That's how you tell how gay and REC league a team is. If you shoot up the middle with the intention of hurting a pitcher...you're a *** and there is no way in hell you would ever play with me.
Pitchers, when is it enough?

my dad and uncle pitch for us and if a team hits multiple balls at them and i know theyre good enough to stay out of the middle you can guarantee im sending one back up that way. Retaliation shots are low hard hit balls. Im not stupid. Im not gonna head hunt. Half the time when Im on other teams and they start hitting the gut I volunteer to pitch to stop it

seen enough guys get pissed, go up to bat and either pop up, or hit a squibber...which only pisses them off even more...

Our team hits alot of middle.. 5-10 shots a game atleast, sometimes way more. The thing is we dont ***** and cry when teams hit it back at us... Its part of the game. Hitting middle is a good tactic.
A. easy base hits
B. if the other team gets pissed, you get in their heads... you win
C. You have a good pitcher that can shut it down or play a 5 man infield they play into your hand... you win.
We dont do it to rec teams, just tourneys.

I for one would never pitch but I have nothing but respect for my pitchers and other guys that pitch. If guys start shooting middle on my pitcher he knows he does not even have to ask me as it will be returned to sender hard to send a message. Some guys that pitch for me don't care and some will get heated if it happens over and over again.

does this help, or just heat the situation up further? personally i "try" doing that and it's a pop-up for sure...but then again i'm no A player obviously...

Big difference between trying to hit by or through a pitcher...I hit middle more than 50% of the time and I have only hit two pitchers in 33 years and both were in the shins...not counting gloves...I have hit countless gloves

don't pitch, learn to hit

We are in a laid back league and I always at least give the pitcher a nod or something so he doesn't think its intentional. Some guys are hot heads and think every middle shot is intentional. We keep it breezy.

in case no one read his other post, he said he uses a shaved bat!

**** you
The other team decides it's enough when I snap all their asses off and they decide to hit elsewhere again
I can do it myself if I need to.

first thing is if its on purpose and ya hear it before ya pitch the ball, then make sure they know that if its purposely for those that know how to hit up the middle, then they better be protecting their coconut going to first....lol...
but seriously, if ya that worried about getting hit, then dont pitch, or get protection, or learn how to pitch and recognize who can hit, where certain guys like the ball or know that some guys are that good and can hit anything...and if ya think you are pitching great and can anyone out, youre dead wrong cause your grill is going to get messed up.... esp with the guys who think they can play, cant hit and drill the ball back at ya... .i pitch and wear catcher leg protection, nutty buddy and worth pitchers mask; i know the risks of playing, i dont care and just play the game with no bitchin.....again if ya dont like it go play bowling ya puss
