i umpired slowpitch softball for at least 5 years & never saw someone get mad about this.
I played 20 years ago and in the championship game I had 17 POs and assists out of 21 outs. Back then it was just a thing you did.
The guy shaking the fence and yelling kills me every time
Woooooo wooooo 😂😂😂😂
Sounds like a big Choo Choo.
Hiiiiiiilarious!!!!!!! Shit starter troll.
Absolutely slayed me. 😂
#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.
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
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!
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.
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.
Exactly. Just pitch and get behind the net
The real answer is to just play and not cry about balls up the middle, but if the benches are going to clear every time a guy hits one on the screws, then I actually agree. Any ball hit into the screen should be no pitch, or if you're really dumb I guess you can make it an out, which I really dislike. But this is ridiculous.
"Hey ump, how about a warning?!"
"Ok, watch out you don't get killed!"
Moon light grahem
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
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...
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
Those are a bunch of super tough guys. Wow
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....
Nothing like a bunch of grown-ass men and acting like high schoolers, living out their un-glory days.
Serious slow pitch leagues should have a pitching net. Also, that barely hit him, what’s the problem?
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.
Dudes taking slow pitch this serious...
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……
Big John is funny af 😂😂
Damn that’s pretty intense for a softball game we usually just got drunk chilled I think I heard a Ric Flair wooooo!
Just imagine being put at catcher in a mens softball game. 😂 id be mad too
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.
Dudes in the stands chirping, but when he got to home plate they were dead silent.
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.
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!
Let them fight. All talk n no action.
Ins't this slo-pitch?
The fact that a pitcher needs to wear more equipment than a hockey player tells you how easy this game is.
The juice is finally getting to them lol
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
All these guys “almost joined the military “ & peaked in high school
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.
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.
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!
im confused. can u actually control the balls direction when you hit it with the bat? i dont play base/softball so i dont know. when i played as a kid for fun i would just swing and hope i hit the ball.
Slowpitch players at this level have a lot of control but sometimes pitchers move to cover a hole.
A bunch of grown men, wearing their pajamas, playing a girls game.
well there is no fast pitch baseball leagues sooo......
And you sitting in your moms basement watching it!😂
How many year and a day suspensions were handed down?
Brought to you by BUD LIGHT
I love this field
Wtf? Pitcher is fully protected. What's the problem?
@@blakcherry329 eh? What problem?
I’m confused on what started this. Are you not suppose to hit up the middle?
It's softball, and pitcher is afraid of the ball? Shin pads and a helmet? He shouldn't play.
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.
Just get a pitching screen as wide as the pitchers shoulders that adjusts up and down,this way when the pitcher releases the ball he gets right behind it 😀 Sometimes the ball will be hit up the middle its softball 🤭..Your going to fight when this happens🤫come on..Get that pitching screen it may save your life…
@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!
Everyone on the Bench, except the 2 that want to fight... You 2, go to center field. Lets see what happens... NOTHING.
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.
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
Grown men playing slow pitch softball. These are the dudes who never had real athletic talent.
Are not supposed to hit the ball up the middle? I play fast pitch.
Where was the chest protector?
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
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
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.
Wait what happened the pitcher got mad at the hitter???
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
It’s funny cuz it’s Branch who usually blows up the middle
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.
Do these guys know they got to go to work in the morning?
Yeah, but he probably has a crappy job, LOL 😂. That’s why he’s so angry
So here’s an idea. Usssa is in charge and playing softball is a privilege which can be taken away from a player. First both Renya and Branch are repeat offenders and they both have shitty attitudes. I don’t care how good a player or teammate either one of them are. I definitely ain’t a millennial at 46 years of age. So they both should get suspended til further notice. In the mean time while they are suspended they should be made to take an anger management class/course with a certificate of completion. Before they come back they must sign a contract that says if they do this again they will be suspended for a whole year (365 days). Then after that if they do it again then they are gone for life. USSSA should reach out to all other associations and get them to agree so no player can go play in another association. If it happened in utrip then it will happen in all the other ones. I was thinking a fine but it’s an amateur sport. Their definitely needs to be some strict rules to things like this being kids watching. I do know in the lower levels of utrip and some of the other ones they don’t tolerate cussing and I’ve seen several players get ejected from the game being played and I saw one get suspended for the rest of the tournament. I wonder how come utrip allows them to yell out fuck or shit and there be kids in the area and hear them. As a parent I would be pissed if my child heard or saw crap like this. This is just an opinion of some solutions to stop this from happening. I do remember seeing something earlier in the year where utrip said this behavior wouldn’t be tolerated. I don’t care about the score or inning. Those are excuses to condone that type of behavior. So Don Dedanatis Jr. what are you gonna do?
How about play baseball. There will never be a benchclear in baseball because the pitcher got hit. SLO-PITCH IS TOO DAM EASY
@@anthonyconant6537 I agree but benches will clear in baseball if a batter got hit.
@@anthonyconant6537 you’ve obviously never played at that level 😂
@@thepatriotwarrior4823 only if it was intentional. A few guys got hit today when I played baseball earlier. Including myself. Yes benches will clear if a picture intentionally hits a batter but never if the hitter hits the pitcher. Because hitting a baseball is so much harder. No hitter in the world as the mindset of trying to hit the pitcher playing baseball.
@@jeremylane7901 lol. I perfer a real challenge playing baseball.
ua-cam.com/video/yDgRHR4xksI/v-deo.html
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
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.
@1:12 😂 guy shaking the fence 😂
Don’t these guys all stay at the same hotels? Just meet in the parking lot and settle it.
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
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.
Both Collins and Branch are factory hitters for Pure. Seen them in a couple videos together, wonder if there is still beef
“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!🗣️🗣️🗣️”
kinda sounds like some "church" league games i used to go watch...lol...their was no ..buddy..buddy..lets all hold hands and sing kumbaya going on in any of those games...all for a cheap plastic trophy at the end of the season...lol
Adult men playing a high school girls' sport. Move along gentlemen, move along.
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
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
"But when he leave, I be talkin again."
Soooo, I don't understand what the issue is here. Are they claiming that the batter intentionally hit the pitcher in the foot?
Apparently
There's always one hot head who brings his outside stress to the game. That dude had issues before this play.
What exactly was he mad at?
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.
You gotta love the softball tough guys haha. I know a bunch of those.
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?
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.
Why wasn't Jonas pitching? Was he hit as well?
Tweaked a knee running in the mud
This what happens when you drink before the game and remember the day they were cut from the J.V. Roster. In high school.
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?
Where's the difficulty/challenge in hitting a large ball traveling at a blistering 10mph?
You miss the point of the game. This isn't baseball, contact with the ball (travelling 26 mph) is a given. Reaching base successfully 70% of the time is the goal.
Part of the game, toughen up ladies
Omg he hit a ball like your supposed to
There is no crying in softball!
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.
You would not believe how serious some people take slow pitch. You’d think it was baseball, they take it so serious.
I’m confused I played till HS and not once did i ever try to control where so hate it too what this is wild like if I just swung and it goes at him how is that my problem shi give me probs I lined up my shot
Are they serious? These aren't men their boys
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.
Its the Waynesboro Thin Skins against the Tallahassee Hair Triggers.
Was Jason branch mad that his pitcher got hit on a 3-1 or was there something that also happened or bad blood between him and Collins?
I thought he said he he was mad because the hitter ran to first full out after hitting his guy.
@@Eddiefacts He was upset because they were up 15 and it's a 3-1 count. Pitch was down the middle, a little outside, but still the perfect ball to go middle. For whatever reason, Cincinatti weekends always end up with a ton of pitchers getting shotgunned.
Usually, I just hit the ball, and where it goes is where it goes!!! Lol
Got any condensed games posting?
2 coming soon plus a women's game.
What's the average salary of these players?
depends on the level
Why the Fuck is a catcher pitching in full equipment?
lol
