As a good base runner I always look for players throwing to the wrong base and I will advance. I’m 41 but still have wheels. I find that players will make bad throws when a seeing a runner advance.
Oh and showing up makes big difference to me. You could be my best hitter but if you show up whenever you want and don’t tell me your batting 10 and playing catcher
Back to the actual question. When I started managing it was because nobody wanted to. I was the most consistent hitter and would take a walk anytime. I was lead off. Fast forward to current time when I actually have real ball players on the team. I bat 8-9 now. I keep my top hitters...
so I just realized I need negative talk when I’m batting. Guys saying I’m gonna strike out, fielders choice or pop up. Then I rock one.
When they are positive is when I get an out
I have a negative Nancy on my team. Points out everything wrong but when he has an error, pop up or strike out he blames it on something else. Then when I banter with him he gets mad lol.
baseball pants usually more durable if you slide. If you don’t slide then wear ass less chaps.
I used to wear pants and sliding shorts all the time and would slide a few times a game going for that extra base. I hit 40 and said **** this. No sliding anymore. Just shorts now.
