I will clarify. retreating is taught, not for the benefit of trying to avoid the out at all. Not what I was trying to convey......it is being taught as i stated to ensure the runner scores, simply. I didn't expand on "retreat", but maybe I should have.....If you have hit a ground ball to...
I wonder if the runner has been taught to retreat towards home in that situation? (dont get tagged) of course i am assuming the run actually means something.
eta: I better clarify ... "that situation" = a 1B coming at them down line with ball and run needs to score.
I can make points without having to make comments about someone, and i can have a discussion without insults. It truly is amazing.
Did the runner go to the right at contact? That's all I ask????? if yes, then I believe the runner didn't want to plow into someone.
I also dont think the...
i love both sides of a story. all i can do is watch the video and piece it together.
Let me start by saying this so my words don't get changed, IF it was intentional then yes, it is a shame and coach and anyone who intentionally does this will have their day.... somewhere.
Now, lets go to...
Several knew on the 11th the job was open. It's a pretty close timeline here. Not trying to "counter", just laying some timeline out there. Not sure of the exact time of departure from Stanford and LSU respectively, but I bet pretty darn close. Regardless of when I was notified, I still...
THIS.
Recruiting, I don't think will be an issue. Rachel and Dorian have done a fine job, especially with 2017's coming in (Pitching and Speed to start with). Jessica, as always, will be ahead of every coach in the game when it comes to measurable metrics and data.
Her parents are in...
Sadly the "Everyone watches and agrees" you mention is missing some people in my experience, it's the people who actually matter. The NCAA for starters, then umpires. All the people you reference in your "everyone" sentence don't matter and they are not the ones who make the rules. The people...
You don't get to tell someone "I didnt reply" and then in your next reply tell me "You forgot you replied", then tell someone, "sorry, all I wanted was the answer".
That is trolling or just complete ignorance in how to communicate with someone when YOU need an answer. I'm done with you too.
I disagree this that this is an argument, let alone an argument that that cant be won or lost. disagree 100%. I asked the pitchers daddy to STOP calling amateurs cheats as girls have been doing this a long time, been taught a long time AND see the BEST in the world on TV doing it for YEARS...
You IMPLIED I didnt reply, to which I was sure I did. So as a grown man, I swiftly replied to give you info i wasnt hiding. I didnt take the time it takes to go LOOK to see my original reply until after I got home. You sure took the time to advise everyone YOU DIDNT GET A REPLY BS> Oh I...
This cr@p spools me up....
FastpitchCat. You indeed did get a reply!!!! I sure thought I had replied. Let me help you find it. It is the F'N reply right below your original F'N question. RIGHT BELOW Unbelievable. Oddly enough, it's the same answer I just re-typed when I felt bad you...
I agree with everything you say, when i slowly read it one sentence at a time. Except these 3 sentences:
" It is enabling such as this that give rise to cheats like Barnhill."
I have nothing nice to say here.
"If she had not been enabled her whole career we would not be having this...
Yes, You got it. While I said taught, i was only implying studs are shown this. I had to re-state that after it was interpreted that i was saying there were pitching coaches who teach nothing but this. Fair that it got lost. Not what I intended. I tried not to be shy about the information...
Yes, I agree. No argument from me. I have no problem hearing this. I sat for well over a year before I finally decided to engage and trust me, I knew it wasn't going to go over well. I sure as heck didn't jump in this if I wasn't prepared with what I had to say.
I have no problem admitting...
Not playing your game as I know if I say yes you are going to come right back with Barnhill confided in you all of the above when she was in middle school. You have said it before :)
(not my first time in your rodeo, just the first time I've addressed you) If someone does something/anything...
Ahhh yes, everyone else does it. Doesn;t work in the court of law, BUT it does work and has been practiced for a lot of years in sports. Long before softball came to be.
This has been going on for years in Softball (dating back to PRE 2011) Their peers do it, their idols do it, we have...
