    Strategy: Where & Why?

    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.

    Strategy: Where & Why?

    Always throw one base ahead. Don’t give extra bases or runs trying for a low percentage out

    Describe One Of Your Best Defensive Plays

    Any grounder I can get. 41 now and my grounder skills are **** nowadays. I used to be a solid SS now I’m lucky to grab a hard grounder at 1B or 2B

    Getting moved around in the batting order? Discuss

    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

    Getting moved around in the batting order? Discuss

    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...

    Getting moved around in the batting order? Discuss

    Is your own team chatter helpful?

    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

    Is your own team chatter helpful?

    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/Softball Pants v. Sweatpants

    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.

    Beat ITPHR

    A single with errors you are all right. But it’s hilarious when you are on the offensive side. Not so much when on the D side

    Beat ITPHR

    Just played a work tourney. Mix bag of good players and newbies. Funnest part of the game is watching players that have know idea what’s going on. My best HR was this: Solid grounder to 5-6 gap. 6 dives and grabs it. I’m basically at 1st so he doesn’t throw. But man on 2nd runs...

    Music and Weed.....

    My team is that music blasting weed smoking and beer drinking team. If my kids are around I’ll tell them to change that stupid new rap music. Other then that it’s all good to go.

    Switching which side you bat from

    When I played baseball I was a switch hitter. Actually liked hitting left cuz I would hit oppo and easily outrun a grounder to 3B is SS. Lefty hitters are closer to 1B and are naturally directed that way after a swing. but when I got into slowpitch I just stayed with right side since I had...
