    Catchers gear set

    I just returned a Jen Schro chest protector this evening to Dick’s. I ordered it online for my 14 yo dd. It was nowhere near wide enough in the chest, so you might want to keep that in mind. We were disappointed because I had some neat features. I think we’re going to try an All Star next.

    Catchers’ Chest Protector Help

    My 14 yo dd has outgrown her Easton Prowess intermediate chest protector in length. Since they don’t make the Prowess line anymore, I ordered her the Jen Schro in a medium. It was a good length (16”) but is way too narrow in the chest. The kid hates it, so it’s going back. I’m looking for...

    More ULL Issues

    I saw this pop up on Facebook. Nine former players have filed Title IX complaints. https://katc.com/news/2018/09/14/former-ragin-cajuns-softball-players-allege-racism-sexual-harassment-in-title-ix-complaints/ Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Perfect Circle, etc. MIA

    She’s still around because she DM’d me with a disagreement about a post I made. I didn’t reply [emoji87] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Temps 90+ = Catcher’s Appreciation Weekend

    Dd12’s HC rotates her and another player between C and 3B on hot days which is pretty much March-October here in southeast Texas. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Indian or arrow?

    This month, I discovered that it’s the arrow according to dd12. She has a USSSA Ghost 33/23. She used it at the Texas USSSA and USFA tournaments and batted .600 at both. Last week at the Jennie Finch tournament, they said the USSSA version was illegal, so she had to use her 33/23 Xeno - hello...

    The dreaded "F" word

    Our biggest fundraiser with the lowest actual work has been a liquor basket raffle. Each set of parents (per player) provides a 750 ml + size bottle of branded liquor. Tickets are $5 or 5/$20. We made $3,000 a couple of months ago. This one relied strictly on parents selling though. We decided...

    Grades and travel ball

    [emoji115]This!! As a teacher and a parent, I see how much time kids waste on their phones. It’s truly an addiction for some people. They work for five minutes then play on their phones for 30. If I want my kids to focus on anything like homework or cleaning, I take the phone away until it’s...

    Starting New TB Team - What Circuits and What Age Level?

    USFA has the 11u classification, but I’ve yet to see a tournament with just that age group. Dd is on an all 06 team. We played fall in 12u and took our lumps (and keep on taking them, lol). Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Barnhill

    It doesn’t appear she throws 70 from 43’. When I’ve watched her pitch after being called for IP, she gets it to 65 max. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    2018 Easton Ghost

    Rookie question: I’m putting a lizard skin wrap on dd’s Ghost. Do I need to remove the old one? Her hitting coach said the original is about thin enough to put the new one over it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Cool Catcher

    That goes along with some of the less than stellar reviews on Amazon. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Things College Softball Announcers Can Quit Saying

    Does anyone else feel like the ESPN announcers are overly in love with Florida? It’s almost on the same scale as Joe Buck’s infatuation with Aaron Rodgers. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Cool Catcher

    Please forgive my bumping up of an old thread. I’m thinking about getting this for dd11. We live in SE Texas, and it gets brutal down here. Has anyone used it, and liked it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    This last weekend’s tournament had action photographers. This is my favorite of her catching. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Things College Softball Announcers Can Quit Saying

    I love, Love, LOVE the SEC. However, I’m tired of hearing, “Every series is like a mini-super regional.” every single game. Yes, it’s a very tough conference. Come up with a different way to say it, please. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Spring weather

    Dd11’s team has played 2 of the 5 scheduled tournaments so far this season. One of the ones they played misted ALL day Saturday with temps in the 40s. We’re in southeast Texas, so we should already be complaining about how hot it is. We only have six more scheduled, and we’re done until fall...
