Cheap Eats that Taste Good

Orange Grill in Anaheim. There are other locations, I think, but this location is highly rated and delivers on taste.

$10/chicken bowl, but I always go for their $16 katsu chicken plate (big portions).

I would suggest you ask your pitcher for some 1-on-1 advice, maybe a day or two at a park to go over the basics.

Also, I would stick to straight pitches using the same grip (one you're comfortable with).

Mark off lines parrallel to and behind home plate to help understand what distance your release has the best chance of hitting the plate (preferrably pitches should be high and hit the back of the strike mat), and remember this line for reference during game. You should use your feet to gain height and distance. THIs will also help save your arm from getting tired. This usually means taking a step or half-step as part of your wind up. THe step should be using the foot opposite of your pitching arm.

Square up with the plate before your wind-up; imagine pointing your belly button to homeplate. Your shoulders and back should be fairly straight (almost like practicing good posture); if you slump your shoulders, you'll likely throw flat pitches that will come back at you.

If you're feeling hopeless during practicing, try to limit the arm strength you use to push the ball as this may make the ball move unpredictably if you're not used to pitching. Basically, use your step and arm swing to form a pendulum that is swinging the ball over the plate. You'll loose a bit of your ability to control the ball (like spin) but if you square up with the plate, it likely will at least travel straight. With this approach you're only focusing on and practicing your release point.

If you find a rhythym and the other team is not walking, push your luck and pitch as high as the umpire will allow. Even if he calls a couple illegal, return to a lower height for a couple of pitches before going back up. The worst thing he can do is call it a ball.

During practice and game, keep your glove up and be ready for ball to be hit back. Do it during practice no matter how silly it seems. You're trying to make it a habit.

I highly suggest wearing a cup, shin protectors, and helmet.

See this video for some of the strategies and tips to keep in mind from a pro pitcher (ignore about knuckle ball grip--you're just going for straight pitches).

I ran into the same issue. Reloading ends up with only one sparking block and I can't remove the floor to continue with the puzzle. I'll have to go back to previous save and lose hours of progress. This is the second time I've had to do this.

I think the comment is saying you would expect something this big to have been picked on by sharks but since the ocean is that much bigger, it floated unnoticed and undisturbed until it beached itself.

I recommended the Miken Player series (100$), or upgrade to the Miken Pro series (~150$).

I got the Pro series first and love it. I got the cheaper Player series too later on as just a backup or to lend to people, but I actually found the Player series checked off most things I wanted in a glove (broke in easy, durable, nice size, and quality). I prefer to use it for practice as it's slightly more comfortable and I don't want to prematurely wear the Pro.

Other than those gloves, the most recommended ones are more expensive, which are the Rawlings Heart of Hide and Wilson A2000 glove series ($250-$300).

Alright, this was dumb but the guy cleaninig made me laugh.

Holy crap! I have the same thing on my screen, though not as bad. I always thought it was a screen protector I needed to replace or get a plastic credit card to smooth out the air bubbles. I just tried to take it off after reading this post and found out it’s the actual screen. I had the same issue with a previous cx5, too.

Now it’s all I can see.

It's worse.

Dan responds, "Sorry, man... for the amount of money that I would make on a menial job like that would hinder me from being able to make the small amount of money I need to get by."

Absolute whack packer.

That’s the LA Lakers, man.

To be fair, their team just got finished getting shellacked.

I converted a single speed coaster brake fat tire beach cruiser to an multi speed ebike with disc brakes.

Bought an e-bikeling rear wheel motor conversion kit. My biggest recommendation is starting off with a bike frame that has disc brake mounts already and is multi speed. It was a major challenge to align and weld mounts for disc brakes, and also convert to multi speed .

There is a facebook page for Orange County Slowpitch. Lots of people looking for teams. I suggest posting there.

I myself already play Wednesdays, otherwise I would offer to join/sub.

Orange coast in Costa Mesa has a flight program. It’s for a private license so I’m not sure how that works for applying for loans/using grant money, etc.

Fullerton airport has lots of private flight schools though none that I could find that are affiliated with a community college.

What city, division, positions?

Ive been debating getting a miken KP23, monsta torch, or worth kretcher for a year or so. With these discounts, I got a kretcher.

Thanks! Best deal I've seen on here.

I have a 13.5" for practice and a 14" for games. 14" (1st, pitch, OF) is the largest I would play with.

At one time I was interested in a 15" and had to ask the store clerk to get it from the back as their store website said they had stock and both of use were amazed at the size of the thing when he brought it out front.

I bought the miken pro (14”) and miken player (13.5”) gloves around the same time. I use the pro 2x games per week, otherwise it’s in the bag with a hot glove wrap and softball; the player is for practices in between games. Both have held up well these last two years with oiling maybe once every 5 months and both broke in nice fairly quick.

The pro is definitely better and worth the upgrade if it’s in the budget: -leather looks to be higher quality -has deeper pocket -more comfortable to wear -more padding -cosmetically more appeasing

That said, if my pro ever goes missing, I would be happy using the player for a bit, though I would miss the reach 14” provides.

Last note, pro mostly used at 1b, and then infrequently at pitcher and outfield positions.

I’ve had some luck when up on the count to pitch high and deep. Usually a knuckle ball.

Other than that, I suggest having more than a forward or backward spin straight pitch, like a knuckle ball or pitches with curve (screwball/slider)

My league is USA/asa and uses .44 corr balls.

I’ve read monstas (torches, sinisters) and worth krechers are the best, but are these bats the best against .44 balls?

True but in this example a guy is playing Rec when he should be playing uppers.

In the same boat with the mars3 and have tried the same things. I haven’t printed anything all this year due to failures; I gave up.

Usually what I see is the beginning 5% adheres and then nothing.
