Does Anyone else out there just Pitch, and never Hit ?

My first love was fielding too and it stayed that way until I got tired of it by about high school. Then my biggest baseball dream came true in my SR year of college.

I became a full-time DH.

Greatest baseball season of my life. I felt like Edgar Martinez. All I did was rake.

Awesome.

The funniest thing is that I was never a pitcher (well I was for one season, but i was pretty awful. Actually hit the same guy twice in the same inning, if that tells you anything), but I enjoy pitching a lot in video games.

I attended Western Washington Univ.


I could have played all four years, but instead I have decided to fast-track to the married priesthood, in the old catholic line of ordination. As a ND Alum, you have seen the HORRORS of Vatican 2.


I am really a Sedevacantist, a minority of traditional catholic. Actually, I believe the Faith of The Apostles, Saints, and Martyrs.


Look into The Third Secret of Fatima.


I hope to be married, ordained, and serving a church in less than two years.


And I will always play MLB The Show !! Call it a public Cofession !!

Coolio. Why hitting over fielding ?

No idea. Just got tired of fielding after awhile. Probably helped I was pretty good at hitting and just average at fielding. Plus I didn't really have a position. I was mostly a SS/2nd baseman, but after I contracted Chuck Knoblauch disease and couldn't throw to first anymore, I moved to CF/LF. I was alright, but I never had the love to play the OF like I did when I was a SS/2B. Just standing out in the grass I didn't feel like I was "in" the game anymore.

Just hitting though, I felt like I could impact the game more with my bat. Plus I didn't have to run all the way out to the outfield each inning.

Love the passion but you need to tone it down a bit on the religious discussion, it's not permitted on OS.


I too went to a catholic college (and high school for that matter).

In college I did


I got recruited to play both outfield and pitch but ended up just being good enough to pitch only.




In the show I do it all.
