Precisely...

He wasn't, trust me. He hasn't played in anything but rec leagues and assumes that if he is one of the better players on his D-League team that ipso facto he is a B-Level player...

Had a conversation with a guy at my local league night who claimed to be a "B-Level" player where I had to explain to him what Cor & Comp were as well as what the "new" U-trip stamp is... Oh really... you play B-level ball?...

When I wrestled in middle school and high school and went to open tournaments I used to wear a Hulkamania T-shirt with sleeves ripped off... It pissed off so many hardcore wrestling fans. Then I won the tournaments and they all shut up.

knob cuff will help a lot too

Hmmmm... are you using an overlap grip or are both of your hands on the grip? I just recently switched over to a full overlap grip for the same reason that you are dropping your pinky off... to get a better whipping motion on the bat. I haven't had any bruising on my palm though. Maybe you...

Despite the OP being a crybaby, I like this thread... please don't delete it. I want to learn more about these Whip Strips... anyone use them?

I may be way off base here but I think that hitting off of a tee constantly is messing with your timing and swing motion a little. IMO, a big part of learning a slowpitch softball swing is reading the ball and learning to time your motion/swing. There are other guys here who have stressed live...

That lump is scar tissue... you partially tore your quad My brother did this to his hamstring in track in high school. Still has the lump in his hamstring to this day.

If I gave you the impression that I have made any conclusions about the type of career Taveras will have, I'm sorry. That isn't what I was saying. I do think it is fair to say that he hasn't lived up to the hype of being "the next Albert Pujols"... Which I thought was ridiculous to say in the...

Man... the AL looks really really good all of a sudden. Homefield in the WS too...

Please don't ever lump me in with Gio

Players never have down years?

The only really good reason that I can think of unloading Craig is financials... They have potentially big contracts for Adams and Wacha on the horizon and they are also probably thinking about Taveras (which he has basically shown nothing...)

Creating space in the OF is a benefit but they gave Allen Craig away

They traded a player that they saw fit to sign to a 6-year extension last year (a player who's averaged over .300 the previous 3 seasons) and a young pitcher who has held his own in their competitive rotation for a 2-3 month rental... Jobbed.

So I know that this is late but... Wow... the Cards got totally jobbed in the Lackey trade. I'm effing pissed off

Yeah, I've been stiffed a couple of times on the GTG review and it pissed me off. Everything went smoothly, everyone got what they wanted, no review...

I have always played in a part of the country where there is a pretty lengthy off-season and I usually do find that by the time spring rolls around that I am getting excited for softball again. Maybe some time off would help you out. However, I think that the key question you have to ask...

Those FB raffles are dangerous and downright evil... When they first started popping up I saw one and thought, "$20 to win a $300 bat?! Sign me up!" One click and I'm in a raffle... What's that? I lost? No worries, I'll jump in another... and another... and another... It took me spending...
