    Out of the blocks

    A while back there was some discussion regarding the significance of catcher’s pop time being strongly affected by the transfer time from glove to hand. In that same vein, it seems that a batter/runner’s time from home to first would likely be strongly affected by just getting out of the box...

    Supporting the economy one gadget at a time

    OK, I'm guilty! I like gadgets. Plus, I'm bored from not being able to be out at the fields. Plus, I've probable saved enough gas and worked enough OT this year month that it's OK to spurge a little. Oh, and I'm trying to find ANYthing that will help me get the kids get off their butts and...

    Softball happy thoughts

    OK, time to post a pic of a happy softball moment. Here is one of my DD at sunset last year (not a perfect photo, but oh well). It was a very long midsummer day, and we were tired and ready to go home. I think this game was running at least an hour late. We saw the sunset, and made a point...

    Coastal Cen Cal IR PC

    DD does NOT pitch, and not trying to get her into it, but after reading many of the threads here (and learning a lot!), I have casually asked a few of our local star pitchers if their PCs are teaching HE or IR, to which I either get this or this . Does anyone have names of PCs known to teach...

    How do you fix this blown call?

    First, the umpire in question readily admitted he blew the call. Second, he made plenty more mistakes. The situation Semifinal USA Softball rules tourney game, two outs, runners at 1st and 2nd (largely inconsequential to the play). Batter has two strikes, and lays down a two-strike bunt...
