Subbed in a 30+ game Sunday and tripled off the LF line, two hopped the wall. So there!

Final season line:
.577/.633/.731 in 30 PA

Four BB, Two 2B, One 3B, 6 RBI, 3 Ks

1ER in last 4 relief appearances; didn't keep in-depth pitching stats.

Off to Vegas for NABA 50+ fall tournament Oct 24 - Oct 30. 5 games in 5 days plus playoffs. Far cry from playing 3 Sundays a month.

That's awesome!

I'd like to see a HR in those stats, Shohei, but other than that I like it.

Nice, does your team have a chance to take it down?

No idea, this is my first year playing with them. I think they did a few years ago but I am not certain.

solid work Kevin
god i wish i still had my 41 year old body instead of this 51 year old wreck
not sure if you remember, but i flirted with you 10+ years ago about playing in the PDX leagues, but unsurprisingly to me didn't follow through. got hooked on the golf stuff and was irrationally afraid that a baseball swing and a golf swing wouldn't mix.

from a decade old pm

Wow! Don’t remember that exchange. Crazy we did use aluminum in PABC when I first started.

You should come to Pier Park Saturday pick up some time. I’ll be there this week. BP. at 11 and game around noon. I show up closer to 11:45.

I just purchased a full 70' batting cage with a Jugs machine for my backyard, should be ready to go for the spring, and I got the Radar Pitching Trainer for the garage, it is a radar gun built into a pitch back, that calls balls and strikes.

No...I'm not trying to make one more run at the league, got it for my 6 and 8 year old because their dad's arm is shot and I cannot throw BP anymore. Should make for fun backyard parties though.

Would love to have a neighbor with this set up

Wow, that's awesome. God I'd love to have my own cage.

Played the NABA 50+ tournament in Las Vegas last week. 6 teams from all over the US. We finished 3rd. 2-3 in the round robin was good enough for the 3rd/4th game which we won, beating a South Dakota team that beat us in the round robin.

Give myself a A- on the mound. Very hard to judge without a real scorekeeper but our defense was so bad early the week that runs allowed were high (8 in 6IP in two games) but earned runs were probably low. Only walked 2 in those games, one was a straight pitch around. So command was good.

In the "playoff" game I came in with a 2 run lead, bases loaded 2 outs. Induced a pop up to me on near 1B line to escape that, then pitched 2 scoreless to close it out. We were up 4 by the last inning, so not a save? Who knows.

Did not have a good week offensively. A lot of pop ups and weak ground outs. Did have one great liner in a bases loaded situation that went right to the SS and one deep drive to CF that he went back on and got near the track. Managed maybe 4 hits and 2BB in 6 games, so yeah, not great.

Two errors at SS in 7 innings there and 0 errors in a bunch of innings in LF and CF.

Overall a great group to play with, decent not spectacular competition and a fun atmosphere. Best of all a week of playing ball every day beats working, would do it again in a heartbeat.

I am super sore now though.

thanks for the report KJS. my hammies twinged at least twice while reading it.

I was shocked our whole team played every game. One guy had a sore arm and sat out defensively for one game but that was it. I think the warm air really helped.

so i don't know about you, but every now and again i have a dream about playing baseball (and also golf, but that may not be your thing). it's not uncommon for me to wake myself up from the dream right as i'm making a swinging or throwing motion and recreating some aspect of it in the waking life...spouse has actually become used to it over the years.
several months ago my dream was making a backdoor throw from my knees to first base (behind a left handed batter) to pick off a baserunner with too big of a lead. problem is i was sleeping on my back with my right hand under the pillow and my arm couldn't go anywhere. pretty sure i strained my rotator cuff but there are lingering effects and i hope i didn't do more than that.
i guess one sign of being in your 50s is when you hurt yourself while sleeping.

Ouch!

Certainly dreamt about playing plenty but don’t remember ever acting it out physically.

Lol, +1!

it never ceased to amaze me how sore i'd be the day after playing 6 innings of beer league softball
