CONDENSED GAME - MPT vs SmashItSports Winners Final Hall of Fame Classic Dual #2

[@jaydenmcdonald2468]

12:20 "benches clear but nothing happens as usual" just beautiful piece of commentary

[@brianmeen2158]

In all fairness many get off the bench in an attempt to help diffuse the violence or calm their teammates down

[@jeffrogers3876]

I've seen like 20 benches cleared situations watching these Majors teams . Not one turned into bench clearing brawl or even a benches clear 2 guys fight lol. They ain't never gonna do sh**. Which is probably a good thing since most of them are 6'1-6'4 and 75% look like they're on some sort of PED's. Somebody would get hurt for sure if one of their wild overhand rights landed. You know it'd be nothing but wild overhand rights lol

[@pazzoaf]

Was really hoping to see a burly boy brawl

[@adamnorvell]

As a slow pitch SB pitcher, I promise you the flailing and fake pumps from the pitcher do nothing. The ball comes so slowly it very easy to focus. I feel like the high level pitchers do it as more of a “look how wild I can be” thing. One of the pitchers on my old team has been working so hard on learning all the wild movements and it has done nothing for him but more walks

[@MP-km9ib]

Agreed. And glad dude got rocked all game. He seemed like a prick

[@johngiovanni6045]

what do you suggest otherwise? the goal of all that is to disrupt timing just enough to induce more ground balls. I saw alot of that.

[@gt7492]

As a new slow pitch player, noticed right away its so easy hit up the middle. So I totally agree.

[@lasko24]

Even hitting the ball in slow pitch takes some skill even though the ball is coming in at an arc you can misjudge your swing and end up swinging to high or low

I chucked for fastball for years and I will say I have had more balls bouncing off me playing slow pitch

Yeah, because players can aim and there's usually a gap up the middle. That's why there's so much tension when people hit middle, because it's actually controlled and deliberate.

[@nikitakucherov5028]

I like the protective fence for the pitcher... if the ball touches it batter is automatically out. Even as the batter I like that

[@nate3972]

At this level of play, a pitcher should be athletic enough to play position defense

[@TwoFingerSaloute]

Agreed…the ball comes back so f’n fast it doesn’t take much to miss it and the damage it can cause can literally be fatal. Either an out or a single is fine with me if it hits the fence. I pitched for 15 years in slow pitch and I’ve had my share of comebacks that caused some serious pain. Guys like the guy who commented that you should be athletic enough to field the ball or avoid it don’t know shit. That’s like saying MLB pitchers who get hit with line drives aren’t athletic enough and they’re elite

[@alferguson5571]

Pitcher looks ridiculous

[@drummerboy1709]

Is there an age requirement to play major slow pitch? Also how many teams are there?

[@brianmeen2158]

It’s silly that the bats are so juiced now. It’s completely tarnished the art of hitting home runs.

Damn... walk up on that pitch and hit it. Everyone feet planted like back in the baseball days. Start in the back of ths box walk up and swing the bat from higher position with a slight downward rotation of the bat but not quite a chop swing.
