You are missing a good game. Come on all you sport fans. Its 5 to 2. Republicans have the lead.

The strike zone is hilarious. The Democrats pitcher (Deluzio) has a little control issues.

Had a men's game last night... it is funner to play than watch.... while we still can. 

Of course the republicans win.

Although the best pitcher I know in politics (House of Reps) can still top out at 94mph at 44 years of age!  He played with my men's team a couple of seasons; a real pleasure to catch.

18, 25, 35, 45, 55, 65+.  Father son leagues as well.

Once you try baseball again, your men's league softball days are over.  My team is in a couple leagues and we play 1-4x weekly from April - September.  Most pitchers over 35 throw from 60-80mph.  75mph with two pitches and location spotting is competitive pitching.

That's impressive. I don't quite have the time to play that many nights a week but it sounds like a lot of fun.

We have 25 guys on the roster so that nobody goes to all the games.  This also makes for a fun chat group.  I have a few kids, attend all their events, and run practices from 2-4x a week in addition to coaching tournaments 3 out of 4 weeks.  Time flies.  The coach told me that I will figure out how to make time; he was correct.

You are a busy man. My kids are still too young to be self sufficient but I will get there some day.

what is wrong here?

Down a bunch of runs with two outs and two strikes, going for the fake bunt…

What is the wrestling equivalent?

In folkstyle. Letting you opponent up with 15 seconds left and then pushing him out of bounds. Maybe trying for a cradle while you are on your back getting pinned with 15 seconds left.

Nobody tries a bunt with two strikes, much less pulls back on a perfect pitch down the middle, especially when down a ton of runs, and definitely not with two outs.

It would be like directly running out of bounds three times in ten seconds...

Absurd!
