Is it just me or does it remind you guys of a fungo bat we used to use taking fielding practice.?

I could swear many years back there were some slow pitch softball bats (not wood, obviously) that had a similar shape.

Reminds me...

Back when I was in HS my Jr. year I had study hall and then a teachers assistant role for my last two...that lead into practice. It was a PE asst role so I was playing sports and getting credit.

Now, we were using baseball bats for softball games until Coach brought in a softball bat. I could line a drive with the baseball bat...but the fence came into reach with the softball bat. We were playing on the soccer field where the width was right at 70 yards. Add another 14-18 for the fence...it was a shot.

You are right...good call.

Growing up, when all the other little shits were in Hibbett's looking at the newest Nike shoes, I was over there on the other side of the store checking out the bats...

Say look at me w/o saying look at me lol. Oh and a Red Sox fan complaining about the Yankees .

That's his shtick (which is why it's funny [to me]). If it was the Red Sox that did it, he'd have a video talking about how great it is for baseball and it's going to lead Boston into the golden age of multiple WS titles.

Shit.

What so special is this bat the Yankees are using to hit all those HR?

 

[Crtuneman]

Acuna is hurt, again. He's the Tua of baseball. Braves invested a lot of money in him and it's going down the drain.

Sheesh, what now? We may win two games this year.

I hope you catch no fish this week.

I won't. I'm not going fishing this week. I've already planned on starting taxes Thursday with another starting on Friday (I hope.) Going through my mom's taxes with medical and the other ... It'll be a tread slowly I expect.

FWIW, the problems for the Braves this season can be found rooted at Auburn.

To me this is a little late, because he was caught with his hand already in the cookie jar.

Ohtani sends the Braves to 0-7 with a walk-off HR...

 

[BamaFan334]

Saw it coming in the 8th. Turned it off when they tied it. Dodgers tried giving the Braves the game and they still pulled out the W.

That's about the time I tuned in... I have to pull up Braves games "other ways" thanks to the stupid blackout rules. When they said it was his bobblehead day and he was due up in the 9th, I pretty much knew what was coming, unless they walked him.
