Exactly why i never back away after i pitch , as soon as the ball leaves my hand my glove protects my face. Ive caught at least 10 balls that should have taken my teeth out. To me it only adds to the fun, and i spend alot of the time with bone bruises on the shins and the sort but as long as i protect my face and wear my cup i dont care if they hit up the middle, keeps me on my toes.
you can tell its late, he's been in the cooler all day, and he wants to show how much of a badass he is...that is an "E" tourney somewhere, and he is too much of a girl to move up with the big boys....I would love for him to get that crap started against us...the fact is, when you are going to hit the middle by running at the pitch, your pitcher is dead...
@davidcalli 12 there's no unwritten rule about going up the middle except for in scrub leagues... good ball players hit middle and the ones who cry about it shouldn't be playing the game
the league i play in if the umpire notice's that the batters on either team are going back at the pitcher or the pitcher is hit by each team twice that team is givin an out and then a technical out meaning the guy behind the guy that hit the pitcher the second time is out, i know its bullshit
Lets see, A guy standing 40ft. away, lofts a 12inch ball to you, going like 5 mph and you have the ability to hit it right back at him? Very impressive. Your a joke. As is anyone who defends you. Unless you are getting paid to play and the pitcher is also, you are both just supposed to be having fun, right? Your not pros! Your softball players. This is what is wrong with the game now. This crap never happen 20 years ago. Composite/Juiced bats, punk egos, No respect for the other players.
re-seeding their pitcher takes care of that problem.
As a pitcher in 12 inch slow pitch you wanna chuck it and then take about 4-5 steps back and to the hitter's pull side..

He's out cold!
What a tough guy!
Those green bats get hot!!!
If I'm the pitcher of that team at-bat, I am making the hitter pitch the rest of the game after that shot.
That batter is out if I am behind the plate. He stepped out of the box when he made contact.
the pitcher fell before the ball even got hit!!

if you cant field your podition dont plsy.....i love hitting middle....yelling "OOPS!" when i do it
It one think if the guy pitching was under 50 maybe go for it hit middle. But good lord not sure in that game hitting middle made much sense.
Ouch!!!
It's all part of the game. Then again, how old was the pitcher? 74?
Pig grunt after he hits the ball WTF is that about?
Wasn't even hit that hard either haha. If pitch didn't fall down back pedaling he probably would've snagged that
