I do prefer FP and I got my association letter yesterday getting us ready for the NFHS season. It is time to get stoked baby.
I agree, modified is a great game. Unfortunately, here on Long Island, men's modified is shrinking while SP continues to remain strong and fast pitch is growing rapidly. I think the problem with men's modified is a shortage of good pitchers.

Pitcher takes it back and pitches as fast as he can without windmill. The good male pitchers thow just as fast as femail fastpitch with as much movement on the ball.

Are you saying he's redundant ... that he repeats himself ... that he says the same thing over and over?

You two are both being repetitious and redundant.

I disagree. Judging by the number of new threads and posts these days (it is the off-season for most of us) what you regard as redundancy is merely the echo in this nearly empty chatroom...chatroom...chatroom...

Big sig...

If you look down in the right hand corner of your post, you will notice a button that says "edit." You can use that feature to correct spelling or grammatical mistakes without double posting. You can also delete a post from there.

MP disappeared in my state a while back. We've tried to reintroduce it by bringing some teams in for a tournament, but the guys around hear are long on BS and short on the courage to try a more demanding game than SP.

Little do they know that many would do well as the adjustment from baseball to MP is much easier than to SP. Well, nobody said they were smart.
