The Bleachers

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Went to monsta headquarters today. Phenomenal experience. They make the hottest bats in the game. Got to see the whole process and talked to the founder/owner for a couple hours. Even walked out with a bat that hasn't been released yet, and custom version at that

How much do the bats generally cost?
 
250-400 depending on how you get them.

It's almost always preorder. By the time they're available they're sold out, then you have to go through a dealer who ups price

Holy crap. Guess they must be pretty good.

You'll get an extra 5mph or 20/25 feet air travel over an average bat.

That may not seem like much but that's the difference of warning track vs out on a mis-hit, or making a dude bobble a grounder or getting through 5/6 hole, or splitting a gap vs a great catch by an outfielder

I'm hitting around .800 since I switched to it and hitting 350 feet with ease

You'd be batting 1.000 if you hit on the same caliber of women as @Lee.
 
Are you sure they are women though....

Yes -- Lee isn't dumb. He figures it's better to be batting 1.000 with 6's than batting .100 with 9's or 10's, and he's not wrong. Lots of dudes go home at night to Rosie and her sisters because they kept trying to get women who are out of their league. @Lee is a man who knows his limitations, and only swings at the pitches he thinks he can hit. As a result, he doesn't get left with the dregs. It's a smart play.

Now @David. is in a different league, and can go after some All-Stars with some success. I'm just noting that if he's batting .800 with them, he'd be batting 1.000 if he went after @Lee 's targets.

That is what we were talking about, right?

I've basically been celibate since the last big one to be fair. Been a year and it still fucks me up from time to time.

People think I'm with my friend girl, it prevents me from having a lot of sex but it also prevents me from all the failed relationships. Lol.
 
Getting back into tournaments..

Combined 14/15 in my last 2 with 5 hr (was only allowed to hit hr in 12 of those at bats.. 42% success rate is nuts)


I kinda need to figure out where to play. lower level has hr restrictions - one per game . Next level up you get 3, level up is 5. It is just not fun not being able to swing away. But I am nowhere near a C chip glove. I really don't like playing men's, and if I'm playing coed I pretty much have to play ss or third, which I just don't think I can cover consistently at that high a level.

Finished the year with 21 hrs in 47 ab and hit .830 in tournament play. Proud of that.

Never want to play again because can only go down from there and I'm mostly serious

So you are in an unlimited homerun league?

Typically from way in the past, my friends that played in slow pitch tournaments, had limits to homeruns per a person, team, ect. Not sure if you played on a travelling team or not, but sounds like you are good enough for that, just cant hit a homerun every time or even every other time like you did.
