| Jan. 16, 2014 Olden Slow | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Ca players etc etc I live in Prescott,Az and we have had our share last year..I have no grass to water and most of this area is landscaped with rocks, boulders etc...Water conservation is still an issue but I control mine carefully. Lets pray the fires in Cali ( I am a native) get put out with minimal destruction and no lives lost.. |
| Jan. 7, 2014 Olden Slow | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: where are all the pitchers Here in Prescott..Almost all the pitchers are moving down at least 1 division..Why ???? Word has it that they are tired of being drilled. The division they are going down to don't hit the ball as hard..Some of the guys suggested changing balls or bats but most of the guys threw a fit...But the guys that threw the fit...don't pitch or don't play in the infield. We now have 2 pitchers in a 40-50 man league...Should be an interesting season..I don't pitch but I'm also not a big hitter. We had a guy that got the ball drilled back at him while pitching..he made the plays but after a few innings he just tossed the ball to an infielder and went to the outfield while saying.." That's it, I'm not pitching again " |

| Oct. 26, 2013 Olden Slow | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Suspensions ?.. Speaking for myself....I always wear a mouthpiece and cup in the inf or of..If I play 3rd or SS, I add a chest protector, wrist guard and mask. I also wear compression sliders at all times..I'm 65 and none of that stuff weighs enough to slow me down. Most guys on the 2 teams I play for...Pretty much do the same to some degree.Just my .02 |
