They're good as long as they don't let Stratton pitch.

It is indeed for my stabbin cabin, and I make no apologies for it. I like to shoot sporting clays, but am new to it and not very good. Decent at trap, but those clays are trickier. I’m not a very big hunter but feel little remorse blasting birds, because they are descended from dinosaurs and I am anti-dinosaur. How I was raised.Love sporting clays. It's a blast. Love shooting birds too though.
I probably won’t get a new Citori. Will probably get a used “field” one so that it’s more useful regardless of circumstances.
Pffft, Mud Aggy.You son of a bitch
Holy crap I just snorted beer out my noseif you take inositol, l-theanine, and glycine you'll sleep a lot better. just a pro-tip from supplement dave sponsored by supplement world by supplement dave.
I haven't pooped since you recommended that magnesium supplement to me 2 months ago....
One of the numerous reasons I despise youth sports in its current formOld college/hs bats were hotter than any bat a hs or college player can use today. There were no certifications, and the technology was pretty advanced at that point. Hs and College players were also using drop 5s.thanks, very helpful. you also touched on a concern I had but didn’t express and that is what you’re calling the industrial complex for the steve dave’s of the world.
The first certification was BESR, which tamed the bats and required hs/college players to use drop 3 bats.
Several years later BBCOR became the certification, and deaded bats even more. So, now the bat companies do all they can to max out the bats within the BBCOR certification. So they come out with new bats all the time, and new technology, but it really doesn’t amount to much other than combinations of swing-weight, sweet-spot/forgiveness, and pop. Today’s bats can’t hold a candle to the bats of the late 90s and early 2000s.
It’s different for USSSA certification, which is what little kids use, especially competitive teams. They make those bats as hot as they can and turn youth baseball into an industrial complex for rich suburbanites. USSSA cert is generally for -10 to -5 bats.
Compare a drop 5 usssa to a drop 3 BBCOR and you will see the difference immediately.
There is also USA baseball certification for little league, etc. which significantly deadens the bat and minimizes forgiveness and sweetspot.
Edit: every so often a USSSA bat will be released that is deemed “too hot” and get removed from tournament use.
This is kind of wonky, but consider any court case, such as "Roe v. Wade." The "v." is short for versus. You're supposed to say out loud "Roe versus Wade," not "Roe v. Wade."My pet peeve on this is in regards to sporting events. Back in my day, "on" was used in place of the "v". Like 3 on 3, or 7 on 7. Really grates me when I hear "3 v 3".
We had an IH cyclo air planter at one point. Pretty cool technology for the time.
Yep. We had one and Schreds dad convinced grandpa Schreds to get one as well.

the royals plan to swing at every pitch thrown by the opposing pitcher regardless of where it is thrown is going to take me some time to get used to.Worked in 14 and 15
I won't regale you with tales of seeing Ski go off in person. but i was there and so was another poster that I know of.
I certainly dont take any pleasure in them falling from graceI take immense pleasure in them falling from grace.
I got cut in 4th grade from the baseball team. Quit football in 7th grade.
Wrestling was my salvation in 8th grade thru my senior year. Two great coaches who took an interest in helping me mature and grow up.
I wasn't the best 185-pounder and we had no heavy weight, so I "wrestled up" on 9th grade team as a heavy weight. My aerobics were second to none, so if you were one of the 225 lb tubs of goo taking me on, if you didn't pin me inside of a minute, your ass was mine.
Always took bottom, and worked the arm bar to roll those big boys over until they ran out of breath and succumbed to my reverse half nelson with all 180 lbs directed between their boy boobs into their sternum thru my chin.
Finished 2nd in every Fr, So (185), JV (185) wrestling tournament. Knee injury ended the senior campaign 3 matches into the season.
Rejoined the football team again as a sophomore and started my senior year as one of the most average lineman in the Centennial League.
I am available as a motivational speaker for any of your teams.

pretty sure I've said it before but it still boggles my mind that baseball is the first organized sport I played. It's boring, has confusing rules, and really difficult for little kids. Like the worst of everything for kids trying sports. I wonder how many kids got completely turned off of sports because they sucked at baseball when they were like 8 or 9 and that was their only option and they assumed they sucked at all sports. (granted that's changed but still)LOL at being introduced to sports at 8 or 9 anymore. By the time they are that age, baseball/softball kids have had 6 years of private instruction, outgrown $3000 worth of gear, had at least one Tommy John surgery, are practicing/playing 5 days a week year round and have played tournaments in 6 different states outside of their own. Soccer is almost as bad (no Tommy John though).
