beer league softball

[puniraptor]

I don't take it seriously normally but one time I was catcher and this dick kept throwing the bat back at me and the ump wouldnt do crap about it and I almost fought the dick just like a badger or pitbull.

A-league is too serious, like guys that live for there softball game

i've played on some A league teams before. any goEMAW team wouldn't want any part of A league.

here's the deal for me with taking things like softball seriously vs not taking them seriously. there has to be some kind of happy medium. taking them too serious is ridiculous but you at least have to try or else what's the point. basically if there is a team vs another team and someone is getting paid (ref, score keeper) then you're obligated to kind of try. if not then you aren't.

If you wear baseball pants, you're probably taking it too seriously. Batting gloves, maybe.

If you cuss out an ump over a call, you're taking it too seriously.

If you are genuinely angry at a teammate's performance, you're taking it too seriously.

If you do a quick tag on a guy even though he is obviously safe because that's what you were taught in little league, you're taking it too seriously.

Hustling out an infield single or diving for the occasional grounder, you're OK.

I don't know about that one.  I could start off totally not giving a eff and then get pretty pissed, pretty quick at someone for being some half-assed fuckface out there.  I mean what are we out here for?

Well, it appears you are here to kick ass, take names, and slide into second.

[The Tonya Harding of Twitter Users Creep]

Oh, crap, how did we leave off sliding? If you slide into any base you're trying way too hard.

[yoga-like_abana]

agreed rick and it wouldnt be any fun..
also thoughts on nut cups? I have to play short on my current team and I'm a little scared.

Got a few A league titles out here.  No biggie though.

It's probably just because I'm picturing someone I don't like anyway as being the person performing poorly.

i wear a single batting glove because i don't want the bat to slip out of my hands and hit someone.  i wear it with basketball shorts, random 10k race t-shirt, football cleats, and no hat.

if you combined tball, baseball and softball i have probably played somewhere between 500 and a 1,000 games and have never worn and batting glove and have never had a bat fly out of my hand.

If you would have fought him like you were a pitbull, how would you have done that? I would like to know what strategy you, as a pitbull, would employ if you were fighting a human with a bat.

its hard to get mad at opponents in something like softball.  basketball or dodgeball whew watch out

I wore gloves in batting practice.  Never in games.

happened to me twice in less than 10 games.  that's an embarrassing rate.  it needed to be addressed.  congrats on taking your swing so seriously, though, bro.

batting gloves are fine, imo.

[Dugout DickStone]

I wear one on my left hand.  It looks cooler and when I steal I hold it so I don't jam my thumb on a head first slide.

I usually buy one for every base i steal. Pin em up on my wall.

Same

same. we would have to make sure that we were in a league against bad teams though. playing against people worse than you is fun but playing people that are better is not.

I have a baseball glove

don't wear them. bat feels weird. whatever floats your boat.

[Mr Bread]

Haha.  RD has big strong man hands.  I bet they're all sausagey and hairy-knuckled.  Way to be proud of them.  It's not 1920.  They're rough ridin' useless for important modern day things like typing.  I bet you're all "oh, man I meant to type something other than my big old fingers typed."   

[chum1]

i'll count the number of gloves i see next week.  i know a large majority wore them.  with shorts.  over 95% wore cleats.  no one is giving feedback on the seriousness of cleat wearers.

[Dugout DickStone]

It helps be drive the ball opposite field.  Also, some gross sweaters on the team who may get their gross sweat on the bat handle.  We share bats.

cleats are more of a safety thing, so i don't fall on my ass.

and you can unlace them a bit and wear them to a bar after the game to score babes.

I would fight him like an angry young professional AGAINST a badger or pitbull. The strategy I would employ follows the precedent set by King Kong V. T-Rex.  Also I would use the same strategy if I were a badger fighting a guy with a bat. I'm now sure what I would do if I were a pitbull fighting a guy with a bat as they haven't hands or powerful claws.

chum- honest question... are you putting both hands on the bat when you swing it? bats really shouldn't fly like that if you're using both hands.
