Look it up....it's called the daddy rule...if I think my DD or even my DS is hurt bad enough, I as the dad will run on the field. I've been at games/court that my kids have been 'hurt' but, not so bad that they needed me. Believe me I don't baby my kids..as I wasn't babied. It's a game....I'll stop there before my rant. As a parent do what you want or not I don't care but, I will agree with stopping the play if a kid is injured at anytime. I'm out of this 'tough man thread'.
Good proof to wear a mask, Pitchers

As a first base coach I might tell the batter to run to first. Not to make sure she is safe, but to consul her. The batter might be a little shaken. You have to let the batter know Its not her fault. When I see my DD batting against a pitcher who isnt wearing a mask I get a little nervous. Ive had some balls hit back at the L screen so fast I wasnt able to get my glove up.
I think I am gonna barf.

See thats what im talking about. Some people can hit a ball of someones face and then go have a sandwich. Someone else might hit that same ball and want to barf.

Why are you throwing overhand to your girls? And why would you get nervous?? In a weekend of tournaments you will see upwards around 30,000 pitches, give or take. How often do you actually see a pitcher or if corner get hit??? The likelyhood of a pitcher getting hit is minuscule. I am not detracting anyone from wearing a mask. But when I go to the ballpark the first thing that goes through my mind is not "oh no the pitcher isn't wearing a mask".

On another note, I like matching the ads that are on the posts to the posters. Ian, you are looking for a trashy 40+ year old woman and Rdbass, there is cream for those dark spots on your face. Haha

I have a mail in rebate to save $80 on Pittsburgh paints! How do they know I have been painting???
Did you mention it in an email or social media? Google trolls all of them to determine which ads to spam.

Sorry you got confused. In baseball they throw overhand. So when Im coaching a baseball team (girls and boys) I throw overhand. Savy? Pro-tip: you can turn the L screen around use the other side for underhand.
Edit: I get nervous because I work with my daughter on driving the outside pitch up the middle. Which she does frequently(love the L screens) Ill throw her one up and in and then Ill try to hit the outside corner. Would it be wrong of me to tell my daughter " if they come high and tight to you and try to knock you off the plate, look for the next pitch to be outer half, drive that pitch right back where it came from. If that pitcher likes chin music let her listen to it."
