Have You Seen Me Lately?

Devlin · 05-31-2007, 08:07 AM

Congrats on the new addition.

Sorry to hear about the injuries during the game, but glad to hear you are resting up.

Malley · 06-01-2007, 09:51 AM

Playin this weekend?

Pylon · 06-01-2007, 02:22 PM

Not at this point.

The legs are feeling fine. I passed on cardio (despite my plans to go to the gym). Kinda glad I did. It's been busy, plus I think the extra rest helped.

Brutus_G · 06-01-2007, 06:19 PM

Wats up man?

Pylon · 06-02-2007, 07:14 AM

Nada. Y tu?

Ah, the single life.

I hate you.

Malley · 06-03-2007, 06:50 PM

I hate you as well!

Brutus_G · 06-04-2007, 01:24 PM

I love you both!

Archangel · 06-04-2007, 03:22 PM

Hope all is well BRother Pylon!!!

Pylon · 06-04-2007, 07:45 PM

Hey all...busy busy busy. Sorry for my absence. Not likely to get better in the next couple of days, but I did make it to the gym today....

WU - elliptical, 6 min

Each SS is 4 sets of 6 reps each, 75 sec RIs between sets

Hang Clean - 115x5
SS reverse crunches BW x 4

Standing alt DB press - 45 x 4
SS 1 arm DB row - 60 x 4

Split squats - 50 x 4
SS single leg DB DL - 45 x 4

Bench dips - BW x 4
SS DB external shoulder rotation - 20 x 4

Took a little extra time after the third round on the third SS. The 1 leg DLs really take a toll on my lats.

OK, off to my game. I'll check in the morning....

Pylon · 06-04-2007, 10:26 PM

OK, so I'm checking in early...

We finished the session at 5-3 after a 16-12 win tonight. I went 3-3, and the scorebook will show a double and a home run, 3 runs scored, 3 RBI (I think). In reality, there were 2 doubles, but on one, the throw went to the plate and missed the catcher, who collided with the runner, then opted to help he up rather than get the ball. I was rounding third by the time the pitcher (who failed to back up the play), realized what had happened. I got to the plate about the time he got to the ball.

Also had a nice play at short to double off a runner at first. Plus, I did some hard running with nary a peep from my legs. All in all a good game.

Also, my replacement bat arrived today. I'll be trading it in later this week, hopefully before my Thursday game.

b_reed23 · 06-05-2007, 02:47 AM

on everything

Pylon · 06-05-2007, 06:51 AM

Thanks B...

OK, final numbers for the spring session. I ended up hitting .773, 1.227 SLG, .783 OBP. Not bad. Hopefully the fall session will be better, since I won't be tinkering with a new bat and swing.

Brutus_G · 06-05-2007, 12:35 PM

Bet someone had some fun lol.

DeadBolt · 06-05-2007, 04:03 PM

Lookin good man and looks like your kickin ass on the feild!

Good hitting, Py! No summer leagues for you? When does the "fall" season start?

Pylon · 06-05-2007, 09:06 PM

Thanks all!

I am playing in one summer league. Well, it's a spring league, but we've had 4 rainouts, so it may last all summer!

The Monday team will resume in August. That doesn't count an exhibition against the company executives, which I hope will go down at the end of this month. They are playing for pride. We are playing for them to buy us some sweet new threads and pay for the fall league.

Malley · 06-06-2007, 07:49 AM

You are almost done?!?! Thats very wierd to me. I play until December!

Pylon · 06-06-2007, 11:42 AM

That's just one league. All in all, we'll be playing through October, I think.

Malley · 06-06-2007, 11:43 AM

Ahhh...

I never did hear back from the guy at the gym?

Pylon · 06-06-2007, 01:40 PM

I'll say something to him next time I see him.

Malley · 06-06-2007, 01:41 PM

So whats goin on? Anything new? You hit the shit out of the ball for the short lived season you had there!

Pylon · 06-06-2007, 03:16 PM

Well, I got my replacement bat, but now am arguing with Worth/Rawlings about it. They sent me a "No Return" bat, which I think is crap, considering it failed after 3 weeks due to a manufacturing defect. I'm of the opinion that should not count against my "1 return" warranty. (Plus, it makes it a little harder to trade off, you know?)

Other than that, just hoping the weather holds and I can get in a game tomorrow night.

How is your Alton team? Any tourneys near STL coming up?

Pylon · 06-06-2007, 07:10 PM

By the way, I did manage to get the gym today, though I had to cut it short. I skipped the SS of rows and lunges. My knees have been a little unhappy the last couple of days, so I thought it was for the best.

WU - OH squat - 45, 65, 85 x 10

3 sets, 12 reps, 65 s RIs

DB romanian DLs - 75, 80, 100 PR
SS sit ups - +25 x 3

DB incline bench press - 45, 50x2
SS standing calf press - 240, 270x2

DB external rotation - 15s x 3
SS db pullover - 50 x 3

I upped the weights early to make sure the workload was good. Decided to give the 100s a shot on the DLs. Felt good, but not so great on my hands.

DB romanian DL

Brutus_G · 06-06-2007, 07:32 PM

Wow OHS that must be tough to stay upright.

Pylon · 06-06-2007, 08:25 PM

I've done them enough (and the weight is so light) that it really isn't an issue.

Pylon · 06-07-2007, 07:11 AM

I just got back the pics we did over the weekend, and I thought I would share a couple of the boys...
