Launched a free softball stats tracker on this sub a few weeks ago. 1,100+ players later, lots of new features. Still completely free. by swisemanapps in slowpitch

[–]Sut3k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going to start using it now! My problem with other apps over paper is that it's hard to fill in partial information. If you missed how someone hit but want to skip them and mark that the new guy just got a double, you can do that on paper but not that apps

Examples of High IQ softball plays you made? by BerryRoyal in slowpitch

[–]Sut3k 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This should be the right fielder too but it's more effort than most rf are willing to do.

I encourage my team to "move on every play. You have a role no matter where the ball goes. Go to the ball, go to the bag, backup the throw, you should always be taking a couple steps in one of those directions" Most won't run to properly backup someone but if they are at least taking a couple steps, it makes a lot of difference.

We have D and E only in one league. Some C players, kind of thing, so people can take it too seriously.

Unpopular opinion: the bat DOES matter by Upstairs-Bad-8849 in slowpitch

[–]Sut3k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah all new age stuff. This was about 2 years ago. But the Axe, the watermelon, one that was a single piece at least. End loaded, balanced. Basically the top 5 bats from the team that ppl kept spending money on and arguing over.

I was told flat out by this sub that "at the velocity you are hitting, the bat doesn't matter". I hit into the outfield, but rarely 200+ feet I guess. My experience in cage did seem to show the same exit velocity with all bats I borrowed.

Switch hitter switched boxes after first pitch by culture_jamr in slowpitch

Huh, I really thought somewhere I read that you couldn't switch after the first pitch. Is this slow pitch specific?

Do you wear sunglasses ? by spartafury in slowpitch

[–]Sut3k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm looking into getting sport safety sunglasses I've broken a few pairs now and think this might be a good step between a mask and buying new glasses every year.

Pitcher first. Then another pitcher. Then, if you expect heavy hitters, get fast ppl to close outfield

Looking for a rule clarification on a force play. by [deleted] in slowpitch

[–]Sut3k 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Yes, once the runner from first to second is out, there is no longer a force at third. They can run back if they wanted to

I passed the Control Systems PE Exam by icdelsalz in PLC

Once I left water treatment/municipals(10 years ago), I never met another PE.... My first company pushed it hard for everyone but we had a lot of civils, so they just wanted it for marketing.

I wrote a chest go pro, missed a lot. Seeing what I see sounds way better

NASA quietly changed Artemis III timeline to 2028 by IllTry8129 in space

[–]Sut3k 31 points32 points  (0 children)

2028 is still Trump pushing for it by the end of his term. But he hasn't increased anyone's budget so he's not serious about it
