    National Merit Semifinalist

    Dd received a pretty cool letter today from the National Merit Scholarship Corporation, informing her that she has been named a national merit semifinalist based on last year's PSAT. Letter said to keep it quiet until Sept 14 but, what the heck, this is an anonymous board so I figured why not...

    Are club teams required to play in a league in your area?

    In Minnesota, if you want to play in the ASA state tournament qualifier or the state tournament itself, or if you want to play any type of ASA national tournament, you must play a minimum of 6 league games during the season. When we lived in Ohio, league games were for rec teams or very low...

    South Dakota Renegades 16U - final 4 at PGF Premier

    Or at least they are now one of only four unbeaten teams. Too funny that Flosoftball keeps referring to them as the "San Diego" Renegades. Sorry, Flo, we know about your left coast bias by these girls are from South Dakota!! When we lived in Sioux Falls, dd used to train with these girls and...

    Congrats Firecrackers Rico

    18U PGF champs. The empire strikes back. Shame, though, that the Firecrackers pitcher wears a mask. Probably ruined her chances of being recruited.

    casting hands issue

    Already got some help via pm but thought I'd ask the rest of you gurus if there any good tools (Insider Bat or whatever that thing is called) or drills to use when one's primary swing flaw is casting the hands? When dd's swing goes south, she leads with the hands, her arms extend prior to...

    USA Elite Select tourney on cable tv right now

    Was just flipping thru the channels and lo and behold there is the USA Elite select tournament on the CBS Sports network. Texas Glory v. OC Batbusters. Weird to see it on tv and know that my dd is in the same tournament.

    thanks coresoftball!!

    I got a phone call Monday night from a parent who's dd is probably the best hitter on dd's club team. Big tournament this weekend, and his dd had just broken her last bat. Did I know anyone who sells bats? His usual contact wasn't getting back to him. He needed a specific bat that had to...

    Bat legality question

    DD has been playing ball for a while and she has never had a "bat issue." That changed over the weekend. She's in the middle of her high school season and her primary bat has been checked before every game. For the first 6 games there were no problems. Then she played in a three game high...

    Well... was at the ball fields ALL DAY today in cold and windy conditions (had to spend a few hours collecting gate fees to fulfill my volunteer hours which made the day REALLY long). Anyway, got home and thought about posting this brag thread... and then I started surfing the internet, noticed...

    29dad v. laker - game on tonight!!

    Bragging rights are on the line. 29dad's dd takes on laker's dd tonight in an epic battle to see which team can avoid the cellar in the conference standings. Vegas has established laker's dd's team as a slight favorite due to the pitching advantage, but momentum seems to be on 29dad's dd's...

    Fs 2015 lxt 34/26

    DD used it for a month at the beginning of last year and then switched back to her Xeno. This bat spent last summer buried in her bat bag as a backup but was demoted to the basement when she got a new bat for Christmas. Obviously at 34/26 this is for strong hitters only. Can text you photos...

    Kentucky shortstop Christian Stokes

    With watch espn and the SEC network I've been able to see several of Kentucky's games this year. I particularly enjoy the stand alone SEC game of the week on Monday nights. Kentucky just shut out LSU for the third straight game. Kentucky's pitchers will get most of the credit (and rightly...

    swing for the fences!

    A thousand apologies if this article has already been discussed, but I just read it and was curious to get your thoughts/opinions. The title of the article is "why baseball player development is on the decline, and why very few realize it" by Brian Hamm. Saw it posted on another forum by...

    MN Coach Allister article

    Cool article regarding coach Allister and how she ended up in Minnesota. Curious if today's Gopher home opener will be postponed due to snow... Jessica Allister helped dig Gophers softball out of a hole A World Series berth is no longer a dream for the Gophers' softball team, it's a goal...
