I agree without any argument Chucky... I can tell you this though. Being in Fl going on 2 years has really showed me that it doesnt matter what team, what level, and whose on base the middle gets hit like a son of a b###h. I was playing in an open tourney a few weekends ago and watched Resmundo and Dan Smith get into a middle war. I watched Brett Helmer hit a 500ft bomb then get up ask how many homeruns were left ump siad 8 and Helmer hit a pissrod off the pitchers ass. Middle war begun. Jeff Hall almost decapitated someone and then Rusty Bumgartner followed suit. Those guys are the best of the best and I promise no shaved or rolled bats are better then theirs. I hit the middle a ton. I also have had a ton hit at me. Protective equipment is the answer and Im too stupid to do so.. Cheater Bats Suck.. But it is what it is.

: Damn it...I didn't want to get involved.....my 2 cents:
:
: Middle wars happen but the thing that pisses me off is that it shouldn't
: be an: "Everytime you get up no matter what the situation is
: thing"
:
: Zero outs to start and inning and the pitcher needs to understand it may
: be coming. Down by a few with bases open, yup, it may be coming. BUT every
: time!? With guys on 1st and 2nd, clear situations where the ball should be
: pushed, clear siruations where the ball should be pulled and yet people
: still take there silly bats and go middle. F*ck I remember a time when
: they only came out when you where down 2 with 2 guys on in the bottom of
: the 7th. Now any ass with a drill bit and a screwdriver Dr's a bat then
: can't wait to get out on the weekends and burry some pitcher.
: Ludacrist...just plain stupid actually.
: Now...I know most of you all think I suck and will have some comment for
: me but the truth is that I have sat the bench for a lot of great teams and
: at upper levels (B's and legit C's) this stuff doesn't go on around here.
: It never starts out with two high level teams talking in the parking lot
: about how "next game I'm gonna kill someone" CheckKing will not
: start a middle war...they will not go middle with guys on 1st, they will
: not talk about how they can't wait to kill a pitcher.
: I can swear on a stack of Bibles that this year I VOWED to not use a
: single Dr'd bat. As a team we have them and most are not using them, and
: we ARE getting our asses handed to us from stellar athletes like....well I
: won't mention the names of those that actually dissapointed ME this
: weekend, but when I see guys with hands like molasses who never hit HR's
: bang one to the opposite fields...good players...sure, but when I see
: Smaller not so athletic guys with slow hands pop one to the bottom of the
: opposite field fence...well I just have to be a little curious.
: And....to add some more anger here...IT WAS A LEAGUE OPENER !!!! THIS
: WASN'T THE NATIONALS OR A REGIONAL OR EVER A QUALIFIER..IT'S A BUNCH OF
: GUYS WHO KNOW EACH OTHER, DRINK TOGETHER (FIGHT WITH EACH OTHER) AND WORK
: TOGETHER. Hell if this is what the game has become, then maybe I should
: just play co-ed...oh ya ...wait a minute...it's the same people using the
: same bats in co-ed as well.
: Bottom line....if you can't get hits with the new bats, if you can't grab
: singles when needed and bombs when needed with the new. JH 120 or any
: Mutant ever built, or any bat that is over a year old and has been broken
: in without being boiled rolled shaved, driven over with a truck, banged
: against a pole or in some way f*cked with them maybe you should look at
: your self as a player.
:
: I just don't want to see anyone get hurt....
: And it's gonna happen.
: Both Mimmi and Corey are looking at some pretty shitty injuries, what if
: the rules where enforced and those picters took the bats that where used
: and sent to USSA? It is the rule, it is what is supposto happen, but the
: guys who got hurt had more respect for the game by not exposing there
: friends then the guys who actually hurt them. Thats F*cked up.
:
: Fire away...call me a no talent big mouth hippocrite.....Not like I havn't
: heard it before.

: Sounds like someone needs to become a full time catcher/DH. Peter Gammons
: called and said it was an all out middle war by the 2 LEGIT C TEAMS... I
: just wish i could have been there and been a part of this indescent
: exposure.. You think Rochester League opener is bad... Ask STILLY about
: florida B/C ball and the middle wars...

: I agree with Mimi on people trying to shoot the middle intentionally.
: There
: is no excuse for that. I also agree that the middle is part of the game.
: I meanIf you have two strikes on you and the pitch is over the middle of
: the plate , do you not swing. The real problem is that the bats are
: crazy, and we have people, and tou know who you are doctoring thes already
: hot bats. It is unconscionable that some would take an already crazy bat
: and alter it to make it even more dangerous. Let's cut out the nonsense
: and have fair and level playing conditionsfor everybody. And above have a
: good time with out killing someone.
