    Avoiding A Collision

    Ok, I am sure at soem point, this was probably discussed on here. I did look some but didnt see a thread on it, so I figured I would ask. What is the rule for avoiding a collision when there is a play at home plate? I imagine it is the same for a play at any plate that isnt a force out. My...

    Ball In the Dirt Before Home Plate, What Is The Call?

    Ok, at work today, we were talking about a couple things, and discussing what we thought the calls would be. First was, If a pitcher walks a batter and eventually she scores, does the batter get charged with a earned run? I said I think she does get charged with a earned run, UNLESS the runner...

    Help Scoring This Play

    Tonight my daughter hit a nice line drive through the right center field gap,that rolled to the fence. The center field got it, and threw it to the 2nd baseman. Meanwhile, our coach had her try to stretch it to 3rd. Their 2nd baseman threw to 3rd and she was called out. I think she was safe...

    Vinci JCV-22 Catchers Mitt

    I ordered a new Vinci JCV-22 catchers mitt from Casey last week Monday (3-26) and it was delivered to my house on Thursday, 3-29. When I took it out of the box, it was plenty stiff as to be expected from a catchers mitt. I fully understand that a catchers mitt will take longer to break in than...

    Hitting Low & Inside Pitches

    My daughter has been getting alot of inside and low inside pitches the last few games. The main reason is because she has been crowding the plate alot. The last 2 games, not only does she crowd the plate, but has a closed stance, which makes hitting those pitches even harder. I told her why...

    I am looking for ideas to control water flow onto our softball diamond. It has been in this spot for as many years as I can remember and then some. It sits along a city street, but down below the street. The bleachers are built into the side of that bank. There is a bank or hill along the...
