    Are New Balls Slick?

    Just what we need...umpires smelling the softballs, or worse, taste testing for food-related foreign substances.

    Skull Sessions

    Don't know if anyone has tried it, I have gotten teaser e-mails for inmotionplaybooks.com, seemed interesting and may be good for presenting to your kids. I believe it is a monthly subscription, not too bad cost-wise if it gets results.

    New Coach, advice appreciated

    I'll admit it, I'm still confused about the pockets thing.

    Less than a superstar at teaching pitching

    On par with so many other sports; the greatest players rarely go on to be the greatest coaches.

    Drop Dead question

    Nothing says "romantic encounter" like an air horn. :)

    The Saga of Rebuilding a School Program: A parent-coach's journal

    Funny how that goes, got the same thing here. One of our best hitters slumping bad for a few games, then wakes up one game and hits for the cycle.

    Earned run question

    Not an expert, IMHO assuming R2 got on with a hit, walk, or hbp, that runner is charged to P. Runner who reached on FC not charged to P. The argument of out of the inning if they had made the right choice (in hindsight) not the same as making an error.

    Things College Softball Announcers Can Quit Saying 2022 Edition

    I would think they're required, but I still like the "old days" when rbi's was plural. Not rbi as plural. I don't care about grammatical accuracy on this one. Nothing wrong with knocking in a couple of "ribbies".

    Continuing Education - Umpire Evaluation

    Wouldn't you just love at that point to catch an umpire wearing, say, the wrong color shirt for an NCAA uniform and tell him he has to take it off to umpire the game.

    Player safety when injured

    At the concession stand of our tournament, I always have the helpers save the first few empty hamburger bun bags, inevitably someone will come asking for ice.

    Player safety when injured

    Just my experience, but pretty much all the games I've been to there's been at least one, if not three or four medically trained parents who step in to help with an injury. Apparently LE's game didn't.

    Player safety when injured

    I'll bet a couple of masks were ordered soon after that incident by others who didn't have one yet.

    Two calls from last night:

    "...gave up her right to the plate..." Whether it's verbatim or paraphrasing, I've never heard an argument like that before. What runner would ever want to give up their right to the plate? Sounds like making stuff up and digging one's heels into it.

    DEFENSE

    I had it recorded and rewatched the play a few times. With all the time and commotion spent on instant replays and umpires review trying to figure out what may or may not have happened, it wasn't until I showed my DD the play she mentioned the batted ball appears to contact the catcher and the...

    NAIA ruling on Transgender athletes

    Back up the clock. For every decade you go back girls and women had fewer and fewer sports opportunities. So much progress has been made to provide opportunities for females. Ask yourself, does allowing males who identify to play women's sports provide more opportunities for females or does it...

    NAIA ruling on Transgender athletes

    I common argument I hear is not excluding these athletes from playing sports. But in so many of the highly publicized cases the sport has male and female divisions. Swimming, basketball, weightlifting, track and field, all have men's and women's divisions. No one is being denied the...

    NAIA ruling on Transgender athletes

    Another rabbit hole for your thoughts: What if a male player wants to play on your team that doesn't cut players?

    NAIA ruling on Transgender athletes

    It really is something to think about if you're a coach, say at the HS or college level where the trans player could be basically a fully grown male. Consider the sh__storm that would fall upon you, your family, your team, and your school depending on your response. Would you honestly play it...
