    Its raining helmets!

    DD just finished her first HS softball season and while they put her at 3rd base instead of playing as a catcher I got to observe a lot of other catchers this year and all I can say is ,"Its raining helmets". Seriously , every play where the catcher is moving they are flinging that thing...

    Heater in the Dugout ... Yeah or Nay ?

    Heater in the Dugout ... Yay or Nay ? We played in a "Friendly" 12U/14U tournament this weekend and had 5 one hour games starting at 9AM and ending at 5PM . The temperature when we started was 21 degrees and rose to 43 degrees with light winds all day . I brought a propane heater and sat it...

    Little League Catchers helmets

    Just sitting here watching the LL World Series and noticed that both the catchers have throat guards attached to their helmets even though they are the hockey style . Is the throat guard a requirement in LL ?

    Finally beating that "One" team

    In our case there are actually 2 or 3 of them but this is one of the ones we had just not been able to beat all year . Our girls were starting to get a few snide comments from a few of their girls who were feeling pretty cocky . Well today was the day we got to send them packing while we move on...

    Tips for seeing the ball

    My DD has been working on her batting for the last year and is hitting the ball extremely well when she hits it . She is a catcher and as such she sees a lot of pitches from behind the plate and is proficient at knowing when they are strikes or balls . The problem arises when she is in the...

    Cuico tossed for 3 games but Hoagland plays on ?

    Really ? Hoagland intentionally interferes with the catcher while 2 runners advance which was not only intentional but malicious as well but Cuico gets ejected and a 2 game suspension for pushing her forearm against the Texas catcher ? Seems a bit lopsided to me .

    Identifying Bats in the Super Regionals

    I am a gear hound and Love to see what the girls at the highest levels are using . While watching the Super regionals and other recent games leading up to them I keep seeing bats that I cannot recognize and that Google can't find either . I am seeing a Louisville Slugger One X that Hofstra is...

    Off to get the MRI results

    My DD had a collision with the second baseman at her first tournament this year . Pop fly to the edge of the infield and she was coming in from center and the second baseman was coming in as well . Neither girl was calling the ball and they got tangled up . Next thing I know she is laying on the...

    DD's first home run

    My Daughter has played since T-ball and is now at the 12U level . Today she uncorked on one down the right field line and pretty much had a triple nailed down when the ball was overthrown to 3rd and she made it all the way home . It may not have been an over the fence HR (that wasn't gonna...

    Boise Blast Tournament

    Anyone else going to the Boise Blast Tournament this weekend ? They had to move it out to Nampa as Boise Parks and Rec. jacked the price of the fields way up but it should be a good tournament . Hopefully the Weather forecasters are right and it will be high 60's low 70's .

    Would you want to know ?

    Just curious if as a head coach you would want to know that one of your assistant coaches , whose DD is playing on the team , has her trying out for other teams ? I am not 100% sure what is going on but I do know there has been some disagreements between this coach and our head coach so the HC...

    Fast Hands ??

    So I have had several coaches come up to me while my DD was in the cage or hitting off a tee and comment on how she has "Fast Hands" . It sounds like a compliment but I will be darned if I know what the heck it means and why it is supposed to be good ?

    Catchers Helmets ?

    Just brought the teams catcher equipment home so my DD could practice with it at home and it may be a bit of a mistake . The Helmet is an Wilson A3067 and my DD likes the way it fits but it is "GROSS!!" inside . She doesn't seem to care much but one of the few things that bothers me is nasty old...
