8th Annual Swinging Bunt

[Titan13]

There will be a 20 mph wind and it will rain Saturday night. Sundays will be in the 40's with a constant mist. It will be foggy and dismal.

You shut yer big Sconny mouth! Please still bring the beer though...

 

[BigMatt]

Is the wind blowing out on each field at least?

No. Just one of them. Thus will lead to a game with a 33-30 score in just 3 innings. One team will hit 7 in a row out, 5 of which ahould have been 275ft fly balls.

Thanks fellas.

It may be snowing at the bunt...the winter that never ends.

 

[SouthSTLOF]

It was 45 during my tournament on Saturday until the 5th inning of our last game where the sun finally came out. 70 on Sunday and perfect, now it's cold and rainy again. I hate winter.

With no games on Friday, is anyone interested in getting together for some BP on Friday afternoon? Let's get a list going and figure out what fields we can hit at.

I would be interested in BP Friday, probably going to be down there in the afternoon. This is my second year playing this so I don't know of any other fields in the area.

 

[Sixes]

I think they are going to try and do a HR derby Friday night as well

 

[SouthSTLOF]

I'd be interested in the derby, just need to know for sure. Already got off that Friday.

 

[Derek01]

There are a lot of open fields to hit at just down the road from the complex we play at.

 

[IMAC1020]

I'd like to do the homerun derby but they don't let you hit each ball twice.

I'm so down for this

 

[SouthSTLOF]

I'm basically going to be following Tripp, so same.

 

[Sixes]

24 days ya chuckleheads.

 

[22justin82]

Sounds like they are already taking reserves!

 

[Kurs76]

Getting close.

 

[Sixes]

Yeah, I know one of the MN guys had to drop out due to work.

 

[IMAC1020]

Which guy........

 

[Sixes]

Bryan Wiltfang.

He plays shortstop for SDS

 

[22justin82]

never good to drop SS for these type of events

 

[Mikaka]

Bryan Wiltfang.

He plays shortstop for SDS

No Bryan? He was supposed to be my little spoon. Dammit.

 

[Sixes]

Yeah....it sucks. He's fun to party with.

 

[Mikaka]

Yeah....it sucks. He's fun to party with.

I guess you'll do instead...

Is this for sure? It would be nice to get some swings in and donate my money to charity.

HR Derby 52 300 balls...about as exciting as watching...a HR Derby with 52 300 balls

It'll have the coaches scrambling to make trades after they see the 10 power hitters do.

I got a dozen Apex Bullet Derby balls and a few Ultimate Evils. I am sure others have some siting around that they can bring out and make the derby a little more exciting. We would just need a lot of people shagging balls to get them back in to use.

Pretty sure we're using different balls (44/400) for the HR Derby. That's the plan right now anyway.

What is the bat rule with the home run derby?
