Â This will be my 6th year doing this tournament. We've played on some of those 275 ft fields. I think I've only seen 1 HR hit, and I don't think I've ever even 1 hopped the wall on them. It's a tease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 We play Tues and Thurs the next couple of week to make up games that were rained out earlier. Â We're undefeated but 3 of the next 4 games are vs teams with 1 or 2 losses only. Which means we've played all the weak teams to be undefeated. Ha. Â We're still good so the playoffs should be fun.

Brian Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Trying to close out an undefeated regular season tonight. We're playing the 2nd place team who has some s*** talkers so ready to grip and rip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â We made it to the Final 4 for the second time, but this tournament was only 32 teams I think. Last time it was 64. We could have played the 3rd place game, but after 5 straight games, we were all dead tired. I pitched every game, had to have at least 30 strikeouts in those 5 games. One of the games I struck out about 12, 10 of them looking. My pitch moves about 3-4 feet in the air, it's disgusting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 Also, just advanced to the semi-finals tonight for our Thursday Men's league. Tournament included 14 teams I think. We came in as the 5th seed. I had to pitch both games today, pitched a shutout in the first game (nasty movement on my pitch), and then we won our second game like 8-7 I think on a walk-off.

Brian Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Our playoffs start next week, finally, after finishing 10-0. Â Got into with the team last night because a couple of our hitters were going up the middle and the pitcher had to defend himself. We weren't doing anything on purpose, but they thought we may have been so started hitting liners at our pitcher. Ump did a good job of settling things down.

Â I pitch and I consider myself pretty good. We play 6-12 foot arc but I generally throw in the 15-18 range since it's never called. And I can put curve on it and knuckle it. If I get 1 strikeout a game it's great. 6 K's per game is either against 12 year olds, legally blind individuals or not exactly truthful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Team USA is something else. I have watched a few of their games on ESPN, just crazy power. And their pitchers are just fearless.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 But for what it's worth, I did pitch a shutout with 3 K's last night in my Men's league which is a normal skill level for mens slow pitch softball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
