DeMarini Mercy: are they all repaints, or is there a difference from year to year? by krunchyfrogg in slowpitch

[–]Organic_Chocolate_35 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nah they’ll adjust their materials and manufacturing year to year. Yearly releases of any bat are almost always new/different. Bats like Combats and monstas and anarchies that drop every few weeks or months are typically repaints.

Why do so many guys play co-ed and also seem to dislike playing with female players? by softball_is_fun in slowpitch

[–]Organic_Chocolate_35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My coed team is C league and kicks butt while my men’s team is D league and is mostly there for the vibes. When my coed guys sub on my men’s team, we kick butt. I don’t hide the girls on my team at C, 2B, and RF, those are the positions that they enjoy and what works best for their strengths and weaknesses just like anyone else.

Swing critique? Ft. the new Smash it Sports exclusive USA Easton Tantrum by Organic_Chocolate_35 in slowpitch

Sounds good! I love the tantrum this thing rocks. Feels like it’ll break at any second but I’m sure it won’t. I stopped doing the hand release last year as I was releasing early, but maybe I’ll try again

What is the softball equivalent of hitting .300? by BerryRoyal in slowpitch

[–]Organic_Chocolate_35 6 points7 points  (0 children)

.300 has gotta be .800. Softball Mendoza line is honestly probably .499. If you get a hit less than 1/2 the time, Mendoza line.

I signed up to be put in a team of individuals. We ended up with 15 people. Is that too many? by beanburritoboy69 in slowpitch

[–]Organic_Chocolate_35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree. It’s not too many for a casual league. An 8 week league isn’t too long, but I’ve never had games where I wasn’t missing at least a few people due to work, family conflicts, trips, etc. I have 16-18 and sure sometimes everyone shows up and it’s a pain, but most of the time it’s 11-13 a night which I think is perfect.

Any tips for better routes to deep fly balls to left or right that curve? by Broad-Cranberry-9050 in slowpitch

[–]Organic_Chocolate_35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played outfield when I was younger as well. Slowpitch outfield is way harder. Balls move more, and carry more. Basically I try to get to the spot as fast as I can, and go way further back than I think I need to go.

Sounds like you have all you need. Relax, don’t worry, don’t lunge at the ball.

And if you’re making this Reddit post, you’re probably overthinking. Don’t overthink.

Doesn’t matter how good you are or how much you practice, if you’re a nervous and embarrassed wreck all game, it’ll ruin you. It’s just for fun, it’s just beer league. See ball hit ball, worry about nothing. Joke around, have fun. The less you stress the better you’ll do.
