Taking a walk in softball

I think it's fun to work the pitcher.

100% Agree. Normally I'm not a trash talker but I have had about 10 near fights when I told the opposing team what I thought about them not swinging. Especially since every team I have ever played on pretty much sucks and we were always playing 5 or six runs down.

I would have to go head hunting if I was pitching to you.

I have been nearly ejected from a muni league for yelling at a team that did this when they were up almost 10 runs. I support this rant 100%. IT'S SLOW PITCH SOFTBALL. SWING.

And I'd understand.

My team is always horrible, so we're looking to manufacture as many runs as we can.

I can understand why people hate that, though.

And getting hit with a slow pitch still stings....a little.

Well, maybe not so much, but there are definitely other ways to get "payback". An "errant" outfield throw, and elbow here or there, etc.

Like I said, I understand why it's annoying.

What really sucked was my team falling asleep in the field and then booting the ball when one of them actually swung the damn bat. I wanted to dick punch all of them!

This reminds me of the argument in video game baseball. There nobody wants you to throw balls. Sort of takes all the fun out of pitching. I always argue that I'll throw crap as long as you swing at it.

Unfortunately the head hunting that goes on in slow pitch is just the opposite of baseball. It's the pitcher that is in peril 40some feet away. I have seen many hitters (myself included when provoked by a pitcher whining about my not swinging the bat) look to hit the ball right at the pitcher and with the bat technology now they hit friggin rockets at them. I have seen broken jaws, eye orbital bones etc. The most dangerous position by far to play in slow pitch is pitcher.
