I've been locked in this week. Hit 3 homers on Tuesday (2 didn't count since it's 1 HR). Went 4-5 yesterday and almost hit for the cycle today (came 10 feet short of a HR in last PA). Believe it or not, I decided to mimic Jose Abreu's stance and moved up in the box. It's been working wonders. I'm keeping my hands back and I'm absolutely right on the ball. When in doubt, study the best hitters in baseball.

Kyyle23 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Spring season finally began for us. Last night i hit a shot past the right fielder and as i was rounding first i blew out my cleats, that was a first. On my instep the shoe tore open pretty much from toe to heel. I ended up with a triple but i would have had a homer easy if that didnt happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
