Can this Happen?
I haven't been on the boards in months, then I jump on for a sec and see this. WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE? Tell her to eat a Snickers or something. I am so irrationally angry with this Mom I don't even know. I have to think that a college coach is going to give very little credence to some Mean...- Me_and_my_big_mouth

DD2's version of the Auburn hop?
She just does it. I think it's a way for her to time her reaction. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk- Me_and_my_big_mouth

Mine plays 3B and has a similar version of pre-movement. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk- Me_and_my_big_mouth

Is it a money grab? Academic achievement games?
I don't personally have experience with this org. DD got an "invite," too. Can tell you that we're happily investing in Headfirst - she's had success getting to interact with many coaches, in a beautifully organized environment. With the difficulty of getting connected early on with the...- Me_and_my_big_mouth

The Good, the bad, and the ugly
Sounds like you have a lot to be proud of. Your DD became a better player right in front of your eyes. That experience will help her mentally, knowing she can go up against pitching like that. And the baserunning error? Well, dang it...I can offer you the following: Game against our rivals last...- Me_and_my_big_mouth

Bush league or not?
We saw the opposite happen quite a bit at 12u. Girls learning to slap start left, get 2 on em, then switch back to right. Haven't seen it like you described in high school - but I guess the batter could dance a jig if they felt like it, just need P to do their job. It's high school - keep the...- Me_and_my_big_mouth

Anyone else counting down the days til travel?
We are lucky folks around here. DD adores her high school coach and the girls she's playing with, and her travel team is also giving her exactly what she needs. She really is surrounded by great people this year. I keep hearing horror stories from other high school families and I just thank my...- Me_and_my_big_mouth

Is this bush league
Well in his defense, they were probably only losing because your DD wasn't presenting the ball, so... Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk- Me_and_my_big_mouth

Advice needed---DD beginning travel ball
Beautifully stated. OP - Just to be clear on the words, "expensive," and "cost lots" - think thousands annually. That's in addition to the thousands you'll spend on "elite" travel just as a fastpitch family. Average at the 12 and 14u levels for us were 12-14k (included pitching lessons, etc.)...- Me_and_my_big_mouth

TB Questions
I learned from an amazing team Mom years ago - always keep a spare loaf of bread, peanut butter, and squeeze (non refrigerated) jelly in the car. Sadly, there will always be kids who didn't bring anything and feel weird about asking or sharing. I have seen entire afternoons made brighter by a...- Me_and_my_big_mouth

Nobody knows what backdoor curve means anymore
I am not as well-versed as you, as my interest in the game is only a couple of years strong by now - but your original definition is exactly as it was explained to me (but smaller words and more pauses were probably necessary). DD pitched a couple years before moving on. Hmmmm, if I can't...- Me_and_my_big_mouth

Let's do a classy Friday Check in 4/28/17
First Spring travel tournament, and still in the middle of HS. Weird that we have both going at the same time, but excited that it isn't raining and I get softball on a Saturday. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk- Me_and_my_big_mouth
