I think so. I'll find it for you if you give us an update on your baseball career.

Wait, do you have to be in shape?

went 2-for-4 and should still be leading, batting around .620 if I had to guess. threw 1.1 innings and got shelled. threw like 85% strikes, got three quick outs in the first inning I came in then gave up 2 doubles and 3 singles with 1 error in there after, with only one out (1-3 putout) mixed in. no idea why. i've never throw that many strikes with 3 pitches and got hit. lot of balls just found holes, only one ball hit hard (that went for an F8).

Coming down to the last two games for me, last three for the people chasing me (I missed a few games):

My pitching stats are thoroughly unimpressive. Believe it or not this is definitely an above-average ERA for the league.

Some dickhead who could throw fastballs consistently on the outer half of the plate.

Two things that have never happened to me happened today: got HBP in the head and hit into a triple play.

HBP was a pretty slow curve that didn't. Ducked and it got me on the helmet. Was a bit dazed for a few seconds. Not a huge deal.

Come up with no one out in top of the last inning we are down like 6 but they have their closer in. Men on 1st and 2nd. I smoke a liner and pitcher fields it a few inches off the ground. Guy on 2nd tries to get back but can't. Guy on first thinks it bounced and he is dead easily. Game over.

Went 3-for-4 tonight. The race is nearly coming to an end - one more game for me, two for the guys chasing me.

I mean it would take you going 0/4 and that first guy going 7/8 unless my math is wrong. Gogogo

Paging Kyleb: is there more to becoming a fly ball pitcher than throwing more up in the zone?

Really coming around to your comment that being a ground ball pitcher in amateur leagues is death. Our IF is averaging like 5+ errors per game I swear. Outfield is solid. I do worry about missing low and being around the belt. As I pitch now if I miss they low I can still get some ground outs.

I throw two-seams, cutters, and changeups and I give up more fly ball contact than all other pitchers on my team. I have no idea what actually works, and even if it did it wouldn't matter command-wise. I have no ability to command pitches to parts of the zone. My walk rate of 4 bb/9 is historically low for me. I just throw everything down the middle.

My command is pretty good. Better than my stuff anymore. Can hit the outside really well and keep the ball low. So I get a lot of ground balls. But so many get booted it has me thinking about switching my approach. Or move teams.

Went 3-for-4 tonight with a 2 RBI double. Was batting .667 going into the game, that should about seal it up. Threw a decent inning as well.

Basically I started hitting .550 after a bunch of games and then I didn't want to change my swing or look at video because I was hitting too good. My swing is too flat. Towards the end of the season I started elevating it more though. Something for next year

You should hit down on the ball more which will create backspin which will make the ball go up

also all my dumbass teammates hit like .280 with their $400 bats and i got my $40 RIP-IT stolen out of my car, so i borrowed a teammate's 2014 easton s4 and hit 2 doubles with it in a game. i asked how much that was and he said he got it for $50 on baseball-express, so i bought that bat and proceeded to hit .675 with a bat i had never swung before that game.

**** don't matter. also went 4-for-4 with some ****ty bamboo bat in a wood-only game when i forgot my sweet c243 blem bat (ian kinsler reject bat, got 5 of them from a hookup).
