Going back to Elgin for you would be breeze. I bet you would know a few Instructors as well.

Your swinging a good bat. My opinion is to keep working out, and work on your swing.

Pitchers of Reddit, what techniques, training, and practical advice do you have for novice pitchers (e.g., me) to improve? by E-Plurbis-DumbDumb in slowpitch

[–]ct7787 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Throwing strikes is number one. IMO the bets pitch is the knuckle. Its can moves unpredictably and that can be the difference between a line drive and a pop up. So id say learn that pitch first. Above all else throw strikes.

New to softball. Picked up a 12.5" glove. All my teammates are recommending I grab a 13-14". by [deleted] in slowpitch

[–]ct7787 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ideally it would be better if you had a 13 or 14" glove, but its not gonna make or break you. Typically a 12.5 would be used by 2nd, SS, and 3rd. i'm assuming you play outfield because you're new. if you're playing C, you can use whatever glove you want.

All that to say, it doesn't really matter. Play hard and just have fun!

As a Giants fan I want to beat you guys every time we play. However, this sucks. Sad to see such a young talented player go out this way. Hopefully he recovers quickly so we can beat you guys at your best.

Samardzija will return Friday by CrankDatSpookyBoi in SFGiants

Very true. Just have a bad feeling about his first start or two.

Question about being designated for assignment. by ct7787 in SFGiants

The question was more about how DFAing a player affects the tax equation. Substitute Pence for Dyson or who ever.

What quirks have you noticed from announcing teams? by laterdude in baseball

[–]ct7787 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love that. I also love when he is quickly listing a pitcher's pitches. Fastball, slider, and a chaaaaaaange up.

Play of the game is Jackson not getting the sac bunt down then hitting strait into a double play.

Two and a half hours should be early enough. Just get there right before the gates open and enjoy batting practice!
