    Weekend Dilemma/Bad Situation

    My HS baseball coach was like that... always teasing and running you down. My Legion coach was the exact opposite... always positive. I did much better in Legion... it seemed like that was the HS coach's way to 'get to you' and make you perform to show him wrong. Maybe it worked on some guys...

    Help with Daughter's Swing

    Maybe just a more aggressive approach... swinging more. I have problems with my better hitters (10U also) swinging late... like they decided if it was a ball or strike too late. One drill is to watch pitches all the way to the backstop even when not swinging.

    Help me with this swing!

    Looks good to me too... maybe get the bat further back originally.

    embarrassing championship game

    For sure... that ball needed to be caught out in front of home plate and she wouldn't have had to mix it up with Haegar.

    Florida 10, Arizona 0

    They didn't play like the greatest of all time but congrats just the same for the back-to-backs. Their pitcher/hitter star sort of carried them thru.

    embarrassing championship game

    I think it is more trying to get hit than trying to reach the outside pitches... but you are right.

    embarrassing championship game

    Yeah, I think a couple of hit batters were definately on purpose... for both teams. I might have been tempted to put the game 1 starter in for a bit if I was Florida... but she held on. I didn't think either defense played well... especially the Fla SS. I felt she could have made a couple more...

    My First Ejection

    I had the same experienced (warned next word would be tossed) when the ump said he had seen chalk fly up when the ball hit the leftfield chalk line. I calmly told him I didn't think that was possible since the outfield lines were painted. He took it about the same way as the ump in the original...

    Curt Schilling - really????

    Maybe he was listening. Plus... the dude needs to make some money.

    Are there any coaches who don't claim to be aggressive at base running?

    Exactly... I guess PP doesn't realize the catcher has to throw the ball accurately back to the pitcher and the pitcher has to catch it. Our league is a beginners 10U rec league and they struggle with the basics. I like to teach them correct baserunning too and since that stuff doesn't work in...

    New Coach Seeking Advice

    Sounds like you are doing fine... especially if you have a solid, reliable 11.

    Wcws

    Funny, but I was wondering why she was hitting too. My option would have been to put a better hitter in her spot. Ended up fine tho.
