Tournaments I never apologize. I'm there to win, not to make friends. Leagues I try to avoid middle all together. If it's not a very competitive team/league I'll apologize.

You mean if you was able to hit a ball hard enough to hurt someone?

I hate making pitchers bend over to field the 3 hoppers. Always feel bad.

I always apologize, especially if there's a middle war going on. Potentially take away someone's livelihood to chest puff during a rec sport. Yeah leave me out of that bull****.
Unless the pitcher is an *******, but not enough of an ******* I need to handle it in real life.

faced a team with probably guys all in their 60s. the pitcher was really slow and youd could tell they were bad. if its someone who you can tell isnt much of a softball player like that, esp. in league, ill avoid middle. we won easily anyways.

I always apologize
I only hit the middle when the other team starts it.
Had a pitcher who liked to charge the plate to try to distract the batter. He tried it with me once...once.
Big mouth pitchers know what is going to happen to them.
"A BRAG POINT" Once at a tourney, people spoke of a pitcher who bragged about no one hitting a ball past him.
He was 6'9" and thin. I knew he was thin, they wore pin strips and he had only one strip.
I went 3 for 3 all singles, one past his left foot, and the other two between his legs.
Once I hit the pitching rubber and the ball went 30ft in the air. His wife threatened me.

Basically this. I usually do it after the game instead of during too. As a pitcher I know how much I dont' want to hear it after anything like that. Especially if I don't catch it, which is usually the only time I hear it.

This is how I feel. No matter how big of a dbag the pitcher is, I'm not out trying to injure someone. It's just a game. I've got to live with myself when the game is over.
If they are trying to mow down my pitcher for whatever reason, I may send one back in his direction to spook some sense into them, but never aiming to actually hit someone.

I went middle on my mother..............Knocked the beer and cigarette out of her hand............Did I apologize? No..That ***** grounded me when I was nine for yelling "****!!!!" after flying out in a Little League game..............And middle is where the hits are.

Played in an outlaw tourney yesterday and hit middle 3 times. Apologized every time, but he would only throw low and outside. It was super hard to hit it anywhere else. I still felt bad though

I can understand apologizing if its a mis-hit, but if your purposely goin up the middle for a hit, then why do people apologize??? Thats where you meant to go.

This here. I'll go to the left or right no problem, and nothing is said. If you do hit one right at him a "Sorry pitch" isn't out of line, not because you're actually sorry but it implies you weren't actually trying to hit him.
Unless you actually are trying to hit him. Then you bat flip, point at him, and say, "Who's next".

I've never apologized for getting a hit but I will always check on the pitcher and usually say "Hey pitch are you good?" Is the pitcher going to apologize to me for getting me out, I've never heard it.

I've known this guy for about 8 years now and I've played with and against him and hit many BP sessions with him. I've hit balls near him and not once have I ever apologized for hitting a ball near him but I've always made sure JBO was ok.
i got blown up in the shins 3 times in a game pitching. Started taking shots then hit a shot past the pitchers face and yelled thats what you get to the other team and blue called me out. probably had 10 balls hit at me fielded 6. Felt like a **** after. Foot to the left and it was a face shot.
While I wouldn't say that in the first place, I'd be so pissed off if I got hit at all game and then I hit back and got called out by the ump. That is straight up bull.

Pretty cool story. A foot to the left and maybe you end his life, or maybe make him eat through a straw for a few months, maybe financially cripple his family. Oh yeah this is a serious fn game I forgot!!!
For OGP, I apologize if I get real close to him. Other than that, I don't say a word.
