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...

I’m taking a team back to a league that charges $30 a team per game for ump fees. The league we left was BLD and they charged $5 a person (over 12) years old to enter the stadium. Obviously taking the fam week after week was getting expensive. I’m thinking of charging every player in...

Happy New Year SBF wanted some updated feedback on this topic. I recently changed to a full overlap grip. Feel has more whip but less control. During BP I’m getting the ball out a lot farther but noticed more pop ups as well. I’m working on separation to eliminate the hits off the...

Playing a 2 pitch tourney. I’m the only runner on base at 2B. Two outs and batter only has one pitch left. On release I take off running and almost at 3B by the time the batter hits and it’s a grounder to OF and I make it home. Teammate then tells me lucky the batter didn’t walk...

So I’m sick and tired of all the doom and gloom while surfing the internet. It’s all about vaxx and un vaxx and **** Biden and **** Trump. Stop the spread and blah blah blah. I go to this site to get away from it all. Also why I love the diamond, dirt and grass. So I think we...

Had a debate with a co worker about these two sports. I’ve never been a golfer and think it’s more of a game rather then a sport. But coworker was talking smack about slowpitch saying softball is for girls why don’t you play real baseball. mind you he’s a golfer and has never played...

Been trying to find reviews on this ball. I have a bunch of old beat up 44s and 52s but need some new BP balls. Website states they are safe but just don’t know how safe a composite ball on a composite bat will hold. Don’t mind banging my old BP bats on this but hesitant on newer bats.

What type of injuries have you had and remedies that have helped? I was a sub playing left field for a co ed team this Monday (my team had a bye) and pulled my calf muscle. Unbelievable!! I did my regular pre game routine as I always do, stretch and jog. a routine grounder got past 3B I...

I was playing 1B during league night. Guy hits grounder to short out runs the throw. I have the ball in my glove and watched him as he turned to the left back to the base. It was obvious he wasn’t trying to advance but I still tagged him. Blue said he wasn’t out because he wasn’t...

Anyone hear of a new league starting at the park? It’s city owned now and have heard rumors of a new league night.

What’s the word on these bats? A lot of league guys are using them. I’m an old school Easton DeMarini guy, but these are kinda intriguing. I swung a friends Bud Light U Trip model during BP and it was fire out the wrapper. Sounded like a log, but was NIW and balls were flying...

Our team has normally been solid beer league champions season after season. This season we got bumped up to uppers. All of sudden the sticks are trash. I need to shake up the batting order and thought maybe I can get some advice here. Here are the players with some notes this is not the...

How many managers here keep stats on the team? Batting only. I just started this season, co managers idea, but other then the hassle of tallying after everyone’s AB, it’s actually eye opening. Most guys think they are better then they are. Now when someone gets pissy about getting...

Chino opening next week 4/19. Looking for players for a Monday night team.

For those putting teams together what do you normally look for over the other. I understand you want a mix or both but what trumps the other? And what do you think Is easier to train at?

it’s slow and figured I’d make a thread on why we don’t miss the game. Even though we miss it so much right now. Here we go... Managing a league team 14 players confirmed, and only 8 respond to your text after game 2......

how does one build arm strength? Like CF throwing out a runner at home strong. Not asking for me, I’m old and my arm isn’t gonna get any better. But I want to get my kids to build a cannon. When I was younger and played hard ball I was good, hitting running fielding, but my arm was the...

Drunk thread here but been thinking about this. So there is a tourney coming up and asked my league team who wants to play. Only about 7 players were down. I couldn’t field a full team so said F it we aren’t playing the tourney. Mind you we are a rec team and this tourney is gonna have...
