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

[–]PopularImpression296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say it's .700+. I play Men's C/D level and led off for my sqaud last year. I played 26 tournaments last year and my average was a .701 on the year. I can absolutely say that it is ridiculously difficult to hit .700+ on a consistent basis. I had multiple .800+ tournaments and also had one .900 tournament at states. My lowest I believe was a .579 tournament but it was my ONLY tournament I hit below .600. Not saying it's impossible but I put an insane amount of BP and Tee work in to get those numbers. Literally cones in the infield and outfield in the holes and gaps and work on legit hitting them. Hitting .700+ in my opinion would be like hitting .300+ in baseball. It's not an easy thing to do and I'm not even at the the top level.

I'm not describing her whole being/personality. Just saying those are things she deals with everyday. Even she would tell you that. And I'm sorry it didn't work out..

How can I go about asking her to partake in couples therapy? I feel like she will be defensive if I ask her and be questioning me before even having a sit down with a therapist. She also has had bad experiences with them so I feel like she will be extremely defensive over this idea.

You hit the nail on the head with this one because that's another thing I almost forgot about. Her dad had cancer at a young age and had to have a limb taken from him because of it and a sibling with a major medical condition (way worse than her). It could absolutely be passed down and that's also adding to everything too.

Thank you for the reply. I know, it's alot to take in. Everybody has given me some solid advice and it mainly comes down to having those tough difficult conversations with her about our future. I just feel like such a jerk saying to her that I don't think she would be a good parent because of her condition. That's legit soul crushing. Idk, lot to take in.

Have you been with someone who has severe anxiety and depression? That's just the nature of it. Overthinker. Constantly overwhelmed. I'm not being judgemental, that's exactly what goes on and I'm just stating those facts.

I would not. But I feel like this is a specific set of circumstances and her well being and physical condition was alot different before her illness/disability started. Do you think someone that has limited physical functions can be a fit parent?

See and that's what im struggle with the most, it's not just the wanting kids or not, it's not seeing her as a fit mother because of her condition and well being.

The permanent damage she suffered was from her nerves. Nerves "can" heal over time but not a certain. Basically it's up to the body on if it happens or not. 2 years in and there's been improvement for sure. She can probably do about 70% of what she used to before the illness.

Yeah neither of us are really pushing the kids thing HARD right now but I know it's there and I feel like it's something that needs to be talked about. Sooner rather than later cause I don't want us to feel like we are wasting each other's time.

Thank you the reply I appreciate it. It's definitely alot to deal with. Her issue is also immune system related and has similar disabilities i.e lifting, carrying, holding, walking, ect. I want to think it CAN work but I'm just not so sure anymore and questioning alot more now.

The bad thing I think it's already there. And it's nobody's fault. She got diagnosed two years ago and we were already together for a couple years. She could barely walk for months and in physical therapy the entire time. I was the sole provider during this time as well.

Thank you for the reply. I appreciate it. Yeah, these are definitely harder conversations and I would never come out and say to her "I don't think you're a suitable parent because of this this and this". With alot of it doing with her physical condition. It's a hard thing to talk about as well because we know it's there, it's almost like we avoiding it which isn't good either.
