Anyone playing softball this year?

[Pimp C2]

I am, have my first game tonight. I haven't played in like 4 years so I know I'm gonna be rusty I've been hitting the batting cages though and will hopefully atleast be able to hit pretty well. I'm curious to see if I'm any better now that I lift. I've been lifting for 3 years and have added quite a bit of size and strength since I last played. Anyways, any of you guys playing?

I play year round here in at least 1 or 2 leagues, sometimes 3 and at least one tourney a month. IMO if you could hit before it isn't going to make that much difference if you are bigger. Its still mostly about bat speed and timing. I play and have played with lots of big dudes that can't hit the ball out of the park and lots of little guys that can.

League is starting up. I agree, it's all about timing and technique. With proper grip and timing it's actually not that hard to go yard if you have decent power. Sling the bat at the pitcher if he won't give you any decent pitches.

Softball is for pussy-assed bitch titted bastards.

My ass does not look like a pussy!!!!!! Well wait a minute......on second thought.

When do you start playing Macho Man.

I don't play but I love to see females play. It's very entertaining. Trust me, try it out.

Started this past Sunday. Threw one inning. One hit one hit batter and two strikeouts.

Went 2 for 3 with 3 RBI. I've almost equaled my RBI output from last season.

My training progam RULES!!!!!!!!

I agree it is mostly about technique. I was pretty much a little dude when I played last though and I think lifting has helped me to a degree, I just got back from the batting cages and I was really impressed with my hitting.

Softball is rough on the joints.. I play A/B competitive 12 inch.. For all you guys that think it is for pussies..............

Come throw an inning with the big bows, swinging Demarinis at medium/high compression balls...

You are lucky to keep your teeth for a few weeks..

Two strikeouts in one inning? Are you in a coed league?

How about throwing a baseball 80 mph at big guys with aluminum bats?

No comparison.. I have done both.

You get a guy who can hit a 12 inch heavy core ball with a double/triple wall bat and it isnt even close.


I played Baseball with guys that threw 90 plus....

You can also guide a softball EXACTLY where you want to hit it..

I am not talking beer league... I am talking big boy softball.
