    Fastpitch Foundations PacNW Tour 8/11 & 8/12

    I’ve been out of the DFP world for about a year and am sickened that I missed this event!! However, I was pleasantly surprised last night when my daughter came home and said her club has a new pitching coach who actually teaches I/R like I’ve taught her since she was little. So hats off to...

    catcher throwing to first on dropped third strike

    On a DK3, the orange bag ceases to exist. Both bags become white and F3 declares which bag she wants based on the catcher's instructions (inside/outside).

    Tilted Bat

    Cool, I think you'd like it. It's easy to use once you dial it in. It's easily the most useful hitting aid I have. BTW, is the pitching tool you're waiting for the accraspeed? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Mendoza on ESPN

    Wow nano, I pegged you as DFP's most certain Republican a long time ago. Combine that with the fact you're a Red Sox fan and I can't believe you aren't defending CS! For the record, I love the guy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Tilted Bat

    My DD has been working on bat vertical and attack angle as well. The Zepp has been an invaluable tool in that regard. Her average bat speed has increased 7 mph in the last 5 weeks. Tonight she hit a PR and was pretty excited. I think every serious DFP parent/coach should have a Zepp...

    DP/FLEX question

    In addition to this, it is also handy to have your flex run for your dp. So if your flex isn't a good hitter but is fast, then you can have the dp hit and the flex run. However, doing so takes the dp out of the game and you will have to re-enter her (otherwise the flex continue to bat in the...

    Interesting Events Going Down at the LLSBWS

    LoL. I get it. I don't want to talk about it either. It's just frustrating to me to see a person I know getting shafted and slandered. Like what he did or hate it, the way he and his team have been treated is an injustice. With that, I'll bow out of this one. Sent from my iPhone using...

    Now THAT'S a good question. Too bad there aren't any LL officials to answer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I can only go by what he wrote in his press release. I'm assuming he had respect for the ability of the southeast team and did not want to risk losing a tight game. The only 100% guarantee was to concede the game and not score. That's how I interpret his decision. Sent from my iPhone using...

    No. If West won, they were moving on. If they lost and scored 1 run, they were out. If they lost without scoring a run, they were in. Edit: someone else also mentioned that if they lost but scored 3 or more runs, they would have been in. I had not heard that before and have not verified...

    Fair enough and your thoughts are similar to mine on the "why" no rules were cited and no one was dq'd. It's just a mess, I think we can all agree to that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Interesting Events Going Down at the LLSBWS

    100% factually incorrect. How can you continue to spout this narrative of his intentions (which was wholly fabricated by the Central coach in order to make himself a targeted victim) when Coach Miller has already released a statement explaining his dilemma and decision?? His decision had...

    Provide the proof that he instructed his kids to play poorly. Provide the documentation that shows LL officials citing this rule as the basis for their decision. I haven't seen either to be true. Until then, you are simply reaching. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    NOTE: This policy is not intended to prevent a manager from using lesser-skilled players more frequently if he or she wishes, even if such action may result in losing a game): seems black and white to me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    No, you are ignoring the way the rule is written. It specifically says that if he chooses to play his subs and in so doing loses the game, then the stuff that follows does not apply. If you want to say it does apply, then explain the following: A) Why didn't LL officials cite the rule as...

    Interesting Events Going Down at the LLSBWS

    I would assume the bold print explains it. Your guess is as good as mine regarding how LL officials came to their judgment. I do know their official reason for allowing the play in game was absolute BS, though. ***edit: sorry it did not bold the section, but I'm sure you can see what I'm...

    Actually, I've already stated my position on how I personally would have played it as a coach. So don't let the facts get in the way of your ad hominem rhetoric. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Interesting Events Going Down at the LLSBWS

    That's a good question. I would say no, that is not how I would define sportsmanship. I think there are unsportsmanlike things that are not necessarily against the rules. However, please understand my emphasis here about Fred not breaking any rules is in direct response to the allegation that...

    Interesting Events Going Down at the LLSBWS

    Sorry for not breaking any rules? Sorry for taking advantage of the rules just like the other coaches were doing? Maybe if Central hadn't extended their games by striking out on purpose, he would never have been in that tie breaker scenario. So no, he didn't need to apologize for a damn...
