Getting hit
So at what point do you say something to the coach or do you just continue to quietly take getting pummeled?
Im black and blue all over this morning after a rec league game last night. First game went well, they actually got all 7 innings done in an hour fifteen. Second game no luck. The pitcher/catcher combo just wasnt getting it done. Fairly fast pitcher for rec, probably throwing mid 50's. 2nd pitch of game pitcher misses inside to a lefty, catcher never puts a glove on it and pitch gets me just above the elbow dead square. About 4 walks later because pitcher cant get within a foot of the strike zone, she misses low, catcher never touches it, I think ball went through her legs, ricocheted off something and caught me square high on the inside of my thigh. Few batters later she misses inside again, so does catcher and gets me in the shin guard. Glad it was on because it hurt even through the guard.
Anyway, got drilled 3 times hard in the top half of the 1st, and by the end of the game had gotten hit probably 6 or 7 times. Doesnt make you real confident of standing still behind the plate wondering when the next pitch is going to hit something vital.
