| Posted | Discussion |
| July 10, 2013 Jetboy 62 posts | Infielders; do you wear a cup? I play third base and I always do. I feel it makes me a much braver fielder. As far as I know I'm the only one on my team that wears one. So many times I see infielders jumping to the side on a ball that is hit right at them in order to not catch it in the cajones. |
| July 10, 2013 Brusco 13 posts | I wear one regardless of whether I play infield or outfield. |
| July 10, 2013 Gunny2 47 posts | I always where one & there is a new cup out their call the Nutty Buddy & believe me it is a great one you don't feel it like the regular cup. Look it up some of you will be surprise. You know how guys like to do cup check maybe next time they will not try it, its hard. Mark Litrell ( not sure of his spelling name ) but he use to pitch for St.Louis & K.C. Royals. |

| July 11, 2013 Webbie25 Men's 70 2414 posts | I am always amazed that guys do play without a cup-no matter what position they play. I cannot count the times I have been hit in the cup by a batted or thrown ball. That exquisite pain is worth the risk?? Really??? I do have 2 stories about it, too. A friend that played short without a cup in the late 80's always gave me a hard time about playing outfield with one on. One time we were playing against each other. I was on first. A guy hit a grounder to him at short and it took a bad hop and hit him right in the "you'd better not touch'!!!. He had time before the pain set in to grab the ball and fire it to second where I was sliding in. The throw hit ME directly in the cup and bounced off. I got up and dusted off-he left the game in tremendous pain. Another team I was on stayed at a house together in Colorado Springs for a tourney. Our first baseman also game me a hard time about wearing the cup. I was in my sleeping bag and a few of the guys, including him, were going out for a drink. The first baseman made a comment wondering if I slept with the cup on-and I heard it. Not trusting him, I got up and put my cup on and went to sleep. When they came back-buzzed-he decided to find out if I really did wear it to bed and snapped me with the back of his hand-RIGHT ON THE CUP. It almost broke his hand. I never even woke up, but sure learned about it the next day. Some of the guys were laughing a week later about that one. |
| July 11, 2013 Bubble Gum 122 posts | I can't think of anything more ridiculous than watching some guy rolling around on the ground, in pain, holding his crotch because he thinks he's too good or too tough to wear a cup. It stops the game and wastes time. |
| July 11, 2013 Paco13 424 posts | Always. This is my advise especially to the flat bellies. We can give you a new heart, liver, kidneys...you mention it and we can get it for you...but as of now we can't give a new ding dong...we can inflate it for you but that is...LOL. PR NINJA OUT JESUS TE AMA!!! |

| July 11, 2013 JamesLG 420 posts | I can't stand them so have not wore one in years but will give the Nutty Buddy a try. I been kicked in those puppies before and it is not a lot of fun. XXXL, that must be about half a backetball! Thanks James |
| July 11, 2013 Clean Up 68 posts | Is the XXXL size made for the guy with a lot of wishful thinking or an elephant? |
| July 11, 2013 VINNY LV Men's 50 178 posts | just like wearing a batting helmet when playing SLO PITCH SOFTBALL !!!!!! HA HA HA HA |

| July 11, 2013 softball4b Men's 70 1248 posts | I don't wear a cup, it is a situation where you hope the pain goes away and the swelling stays. |
| July 11, 2013 softball4b Men's 70 1248 posts | Tim Allen - Dusters=Pro Team - Dan Smith caught more balls with his cup than he did with his glove...no pun intended. |
| July 12, 2013 Webbie25 Men's 70 2414 posts | Swing-I went to play league last night and first thing one of my teammates that was there when the sleeping bag cup incident happened came over laughing and said he remembered that-he watched him do it. |
| July 12, 2013 swing for the fences Men's 50 1224 posts | Good stuff Webbie, I have a friend that played Rugby with a cup.... his name is Nick SFPD Nick the cop was his name prior to them finding out he wore a cup for Rugby... of course the whole team named him "Nick the Cup" for the rest of his life!;-) |
| July 14, 2013 cal50 Men's 50 328 posts | I did buy one of the Nutty Buddy as noted in the post above. I played a dbl header today, most comfortable cup I have worn. Seriously if you have trouble with chafing, get one of these. |
| July 15, 2013 mad dog Men's 65 4191 posts | cal50..are they that compfy....my fat legs rub and would have prols with a regular cup,so never wore one,even when catching in hardball,i would just turn to the side a bit for my setup... |
| July 15, 2013 cal50 Men's 50 328 posts | mad dog, yes most comfortable one I have ever worn. I wore it for about 5 hours with no discomfort. |
| July 15, 2013 mad dog Men's 65 4191 posts | thanks cal might be a first for me at 63...... |
| July 15, 2013 BruceAZ Men's 70 155 posts | Sport Science tested the Nutty Buddy out in their lab. If you need a little humor this morning, check it out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yV831oPwG8M |
| July 15, 2013 SeniorMan 37 posts | This new style cup seems to be an innovative style to will keep you 'junk' comfortably in place and protected. Has anyone tried to use it with other compression shorts or were you just using it with the Nutty Buddy shorts? |
