April 26, 20179 yr At least if I'm looking fastball, if I keep my hands back, I can adjust to a hook. If I'm looking curve, with my diminished bat speed, no way will I be able to catch up with a fastball. Regardless, the only way I even have a chance is if he makes a mistake, whether it's a hanging curve or a fastball that gets too much of the plate.I feel confident I could go 1 for 40. Just sayin.
April 26, 20179 yr I feel confident I could go 1 for 40. Just sayin. My cocky, arrogant side says I can. My realistic side says probably not. All I know for sure is I've played in my high school alumni game for almost 10 years now, and once I hit my mid 40's, while I can still go yard in BP (I won the pregame HR contest 2 years ago), in game action I've gotten AB's against recent college grads, and it's been a struggle to make solid contact, and I've only managed to scrape out a couple hits over the last 5 years or so. And those guys aren't in the same universe as Bronson.
April 27, 20179 yr My only chance of getting a hit would be the following scenario... 1. Swing wildly at the first pitch, letting go of the bat so that it flies down the left field line. b. Try to drop a bunt down the third base line, and hope that I've scared Suarez enough on the first pitch that he's playing back an extra step or two. After that, I've got nothing. As Dirty Harry said..."A man's got to know his limitations."
