a question about softball.

[pointless]

why is the catcher always kinda tubby? i find that kinda weird. also, somewhat counter intuitive. seriously, why you making fatty play the position that is notoriously bad on the knees? kind of a dick move, softball.

Softball is the only sport I can think of that suddenly switches which gender plays it when the players reach 22 or so.

 

[CHNOPS]

Also: you are welcome for me not asking if you're mad for them putting you catcher again. It was the funnier option, and I went for "curious" instead.

I am a very good person, I really am.

eh. i'm fat. i've accepted it. i wouldn't have cared.

also, i always wanted to be a catcher. sadly, i was always too scared about getting hit by an errant ball or poorly swung bat. also, i sucked at baseball and what not. that's life.

I have no idea what you look like. I picture you as Jonah Hill, though, so I guess that meant I thought you were chubby. He's skinny now, though.

Transmutation.

I played in rec leagues through my 20s, and one day I took a line drive THWACK!! directly against my kneecap. Amazingly, it seemed fine. I finished the game and soaked it in ice, and it never once bothered me. A friend said, "that's the knee that's going to go out in your 40s, ha ha ha."

Funny joke, right?

Guess.

you're friend is a witch?

Because in beer league softball the catcher does not kneel behind the batter. He stands by the ump and catches the ball on the bounce. He is fat because it it the easiest position.

I play short in a mens a league and have mad warning track power

Girls on the school softball team were usually fat. Soccer and field hockey players were fairly masculine but at least they were in shape. Girls basketball players totally looked like dudes.

Girl's volleyball on the other hand, um, now that was worth watching.

Doctor: "Pete your knees are all fucked up. You cannot keep playing hockey like you did when you were a kid."

Pete: "What should I play instead?"

Doctor: "Softball."



I would rather chop my junk off.

at least they didn't say golf.

 

[VaticanAssassin]

I can hit a homer every now and then....but it is normally after our team has hit 4.......the 5th homer in our league is a out

If you are on a team with people you enjoy and like to go grab beers after...then it is good times regardless.

Not yet.

Knee replacements will only become more common as time goes on. It is a risk I am willing to take.

Me and my friends used to stop by and watch the girl's volleyball games after cross country practice when we could. That and girls' gymnastics in the Spring. Johanna on the gymnastics team, wow. I guess she was supposedly a pretty good gymnast too. Was too busy watching her to notice that, lol.

I try to use my powers only for good, but I do occasionally give into temptation.

Can you make my knees stop crackling?

 

[pointless]

smoke a j and pop some tramodol and then you won't care about the cracking.

 

[pointless]

also, now i want some hot cracklin's. mmmmmm. pig skin.

 

[fluffPE]

Is this one of those pointless threads?

 

[pointless]

[Bert Notorius]

I'm more of a pitcher than a catcher.
