Taking a walk in softball

[Radio_Bugtussle]

The prudent slow pitch pitcher keeps the ball inside on guys likely to do that. Let the 3B or 1B deal with the line drives.

Our pitcher wears one of those new catchers helmet/masks after a non ball related skull fracture a couple years ago.

I put soccer shin guards in my socks before I had the sense to stop pitching.

If you pay your money to play slow pitch softball you can play the game as you want. If you want to walk, thats fine. But placing the blame on the other team for your inability to pitch consistent strikes is just childish.

You are right. I was childish. sorry. If you want to take a pitch that is mm off the plate that is your right. But it is also my right to call you a pu$$y for milking a walk.

I had two rockets back at me, one I caught the other skiped of my fore-arm, nice bruise, but pain is only temp.

The whole point of this rant isn't that people should play one way or another. The point of this rant is why anyone would want to take a walk in the first place. The whole point of slow pitch softball is to take gigantic hacks at floater pitches. If it's close, I'm swinging.

Edit - I don't mean to speak for Wart when I talk about the point of the Rant. It's just the point that resonated with me.

That is what I was saying, if you want to milk a walk go ahead, but I am swinging for the fences every time, not taking a wimpy walk. I will even take a fake swing at a bad pitch to get another pitch and hope to get a ball to smash.

Strategerie. Nice.

I guess it's all a matter of what you consider "fun".

I actually enjoy running the bases, so a walk is OK by me.
