What does the spreadsheet say about a guy being pretty damn dominant, at least starting the next inning???

Probably that a fly ball to the track, a double off the wall and a smoked grounder doesn't count as dominant. I'm definitely going to the pen.

Jeffers is struggling right now...

Looks like 3 runs is all we’re gonna get tonight

It was huge in my area too. Tons of leagues. It all died out around the turn of the century for some reason 

For big games, crowds would be huge. A couple thousand at times.

Love hearing about this kind of quality softball when it was so good! Thanks Indiana! Sponsors were always so important!

I sometimes drive through Mankato for work and I can't help but look for the Happy Chef.  

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Come on, Beef.

I suppose…. but I grew up with Jim Perry, Jim Kaat, etc and that was just a typical late inning burp…. 
these pitchers are…. sigh.   just sigh

Yeah, I would have thought they would all insist on the White Sox or Yankees.

Dam, why do I feel so old when someone says it died about the turn of the century and it wasn’t 1900?

[Aggies7]

How tf do the umpires not know the count

He has been pretty shaky since he came back.  He's not quite in Alcala territory, but three runs isn't enough for comfort with him, either.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

BEEF!!

You're not going to like the answer.

In NY State it seemed like not a lot of young guys were joining leagues after the 1990s, so the leagues kind of aged out.  

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

That was really awkward there. Hope France is ok.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Bader on deck!!

For high school games, I blame the scoreboard operators, who are usually kids from the junior high team.  

 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Was that not Bader I saw?

Any explanation? It was always a great way to kinda play the game and stay in a bit of shape?

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

I guess it was Fitz. My apologies.

[Aggies7]

Don’t like the bullpen/red bull guzzling thing.

Good question.  There were never enough pitchers here.  Also nothing against slowpitch but you had to be at least moderately athletic to play fastpitch.

I firmly believe the 30-15 Tigers Kitties will go on a 16 game losing streak at some point
