Whatever, when I played T-ball I could swing the bat and the ball wouldn't even move.

[–]Foxdude28 67 points68 points ago

Psh, when I played T-ball, I could swing the bat and the bat would end up on the field!

[–]Jayduhb 40 points41 points ago

I would hit the ball stand and run as fast as I could before they could get to the spot it rolled three feet away.

[–]dukec 17 points18 points ago

I got a home run my first time up to bat in t-ball.

I might have gone the wrong way around the bases though...

[–]BecauseScienceSaid 15 points16 points ago

It's ok. If you go the wrong way around the bases 3 more times it counts. That way you still hit all the bases in order.

[–]SmurfRockRune 6 points7 points ago

I actually had to think about that for a second.

[–]BecauseScienceSaid 16 points17 points ago

Actually, I was wrong. You need 3 total, only two more times.

  • First lap: First base.
  • Second lap: Second base.
  • Third lap: Third then home.

I apologize for my error.

[–]BowlerNerd 2 points3 points ago

It's ok. Just don't let it happen again.

[–]34mjf 2 points3 points ago

You did.....when I played T-ball, I would hit the ball and run to third and wonder why people would laugh at me.

[–]AssFromThePast 10 points11 points ago

Yeah ok. When I played T-ball I could swing the tee and the ball would end up in the goal.

I love the second one. Especially the "Did you see that shit?" look on her face at the end.

[–]thejesse 0 points1 point ago

First one reminds me of something that happened to me when I was a little kid. I was running through the neighborhood, and my neighbor was throwing a baseball into one of these. I didn't see him and he didn't see me, and I ran past about five feet in front of it, right as he threw the baseball. It went right in front of me on its way there, and right behind me on the way back.

[–]Great_Chairman_Mao 7 points8 points ago

Imagine if that happened when you were by yourself and there was no camera. No one would ever believe you and you'd have to live with the knowledge that it happened.

[–]JustinATaylor 2 points3 points ago

This, this would be life crushing

Read some posts on that subreddit. It's genuinely eerie and creepy to read about all these "glitches" that supposedly happened to everyday people.

[–]whyyesiAMinterested 7 points8 points ago

dude that's kind of nifty. also i suppose they are changing something in the matrix

[–]i_w8_4_no1 6 points7 points ago

if anyone can calculate the odds of that happening, not only are you super smart but you're also super awesome

[–]BitchesLove 3 points4 points ago

I won't say it can't be calculated, but yuan you even imagine the possible other places that ball could have bounced off of? The spin angles, speeds, etc.

[–]supertasticfool 0 points1 point ago

Angle of bat hitting it + speed of bat pretty much make this retardedly hard, if not impossible by todays methods to calculate. Not even the area the ball hits on the bat, or any other factors.

[–]I_Might_Do_That 1 point2 points ago

I yuan not.

[–]rychan 3 points4 points ago

It's not straightforward to calculate. You'd need to know the range of bat velocities / trajectories and the geometry and material properties of the room. Realistically the easiest way to estimate the probability would be to run lots of forward simulations like this: http://graphics.cs.cmu.edu/projects/mwb/demo/

[–]cornholio12 4 points5 points ago

[–]catdogs_boner 9 points10 points ago

Never tell me the odds!

[–]JayElDeee 2 points3 points ago

Well.. since it is your cake day...

[–]I_play_elin 12 points13 points ago

I'm surprised that no one has questioned whether this could be fake. I'm not getting out my pitchfork yet, but doesn't it look like it could be?

Edit: extra word.

[–]Spikan 2 points3 points ago

I thought it was a string until I saw the ball spin when it lands. It looks pretty legit actually.

[–]000g 5 points6 points ago

I'll shake my pitchfork. That shit's fake Fake FAKE!

[–]SCVNotReady 1 point2 points ago

Could be a simple camera trick. Or a string was tied to the t-ball.

[–]jedadkins 0 points1 point ago

I don’t know how would you fake this? The ball is spinning so no string, there is a net in front of her/him so I don’t think someone threw it, hmmm maybe a camera trick but I am still putting my vote in for real

[–]iGotChubs4You -1 points0 points ago

You know we live in the day of digital editing software, right? Avatar wasn't costumes.

[–]thesoftbulletin 0 points1 point ago

If an actual video clip of this .gif surfaces I think it will be easier to judge. Simultaneously, I feel that this is bullshit and no video will surface.

Haters gonna hate

[–]Pokemonfantasy -2 points-1 points ago

The ball returns to the tee from off camera much more slowly than it leaves the field of view. It looks like someone might have thrown the ball onto the tee from off screen.

[–]immabluedevil 21 points22 points ago

I don't know if you've ever been to a batting cage, but when a ball bounces off a chain link fence like this, it loses a considerable amount of velocity because the fence bends back enough to stop the motion of the ball, and the ball coming back is the force of the fence returning to form, thus throwing the ball. Totally reasonable speed IMHO.

[–]BLANK23 5 points6 points ago

Net not chain link. Indoor

[–]shaftdestroyer 3 points4 points ago

He's hitting into a net though, so it's even more plausible.

[–]battleschooldropout 7 points8 points ago

I think he also has a vagina and no penis.

[–]injaninja 1 point2 points ago

[–]iamaiamscat 1 point2 points ago

Unless that ball is very light there is no way that can be real.

[–]You_Beat_Me_To_It 1 point2 points ago

[–]Melonetta 3 points4 points ago

Life patch 2.1.3:

  • Fixed bug involving laggy baseballs
  • Removed audio and odor from farts during sex
  • Fixed a bug with pre-mature ejaculation where it would happen 99% of the time rather then 0.01%.
  • Removed glitched "swag" debuff from players that would lower their INT for no reason.

[–]Bruneti12 2 points3 points ago

Life is fine, the problem is just those asians that keep hacking it.

[–]DrunkenAwesomeIdea 0 points1 point ago

If I can remember correctly, they used to make spring loaded tee ball attachments so you didn't have to go to a batting cage. I'm guessing there's a cord attached to the ball that winds out of the tee.

[–]N64Fan 0 points1 point ago

Never mind, I couldn't replicate it.

[–]jew_jitsu 1 point2 points ago

I'd like to think that's Ron Swanson in the background, vaguely impressed by the whole thing.

[–]sewerpanda 0 points1 point ago

Someone ask r/science to calculate the odds of this happening.

[–]jedadkins 0 points1 point ago

Well that would be crazy hard you would have to take in to account: spin of the ball, angle the bat hit, elasticity of the bat and fence the ball hit, and countless other things. You would need several super computers and a team of physicists to even come close to figuring this out

[–]hackeysack09 1 point2 points ago

It's amazing how consistently she's able to keep repeating that!

[–]melthornal 1 point2 points ago

I was taking batting practice with my dad one time. We had gone through the bucket and I was throwing back the balls I had missed. Bent over, picked one up, tossed it back at the bucket, bent over, stood up to toss another BALL TO THE FACE. I managed to throw the ball, bounce off the bucket, into the whole on the pitching machine, and then it broke my cheekbone. Fucking hurt. I was like 10 years old.

[–]Poncyhair 0 points1 point ago

I don't believe it.

[–]CauseItsTrue 0 points1 point ago

One of those things where you can try a million times over and never get the same outcome. I once dropped a quarter and it landed on it's edge, it was one of the most exciting moments of my life

I remember T-Ball. I remember the first time the physics of it really came together in my head. I remember working out the angle I needed to get the ball as far as I could.

Although not the most gifted athlete, my brain and my muscles joined forces and I hit that ball right on the button. You had to hit it slightly under the ball. I was aiming for the point where the ball met the T. Also, swinging the bat at a slight upward motion.

I hit the ball over the fence, much further than the teachers anticipated. I'm sure I was chided for being too good. It was the first time I realised that technique will be brute strength. Not always, but a great lesson nonetheless.

[–]wkrausmann 0 points1 point ago

Wasn't this in that Twilight Zone episode where he was able to read minds after he the ball landed back on the tee?

[–]sneezylee 0 points1 point ago

Whats a coincidence. Yesterday while driving away in the golf cart, my beer slid off the back and landed perfectly on its base. The other guys in the group must have thought I was trying it on purpose because that happened to be the second beer that i forgot about. Yeah, Im one of those drunkies.

I used to have a practice t-ball set with an elastic string in the bottom of the ball so you could practice hitting without having to chase the ball. Not to ruin the magic or anything but unless these are really crazy odds, it's probably something similar.
