    Horrible obstruction call UCLA vs stanford

    I would lean towards the side that obstruction should not of been called in the Stanford vs UCLA. I do think the throw took the catcher into the base path or into blocking the plate. I also understand that the catcher could have caught that ball without blocking the plate, in that case the...

    Horrible obstruction call UCLA vs stanford

    Better view of the play at about the 4:15 mark in this video. When I first saw this in the original post I thought that the runner should have been called out. When I see this in the YouTube video I can see this going either way.

    You can't reply that and not provide a link. ;) I struck out trying to find the play.

    First time Ghost Dad

    My daughter has cracked at least 6 Ghost bats in the past two years. Easton has been great with replacement bats. She always has two Ghosts in the bat bag. She has also cracked her share of Demarini, Mizunos, and LXT's. We hit a lot, far more than your average travel ball player, lots of front...

    Hopefully the NCAA will follow the NAIA example.

    DEFENSE

    Maybe I am wrong but I am going to say that the way travel ball is currently being ran is one of the culprits to bad defense. What I mean is the amount of National teams that are popping up are not good for travel softball because there are less and less players that are practicing multiple...

    Viewership for Women's basketball Iowa vs S. Carolina. Wow !!!

    Who catches pitching lessons?

    Jonathan might be able to find you catcher for some of the time slots if you ask. Not sure what the going rate is for a catcher but he usually has a few girls that are nearby. Jonathan could also catch some. During a one hour lesson I would say I am catching for my daughter for less than a 1/2...

    Who catches pitching lessons?

    Very rarely does my daughter's pitching coach catch her for a lesson. 90% of the time I catch for my daughter, the other 10% of the time it is my son or the catcher from her high school team.

    Pitchers With Less Than Perfect Mechanics

    Been going to Tincher instructors for 5 years. Never heard a Tincher instructor teaching anything about driving way off to the left.

    5 Simple Rules for Surviving High School Softball

    Personally, I really enjoy high school season. In many ways, I enjoy high school softball more than the travel ball season.

    Big 10 softball

    Harsh but true. LOL I live about 45 minutes south of Chicago and would like to disagree with you but you are correct. The midwest is just not ideal for March and April softball outside. The only reason we stay here is that I can't make the kind of money I currently make as plumber in the...

    Big 10 softball

    Talent/recruiting is the #1 reason that the Big 10 is behind the other P5 conferences. I was watching the Illinois vs Nebraska game today, there is a significant difference in the talent in Big 10 vs the SEC, ACC, or Big 12. Everything from team speed, quickness, and power. When I watch a Big 10...

    Any tips for propane heater setups in these cold early spring games?

    Just by one of the Pods. They work extremely well, and if it is raining it will keep you dry.

    POLL- would you pay this?

    No way I would pay that fee for group hitting lessons. I pay $40 per 1/2 hour for my daughter. We go about every other week. For every paid hitting lesson she is also hitting 5-6 times in a cage in between lessons. I pay $100 per month for use of the indoor cage, there is a dome about 5 miles...

    POLL- would you pay this?

    Parents can get good video of live at bats from foul territory between home and 1st, or home and 3rd depending on a right or left handed hitter. I take video of my daughter's live at bats pretty frequently. Most parents don't take advantage of this. IMO, video of hitters from behind home plate...

    College has some

    NAIA has a 10 athletic scholarship limit rule. Less than D1 but more than D2. Not saying that all the girls are not on full rides but it is not possible for the entire team to be full athletic scholarships only. They can certainly give academic scholarships at NAIA schools. My daughter's...

    Weighted Balls as Part of Warm-Up

    If you are doing tee work, why not just hit regular balls into a Bownet?
