    Which bat for DD - no not that kind of thread

    if your stealth is cracked, easton has re-released it for a limited time. saw them at a bat booth this weekend in ohio. $300.00. Which is better then the $600 i paid on ebay because they "retired" it.

    Why baseball is losing children

    I live on the east side of Cincinnati. The Knothole league my son played in is dying fast. They've started their own tb organization. So now they are both; tb and rec. It seems to be doing well. The fields are filled with games again. Another Knothole league, down the road, has made itself the...

    Friday Check In Time redux

    We're pretty stoked, about a week till the summer team starts trickling in from hs ball and practicing together for the memorial day kick off to our summer season. We are extremely excited since our team has 2 of the top 5 pitchers in the city (Cincinnati) and they're only Freshman.

    Estimating cost of used bats

    Just be careful. I paid 180.00 for a (1) used Easton Stealth off Ebay. It's already broke. This after about 3 months of hitting lessons and 1 tourney. could have used the 180 to put towards a new Stealth still in the wrapper for 600.00. At least then I would have around the price for a new Mako.

    Amanda Sanchez playing with her eye taped open.

    I just got my hands on a 2015 survey, of which about 50 Div1 coaches responded to the question "Would you activley recruit a player that wears a face mask"?. It's odd, around 75% said they would but when you read the "explain your answer" section... most said it had to be a stud pitcher that was...

    Does it ever just amaze you?

    They may have been as passionate, but there were far fewer then. I rode my bike to my games and alot of kids parents never came to the games.

    Should we start a Proud Parent Brag Post Forum?

    all in; i really enjoy reading others. at the same time sometimes i feel for me to do so, some how feels, wrong place; wrong time. if we had a thread encouraging it.... that would be nice.

    Middle School girls playing High School ball...

    one of our pitchers is from KY. She's been pitching h.s. since 7th. Tell you what, she's a heck of a talent and the adversity of facing the older girls doesn't phase her one bit. As cool as the other side of the pillow (in honor of Stuart Scott; RIP)

    So...are you still happy with your TB Team?

    We are extremely happy with our team. My dd is playing the spring schedule with a different team because most of her's is playing h.s. ball. Worked out perfect (rarely does). The only 14 yr old on their team is the ss and she's playing with her hs so my dd is taking her place till she comes...

    Bat of Choice

    In Ohio I see it pretty even between Demarini and Easton. Maybe slight edge to Demarini. I still buy Easton Stealth's for my dd. Usually pay a ridiculous amount for used on ebay. Then a couple weeks ago I found someone selling new, still in plastic. Had to take out a small loan for that one...

    Indianapolis Sports Zone

    We played there last weekend. Depending on your age group, it can be an extremely hard schedule. We played (14U) at 330am and 440am for pool play. Bracket play games (for us) were 1010pm, 1200am, 200am, and championship game at 400am. Girls and parents were totally shot come 530 (when the games...

    How much do you spend on equipment, fees, exposure tournaments, and camp a year?

    I can tell you I had a softball only account that started with 5,000.00. I was drained with 2 weeks remaining. The last two were 2 hr drives and since the account was drained, we drove back and forth every night. Probably an additional 3-4 hundred (gas, food ect).
