hurry up and make one if your gonna.

Running Time:
Grey arrived at the running diamond just as Willy Johnson was finishing up his 10 lap sprint, with the new runners.
This time most of them were huffing and puffing.
"Now that the warm-up is done time for practice."
Everyone groaned. Grey laughed, he has been through more sprints with Willy then almost anyone.
"Hey, Coach I want you to be the ump today, go behind the plate." said Willy
"So sacrifice flies it is?" Grey guessed
"Correct, Who wants to go first?" asked Willy
"I'll go first." said Tobias Smith from the crowd.
Tobias went to third and a deep fly was sent into center and Tobias tagged up and scored.
Hmmm, He's got decent speed for a power hitter, thought Grey.
"Now try at second, and remember to perfectly time the run. Getting into third is almost as important as getting home. Don't underestimate the power of being in scoring position, pitchers and fielders will act differently depending on where you are causing holes in the defense." explained Willy.

PING. The fly was short, it wouldn't be a cakewalk to talk third.

Decision Time for robdiesel
A. Tag up and sprint to third
B. Fake the tag to draw a throw
C. Stay at 2nd
D. Get into a run down
E. Go hit some high flies

"Hey guys listen up. Double plays KILL offenses, if your on first and your teammate hits a ground ball, you can save your team. Take him out, take out the turner. It will benefit everyone, except maybe the turner." said Willy
"Yes, run hard, take him out." said Grey.
"Who wants to go first?" asked Willy
No one moved.
"You, the one with the funny name, Jorgenson." said Willy
Jorgenson sighed and went to first. He didn't take a lead, and half jogged to 2nd when a ground ball was hit.
"What do you think your doing, you want to run into the ground." yelled Willy
"Okay, okay. I'll try jeez." said Joesph.
Ping the ball was hit and Jorgenson did...

Decision Time for cooldude.
A. Jog it, a bit faster this time
B. Head first slide into second
C. Feet first slide into second
D. Jump up and try to deflect the ball
E. Go sit in the dugout

"Its important on the base paths, the game could be won or lost. Your on first and a double is hit, you stop at third, but could of scored a run, next batter strikeout and you lose. Be smart on the bath paths and you'll be a step closer to victory, literally." said Willy
A couple players nodded.
"If you can use your brain, quick and efficiently, you will be a great asset to your team." said Grey
Zeke Woods the baseball fanatic stepped up.
"I think I can do it, I can probably Judge how long I have to get home."
"Good, confidence is good." said Willy

Zeke stepped up to first and CRACK and the ball was shot to right-center.

Decision time for gocubs
A. Head first slide into third
B. Round third and prepare for a crash
C. Round third and prepare for a slide.
D. Stop at second
E. Try to get into third standing up

Grey and Willy were watching people run the bases when Buddy George came over, his arm in a sling.
"Hi coach." he said
"What's the damage?" asked Grey
"Its dislocated and something or other, I sort of didn't pay much attention." said George
"Oh, while at least it isn't very serious." said Willy a little disappointed
"Coach, they said I could do running practice its just my arm, they said I'll be fine."
"Really? I highly doubt that if your arm is in a sling." said Grey staring hard into George's eyes.

Decision Time for Brewersfuzz.
A. Yeah, they said I would be fine, no restraints
B. No coach, I lied, I'm sorry, its just I need to make this team, I'll do anything possible to make this team
C. Yeah, I can't slide, I'll just run some sprints over here
D. Keep quiet, and avoid eye contact
E. No coach, they didn't, but you can't stop me

Is this ok?

Pitchers time, for some reason I'm gonna hate doing pitching updates:

7:44 pm Tryout Day 2
Grey yawned a couple times, and looked at his watch.
"50 more minutes, its gonna take forever." groaned Grey
"You sound like a kid, Coach." said Jim.
Grey just shook his head and the two of them walked over to the pitching complex, where all the pitchers were throwing already.
Bill Grant walked over to the two coaches.
"Fielding day for some of them," he said with a smile "I love watching pitchers field."
"Your crazy Grant." said Jim
"Whatever, Jim, we'll be working on pop flies, for the first part of practice." said Grant
"Okay, good. Whose up first?" asked Grey
"Bob Randomguy," said Grant
"Okay let it rip."
RG threw a fake pitch, while a pitch machine threw a pitch and a batter popped it up. Randomguy try to track it, but couldn't, his glasses got in his way and the pitch landed a couple feet behind him.
"What are you doing?"
"I couldn't see it coach, can I try um again."
"Sure."
Ping.

Decision Time for Longball

C. Stick glove above head and hopefully catch it
D. Try to calculate the trajectory of the bat
E. Space out

"Hey coach I want to try now." said Clarence Fair.
"Okay, Fair how bout some double plays." said Grant
"Sure piece o'cake." boasted Fair
"How about a bunt, you must decide, get the lead runner going to third or get the safe out at first." said Grey
"Okay." said Fair and he nodded confidently
And he got into position.

Decision Time for PPJunior.
A. Field the bunt and get the easy out at first
B. Hurry up and try for a DP
C, Risk the toss to third
D. Hold in-case of a risky throw
E. Let the 3B get it


"Hey, coach they said I was all set, I'm hydrated now." said Ryan Techer
"Ah thats good, you already fielded correct?" asked Jim
"Yep, mate, too right!(defiantly)" said Techer
"Ah yes, why don't you go to the weight room and work on top speed."
"Sure, mate. Ace idea." he said and was off.

Techer walked into the weight, which was completely empty except for one lifter and a couple spotters.
"Again." shouted a rough voice
A grunt from the lifter.
Cling.
The lifter placed the bar back in place and took a towel to wipe himself from the sweat.
Techer walked in and the spotters left. Techer looked around and he hardly knew what most of these were for.
The lifter saw Techer's surprise asked "First time in a weight room?"
"Ah yeah, mate, you look pretty comfortable." said Techer
"Hmm, you should weight lift more. I assume your a player, what position?" asked the lifter
"Starting pitcher, the name's Ryan Techer. What's yours mate?" asked Techer
"Max, Max Lundgren. I'm a pitcher too."
"Oh are you new I haven't seen you around."
"No, I have been in the weight room the whole day."
"Maybe you should take a break you look like you knocked back a couple turps, mate." suggested Techer.
"Whats a turp."
"Its Australian for drinks, alcoholic beverages."
"Oh, haha." max laughed
"Hey, why weren't you outside pitching?"
"Well you see I don't really like the coach to tell the truth."
"Oh Allen Grey, he seems a lot different from all the other coaches I had in the past." said Techer
"Eh? He just annoys me."
"Oh, whatever. Could you tell me what I should use to increase pitch speed?"
"Yeah, sure"
"Lundgren get over here." called a spotter
"Well sorry I got to go." said Lundgren
Well what do I do now.

Decision Time for DNK
A. Go outside
B. Wait for Max
C. Try the bench press
D. Try regular weights
E. Try Medicine ball catch


"Hey coach!" shouted a voice
"Ah, Jonathan." said Grey
"Sorry I'm late I hit traffic on the trolley car." said Jonathan
"No problem, Jim this is Jonathan Abe, he will compete for our closer's spot."
"Oh, what are you good at?" said Jim
"Speed, 100 is nothing new to me."
"Another one eh? This will be good." said Jim
Abe just shrugged his shoulders.
"I got a game for you." said Jim
"A game?" asked Grey
"Yep break the brick."
Grey and Jonathan both looked confused.

"Just hurl the ball as fast as you can and see if you can knock down all the bricks."
Jim blew the whistle after setting up the game

B. Just hurl fastballs
C. Show off your breaking balls
D. What kind of game is this!?
E. Get angry at the bricks and yell at them and try to get them to fall down

"Sure no problem."
Jim translated.
Otaku nodded.

The pitch is thrown, the runner takes off.

A. Throw from knees
B. Jump up and throw to 2nd
C. Hold the ball

Hey guys how do you fell about have a chemistry system, where you can mutually chose a teammate or two and you guys hang out during and after practice and get a boost in performance when you bat near them or help in the field.
Please Vote YAY or NAY

Lower arm strength a bit and please add a bio and personality, and I'll get you in the next update.

Jonathan can translate

And I like the idea of chemistry, YAY

I'll go with B

YAY for chemistry, and I choose B.

A. Fundamentals aren't Fair's strength, but even he knows that in this situation, he should just go for the easy out.

B, just to be safe.
