OT - I'm bored, Part Cinco!

Good luck to the Buccos too. You guys may hate the Braves but the hate is one way. Yeah Nats are a fairly good ball club this year, but both Easts are tallented, and honestly I think the best 4 teams in baseball are in the NL East (Braves and Phils) and AL East (Yanks and Sawx).

3 out of the 4 of them spend more than $160 million per year on salary.

I got my first at bats in my softball league. Three of them. Unfortunately, they don't count because our opponents forfeited due to lack of players and we just scrimmaged them, with my playing for them.

I was 2-3 with 3 RBIs and a run. I struck out once, which was kind of embarrassing, but it was mostly because my baseball instincts jumped in and took over when I didn't want them to. We all start our at bats with one strike, and I fouled the first pitch off (great hitter's pitch, can't believe I missed it), then I got a boarder line pitch, so I shortened up and took a defensive swing to intentionally foul it off. I succeeded. What I had forgotten is that foul balls in our league count as swings and misses, so I struck out.

But both of my hits came with runners on base, and the strikeout was bases empty, so I guess you could say I picked my spots. I'll tell you what, though, a softball feels a lot different coming off the bat.

don't mean to burst you bubble, but if you are in any way athletic, you should be hitting .600-.800 in softball*.
the only people who don't are the guys who try to hit homers every time and hit fly ball outs.

*slowpitch I am assuming, otherwise - disregard

dont wanna be all Walt Hriniak or anything (since I no longer do slo-pitch after a long illustrious career) but I find that a good way to keep the long looping/uppercut swing out of your game is to think line drives

more specifically think line drives AT fielders who are picking up gloves for the first time in their lives

and Im not saying ... do it to become a singles slappy type hitter ... do it to hurt these fielders ... trust me ... its fun

As a leftie, I like it when the opposing team tries to hide their weakest defensive player either at first base or in right field...Nothing like sending a frozen rope to test the defense.

I hate that slowpitch is still called softball. No...don't be confused. It's slowpitch baseball.

While I was growing up, there was baseball and softball. No slowpitch, slo-pitch, fast pitch, etc. Baseball used a smaller, harder ball and was thrown fast. Softball used a bigger, softer ball and pitched it slowly underhand. Boys played baseball and girls played softball.

Stop trying to re-write history, you revisionist you.
