Softball at isp is not because of prices / issues with softballers… it’s that travel teams/high schools/ little league kids are more than willing to pay way more than softball people are and will take all the fields for good.
It’s the same reason slowpitch will never happen at Grand Park - they wouldn’t make nearly as much money from us as they do the kid baseball from rich parents thinking their kids are going pro.
They are making money on food and beer sales. And honestly, they should pay the umps more. ISP should kick in an extra $10 per game for the umps on top of the $26 the teams pay them.
Just to deal with all the BS.
Go back to playing with aluminum bats and let everyone play
People should just stop playing there. Prices are ridiculous, bathrooms are shit, parking lot still trash, scoreboards don’t work, banning players because people complain, etc. the list can go on
League shouldn’t cost a team an arm and a leg… $500 to play, $4 gate fee x10players= $40 x 5weeks in a session= $200, plus $26 a night for umpires. $26x5= $130… so for 5 weeks, it costs $830 per team, per 5 weeks. Times that by how ever many teams in a session… you’re looking at $6000 in revenue if you have 6-7 in ONE SESSION for ONE NIGHT a week. Theres multiple sessions across multiple nights….Where is their money going?
Only a matter of time before there is no adult slowpitch softball at ISP including leagues and tournaments.
The only part where I’ll defend Colbe is that Bryce started it all by bitching about the one hopper
These guys got mad at a 50 yr old hitting middle? Put a net up for these babies.
Sounds like middle is apart of the game until the person that says that is pitching. Him causing all this when I’ve seen him hit middle more than anyone in REC/E league. If you’re mad a 50 year old is hitting middle, you have a fragile ass ego
Isn’t middle part of the game? Sawft as F
He was indeed pitching
He kinda started the whole mess bc if he didn’t say a word nothing would’ve happened
Is it true Brice Pardue was pitching? Because that would be very fun for him to be upset over someone hitting middle when he hit our pitcher in the knee at league and ran it out
Long story short
A ball was one hopped by Steve to the pitcher and the pitcher didn’t like it. So he was talking
Steve went back into dugout then left dugout to go coach 3rd
As soon as he got to 3rd it wasn’t 10 seconds that Colbe got in Steve’s face, Steve’s pushed him away, Colbe came back and pushed Steve away then followed up with a right hook and Steve froze and went to the ground.
After the fight mudd went to protect his teammate and Colbe and mudd fought outside the dugout. And more punches were thrown.
Steve had to have oral surgery and Colbe busted a knuckle open.
Some one spill the details
One get suspended indefinitely for defending yourself. The others both approached him and get nothing. But apparently isp and whoever in charge just makes their own rules up as they go. Suspend both party's make it right
