    Thank you DFP, and I could use afavor!

    Twitter War! I think you'll get more traction if the company gets mud on its face. it's too easy to ignore emails *(IMHO). #coresoftball

    both DDs have season ending tournaments this weekend. another rock-paper-scissors battle with DW to see who goes where. oldest DD had tryouts all week. leaving her current team to join a showcase team. it's been a rough week.

    Should I Be Done With Softball?

    I think your next conversation should be with your coach. He may be very surprised to hear that he is having that affect on you or he may not. But you will know exactly where he stands and I think that will make your decision easier. Good luck to you, you are a very thoughtful person.

    as seen on the diamond yesferday

    this EXACT thing happened on DD's team this past weekend. Our runner on second broke for 3rd right away. She had to jump over the grounder that was hit to SS. there was no hesitation, but the leap was exactly in front of the SS. SS bobbles the ball and makes a late throw to 1B. PU called...

    Moment

    not the highest, but the proudest for me: first year 10U, my DD is the catcher, she was only 8. Playing in our home town tourney against a neighboring town. One of their batters threw her bat into my DD after a hard foul. this shook my DD up a little bit so Blue gave her a minute to collect...

    14U DD swing. Any input appreciated.

    during her game last sunday off of an adequate pitcher, grounded out to 2nd but then hit a nice frozen rope gapper to left-center for a double.

    14U DD swing. Any input appreciated.

    too funny. i knew someone would pick up on her-i tried to leave her out of the video unsuccessfully. She is a lefty that was fooling around swinging righty while waiting to hit at practice.

    14U DD swing. Any input appreciated.

    thanks for your insight, shawn. i'm really trying to take all of it in. she just started (july/aug) to start hitting hard liners to SS. sometimes over their heads, sometimes on the ground. her miss is right field it seems. that might be the type of pitch or her swing, I don't feel like I...

    14U DD swing. Any input appreciated.

    I will def try tomorrow night. she has fall ball practice, so she will at least get some front toss, maybe live pitching. thanks tj...

    14U DD swing. Any input appreciated.

    thanks for the reply PC. i tend to think that if she had more "attack" in her swing, that her forward momentum would surely get her back foot on the toe at least. I think i've preached "weight-back" for so long that she resists getting on her front side.

    14U DD swing. Any input appreciated.

    thank you mann. i will definitely get her doing those drills. before this year she hit soft fly balls to right, almost consistently. I think she was letting the barrel get past her hands too soon because since we've been working on square-at-impact drills, she's been hitting the ball hard to...
