rob Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Every time you post pics of your kid batting, the catcher always has his eyes closed. ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olyclimber Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Ulee's bat makes a pretty good pop noise, maybe its a reaction to that. in those photos the catcher doesn't have to worry about the ball...its going the other direction. though I take a ton of photos, and there are plenty where even the batters have their eyes closed. usually doesn't work out well for them.

rob Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Hard to catch a fly ball or foul tip at the plate with your eyes closed  I caught in little league for years before eventually switching to 3rd and I don't remember ever closing my eyes, but perhaps you're right, maybe it's just an involuntary blink that happens to get caught on camera. But, as you point out, the batter's eyes aren't closed.  Man, I sure learned to hate aluminum bats playing infield, though, that's for sure. Spicy!

olyclimber Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 the new composites are even scarier...though they now have rules about the pop the bats can have....(BPF rating, aka the amount of trampoline effect) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt_warfield Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 (edited) Didn't you hear that they have changed the name to the Seattle Mediocres? Â I had to move away just because of sports. Seahawks are coming on a bit but we lost the Sonics to OK where they are championship caliber and don't even have an NHL team while Cali and Florida do and we are right next to Canada! Sheesh.

olyclimber Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 the safe was electric tonight. i got to watch Rick Ankiel strike out for his 11th and 12th time in only 14 at bats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter_Puget Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 Prediction: smoak will be gone after the all star break at the latest. Â I'll be in West Seattle tonight watching g baseball - and checking out Bedard on the phone. He should be in our bullpen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olyclimber Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I don't know...Smoak seemed to be hitting the ball well in spring, I had hoped he had turned the corner somewhat. He does seem to be on everyone's chopping block, and 1st base is for hitters. Â Hopefully Ackley figures it out too. Â Zunino seems to be doing pretty well so far down at Tacoma! Â We'll be at the K-Center for a while this evening, what field will you be at? Hiawatha? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olyclimber Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Peter, don't be such a downer. Its best to keep a bright and cheery disposition while you're turning things around! Â I really enjoyed watching the boys almost mount an incredible comeback in the bottom of the 9th! So close. Â And guess what happens tomorrow?
