Middle retaliation question.....

[TEXSTRO]

**Cool story brah alert**

So I get two strikes on which Is the norm cause I always wait for first strike. I get a pitch on the outside and it it goes back up the middle and hits the pitcher. It bounce first though hits him in the shin. Not intentional at all. I apologize and walk to first cause the ball somehow made it to the outfield. They start running their mouth. Blue takes my bat. we kept quiet cause obviously to them its a big deal we understand. Their next at bat they tried to hit middle intentionally which I understand. They want revenge. The problem is they tried 4 or 5 times and failed throught the next two innings. On top of that my last at bat I hit one passed third I will go ahead and brag and say it was a rope. I get to second and I overhear some dudes in the dugout not even playing telling their third baseman to plow me over if i make it to 3rd. I pitch so i understand being pissed off but I know its bound to happen. It will always happen. I dont understand why these MEN cry like girls when they get hit. Its the nature of the beast. Now the question. If plan on retaliating and you make it obvous how many goes should you get at it if you fail the first time?

I never shoot middle on purpose.

 

[BigSherm619]

I wouldn't try it at all. There are better ways to get back at a team then trying to kill their pitcher.

 

[vipvanilla]

Too many guys w/ small cranks trying to make up for it by driving full size trucks and shootin middle. This is nuts. It's a game and the pitcher is just as much a fielder as anyone else. If you don't want that risk to be there, then start the ASBWPMOA League (Adult Softball But With Pitching Machines Only Association). Idiots!

 

[NDshotokan]

It's softball, seriously. Retaliation is for ******* and hoodlums. If a guy wants to get tough, climb in the cage and prove it. Otherwise, play the game.

 

[Deerock]

If someone shoots middle at me and says sorry pitch, i say "it's cool". Let it go and keep playing...

Wierd, you mean the ball can actually get hit to all parts of the field and each player has a glove? Hey as a pitcher, I excpect balls being hit middle, its a position. Intentionally hitting middle to hurt the pitcher...that's a different story.

 

[RalphG427]

If at first you don't suceed, try and try again.

I think things are a bit different in our neck of the woods. A pitcher was wearing shin guards at a tourney last weekend and his teammates were teasing him about it. My first at-bat I scorched one ankle high and bounced right off his shin guards. I immediately apologised, but he was cool about it. He's like "that's why I bought these things!".

If that were SoCal, I probably would have had to pull out my gat in case snoop dog stepped to me.

 

[rlopezjr1977]

I would of hit middle every time up if you have a legit bat it is part of the game and that is why they allow the pitcher to wear a glove. If my pitcher gets drilled he does not have to say one word to any of us and he knows we have his back.

 

[Ferrari1]

if you said sorry i wouldnt blow middle up at all....its part of the game tho...middle is always open...but im guessing your a pull hitter since u hit the outside pitch up the middle then another ball hit at 3rd so it doesn't seem like you did it intentionally anyways, an on top if it you made a class act move by saying sorry...this is GTG

 

[falko1266]

That same story is a weekly storyline in our leagues. All you can do is go about your buisness... If they hit your pitcher once
then they believe they'd be even. It's stupid tho really
It's ok to hit middle...Not ok to attempt to hurt someone

 

[TEXSTRO]

They end up getting run ruled because they kept going 3 up and 3 down trying to go middle. To top off the night only about half of their team shook our hands at the end of the game. I imagine they must of went home and beat their wives and kids.

Bat control , it's amazing , you should get some.

Must be the niceness in the midwest... lol

LOL. That makes it worth while.

 

[rlopezjr1977]

I can control a lot of my swings and know how to hit middle when I want to. Something a buzz over the tower is needed if they just keep blowing up my pitcher and not saying anything. That usually sends a message and the teams back off.

I pitch so i understand being pissed off but I know its bound to happen. It will always happen. I dont understand why these MEN cry like girls when they get hit. Its the nature of the beast.

I thought Texas had a good public education system. After reading this, I don't think that anymore.

Hell i even walked to first after I stood there and apologized. He didnt acknowledge it so I went ahead and got on 1. I usually sit down out of respect.

Guys are D-bags for not accepting the apology, only question I have is why did blue take the bat? Was it legal?

 

[scrub]

I'm not cowardly or heartless enough to try and hurt the pitcher. I'll talk **** behind their backs, on the internet, or out the car window as I'm driving away like a normal person.

 

[eolivares1976]

Hitting middle is part of the game. If middle is open I usually hit there. Never apologize, never do it maliciously. It's up to the team to decide if they want to shift towards the middle or use a 5 man, this would deter me from going there.
What I do hate is when you know someone is swinging a shaved stick and they shoot middle, our pitcher understands this as well, just doesn't sit well with me

They are all Dbags. Ignore them and play your game. Your pitcher will be able to defend himself with his glove. If you happen to go middle again, by accident or not, no more apologies are necessary. Now, if they get confrontational and/or personal on or off the field, that's a different story. Here in SoCal, this stuff is common.

 

[mcm21078]

yeah why did the ump take your bat?

An kicked their dogs.....you can never forget the dogs...

No you didn't.

If that were AZ, I probably would have had to pull out my gat in case Dodgers fan stepped to me.

Fixed it for you!

Well played, well played.
