Fish Head Virginia Major

Posted by Softball guy on May 23, 2022, 7:19 am

Fish Head B team played very good over the weekend. Beat 3 conference teams Tru, S&E & West Point. Lost a though game to Anarchy by 8 and Lost to Nitro by a lot but looked tired from what I could tell on the live feed. Was watching on the live feed looks like they don’t play conference just a bunch of local guy? Could someone confirm that?

Someone told me that they have a local bar that sponsors them? The rest they do is fundraisers for the rest of the year?

From watching from afar team looked like they had great chemistry, they had fun and just like to play ball.

Why wouldn’t a bat company or one of the big sponsors get behind this team for the rest of the year?

Congrats to Fish Head for placing 4th place and being the highest finishing conference all season

I watched them all weekend. They have some great equipment, no need for a bat sponsor.

Those fellas play the game the right way... if a manufacturer chose to support them it would be great partnership for them.

@Softball Guy...
Fish Head Cantina is a local bar in MD that sponsors them. They also have 2 or 3 other sponsors... The guys on the team run multiple superbowl block pools, A golf outing, cornhole fundraiser and I think 1 or 2 others.

Clearly you are a Fish Head player. Fish Head has been around for many many years. They try to reclass themselves every year to play lower level and only play in Va and Md. Since they are in a state that will never bump players cause the state director would lose a ton of money, they find players who should be playing up but get away with not. They also pay weekend money to their players as well. They wont join conference B cause they are afraid they will get bumped. They are the same as RDD in NY.

S&E didn't have a pitcher. They picked up a C player to fill in.

@pat your own back... I run a new D team. Matter a fact we were bumped from E last year so idk what you're talking about that Bob and Carol don't bump teams or players. Now I can't speak on the inner workings of the team... But it seems like you're pocket watching pretty hard. Did they not have a roster spot for you? I can just speak to their fundraising efforts as I usually participate in them. But hey what do I know.

My personal opinion is they are a B team just played well and pitched well. All 3 wins were on a field with the wind straight in so they adjusted better to the conditions.

@SoftballGuy thanks for the kind words ! We had a lot of fun this past weekend and picked each other up and clicked well on the field. Missing about 2 of our players during the tourney but kept that train rolling. After being in the sun all day we were definitely drained and tried to push thru as best as we could. This is my first year with Fish Head but I’ve played against them a bunch of times in the past years when I was with TRU. Those group of guys are some ballers fr, Chad always puts together a great team year in and year out. We look forward to keep on with our success as the season goes on! Thanks again DW for the coverage this past weekend and good luck to everybody on their season.

P.S. I can only speak for myself but I am not being paid weekend money to play. I also don’t pocket watch because it is not my business.

I would love to hear why exactly this team would deserve a bat deal considering the majority of their games played have been against teams classed below them. I watched them this weekend and theres nothing special about this team so if their sponsor is just a local bar it should stay that way. If this was a player that posted this well I guess that shows just how shameful the game has gotten.

Fish Head's pitcher's name is Billy Bragg and if he isn't already in his 50's I know he's pushing it. I've played with him for several years and pitching wise, he's one of the best I've ever played with/against. The heat on Saturday was brutal and he sat out the last couple of games due to it still being early in the season not wanting to overdue it and risk injury. With him on the mound, Fish Head will compete in almost any game they play if the offense does their job and gives him some runs. He is a great controller of the game and always gives his team a chance to win. They took advantage of S&E only scoring 9 runs and pulled out the win, were up big on Anarchy but it just slipped away, and then walked off West Point without Bragg on the mound. I've played for Fish Head a couple times in the past and they are a class act. The core group has been together for several years, always welcoming new guys in when they are brought on and enjoy playing the game and competing. I'm always rooting for them and they always are a tough team to beat in my opinion.
