    Sleeve color pitchers?

    USA: 3-6-C UNDERSHIRTS: Players may wear a solid-colored undershirt. It is not mandatory that all players wear an undershirt, but if more than one player wears one, they must be like in color and style. No player may wear ragged, frayed or slit sleeves on exposed undershirts. Supplement 41 A...

    First PGF, What to expect.....

    A kid I coached (and who will be on our HS team next year) is on the RITG team. Of course, the coach's DD goes to our rival HS next year. That guy has had 3 stud DD's who wreak havoc on us.

    College Roster Sizes, sorry some of you don't get to go with us~

    The roster doesn't "need" to be that large, but having those players definitely helps: Practice - you always have runners, players to fill out numbers for drills, set up / tear down, catch bullpens, shag, have enough for same squad scrimmages, etc. Home games - there's a bunch of things to get...

    HS Softball Started

    CT here. Pitchers and catchers report today. Full team tryouts start Monday. Defending conference champs and state semi-finalist, but lost our ace to graduation (pitching at a very good D3). New ace is very good though, and the lineup is full of returning bats, so should be another good...

    What to do about pitching line up? (8u rec)

    It’s 8u rec with coach relief, so there’s only one thing to remember - WINNING MATTERS. Have the ace get used to pitching with a wig on, something the contrasts her natural hair color. When the games start to count, pitch her max innings with the wig, then close out the games without the wig...

    HS Softball Started

    Wow. In CT season starts mid March. We squeeze the 20 games in a month and a half (3/30 to 5/13), then conference playoffs, then state playoffs, all wrapped by early June. So last year, 26 games total, plus 2 scrims.

    HS Softball Started

    Varsity has already played 20 games (or is that a sum of all 3 teams)? Our entire regular season is only 20 games.

    How much is too much: Rain and game management

    Speculating here, but I'm guessing he was operating without certainty about whether they would be able to re-start if they suspended play (i.e. is the rain going to continue, and if so will the game ultimately be called). If they couldn't continue, score reverts to last complete inning, and...

    Covid extra year eligibility

    My nephew is a senior at Columbia - there have been a few guys who have moved on to play year 5 at another school. There's a school that has been in contact with him about another year if he choses to go that route.

    What’s it like playing in a dome?

    The pic in post 6 above is Danbury. It's "fine" in that it's big enough for 2 pretty full size fields. They aren't the nicest fields as it's a multi-sport set up, and the lighting could be better, and if you're on the 3rd base side of one of the fields you will lose your hearing and have dry...

    What’s it like playing in a dome?

    Another dome, I like this one better. But they are all different. For all their faults, it’s a way to see live action on the winter…

    What’s it like playing in a dome?

    One example of a dome. Not a big fan of this place, but super local and hosts the high school winter league.

    Ramping back up after a break

    This is especially true if the game is in a dome, and the dome is a multi sport thing, that's basically a lined rectangle. These set ups tend to be all screwy, with bad lighting, bad backdrop, a net on top of your back, a non-permanent plate (that can move), no batters boxes for reference...

    A thread for the umps...what would you do’s, oddball plays, war stories

    So I had blocked today off to finally watch my DD this fall. The scheduled ump didn’t show, so I had to be pulled out of the stands so the game could go on. Was a cool moment for me (she wasn’t thrilled…today anyway - someday she’ll look back and laugh). Didn’t have to call a strike 3 (thank...
