| Nov. 30, 2009 spoonplugger Men's 60 95 posts | Quit your whining Well mad I have pitched-I am an infielder-I pitch in batting practices for seniors,asa and nsa- I know lots of kids who hit alot harder than most seniors with asa bats . Next: you don't care about your own team just yourself-now if you did care you would let someone pitch and cover the middle who's not slower now and whose reflexes are as good as they used to be- why does your team need to put themselves in a position not to do as good just to satisfy your ego so you can be the pitcher- butch17 & e4/e6: I'm sorry either one of you two haven't played enough softball to ever say it yourself or hear someone else say " hitting that ball is like hitting a sock "- duh! |
| Nov. 30, 2009 butch17 Men's 55 412 posts | spoon, How can you compare hitting a ball to hitting a sock if you have never hit a sock yourself? Of course that would take common sense.You can only imagine it would be like hitting a sock. You are right my 15 or 20 games I play a year doesn't qualify me. I have also played in the outfield in batting practice but that doen't qualify me as an outfielder mr. pitcher. :) |
| Nov. 30, 2009 butch17 Men's 55 412 posts | spoon, By the way you don't need to start a new post everytime you answer. Thanks for your co-operation. |
| Nov. 30, 2009 lazer larry Men's 50 95 posts | butch17, 15-20 games per year. Now thats funny, i don't care what anybody says. I'll bet the last time you played 15-20 games per year your dad was coaching the team and you were in grade school. Snow coming wed. night for us. Baa Humbug, Give me sunshine and 90 degrees. Lazer Larry |
| Nov. 30, 2009 butch17 Men's 55 412 posts | Lazer Larry, Hell I played that many in T-Ball just thought I would add a little humor seems spoon doesnt have any. |
| Nov. 30, 2009 butch17 Men's 55 412 posts | Lazer, I think all he would need is join you guys in the parking lot for a little while. That will cheer him up. |
| Nov. 30, 2009 lazer larry Men's 50 95 posts | butch i knew where you were going with it. But i know the tee wasn't invented that far back. Lazer |
| Nov. 30, 2009 lazer larry Men's 50 95 posts | butch, i think that miken should start using the square grooves the the pga is getting rid of. Then when we hit the middle we can move the ball aroud the pitcher, thus he is never in danger. Just call me Lazerstein |
| Nov. 30, 2009 butch17 Men's 55 412 posts | Larry Lazerstein, You are right about the tee. Give us a reason to work on our trick shots. |
| Nov. 30, 2009 E4/E6 Men's 70 873 posts | Spoon, you are absolutely right. In my 40+ years of playing softball I have never heard anyone use that saying. You may not want to start a pissing match here Dude. From what I see so far you may be out classed. |
| Nov. 30, 2009 mad dog Men's 65 4191 posts | dang a BP pitcher,you must be good.what you don't get,is the equipment we use now in senior ball is a lot hotter than all the other assoc's. why should someone who has pitched all thier lives have to quit the game b/c we have these dangerous bat/ball combo's. oh another thing show me a senior who has the reflexes he had in his 30's or even his 40's.its called getting older. |
| Dec. 1, 2009 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | Instead of square grooves we could use Vaseline on the bats, no more spin, just knuckle balls!! As for the saying, we've used it here in Georgia for 30 years, going back to the SB12. |
| Dec. 1, 2009 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | Butch , Actually the Tee has a long history going back to US Patents in: February 1939 Hammont May 1949 Hendricks June 1958 Lerick January 1970 Morelli et al. June 1985 Matsuura September 1986 Vodin September 1986 Keys Foreign Patent Documents Feb., 1935 FR ., 1906 GB Feb., 1929 GB Jul., 1935 GB Some later ones in 2006 as well. |
| Dec. 1, 2009 lazer larry Men's 50 95 posts | taits, i think butch was around before that. He just looks like he's 35. Have another 60 degree day today, going to hit the links about 11am. Then there saying 1-2" of snow tomorrow, go figure. Here comes winter, come on spring. Lazer |
| Dec. 1, 2009 butch17 Men's 55 412 posts | Okay guys it was a beautiful day here also. Heres the update just got home from taking batting practice. I had my son pitch and I hit 100 socks and 100 52/275 balls and the 52/275 out performed the socks all 100 times and by a few hundred feet. fielded better just got to me a little quicker than the socks, and could throw it a lot farther. So in my experiment the 52/275 was the winner. Taits had to be the Hendricks or Hammont as it was in US about 1956. LOL |
| Dec. 1, 2009 butch17 Men's 55 412 posts | Forgot to add hit with ultra 2. |
| Dec. 1, 2009 einstein Men's 50 3112 posts | Humor's very important and let's give a little room to guys just starting to post on the board. I remember it was a bit harrowing and the first time I left out a important word in a sentence I was sure I was going to be laughed off the page. That actually did happen but much later but I'm still kickin'. Spoon, you're all right and it gets more comfortable the more you do it. Keep 'em coming. You too, Butch.(hee,hee) |
| Dec. 1, 2009 Bob50 Men's 60 242 posts | You guys are starting to get in the spirit of Christmas. A move in the right direction. |
| Dec. 1, 2009 Omar Khayyam 1357 posts | butch, I appreciate your scientific sampling, but I had an entirely different experience today. I hit a sock and it went 400 feet! The only way I escaped was jumping a fence and his foot was hurting too much to leap on it. Don't think I will ever try hitting a sock again—too dangerous. |
