    Boombah Customer Service

    Update. They called back this morning and are fixing everything on an expedited basis. I don't know if this post had anything to do with the sudden change but we are happy they are making it right. I would delete the thread altogether but I can't figure out how to.

    Boombah Customer Service

    Can anyone give me an escalation telephone number to call at Boombah? They totally messed up our pants and we are three weeks into travel season unable to wear our proper uniforms. We have done business with them for the past 7 years and something is way off with their sizing and they refuse...

    Lady Lasers Blue 2000 tryout in WV

    Lasers Blue 2000 still has a spot for a 16u pitcher. I will be at the Hurricane West Virginia tryout this Saturday at 1pm. If you are thinking of coming to the Columbus tryout this Sunday, consider coming to WV as a plan B due to massive rainfall predicted in central Ohio this weekend. WV not so...

    Stingrays 01 Private Tryouts this weekend!

    The Ohio Stingrays 01 just finished an amazing season at ASA/USA Nationals in Bloomington IN compiling a record of 89-26-2 over 117 games for the year. This does not include the indoor 14u 6 on 6 league we played over the winter in which the team went undefeated over the 12 game season. These...

    In-game discipline - push-ups

    Not something I would do but I can relate to why a coach would do this. A Woman I coach with plays college ball and according to her every time someone on her college team pops out, they do 10 push ups immediately upon returning to the dugout - in the dugout. Reminds me of minute 2:10 of this...

    Trickery has no place on the field??

    We played a tough schedule and she got undressed (a la Charlie Brown) a few times so she didn't mind a break from it. It was a plus that her arm is a cannon.

    Trickery has no place on the field??

    Four years ago I was coaching a 10u team and our third basemen was really excited one day when I put her in center field. So she's out there runner on first and a base hit up the middle. She fields it cleanly but pretends it got by her and starts to run for the fence. The baserunner from...

    Any of you coaches ever thrown in the towel on your team?

    Fall season is tough with conflicts. You have cheerleading, volleyball, golf, I even have one playing football. Then with the older kids you have Homecoming. I bumped the roster size up this year to help deal with it. Players tend to shake out after fall season, I would be more concerned...

    Pro softball salaries - article

    I hope you are right, but I am not convinced NPF is growing. As I recall at one point there were 8 teams in the league and of late there have only been 4. That to me seems like barely hanging on. I'm not an insider so that's all I have to go on.

    That's actually what I love about being at an MLB game. I don't ever want it to end. Felt that way as a kid and still do at 45.

    Things to say to a pitcher when she can't find the zone

    A lot of times I'll just signal my catcher to go talk to her. Saves me from burning a conference and seems to have a more relaxing effect on the pitcher opposed to me coming out there. I have no idea what they talk about and don't ask. You would be surprised how often it helps smooth things...

    Other activities?

    I am jealous. My girls have zero interest in guns or hunting. Of my oldest girls one is a vet tech and the other wants to be a veterinarian and both think hunting is mean. My younger two girls love to fish but neither will bait a hook or take the fish off so when they are biting I don't get...

    What benefits are allowed by NCAA?

    I do wonder Starsnuffer have you always been the same person with this username? For the longest time until recently I always thought you were a woman. Of late your posts have been quite different. Not saying that's a bad thing.

    world record shortest private tryout

    You might want to check out their last few albums. They abandoned that New Wave phase and got back to their roots. Everything 2002 and later rocks pretty hard.

    NSA "A" World Series vs ASA or PGF regional for 14U

    Were you there this year? Curious what you thought of the officiating. We took our 13u team to NSA A in Chattanooga and had a good experience and I talked to some coaches who came back from Chicago saying the umpiring was atrocious.

    world record shortest private tryout

    After the moving the mat back incident, I watched her pitch awhile and asked if she was good and loose, if she was "game ready". She said yes and I asked if this seemed to him like her normal pitching. He said that it was and asked what I clocked her at. I turned the gun around and showed...

    world record shortest private tryout

    Your frame of reference is the problem. Our team is full except one spot which we are saving for a pitcher who can make an impact. If I were to waste that pick on a "project player" the rest of our families who pay good money to be on the team would have a major beef. Coaches get blasted on...

    Team websites - Useful?

    I can tell you they are useful to me as an opposing coach. First I will input your roster into my ipad to save our scorekeeper time between games - especially when coaches want to wait till the flip to exchange line ups! Second if we are playing unfamiliar teams, often times I can look at the...

    world record shortest private tryout

    It was awkward alright. I was prepared to be awhile and run her through all the drills, but it was Friday night and there was a local High School football game to get to as well..... I just said as politely as I could "she's not quite ready for us, but thanks for coming out".
