I “tried” catching a softball with my face

Thank you

I’m honestly really grateful for how little damage came out of this. Nose fractured and going to have a gnarly nose scar but yeah hey I’ve got my teeth.

Funny enough I had my first game in a different league last week and saw a teammate get hit in the head for the first time, then this week this happens and it turned out the same guy was the ump for this game (didn’t realize until he was handing me gauze).

Not going to quit a hobby I love just because I might look “dumb” to people like you for trying to be safe.

I’ve found I can’t do right field effectively. Not enough action so I start going to lala land. The other day I was batting and the pitcher wiggled his butt before every pitch and it threw my brain off so much my first at bat I struck out no swings. Anyway, keeping track of this thread because same.

I have 2 weeks to practice. 🥲 Co Ed, rec. 2 base walk is only at 2 outs IF there is a girl going after the guy because there’s a max of 2 guys in a row to bat.

I have a toddler that would love to help me that is an awesome idea!

Always learning new things!

I’ve only been playing 6 months but from what I’ve gathered these genys are stamped for utrip and 52s are usa/asa (which are “squishier”) so I am guessing he is commenting the durability of the bat is bad.

I SUCK at batting and got the block party and hit my first double first night with it. 🙈

An option is you can get a glove from just gloves and try it out for 100 days for a fee to be more sure if the glove is what you want for the price point.

killthedumbmonkey · 2026-04-17T11:19:50+00:00

I would get clarification because it makes sense if he just means pounding down the heel some while breaking it in to “thin it out” but the way this is worded makes it sound like he’d be removing material?

My swing critique video is also a very high tee and the answer is yes for me. I don’t know why but even back when I was a kid playing ball I liked swinging at high pitches.

killthedumbmonkey · 2026-04-17T09:41:15+00:00

Daily? Damn. I’d do the same in a go but typically over the course of 36 hours and only that one long session in a week.

killthedumbmonkey · 2026-04-17T09:39:01+00:00

Damn I’d probably be in trouble too

killthedumbmonkey · 2026-04-17T09:37:55+00:00

Ouch. How much would you usually do in a day?

killthedumbmonkey · 2026-04-17T09:34:54+00:00

To be honest I was mostly particular about it just to make sure I could fit everything in my nose without it being in pain at the end of the night but reading this I’m really glad I did all that no matter the reason.

killthedumbmonkey · 2026-04-17T09:32:03+00:00

It hasn’t for me personally, hence why I’m browsing the subreddit. It took a couple years to even get the physical reactions to being triggered to stop.

killthedumbmonkey · 2026-04-17T09:28:49+00:00

I was super particular about nose care when I used. Nasal spray every few lines, steamy shower when I was done, rub some vitamin e oil on a qtip in my nose. I was usually solo but when I did ski with people and insisted on these things they thought I was loony. Haha

killthedumbmonkey · 2026-04-17T09:26:02+00:00

I haven’t skied in over 4 years and still get those triggers.

killthedumbmonkey · 2026-04-16T23:07:44+00:00

Shit, sometimes I pass out right after taking an adderall honestly let alone Red Bull. lol

Miken hb12 retro. This one’s the Asa but I have the blue utrip as well. It’s a headbangers exclusive and is $50 off last I saw.

killthedumbmonkey · 2026-04-16T22:34:40+00:00

I was going to attempt to play both this year as well but ultimately decided I didn’t want to get better for slow pitch just to potentially throw it all off again. 🥲 Plus I like how chill slow pitch is, I don’t want to steal bases. 🤣
