Doctor used her hamstring to secure the kneecap and also cut some shin bone for alignment purposes. Typical recovery time is 6-8 months. The surgery was last December, so we just passed the 3 month point. She's doing great in physical therapy. We are not wanting to rush back as worst case...
I don't lose it over players - they are what make the game enjoyable. It's the coaches who act like they are the reason the game exists who get to me. We were at a showcase not too long ago, no standings, no trophies, last game of the night and no college coaches around - and the opposing...
Sorry to hear, hope everything goes well and there's a speedy recovery. My DD is going to be out the next 7-8 months after knee surgery. Going to do everything we can to make sure she's ready for school ball in the fall. She's heartbroken about missing spring/summer with her TB team.
Typically the first inning of the day. They have enough pitchers in TB that they'll split starting games on any given day. She has come in for relief from time-to-time and will do well.
DD (16U) tends to be tentative when starting a game out. Once she gets past the first inning she settles in and can do very well. Obviously, she's facing the top of the order, but will usually do better against them the second time around. Any thoughts on getting out of the gate strong?
MoneyBall goes with OBP and probably QAB - but if my DD is hitting well she is swinging early and often. When she is passive and taking too many pitches, her QABs increase but not her batting avg. or necessarily her OBP.

School ball: Practices start mid-July or so, state championships around mid-October
Competitive: Spring - early tourneys will try to schedule late Feb (weather sketchy), seasons wrap up in July
Fall - depending upon age will start around 1st of Sept...
and barrel ending up at angle below ball, lots of pop ups and/or weak hits. Is this addressed in another thread and I'm not looking at the terminology correctly? Drills to help?
No runners on, batter hits a soft liner between pitcher and 2B. Second basemen comes up and makes diving catch. Plate umpire calls out, runner has ran the play out to first base and comes back and stands on first. Second basemen didn't throw to first because of out call. Plate umpire again...
