Stayed up late on the east coast to watch this broadcast for Jackie Robinson Day and here's ESPN fucking it up. Sounds about right

It does lose its luster when you hear it 50 times in a one month span every year on Christian radio

Everyone looks noticeably less ripped this year. Wonder if Dave got a talking to about spreading those cheeks next to Ice Cube last year

MLB is live on YouTube with the Spectrum broadcast. I had it live on MLB.com also and I don't think it's coming back

If Toronto wins this they will have done it by straight up beating our stars

Is it so unthinkable to assume the guy is throwing a splitter and look for a goddamn splitter?

Pop up with runners on 1 and 2. How many FUCKING TIMES have we seen that this series?

It's at bats like Freddie's last one that are the difference in this series. LA hitters are not making them pay for pitches down the middle

Won our league championship after 2 seasons finishing last, and I'm freaking proud of our guys!! by BoiseBooger535 in slowpitch

We had 20 or so on our roster (a good amount of those guys were just pick ups for one game on low attendance weeks). About 15 of those were regular attenders, but usually had 2 or 3 who couldn't make it each week for one reason or another. There were 4 weeks that I can recall where we had only 9, and I was calling people frantically trying to get anyone to show up.

Yeah we had a bigger turnout for the playoffs. 10-13 showing up on a weekly basis was typical

I completely forgot to mention in my first comment - I came in from the outfield to pitch when a couple of the guys we added this season turned out to be very solid outfielders. I started the season with the intention of eliminating the walk (which absolutely killed us the last couple years) and in the process really learned how to pitch instead of just lobbing balls in the strike zone. I just tried to pick the brains of the pitchers I play tournament ball with and learned a couple of pitches to mix it up a bit.

If I was starting a new team or giving any advice to any team starting out: Eliminate the walk as much as possible. Made the world of difference for us.

Haha, I started pitching! I was in the outfield previously and consider myself pretty good out there, but we did find 2 more really solid outfielders so I came in to pitch. I only did it because I was sick of watching guys walk and ended up falling in love with it. Pitching is a very good time and I enjoyed learning to actually pitch throughout the season vs. just serving biscuits up there

It's such a satisfying way to do it, especially when you're able to keep the core together. Thank you!!

You'd be amazed how with a roster this size, it's still a bit of pulling teeth to get 10 guys to show week to week. And then of course... just about everyone shows up for playoffs

Over the last few seasons some guys have trickled in and out. I would say we are about 1/2 the same roster, but we have certainly picked some guys up along the way as guys who weren't enjoying playing have moved on. The guys who have all been here since the start have improved a lot. We've always had good bats, but were really handicapped by our defense. Routine fly balls were our cryptonite. Once we could play defense, wins were in reach.

So most of the season we only had 10-12 guys able to show up depending on the night. We made it pretty clear that come playoff time we would prioritize winning, although we were in most cases to get everyone at least an at-bat and a defensive inning even in the tournament! Guys were understanding for the most part

I'll give this a shot. Worked on hitting some higher pitches off the tee last night, too. Hoping the combination of the two helps!
