| Nov. 13, 2010 olie04 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Bouncy softballs... I have read just about every post on this site over the past year. In doing so I have noticed about 6 people who voice there opinion consistently and with great passion. This makes for a great debate and sometimes even viable issues are covered. One person however seems to post only with the intent to antagonise,demean, and whine like a child. This person is an anonymous poster who from his/her posts would appear to be a wanabe athlete. I am only basing this upon the responses this person writes. They all seem to be self serving comments with negative connotations. Try writing something that is positive bud/gal, you will be received (at least your post will),with a much more intelligent format and understanding. Just a thought from a person who puts a face behind a post. |

| Oct. 5, 2010 olie04 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: shawnee,kansas The muscle the Physical therapist was referring to is the Illiopsoas. This muscle works in conjunction with the hip flexors and extendors. There are very specific stretches to target this area. Go to any web site that talkes about hip stretches and you will find a number of these. Pick ones that are simple. Remember stretching this muscle is not going to do any good unless you are consistent with your efforts. The problems you are experiencing may take several weeks before you notice a distinct improvement. Good luck. Ollie (Fangrabbers #48) |
| June 15, 2010 olie04 | Topic: Bats Discussion: best weight training to improve hitting madsenior, the question you are asking does not have one answer that would apply to everyone. There are to many variables regarding the human body and how we are genetically built to have an answer that would apply across the board. I will give you the short answer that will help you to make what choices may be best for you. First of all there are basically three body types, Ectomorphs, Meosomorphs, and Endomorphs. You need to understand which type you are, and then understand what your limitations are within each one. We are born with a certain amount of "Fast twitch" muscle fibers as well as "slow twitch" fibers. Fast twitch are designed for explosive movements, slow twitch are for endurance or repetative firing over a longer duration. At the age of 25, males begin to decline in the amount of testosterone that they produce. This process starts the natural decline in the quality and quantity of muscle that a person naturally has based on their body type. This also obviously effects our strength capabilities. You can't increase the amount of fast twitch muscle fibers you are born with, but by working out with resistence training and cardio/endurance training you can stave off the inevitable decline. About 70 percent of males over the age of 45 are suffering from a medical condition called "Testicular hypofunction" aka, low testosterone levels. This has a dramatic effect on our endurance ,strength and vitality. I suggest you get you free testosterone level checked by you doctor to determine if you are in the high risk percentile. Any exercise that strengthens the torso, core, thighs and hips all add to a better and stronger swing. If you were never a home run or power hitter as a young man, you are not going to be one just because you now start working out. But if you are looking to improve what you are already capible of then implement a sensible resistance/cardio training routine(work each muscle group once a week), healthy eating, good rest and you will reap the benifits of a much better game. Good luck and be consistent. |
| May 19, 2010 olie04 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Congratulations, Steve Imlay... I had never met Steve Imlay until this past weekend. He was in Las Vegas participating in a homerun contest that I had entered as well. From the start, you could see Steve was a kind and graciuos man. He wore a big smile and had words of encouagement for all participants. Even though this day was not going to be his best, he still took his swings and unltimately took 2nd place. He gave words of praise to the ultimate winner along with a firm handshake. An everlasting impression was made on a young 51 year old that day. Thanks for the positive memory Steve. #48 Fangrabbers- Ollie/Sancho |
| May 19, 2010 olie04 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Vegas this weekend Just a few words about Vegas this past weekend. I am still amazed at the quality of teams in the Major division. This is surpassed only by the true gentlemen of the game at this level. Where did all the whinning, machismo, chest thumping and umpire bashing go that was, and is so prevalent in young mans softball. It is a breath of fresh air in senior ball knowing that part of the game is long gone. Congratulations to all teams that participated and thank you to softball4b, einstein, and FOFO for the kind words. #48 Ollie (aka Sancho), Fangrabbers. |
| May 7, 2010 olie04 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Huntsman games experts couple questions Lecak, This is Ollie from Fangrabbers. I play with a local AAA team that goes to the Huntsman games. We placed 2nd last year. We have added a few players (Burbank plays), as well as a couple of Major players from two Colorado teams. Great bunch of guys. Jamie Mccaffry might play as well this year. Let me know if you are interested and I will let the Manager know. See you in Vegas the 15-16th. |
