shutting DD down indefinitely. Sciatic/back/hip pain. has had minor issues with this on and off for a while, chiropractor and stretching extra seemed to help. few weeks ago, paying HS field hockey, jumped to avoid a ball hit in air towards her legs (if it hits her it is a foul on her), landed...
minor fall tune up tournament, 14u. 5th inning, goes to ITB. Visiting team fails to score (had 2nd and 3rd no outs, next batter weak pop fly at edge of grass, no chance for tagging, then next batter hits rocket down 3B line, F5 catches and tags runner trying to get back to 3B to end half...
DD (2007) will be on the same team from one year to the next! she is so happy, she told coach during their end of year discussion that she wants to finish out her career with his team
10u first year - team only played one tournament, DD was sub for whomever was pitching at the moment.
10u...
Team just lost in round of 16 in a 2-1 game, tough loss, 4-3 overall, lost to a couple of teams they should gave beat in pool play.
Good week for d's though, led team in BA and OBP, 2nd in SLG, tied for second (4 girls) in rbi. (4th or 5th in most categories for year)
And DD get my personal...
Leaving tomrrow, splitting drive (10 hours if straight through) into two days. Looking forward to girls refocusing after a dissappointing state "B" championship tournament last weekend (placed 5th). Also looking forward to seeing some different teams for a change.
Reccomendations?
14u team is into sixties game wise for the year (and very successul, which helped up the # of games). In addition, couple of the girls played HS (rest still in MS with no MS ball), several others played for town select teams (kinda in between rec and travel).
team lost 3rd round elimination...
DD reached the goal here instructor set for her of 15 runners thrown out for the spring! (included caught stealing, and pick offs, and instructor counted the one where DD threw behind girls leading off of second, and it started a run down that led to an out). Now her instructor has to take her...
first game sunday (DDs team would win three to get to championship game, lose on walk off single with bases loaded), DDs team (visitor) is down 7 to 4, but have loaded the bases. opponent decides to make pitching change. this is top of the 5th, games are 80 min finish the inning. probably...
championship game sunday, DDs team is down 3 or 4 runs, about halfway through game (they ended up playing 6 when time expired). after P walks bases loaded (or possibly walked in a run, I forget), DDs HC opens gate and says "time blue", umpire grants time. pitcher had ball in circle, but...
DD (RHB) is having her best season at the plate, got her a GA over winter, her old Ghost was cracked. both were/are 32 -10. her spray chart is heavily weight towards left field (54% balls hit to L, 28% to C, 19% to R, with most of those being outside pitches. Lots of long fall bouls on 3B...
warning about bungees, replace every year or so.
I use a bungee to secure crap (canopy mostly) in/on top of folding wagon. couple of weeks ago, had some ligh to moderate winds, and of course stakes and ropes for canopy are long gone, so was using bungee to hold canopy down by fastening it to...
DD is outgrowing YET ANOTHER pair of cleats. getting hard to put them on, even with laces loose, and toes are pretty much rubbing front of foot. Think my wife gave birth to sasquatch based on her feet.
what makes it harder is she is particular to say the least. wants metal, mid or high...
have 90% of a groups games at site A on Sat, all bracket games at site A on sunday except finals, and move finals to site B? the reason we were told is because "that is where the medals are". hhhhmmm, one box of metals transported in a car by one person, vs making two entire teams (who just...
Great weekend for team, and for DD. first really hot WE of the year here, so no one used to it yet.
Sat, DD has the best day so far in her SB life at the plate. 5 for 7, + SF RBI, 3 doubles, including a ground rule double (she is actually mad about this, would have been triple if it had not...
just wanted to share/vent.
Wed night at a game, DD showed me that her Rawlings Velo leg guards had again come part (strap holding knee cap to shin guard came off of shin guard, only stitched in, not riveted like nearly all the rest). this is our second pair of Rawlings, first ones did the...
anyone have any experience with either of the RAwlings Mach or pro preferred leg guards. getting a warranty replacement for the second set of velo leg guards where strap stiched not riveted to hold plastic pieces together failed. no faith in velo guards anymore, if RAwlings will agree (and...
bottom of 7th inning (14u), home team down a run, runners (both pretty fast) on 1B and 3B, 2 outs. hot hitter (2-2 in this game) at the plate.
do you bait throw with runner on 1B bascially walking towards 2B while looking at C?
sorry if confusing, question is does the offense try and draw the...
GC allow the two scorekeepers in a game exchange information (lineups, substitutions, etc.) directly, and see how the other one scores a play? think this would be very interesting to see (ie hit vs E, WP v PB, etc.)
