    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...

    DD gave up her first career OTF HR this weekend :(

    First outdoor tournament of the season for us moving up to 14U. First game. Walked batter 1, 2 reached on an error by 2B and 3 launched a 1-2 pitch over the RC fence. Thing is it was a good pitch, low and outside corner, and the girl just went with the pitch and was able to barrel it up. It...

    Private Lessons

    Can a college coach offer private lessons to kids? Maybe not high school age? DD is wrapping up 8th grade and a local D3 has a pitching coach who does private youth lessons from what I hear. Can she give DD lessons, and if so, until what point? Start of school? Bonus question, does it...

    Saw My First "Barnhill Effect" Pitcher Tonight...in 12U Rec

    One of our local rec league plastic hunters played our local rec team who has exactly zero TB players and is almost all 11 year olds. The opposition had at least 5-6 travel players, including one who pitches for one of, if not the, premier organization in the metro area. So in tonight's 12U...

    Sad news from PA...

    Louisville Pitcher Megan Hensley takes hard shot in the circle

    Did anyone else happen to see this today in the Louisville-Notre Dame game. She was drilled - cleanly - by a line drive at what appeared to be just above the left eye slightly to the side of the forehead. The ball flew up in the air probably 40 feet high and landed about 40' behind shortstop...

    Getting the Axe

    So as first year TB parents, it became very apparent we were on the wrong team for us (or anyone really). We decided weeks ago to stick it out to the end even though it was apparent we had enough verbal and emotional abuse of the whole team. We still hadn't said anything since the season just...

    How about a little help for DD - early I/R convert

    So DD is a 12U pitcher who has been seeing a coach for about 3 years. He originally taught her HE but like some girls I think she's morphed into what naturally works for her which seems to be some aspects of I/R. Anyway, I have been leery of messing with her mid-season but our TB season is...

    Texas A&M - ULL

    Did anyone else see the call in the bottom of the 7th that looks like it is going to cost A&M the chance to play one more to advance? I believe that the ultimate call was that the slapper who hit the ball was out of the box and was called out. The ball looked to be fair on the hit. If it was...

    View-Thru Fence Mount for Cameras

    I know that there are several "LynkSpyder" users here as well as the owner, but has anyone used this mount before? Pros and Cons? The main question would be if it stays put I guess. There's no reason to think that it wouldn't work other than that. It appears to have a single knob to tighten...

    Worth Liberty Advanced Catcher's Mitt

    As some of you may have seen recently, I was in the market for a bucket dad catcher's mitt as DD has been picking up a few MPH and my 34 year old OF glove was breaking laces weekly. Combined with the nonexistent padding, it was time. So I have probably average "man sized" hands. Not huge by...

    Thoughts on Mizuno GXS31TG Catcher's Mitt for Dad

    About a week ago I posted looking for a LHT Louisville Slugger Big Daddy as my hand is taking a beating lately in my early '80s Wilson OF glove while catching DD. The laces are dried out and breaking, and there is basically zero padding. No action on my WTB ad. In the meantime, I found a good...

    Retired Bucketdads: Louisville Slugger Big Daddy LHT Catcher's Mitt wanted

    Like the title says, looking for LHT Big Daddy. Chasing the proverbial purple unicorn. I know they have been discontinued but thought maybe someone wants to clean out the closet. My 30 year old OF glove is just not cutting it as DD has gotten into the upper 40s now. My right hand is awful...

    Xeno -11 Feel vs LXT-10

    So we are looking for a new bat for DD and looking at LS bats. I'm looking at Eric F's database on bat weights and the 31/20 Xeno weighs within a few tenths of an ounce of a 31/21 LXT, actually almost with some overlap. I'm wondering all else considered, how would anyone who has swung both...

    Venting...

    So I am AC on a 12U Rec All Star Team that is attending 2 tournaments this summer. We are all home grown from a small Association that is really baseball oriented, so we don't get much of anything - field time, cooperation, etc. We're an afterthought. Both the HC and I am new to tournaments...
