    Anyone else catch the bluesnafu in the Houston/Texas elim?

    Amazingly enough, this is the only video I could find on it. Warning: Language in narration.

    Is the Miken Freak Black still a thing around here?

    **BAT is Sold** Thank you DFP'ers for giving our MFB a new good home! I have a barely used 32/22 MFB gathering dust in the garage. Could make a nice xmas gift? If anyone is still looking for these. I'll add some pictures later.

    The Packaged Deal still a decent deal?

    We have the opportunity for my 14U DD to attend a Packaged Deal pitching clinic here in the near future but I'm worried about what she'd get out of it. My main fear is we don't have any IR style coaching within at three hour driving radius of home (that I can find) and I don't want to pay...

    Ok DFP'ers, looking for a good camera/laptop bag. Who's got one?

    Not sure the point of a behind the back bunt

    https://youtu.be/e8z6_pRrQ94 Behind the back bunt? It worked in this instance, but would it really confuse the defense that badly?

    Easton just voluntarily removed a truckload of bats from ASA certified bat list

    This should cause some uproar. An important message about updates to ASA/USA Softball's Certified Bats

    3 steps forward, 2 steps back

    This is how my 11u DD's story goes. Semi to long-ish, sorry. She's been pitching on and off for about a year now, usually as a secondary because she hasn't wanted to devote enough time practicing. I've been her (youtube) pitching coach so far and think I've done a pretty nice job. Big props...

    Last ditch effort to find a decent 12A/14B Tournament to play mid-July

    My daughter's 12A team recently pulled out of a Colorado tournament due to lack of teams. We'd love to find another tournament to replace it, but not having much luck. Too many tournaments, not enough teams. If anyone knows of a decent, populated 12A/14B tournament within 8-10 hours of Omaha...

    Runner interference end batter/runner's AB?

    At my 12U's ASA tournament this weekend, this happened three times (twice at second base, once at first) in one game. Runner at second, two outs. Batter pops ball up over the pitchers head, as the SS moves to the easy catch, the runner heading for third crashes into her and BU calls for the...

    Ready stance on base for base running?

    Wondering what DFP thinks are the pros/cons for the three different stances I see being used for base running lately. Over the bag stance. Front foot on standing on lead side of base, rear foot behind the base. Using front leg to push off. Front of the bag stance. Front foot on lead-off...

    My DD's 2016 LS LXT showed up already!! (un-boxing!)

    Just kidding! & MADE YOU LOOK! However, this did arrive... Ordered this 32/22 Freak for my DD. Thanks for the great deal & quick ship Core! You easily live up to your reputation on these boards. I will admit, when this box did show up, I was a little worried you accidentally sent me...

    Best-to-worst finish for a turn at bat?

    Sitting with my 12u at my 10u DD's game this weekend and we were trying to come up with an ordered list of best to worst outcomes for a batter's turn at bat. Here's our list so far (keep in mind this list is for a 10u B/C team) Hit (HR, triple, double, single) ROE Base on balls Hit-by-pitch...

    I cried like a baby Saturday.

    My 12u DD played her first tournament with her new team this past weekend. In her second game of the day, first at-bat (3rd of the season) my DD cranks a 3-2 pitch a good 10' over the left-center fence with bases loaded. The DW and I are screaming wildly, high-fiving other team parents as...

    Grrr! Dam Basketball!

    This happens every year... Thanks to March Madness I will be unable to view anything softball at work for the remainder of the month! My work's web filter can't just block basketball, noooo! It has block everything sports related. So now, when trying to manage two DD's softball tournament...

    Gonna make it RAIN up in here. (Hopefully not literally on gameday)

    These arrived yesterday. Luckily, as of today, with two TB schedules we only have two partial conflicts with game times. Huskers had a Buy One-Get One Black Friday sale, so the DW & I splurged. Now if the weather will only cooperate and warm the hell up already.

    Slowly making progress. Help?

    Long post, apologies in advance. In the middle of last summer, right before we left for a 2 week family vacation/road trip, my 10u decided she wanted to pitch. Everywhere we went she kept picking up rocks and pine cones to "pitch." I had to apologize to strangers multiple times in Yellowstone...

    I know this tends to be a Bownet kind of group but....

    Amazon is having a sale on the SKLZ Quickster 7x7 net ~$87.00 Quickster net I have Bownet in the truck for the diamond, but have a Quickster at home in the garage "cage". Also works better than a Bow in the backyard for soccer balls, and footballs. For those looking for a hitting net, & at...

    LXT whip

    One of the best pictures I've ever seen of how much the newer composites flex. Not one of my DDs, but a local HS slugger.

    Anyone try the Boombah Tsunami bat?

    Nobody seems to be using this bat? I see only one review on the boombah site, but other than that zilch. At only $150 now I'm tempted to try one but I'd still like to read something about it.
