Disagree on the slowpitch part. As someone who once played for the Coquitlam Reds and ran out of baseball options otherwise I played Mens fastball for 20 + years after that.... still play a bit . I would say the level of play in fastball in the Senior B level is better than any mens hardball I see these days and a fuck of a lot better than the womens fastpitch game that has demanded so much attention these days Thank you Jenny Finch.rats19 wrote:baseball is a really difficult sport to excel at...the average joe can golf etc..maybe not be good at it but can do it.. unless you are a decent ballplayer you just dont play. all others play slowpitch..

ratman your buddy Rod Weisner who is a few years older than me played a season or two with and against me in fastball....ask him how rad the game is. 75- 83 mph from 46 feet gets there a lot quicker than 85- 95 mph from 60 feet.
Actually Blob, taking the mean of those and going 79 mph from 46 feet and 90 mph from 60 feet, the difference in time is actually only 0.05 seconds.Blob Mckenzie wrote:Disagree on the slowpitch part.

Actually Mëds that's quite a lot of time when hitting a ball.Mëds wrote:

Just saying.
Just bustin your chops ratman....as I said I have played both and love both. It's sad to see so many good athletes playing fag pitch when they have another alternative after baseball is done. I have converted at least 20 guys who played either Junior or Premier baseball in the lower mainland. It's hard to get the fag pitch guys to come around because they want to go 4 for 4 every night with three jacks.rats19 wrote:baseball is a really difficult sport to excel at...the average joe can golf etc..maybe not be good at it but can do it.. unless you are a decent ballplayer you just dont play. all others play slowpitch..
Yeah. Same numbers. 0.05 second difference in available reaction time. It's all relative though.Blob Mckenzie wrote:Actually Mëds that's quite a lot of time when hitting a ball.Mëds wrote:

Just sayin '.....
so Sex is a sport?I equate sports to something that requires a high level physical effort resulting in perspiration and some labored breathing.
Well apparently what they did see is Scrivens give up 2 short handed goals in 3 seconds.Uncle dans leg wrote:If this lockout goes on much longer I'm going to lose it!
Apparently, Canucks brass are/were/did scout the Toronto farm team when they played in Abby.

Hmm if that's the case there's a lady here at work that must consider walking up a half flight of stairs a sport!Tiger wrote:Mëds said:I equate sports to something that requires a high level physical effort resulting in perspiration and some labored breathing.
