workout routines?

I know.

Oh well, we started a petition to stop the Parks and Recreation people from stepping into this. We'll just all sign a waiver and decide to play with the real balls.

The yellow DeBeers balls seem to be stitched a little tighter than the regular white balls. Use those and watch the outfielders run!

I thought real men play baseball?

No adult leagues around here. Otherwise, I would.

Real men play injured.

I play ASA, so of course they're restricted, but not that bad. 44/375s will fly. best kept at room temperature or lower for optimal usage.

TMC, 724 check out Dudley Thunder Heats. They fly pretty good, even in the dead of summer, when they're about as squishy as a nerf ball.

TMC - sounds like you need to lift a bit more to clear those fences. What bat do you generally use?

no, real men, those who drink beer and curse, play slow pitch...

We have some whack old ass bat that the "coach" brought from home. We're not in any "real" leagues by any means. I've read that we need to get that Orange Crush bat and we'll start clearing the fences. Everyone's been telling us it's the bat.

Once you get a good ASA approved bat (DeMarini, Worth) you'll be like "WHOA, look what Zog do!"

BDBohnzie · 07-27-2006, 03:49 PM

that orange Crush bat will be pretty hard to get ahold of now...but I strongly suggest either a Worth M7 Mayhem98 or an Easton Synergy Flex. I am fortunate enough to swing a Miken Freak, which is one of the best bats ever made...

oh, and heaviest isn't always best. a lot of the bats, the lighter they are, the more pop they have.

TheMalcolmConnection · 07-27-2006, 03:49 PM

HAHAHAHAHA. Yeah, I had never played before last year so I don't know about what bat to get, etc. I just try to hit for batting average, so I've been reduced to hitting line drives to right fields.

TheMalcolmConnection · 07-27-2006, 03:50 PM

Damn, another team has that Synergy bat. We have a multi-millionaire who sponsors the team, he should get all Snyder on us and get it for us.

BDBohnzie · 07-27-2006, 03:52 PM

that bat has the sweetspot of a mack truck, and tons of pop. those line drives to right field will become ropes, and those shots 10 feet short will become HRs that definitely clear.

TheMalcolmConnection · 07-27-2006, 04:00 PM

Dammit. You have me pumped to talk to the guys about getting that. I play in this super redneck division where I play on a lumber yard team against teams like gas stations and stuff. I would say there are maybe 4 college degrees in the entire league.

Haha thats funny... Im a redneck car salesman with no degree (I always hated school... or anything else that imposed authority...)

But recently I found a fascination with the game of Tennis. I thought it was just a good Idea for my wife and I to go get some excersize for free and have some fun while the kids play around in the gated courts (which are usually empty around Martinsburg WV for some reason lol...) but I have really gotten into the game... its a lot of fun... I wish I would've played in high school instead of beating up all of the kids that did... j/k...

As far as the workouts go, I find that 12 oz curls are the most rewarding... they dont do much by way of chiseling, but man are they fun...

Good luck...

BDBohnzie · 07-27-2006, 04:04 PM

figure 10 man roster, everyone throws in 30 bucks, and if it breaks, you keep the receipt, send it back, and get a new one. more people, less it will cost each of you.

and don't get my started on softball...there's a reason I play 3-4 nights a week, and know all the gear catalogs forwards and back.
