Well it looks like I'm going to be out until mid-June. Looks like we have enough guys though so it's probably not a big deal. I'm going to try and come to the games anyway though.

^^I wish I had one of those.
I have been trying a new batting technique. I saw somewhere that its best to stay loose and moving. It takes a lot of energy in a to get your body moving from stand still so if your are already in motion it is a lot easier to swing with a better reaction time. It seems to be working, I just rock back and forth.

You could try the Happy Gilmore swing. Sounds funny, but I'm serious. Start well back in the batters box and take two to three steps then hit. You have a 7 foot long batters box to play with.
I stand with both my feet together. When I start my swing it all starts with moving my left leg first; taking a big step. I leave the right foot planted though. Then rotate (turn on the ball) the torso. Finally use the arms, and extend fully.
What I see with you is no lower body effort in your swing. (Yes I am looking that hard at his ass) You are all arms.
Sunday I think I have to go to Calaway Park. If someone wants to go on every ride with my 4.5 year old, then I will come out to practice.

I might be in for some practice on Sunday. Depends on when, early afternoon is better like noon or so.

Totally woulda played but I'm having a blast out here in Nova Scotier. Some wicked golf courses and seafood out here. And girls. And beer. I'll be back on tues, so if you're short next week I'll play.

Can we do both? I'd really like to swing the bat a bit if we have time to do both.

I'm up for both. I can even bring a stroller that we can place in the short outfield so troutman has a target to practice his bloop singles on.
