The guy shaking the fence and yelling kills me every time
Woooooo wooooo 😂😂😂😂
Sounds like a big Choo Choo.
Classic case of "Hold me back! Hold me back!"
Exactly. Lots of posturing knowing full well he will be held back by his teammates.
Crazy I was always told if you can't field the position then don't play it
I like how marshburn just stayed at the plate leaning on his bat watching 🤣🤣
Been playing softball for 6 years, this has happened 100+ times and only once have I ever seen a fight actually break out, there is usually too man peacekeepers, which is a good thing!
What is the issue? That it was on purpose?
@@TheDownsie14that’s my question.
i umpired slowpitch softball for at least 5 years & never saw someone get mad about this.
It's always the shortest guys on the team that need to be "held back" 😂😂
Killing me....
If hitting the ball back up the middle is such a no,no, why not just put a pitchers screen up?
Exactly ignorant. If it hits the net its a out.
Reyna always tryna be in the middle of the shit 😂 I wanna see him get knocked out one time 😂
Yes PLEASE always talking shit. Most overrated player in conference
@@matthewwood9920 all of Tom Cruise sent to the stratosphere would be awesome!
He doesn't have harvey to take care of him anymore lol always the first one in talking shit
Too much many tequila
All bark no bite 80% of those guys. Branch was just having a bad day he must have upped his test dosage!
He's definitely a hot head for no apparent reason. Bring em in one of these backyard tournaments and see if he acts the same way
Yeah must have been on the sauce craig
They charged .....like a herd of turtles....it was terrifying
The fact that the pitcher is dressed like a damn hockey goalie tells me all I need to know 🤣😉😉
Facts I was wondering the same shit, 😭like if this never happens why tf u got all the gear on
Middle is live! Them the rules. You know that going into it. Bunch of cry sissy’s
Pitcher is the most dangerous position in slowpitch.
Theyve forced bats to be harder, faster. The ball is much harder than yrs ago, many leagues have been using the pitchers alley as a dead ball out. Hitting up the middle is danherous even in rec league. These guy dont use off the rack sporti g good bats, theyre ordered, the end cap is taken off, hydraulically rolled in a press, then lathed off inside by 1000th of an inch. End cap glued back on. It is terribly dangerous and they all do it. These bats from companies on the web can cost 600 or more dollars.
Yes. I was wondering if that's a part of softball these days...
Playing majors along time ago and saw a guy's face get crushed lost an eye.
These guys are to good to hit middle, sometimes it is an accident but now what I see it's like a major league pitcher throwing at someone's head . Dangerous!
Totally insane to be mad if somebody hits the ball at you. Don’t play
Agreed
Some leagues, tournaments will call the game if it happens more than once. Teams are aware of the rule, be it written or unwritten. At the Major or Elite level with the high tech bats and live balls and short distance to pitcher, you'd have pitchers 0n stretchers left and right, if up the middle wasn't restricted. Wasn't that long ago that it'd be rare to see a pitcher wearing a mask. I've seen some gruesome involuntary face, nose, and dental jobs performed right there on the diamond.
@@gregbaker9857 go old school, back to wooden bats 🤷♂️
@@billymac7994
I thought we were supposed to be saving forest?
I agree, but these bats are ridiculous. Stop allowing crazy double wall composites before someone gets seriously hurt.
“I don’t care about softball anymore. Don’t you understand that”
-Guy playing softball
"Hey ump, how about a warning?!"
"Ok, watch out you don't get killed!"
Just imagine being put at catcher in a mens softball game. 😂 id be mad too
Its one thing to go middle at this level where everyone has almost equal skill....its another thing when these guys go middle on league night vs a team thats just out there to have some fun and as a ASA/UTRIP umpire in so cal for 10 years i have seen it happen....
Most of you have never pitched i see. Its not about fielding your position its about not hitting a line drive when your 6'5 275 and can smash it out of the park. The pitcher is the closest to the hitter and dont really stand a chance protecting himself hint the catchers gear he is wearing. Middle is open after that so be ready for your pitcher to receive it right back.
They do have home run limits and pitchers do move to cover holes but I understand what you are saying.
I have not played in a few years but it was one of those understood things you did your best not to hit a ball up the middle for fear of killing the pitcher......
I played AAA then after played softball as a pitcher... growing up in chicagp learned playining 16 in unlimited arch.. so pitchinging 12" slow.. I could be standing behind 2nd base by the time the batter swung the bat... I could also control the pitch enough to prrevent a ball getting hit directly back at me... If bases we loaded with 2 outs.... I squared up and wanted the ball hit to me to knock it down or catch a line drive... If you have to play with gear as a pitcher... use a limited flight ball.
Most of these guys have probably never played baseball of fast pitch🤷🏻♂️ not real hard to hit a ball coming in at 15mph
Big John is funny af 😂😂
The juice is finally getting to them lol
This should be renamed Arc-ball. This type of ball will be my last stop before I stop playing entirely. Juiced up guys, juiced up bats, and SLOW pitching, what did you except? Bunch of tough talk probably because they were down 10 runs in 30-20 game.
Exactly because it's Arc-Ball you should have bat control.
@@GenZapata562 he did have control. He hit it exactly where he was trying to.
Bingo. When I started playing it was unlimited arc. Go back to it. Totally different game. If you see a senior player that can tomahawk the shit out of the ball he played unlimited.
It’s a part of the game. You throw the ball middle middle where do you expect it to go??? These grown men take this shit way too serious.
Yes but running to first like your in the Olympic 40 yard dash isn't cool. He could have gotten the same results by just jogging to first.
@@stanleyzlobecki4255 that doesnt make sense. If your that softball dont play. 😂
@@stanleyzlobecki4255 always sprint through the base don't matter
I know there is some unwritten law now about going up the middle, but sometimes that's just your natural swing. I'm 68 now and still pitching, go ahead and hit
See the ball, hit the ball. If it goes back through the box then so be it. It's not my problem if the players can't field their positions.
thank you and well said. there are some players, like in this video, who depending on their moods take offense to a player going up the middle. but I will bet you anything that if the catcher could hit and hit the ball middle, he would celebrate getting to 1st base. this is called HYPOCRISY!
Dudes in the stands chirping, but when he got to home plate they were dead silent.
I played baseball my entire life, and never had any interest in mens slow pitch softball. This is a perfect example of why.
Yes two different games with some skills crossover
This is rare... from my experience
“But don’tcha wish you can just go back… man if coach put you in… you’d be state champ” 😂
I played I guess what you would call high level softball from right out of high school to around 30 years old and then starting playing baseball. Over 18 leagues until my mid 40’s and over 40 for the last 10 years. Never went back to softball and never will.
Me too. Played occasionally and the level of compete in some of these Johnny try hards can make it unbearable.
This was funny to watch !!!
The pitcher has a helmet and shin pads on…..
In my league we say sorry for hitting up the middle
Yeah if it comes to close to the pitcher (they don’t wear catchers gear) we just apologize or say my bad and everybody goes about their day.
A bunch of grown men, wearing their pajamas, playing a girls game.
well there is no fast pitch baseball leagues sooo......
HOW DARE YOU HIT IT TO AN INFIELDER WITH A GLOVE!!!!
Slow pitch softball players. Most are cool but some are big babies....
Let alone he’s wearing almost a full set of catchers gear lol
@@KeyshawnJenkins nah but fr those shin guards came in clutch. We can argue about whether or not he should be fast enough to field that at this level but that ball would have messed up his ankle for sure!
Reyna coming out all hard. Like always, never seen a punch. 🤣🤣🤣
Reyna a clown what’s he gonna do to these guys
For Reyna, it's the juice talking
You wear a glove and shin guards for a reason.
Never had either didnt need them and never cried when a guy came after me ez out
Don’t these guys all stay at the same hotels? Just meet in the parking lot and settle it.
I've played softball for a very long time. I place the ball where I choose too. I don't go up the middle on the pitcher intentionally, if it's in their vicinity they get "my bad pitch". Now we do have an unwritten rule in softball, like baseball. If you go to my pitcher 3 times in a game with no apologies. Your pitcher now is a live target. We will hit piss missiles middle all day. Nothing more terrifying than a 100+mph grapefruit coming at your head.
Sure there is….ever been to war? A softball doesn’t compare to lead……
never understand why people even get mad at that. its part of the game. when your on the mound, behind the plate, wherever, you will get contact somewhere. its bound to happen, just man up, take the hit and go to the next pitch... Its not like anyone can completely control that. a line drive to the mound is inevitably going to happen at some point.
Everyone on the Bench, except the 2 that want to fight... You 2, go to center field. Lets see what happens... NOTHING.
shocked that Purcell was not in the middle of it.
Nah, he's a man, not a kid!!!
He would have been if they hit one at him.
Damn that’s pretty intense for a softball game we usually just got drunk chilled I think I heard a Ric Flair wooooo!
Love how the catcher had his chance to throw hands with the guy when he approached him at first but did nothing then all of a sudden tried rushing him out of nowhere cause he knew his teammates would stop him.. 🐺 🐑
Yeah and get kicked out softball for the year very smart know your shit
@@austinjohnson2387 plenty of other leagues to play in.. and u can clearly hear him tell his teammate he doesn’t give af about softball anymore anyways lol 🤷♂️
Not when you have a contract you signed to play for them.
😆
One was scared, and the other was glad of it.
When does it come to a pitching screen, and if the batter hits it, dead ball batters out, no runner advance? It's terrible, but it prevents all the hurt vagina garbage.
It’s part of the game I play and still play it’s a hard grounder back up the middle pitcher needs better fielding skills it hit him in the foot
“CMON LADIES! let’s stop all this cupcaking, and grab ass bullshit, the lights shut down in 30 minutes! I gotta take my kid to school in the morning!🗣️🗣️🗣️”
I pitched in men’s slow pitch leagues and if the opponent kept coming up the middle and if I stopped the ball, you best just walk straight to bench. I’ve been known to throw the ball off a bit.
I love this field
Wtf? Pitcher is fully protected. What's the problem?
@@blakcherry329 eh? What problem?
It's funny watching this when lulu and branch live down here in Florida and just played in a tourney together. They grew up playing each other and being on same team. Must've squashed it
This is why we play modified softball with different ball: we all have careers and families to get back to. Plus fast pitching gives the game more of an edge. Then again we play with ex pro players too.
Nobody cares
Modified? Is that fast pitch? Or just no arc?
Ok Tammy
I miss the days of Danny Saylor coming out to stop a fight. All pissed off cuz he had to leave the air conditioned office, cigarette still in his mouth lol.
Doesn't get any better than this. The Budweiser signs, the Bud-Light signs. The batter throwing the bat harder than he hit the ball. The elephant like reflexes of the pitcher in full battle gear. The 5-infielder game plan. The smell of HGH and Adderall flowing. The arguing. The sheat talking. The batter flicking that bat as to get the perfect timing on the 10mph balloon coming his way. Yea, this has it all.
May not be as easy as you think but it is a blast to play.
@@sw48 Nooo, not saying it's easy. Played third-base on a few tournament teams and some pretty high-quality rec leagues filled with only D level teams. Nothing easy or "soft" about a softball coming off the juiced bat of a 300lb guerilla on steroids. Just the video is chock full of the typical slow-pitch softball stereotypes.
There's always one hot head who brings his outside stress to the game. That dude had issues before this play.
It’s funny cuz it’s Branch who usually blows up the middle
This happens all the time in slow-pitch I don't see why this is worth getting upset about unless there's context that suggests it was intentional. Plus the pitcher is covered head to toe in padding.
Usually, I just hit the ball, and where it goes is where it goes!!! Lol
Besides the Williams/Drilling incident back in 95', name one time a major player has actually thrown a punch and/or physically assaulted another player on field?
All these guys “almost joined the military “ & peaked in high school
The Catcher is the slow-pitch Charlie Hustle!! The way he sprang into action to retrieve that ball off the pitcher's leg. WTF was he trying to accomplish?
Just my opinion first I don't think the pitcher was intentionally throwing balls cuz if you notice they were not that bad. Some people would have swung at ball 3 and pulled it down the 3b line. Secondly I don't think Collins was actually aiming at the pitcher, I think he just took a hard swing at a 3-1 pitch and just centered it up on the bat. I don't think he would have hustled out of the box as hard as he did, plus he paid no attention to the ball after he hit it and just ran. I think all of this has to do with either the score at this point in the game or that he swung 3-1.... but who knows.
If I'm not mistaken Collins walked few time before this not seeing a strike
No they aim at the pitcher now it's a numbers thing
"I think all of this has to do with him swinging 3-1" are you not supposed to swing when it's 3-1? I'm a baseball player so I don't know all the softball etiquette rules
Part of the game, toughen up ladies
This what happens when you drink before the game and remember the day they were cut from the J.V. Roster. In high school.
Brought to you by BUD LIGHT
#15, 9 and the third player at 3:30 are the only ones with any brains or dignity. I've played softball for over 30 years. I've never taken the game serious for the simple reason that I have to work the next morning or on Monday after a weekend game. I'm not diving, sliding or fighting. None of those things feed my family. I played Div 3 football and club hockey in college so yes I'm competitive but not stupid.
Damn what bat was that????????. In the batters defense the pitch was outside. Most softball players only pull with pop so when you try to pull an outside pitch that can happen. Also The pitcher did have all that gear on
Both Collins and Branch are factory hitters for Pure. Seen them in a couple videos together, wonder if there is still beef
The fact that a pitcher needs to wear more equipment than a hockey player tells you how easy this game is.
Omg he hit a ball like your supposed to
There should be a designated fighting area in softball, a nice 15x15 ring just outside the field. You can enter with mutual combat, but your game is over.
Dude you covered from head to toe
I've hit line drives at pitchers never meaning too normally I wave "My Bad" and afterwards check if pitch is all good. Times if I hit the pitch anywhere above the waist I just call myself out or walk cause I never mean to hurt them its an enjoyable sport to get outside play. This Catcher took too much offense if I were his teammate tell him go walk yourself home dude besides pitch is fine hit in foot sure its bruised but he'll walk.
You notice when the aggressive little man walking towards the dude cool as ice...The fact that he's calm and collected is one GIANT red flag not to fuck with him. The chihuahua of a man being all aggressive got a huge bark but that chin looks fragile lololol.
Wait. I'm confused by all of this. Why is the catcher pitching? Why are they all mad about the batter hitting the ball? I don't understand any of this.
The pitcher should be fielding his position like a catcher - he's armored. Block the ball and fire to first.
@1:12 😂 guy shaking the fence 😂
If a pitch wants to throw outside to a straight pull hitter the ball coming fast back up the middle is expected.
That’s what some of these jokers don’t get
Softball fights….love watching weekend warriors fight it out 😂😂😂😂
Do these guys know they got to go to work in the morning?
Its the Waynesboro Thin Skins against the Tallahassee Hair Triggers.
Just let em fight. I bet if people quit holding someone back they wouldnt be as tough.
Can someone explain why he mad? The pitcher has on protective gear. I’m assuming for liners. So why he mad?
It's because it's considered unsportsmanlike. Most of those guys can hit anywhere, and going up the middle is often time intentional. It's hard to tell if anything happened to lead up to it but usually when people go up the middle you can see it coming. Not illegal but it's poor sportsmanship. Lower levels people usually don't care because when it does happen it's usually unintentional.
I pitch from 5ft behind the rubber and I back up on every pitch. Period
You won't catch me up in front of the rubber.
All I want is a catcher that will let it bounce and don't make me chase it when you throw it back.
P.S. It gives my curveball more speed and more break.
You gotta love the softball tough guys haha. I know a bunch of those.
What was the big deal? Why was the guy in the blue so pissed? He wasn't even the one hit with the ball.
if you wear a full uniform for slowpitch softball, eventually something like this will happen
he was wearing catcher shin pads, he probably barely felt it.
I pitch in softball and get come backers like every few games it’s no big deal
0.21 HAHAHAHAHA!!! He walked fast and slowed down and almost started apologizing for walking up to him.. Must have seemed real small from the pitchers mount and as he got closer and closer and closer, oh boy! LOL! He is big.. LMFAO!!
It's the cincy, everybody drunk as fuck
Iv played baseball through college and some men's softball casually you can kinda control where you hit it but not really is it illegal to hit it up the middle most the time balls goes where it goes...
I've never seen a pitcher armored up like that.
"But when he leave, I be talkin again."
Reyna almost got beat up again? Geez lil guy!!
I’m confused on what started this. Are you not suppose to hit up the middle?
dude has protective gear on. what a baby.
These dudes out there in the pajamas.
@sw48 are you gonna post any condensed games from the cincy?
I am building two condensed games plus a women's game.
@sw48 awesome! Appreciate all that you do!
Crazy everyone is blowing a head gasket like If they’re like Lou Pinella 😂
Now if this video got this many views, imagine the video where the two guys were let to fight! Damn that would be an even more viral video..
If you pitch outside it’s coming back at the pitcher.
How bout just adding the protective fence for the pitcher and if you hit that it’s an automatic out?
They do that in senior ball
One of the problems is that the bats are so much improved it's scary!
there's no problem lol a pitcher took the ball to the ankle. This is a non-issue.
That and the ball is going 15 mph makes odds of contact 99%
The bats these days are nerfed out. I remember using the black Easton c-core in the 80's, that thing was lethal, and the favorite bat of power hitters. Lotta bounce
I’m sorry but at this level hitting up the middle should be enough to get you tossed. Rec and maybe D I can see it. But once you get to C and above at that point players are pretty good with placing it. It’s not like the older days where balls weren’t leaving the bat at 90+ MPH
Always the little guys. Hold me back.
Looks like a bunch of Balco labs clients are on that field.
Why do all these dudes act like they are playing in the MLB? Sheesh. Just freakin play and have fun man. Gettin all mad over b.s. is for the birds.
Yeah, I would agree. But I do believe that at this level these guys are sponsored and get a payout.
Funny how these pitcher pitch knowing what could happen but yet get all bent backwards when a shot comes back at them.
This pitcher didn't start of say anything.
