    Name and Number on Lineup Card

    Thank you, that is what I figured, and is how we write ours. Our head coach was a D-1 coach and knows the rules as good as any coach I have seen. Now that you have answered my question, what is the penalty? I thought it was an out every time that player comes to bat after the umpire is notified.

    Name and Number on Lineup Card

    LOL, I wasn't really replying to you, your message posted as I was posting a reply. No we absolutely used it as an advantage to us, and I am not really going to defend it. If I had a dime for everything a coach complains about that isn't a rule I could pay for a new Ghost. Same tournament a...

    I am sorry, I thought this was a rules thread not a personal opinion thread. My mistake.

    Name and Number on Lineup Card

    This past weekend at a tournament that was following ASA/USA rules we had a situation where the opposite team's coach forgot to put a girl's number on the lineup card that he gave both us and the umpire. This was in the championship game. At the meeting at the plate the umpire looked over our...

    How much has the game changed in 20 years?

    I had a really good conversation with a college umpire last year that was doing our 12u game in Crowne Point last year. He told me he had umpired Jenny Finch and many other greats in the PAC10 when they were youth age. I asked him how did the girls that he saw at that tournament stack up to...

    Travel Ball is Killing Rec Ball

    Here in the midwest there are 8u travel teams all over. My daughter started travel as an 8 yr old playing 10u. Most of her team was 8 and we got waxed every tournament. The next year we were 9 playing 10u and competed. The next year we were 10 and won at least half the tournaments, which...

    One ump and leaving early

    We play close to 100 games a year. Girls leave early constantly and it rarely gets called with 1,2, and even 3 umpires on the field. If your runner hasn't left as the ball leaves the pitchers hand she is late. It's not cheating if everyone is doing it lol. It takes skill to do it right and...

    Softball Christmas gift for Wife

    A little late in the game but do you have any gift ideas for a wife that spends her summer watching softball? It could be travel related since we have 8 out of town trips this year. She has a good chair and a good bag that she takes her and my son's gear in, and a wagon already. Thanks for...

    Bite your tongue, or coaches coach?

    I don't claim to know everything but I see some bad mechanics taught by coaches, even paid ones. We had a girl just come to our team who's pitching coach was teaching some horrible mechanics. We follow a 14u B team (we are 12u) at our facility and I watch their coach teach their girls horrible...
