| We are in mid-March and don't have any information on what teams have done during the off-season. Therefore, we lack the necessary insights and resources to formulate an opinion. As the regular season progresses, players and teams become more excited about the playoffs, which is unsurprising as teams only play each other a few times. Let's start playing some games and then we can begin to predict future outcomes.
Looking forward to 24!

| What if you switch hit at Crosby ? Does it count ? Or maybe make it double points since it’s not a real diamond. Or …… maybe look at it like both teams are playing on the same diamond and have the same opportunities to score with balls that go over the fence. I don’t hit the ball very far so I can chisel on either diamond. My only complaint about Crosby is the hut is not open during regular season games with pints. Someone tell gonzo to fix this please.

In slopitch, I can get up there hit a ball, run a bit and then go back to the dugout. But I have a huge case of fat belly. So that may also have something to do with it.

At this point, your dominant hand, elbow, and back thigh will all line up. Keep your head completely still while you're swinging.
