    Team Management Apps - What do you like?

    I guess I really don't know. I've only been on the receiving end in the past, usually the push notifications, scheduling, contact info, food schedules, etc. I don't really use apps very much. I see the apps I listed seem to be the most popular in the AppStore and Google Play for youth sports...

    Team Management Apps - What do you like?

    I will be coaching a travel team for 2018-2019 that used Team Snap last year. It was OK from a non-admin perspective but not great. It also costs about $9-10 a month. I wondered if anyone has had any success with any of the free apps. I've been on teams that used Shutterfly before as well...

    It is called a mound

    Looks like a mound. 😎

    earned runs

    My DD is a pitcher and we found WHIP through Gamechanger this year. The problem when on a "lesser" team is that it still depends on the fielders. DD would give up a double in the OF that would be a routine FO on most teams. Same thing with grounders when the IF doesn't have the range or arms...

    Better to Find Out now!

    Maybe they saw something else about your coach/team that was a red flag for them and decided to go sooner than later.

    Tryouts While Current Season is Still in Progress

    Maybe it's our area or maybe it's that age but this year seems to have an overabundance of A) Private tryouts long before the organizational tryouts meaning that what looked like 4 openings may be one or two by the time the tryout comes along and B) Coaches just straight up lying to their own...

    Batting out of order vs. unreported substitute

    We played a pool game where opposing team batted 11 the first time through but skipped #11 the second time through and went to the lead off. No one caught it at the time. What would have happened if we had said something during the at bat?

    Anyone else counting down the days til travel?

    For those of us in the north, absolutely. It's really tournament season. The whole tournament season here is about 8-9 weeks and then it's tryout season.

    OK bunt

    I think this sort of stuff is ultimately going to be a problem if it's not already. Folks are used to seeing instant replay in football, hockey, etc. These kinds of calls that are plainly seen by the fan at home and not rectified might lead a new fan to think the NCAA doesn't really care...

    OK bunt

    There's a screenshot from the RF foul pole area of this play. U1 was clearly in position to see it. I don't know how to move it here, but it's in the Mike White thread. Something needs to change. Getting the call right is the only thing that matters.

    OK bunt

    In watching the PU I thought he was so busy making the safe sign to alert everyone it was not a dead ball he forgot to see where the ball was when it was picked up. He did not have a good view of it from where he stepped out to anyways. The Duck catcher was between him and the ball. Maybe he...

    Anyone else having problem with the DFP server?

    If you do a Google search for DFP, the search engine states that the site may be hacked. I get a ton of security warnings from Firefox on it all the time and I also get sent to some browser hijacker to something like filestore72, which I have to go back and forward and then I am in. The host...

    Could use DFP help............

    Right now looks like she is second so needs a few votes!

    Barnhill-Collegiate Player of the year. #usasoftball

    I saw more illegal pitches called in the last 2 weeks at a couple local U-trip tournaments than I've seen all year in NCAA. The girl I saw locally is a pitcher for one of the premier orgs around. I'm sure her coaches know she's not legal, but none of the local umpires are going to call a girl...

    Barnhill-Collegiate Player of the year. #usasoftball

    I posted a couple weeks ago after watching KB in action and understanding what's happening here, I saw my first replanter live. Actually my 14YO DD spotted her. Pitching in a 12U game... no calls. Had I been the opposing coach, I would have asked blue what's up with that. She looked like a...

    Barnhill-Collegiate Player of the year. #usasoftball

    It would be interesting to see a bunch of mid-major pitchers start next spring pitching like KB and see how many of them at No Name U in the Big Little Conference get called for IPs. "Hey Blue, we're just copying the POY from last year"

    Barnhill-Collegiate Player of the year. #usasoftball

    If you ruffle enough feathers, eventually someone in power is going to have to answer. I'd like to see someone, UIC, rules committee chairman, someone with some position of authority in the NCAA to come out and say, "Hey, we know there is a lot of chatter out there the KB isn't legal. We've...

    Friday is always mentally checking in 5/26/17

    Well our 800 AM game was postponed to 1000, then noon, then 115, then 230, now all games cancelled today. Stupid rain.

    Friday is always mentally checking in 5/26/17

    New weekend and a new day for us. We have a local tournament here that is divided into A and B. As a B team, we got thumped pretty badly in pool play two weekends ago in an all class tournament but looked better in our bracket loss to the eventual winner Sunday. 4 pool games tomorrow where we...

    The Kelly Barnhill Thread

    I'd submit that Barnhill thinks it's worth it or why else would she be doing it? Just to drive a bunch of softball junkies nuts for 60 pages of a thread?
