Shreve Dugout Observations

Finally stopped sweating from a hot weekend in Shreve, OH to post a few observations of the weekend.

1--Right field skyline features miniature horses almost beats my dad's old pictures playing in Colorado when his team went to nationals men's fastpitch and leaving me home. Hitting a home run there must have been awesome, watching it fall into the skyline, but just think what would have happened if you hit a homer and it hit a horse!?
2--I shouldn't sit on coolers
3--I think the Cincy Doom had some inside deal with a neighbor, who not only let them park the hitch there, but lay under their shade tree!
4--Take the freeway to 30 instead of the scenic route
5--People wearing enormous Vietnamese rice farmer hats will have dogs bark at them
6--if one said umpire is the Mayor of Wooster, I foresee an outsider campaign to oust him from office
7--Just because you have a right to your opinion, doesn't mean Shreve will allow you to say it so bluntly
8--Greatest line during a Buckeye Heat game--"She sure does throw hard." Reply: "They're the Buckeye Heat, not the Buckeye Change-ups."
9--Greatest Amish softball team name--Yoder's Diamond Magic
10--M&M's make pretzel bites
11--eating too many seeds makes the tip of my tongue raw
12--When a random Ohio Ice parent asks, "Are you statman?" the next thing said after replying "yes" is not a compliment
13--speaking of the Ohio Ice, i think one of their parent's is a clone for Barry Switzer
14--in a pinch, Statman does a nice stand-in for a first base coach
15--Laser parents travel with free papa john's pizzas
16--random thought: Is Roger and Doug Wells related to John Wells? and just who are the Wells-es?

it was a unique experience, that's for sure. congrats to the winners, you ASA bid hoggers!

I don't think they are related to John Wells,, but I can remember when I played fastpitch for Roger he talked about John Wells. Did John Wells haved a team from Zanesville or somewhere down in that area? Doug Wells is Roger's son that past away when he was in his 30's.

17 $4 for a half of grilled chicken is amazing
18 it takes 1 hour and 32 minutes to get to shreve from pickerington if you have turbo for passing on the two lane senic route
19. If the plate ump doesn't watch the batter's box, and the field ump doesn't watch the baters box, don't question it or you may have statman coaching first!
20. #4 from mid ohio thunder can hit the ball

Don't voice your opinion towards the umpires, it's never "safe" to agree or disagree cause speech isn't free in Shreve. We saw an older gentlemen being belly bumped by a tournament worker, a coach being threatened of being ejected over another team's fans disagreeing with bad calls, a coach being ejected over asking a question...it is amazing the interpretations of free speech.

I was there when the coach was thrown out for saying someone needs to watch if the slapper is in or out of the box when she hits the ball. Plate ump said he is watching the ball and cannot watch the batter's feet, too. I guess they can go halfway to the mound if that's the case.

Ah, Stattie, did I not tell you that you would have one of Ohio's most unique fastpitch experiences?

The slapper must have been getting alot of hits.
Always get complaints when they hit the ball, never when they strike out. LOL

Stingrays & Lasers game is one to remember: a great duel with weather delays that went down to the wire, but it was a MOUSE that stole the spotlight......lol

Wasn't even there.

Was over at Uncle Stan's

dd gets that garbage all the time when she gets a hit. High school was even worse, half the coaches didn't even know the rules. The lead foot can be out of the box as long as it has NOT touched the ground yet on contact.

Thanx Brad... I hear my back pack made it back to Pickerington. Just haven't seen it yet! Thanx Eric (Laser Dad) for the handoff.

I love slap hits... there are 6 lefties on Classics Purple :)

She was fouling off pitches and foot was not in the air. It's that the ump said he will not watch for it...

I am not sure half of the umps could see the front of the box. The same two slappers were out of the box with the foot on the ground when we played them as well. I did not complain because we were winning and I did not want to rile the umps, they did not have much of a sense of humor. It was a lot of high level teams with some pretty low level umps that seemed to play by their own rules. We had 3 games where the umps would not even take a lineup card. I knew we were in for a long week end of umpiring when our pitcher threw the first pitch in the dirt and it was a called strike.
They also could have used a lawn mower of field two. The weeds in the outfield were eating up ground balls and even swallowed up our left fielder on one fly ball.
