Do I have to be released from my current roster?
Yeah that's a couple big pieces to lose. We had to roll 4 man against you because we basically had 3 outfielders and they were all exhausted. It worked out ok for us though. Only bringing 9 guys to the plate in the last 3 innings makes it tough to come from behind though. You just went all Mariano Rivera on it and locked the game down.
If you're not on a frozen one, I think you're golden.Do I have to be released from my current roster?
Yeah he can get some pretty good curve on the ball. He's been trying to figure out how to throw a knuckleball this year but it's terrible and he keeps getting rocked on it. I tried to teach him how to throw mine but he can't get it down. If I could curve it in and out like he can I'd barely throw my knuckle. But a knuckle is all I got lolYeah we were surprised to see a 4 man and only a couple of us were able to change our swings to hit those infield holes versus OF gaps. Will beat up that middle hole every time. LOL!
My cutter was nasty. haha Chuck has a little two seam action that had a little bite.

That makes sense. Chuck does a lot of bowling too maybe that's why he can get it to move. I can get a little movement in towards righties on occasion but it's not consistent and when it doesn't move in it becomes a HR derby pitch lolI can give him a lesson, as well. Haha! What I noticed is my brother throws a good spinner but his knuckle ball sucks. He's a huge bowler and can get revs on that ball. When I bowl... I get no revs. My wrist just stays stiff and so I've had to work on snapping it and trying to do more than just a knuckle or slow rotating tumbler. It seems that a lot of guys can either do one or the other much better because the hand/wrist action is so different.
It was always fun to ump Chuck in league games with guys that didn't know him. He'd throw that curve the first couple times and they'd give up on it. Or argue with me when I called it a strike when he clipped the front edge and landed way outside.
Holla atchya boi out a Kaposia Days. I think we are called Deals with Wheels. I'm open to fist bumps, high-fives, handshakes, hugs (bro or regular) or "Hey, what's up. So, this is you in real life huh? I prefer you online."
I'm out.... no butt slaps.
Speaking of umpiring, last night I subbed with my brothers team in a USSSA league. I locked down catcher and was talking to the ump between pitches and batters and what not. Nice guy but of course these league heroes were complaining. Now, did I agree with his strike zone always, no, but was he consistent? Yes. He let the 8-9' arc go but man did he give ZERO corners. A guy from the other team turns to him and complains about some call and he turns to me and says, "Man, I get tired of all these guys riding me but yeah where it lands matters." I wanted to disagree, as a pitcher wanting all of my calls, but said, "It's underhand, right?" I'm such a hypocrite.

The trend continues (other than the close or late lead part).If I was choosing teams, I’d pick whoever the Horseman play, their first game. Our two tournaments we lost to EAI, in StJoe and Thompson, in Albertville. Both teams won the tournament. Coincidence?
We were close or had a lead, late, in each of those games
How were the new lights? I was hoping to play late enough to see how they were.I hadn’t played spudfest for probably 8 years. It was a good time and I’ll definitely play again. They did a good job of dragging the fields almost every game until it got to the losers bracket final and the championship game. Then the field was really choppy. We got $800 for taking 2nd place in a 7 team tournament. Thought that was pretty good.
