    Scheduling Etiquette

    Very curious to hear what others think (I think my opinion may be out of touch)... High school game scheduled for tomorrow. Game time temperatures expected in the 30s with 10mph winds. Visiting team is not interested in playing due to the conditions. They were offered Tuesday which is...

    Eeny Meeny

    High school team. Athletic player that will field and play everything at her position. Your options are to position her in Centerfield or First Base. That's all you have to go on... where are you putting her? What's your logic?

    Scheduling an Exhibition

    I'm scheduling a couple exhibitions / friendlies (16U) ... other than paying the umps, providing a field, and balls what might I be overlooking?

    High School Dead Periods

    Anyone ever successfully challenged high school dead periods? I can comprehend not using school funds, school facilities, or school resources during certain times of the year. But the notion that a high school athletic association can enforce what coaches and players involvement is outside of...

    10 'Men' on the Field

    I don't know Stanford or their coaching staff, but I love that they aren't bullied by Oklahoma. It's easy to see that OU gets the benefit of the doubt in almost every situation. Hutch had it right... 10 men on the field.

    Pay to Watch NW Mid State?

    I always get a chuckle when colleges and universities expect you to pay to watch their athletic teams live stream… Alabama - I get it…UCLA - sure. For the rest of the schools that are not well known name brands it seems very short sighted. Athletics are the ‘front porch’ to a school and no one...

    Ditched Mask - You Make The Call

    I watched a bizarre play unfold tonight at a Kentucky high school game. I will preface the scenario by saying that they require a few positions to wear a fielding mask...

    Educate Me !?

    Kentucky - Florida SEC Tournament... 5th inning... no outs... Florida runner on 3rd Ball gets hit to deep left field in foul territory. Kentucky left fielder makes the catch for the first out and throws it home (run scores). Michelle Smith and company proceed to tell the television audience...

    Tendencies

    What are you looking for (in game) to help your batters against the opposing pitchers? I am interested in what coaches or teammates are looking at to gain an edge aside from picking pitches, a recent thread. Help me pull the curtain back to understand if there's a method to the madness.

    Game Day Experience

    With the exception of The Spring Games, I have been amazed at how little is done for the spectator's experience. Take into account I am not talking about Power Five schools. This past weekend's doubleheaders I took in; the only amenity I could see was a clean portapotty. On the bright side...

    University Closing - Season Cancelled

    Anyone else see this?.. https://www.uppermichiganssource.com/2023/03/14/finlandia-board-trustees-vote-dissolve-university-wrap-up-affairs/?outputType=amp Four games into the season they kick the kids to the curb.

    pro-nun-ci-a-tion

    I know it's easy to be a critic. For the second night in a row a top 25 college softball game on FloSoftball and player's names are being said incorrectly. Blows my mind that pronunciation is not referenced prior to going on air.

    Botched Call ? Cal Baptist - UNC

    Watching the Cal Baptist v North Carolina game in Peurto Vallarta... just wanted to confirm that there does not need to be contact for interference? The batted ball was hit at the second baseman. The second baseman charged the batted ball. The runner going from first to second interfered with...

    Teach Coach !

    DD played in an alumni vs current squad game today. The pitching coach 'pulled the string' on a change up against DD to set her down. It's nice to know those doing the coaching aren't that far removed from doing it themselves !

    Dolcini - Texas - Big ball

    I should probably know this... ESPN showed Dolcini with a big ball in her glove... maybe 14" ? What does it work on ? What's the effect ? Thanks.
