Taking a walk in softball

[wart57]

Swing the freaking bat!!!!! What, you paid all your money to come out and not swing at a pitch 2 mm off the freaking mat? I can understand not swinging at a really bad pitch, but actually trying to milk a walk in slow pitch softball? You are a stupid f#@$*^g pu$$@# beeotch.

I've seen entire teams that has that mindset. I've seen a few guys that won't even take the bat of their shoulder until you throw them a strike.

That happened last night, it sucks man. I walked in about 6 or 8 guys who all did the same thing. But I found out why in game 2, when I started dropping them in there on every pitch, they popped everything up. But man, it drives me crazy!!!!!

I was going to point out what you kinda just did there, wart- teams that usually do that only do it because they're teeeerrrrible at softball. Even doing that crap, they still usually get a butt-whoopin'.

I want a good pitch to hit.

However, I will swing at stuff a bit off the plate if I can get a good swing and get the sweet spot on the ball. I particularly like letter high stuff a couple inches off the outside corner. I'll walk right into that and A) low bridge the base umpire with a line drive. B) Hit it up the gap in right center or; C) Hit it on the street and drink free beer after the game.

I was dropping some great pitches to hit, just barely missing the mat, I mean BARELY. If I would have seen thos pitches I would have been crushing them, but they just looked at them. Lost the first game 10-8, as I said I walked about 10 guys in the first two innings until I finally got in the groove.

I git the same pitch the other team wa taking and trippled off the fence, and then scored when the ball rolled in the dugout. As I scored I said that is what happens when you swing at theat pitch. I was a bit of an ass last night, but they pissed me off!

I also catch. I talk to hitters and remind them that that pitch just off the plate might be the fattest, most hittable thing they'll see all night.

Those who lack a little discipline occasionally start swinging at stuff they shouldn't.

I'm also firmly convinced that most hitters in slow pitch get themselves out by swinging at stuff they can't hit well.

The guys who really annoy me are the ones who drop the bat and concede a pitch. I called a strike on the last guy who did that when I was umpiring. The pitch fell smack in the middle of the other batters box. Served him right.

It's all about the OBP.
