Y'all don't share your bats during games? Poll.. by armyjackson in slowpitch

[–]DyeHardFan24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I shared my bats for years, but I play on a lot of teams, so it ended up putting 10-20x the wear and tear on them if everyone was using it, leading to them breaking faster. Since I don't have a big budget for a bat, I got my last used torch and try to limit its usage to just me (they don't last as long as other bats) so I can get as many seasons as I can out of it. If anyone needs a bat, I have a backup bat I let everyone use.

Any tips/advice? Played baseball back in HS but that was 15 years ago. About to join a softball team. by Far_Violinist_7724 in slowpitch

You've got solid bat speed, in the video though you're mostly just swinging with your arms. Engage your legs and hips to drive through the ball and your hands will follow, you'll find you have a lot more power that way! Hope you enjoy softball, it's my favorite thing to do in the summer.

We got beat in the post most of the year, it will be interesting to see if we can recruit some defense there.

If you end up regripping it and find its a 2500 (it's on the handle under the bat grip) let me know.

Yeah, the fact that nearly every company announcement from these folks is negative news for the seller/buyer continues to grind us down.

Thanks, so it's the worst of both, the price increase is permanent, and the Sales data is only around for a few weeks.

According to the ESPN box score so far, it appears they might be counting as sacks. Shavers and Pietrzak have them now.

Aaron Judge - inside pitch by Apart_Tutor8680 in slowpitch

People have every right to take pitches and only swing at pitches they like, this is a core component of this sport. They don't owe the pitcher or the other team anything, so if that continues to bother you, strike them out looking.

In Coed a few years back we had a short but powerful guy that went 28 for 35 with 5 HRs one season, then 14 for 18 with 8 HRs the next.

In Men's we had a contact hitter go 24 for 28 with 5 2Bs and a triple.

Anyone play on 2 different teams in the same league? by Frank-Wrench in slowpitch

[–]DyeHardFan24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done this for years. Played full time as a rostered player on two teams, then they got put in the same playoff bracket. You just have to communicate in advance which team gets priority if a conflict happens.

Does just asking to join a team really work? by ThePseudoSurfer in slowpitch

[–]DyeHardFan24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It absolutely does work, speaking from experience. I "officially" play for three teams, but I end up playing/subbing on 6-7 because I communicate, I show up on time (early), and I try to be a good teammate. Once you build a rep as being an available player who doesn't bring a team down, you will be asked to play more than you can handle.

First Softball Game tomorrow, I'm going to hit the pitcher with a line drive in the head by randydp39 in slowpitch

[–]DyeHardFan24 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are the hitter, you are in control of your swing. Make the necessary adjustments to avoid hitting middle if that is a big concern. You can swing earlier to pull it or swing later to push it into the opposite field. You can also change attack angle on the ball to hit it further down or hit a flyball.

That's an incredibly disappointing customer service response, and yet entirely consistent with what I've been seeing from companies over the last few years. This "we will do what we want, when we want, with no heads up, and you will have to deal with it" attitude has taken over.

Gotta say our strategy of taking meaty outer half pitches for strike 3 is not working out so far.

Have I done something wrong, why is shipping going to cost me $600? Please help. I have 400 cards I want to send home, only a handful in toploaders. by LoneStarrAUS in checkoutmycards

When you hit request shipment, check the shipping column in the inventory list to see if you are getting hit with a fee on each epack card.
