    An explanation of my absence

    I won't make this long and drawn out, but I left the community overnight, no posts, no explanation of why. I've felt ashamed, because I had grown very close to many on here, but just couldn't bring myself to discuss what was going on. For that, I apologize. I've been out of pocket for almost a...

    Learning to give back, and learning to hold back.

    Not a softball story, but I'm proud none the less. My oldest nephew finished up his 4 years of D2 in 2014, and like most of us have experienced after ball, it leaves a void in your life. Some go play in area men's league baseball, some the slow pitch beer leagues, some go umpire, some do...

    Good ole USA

    Sorry if this has been posted, I didn't see it in a quick recent search. Got it in an email today from one of my players who also played VB. [/IMG] For the U.S. women's indoor volleyball program, "almost" had long been the most exasperating of words. The world championship of the sport began...

    Lots of angry Tennesseans.

    This may be inappropriate to post, if so my apologies and it can be closed, no hard feelings. We've had discussions on this forum many times about prayer circles, now it seems our beloved TN Vols are under attack. This hasn't hit the national news outlet much, probably considering the topic...

    Fillable bracket app??

    Dude called me this morning wanting to know if there is an app where you can fill in team names on an elimination bracket. I don't have a clue if one exists. He is a TD and I assume he wants to update the brackets via a social venue visually with the entire ongoing bracket available with your...

    The big lie, travel baseball.

    Friend of mine sent me this today via Facebook In the summer of 2011, my son, Penn, attended a Baseball Factory showcase in Lebanon, Tennessee. It was attended by around 75 high school players, and their goal was to be chosen for a larger showcase event in Atlanta – one that would be attended...

    As the sun sets

    My long time friend Cannonball sent me a PM yesterday asking if Alex would be returning to the college arena next season, I've been struggling with the words to post a thread publicly. DFP is a lot cheaper than therapy, so here is the PM reply. Yes, Alex is done with softball. These are...

    How low can you go?

    At DD's college game today the other team had a catcher who literally "sat" in position. I've seen some squat pretty low, but never sit on their rear. She had good pop ups and a good gun. Opinions?

    How often do you strike out?

    Most of you know my DD still hasn't been cleared medically to pitch a college game yet, but she has been DH-ing. Running some stats over the weekend, and one popped out........strikeouts. Out of 65 plate appearances, she has stuck out once. And that was in a 4 game series against the #19...

    Maybe I should have told the truth.

    Well I got busted tonight by the wife. A couple of hours ago I told her I was running to the local hardware store to get a few items. ( I'm building a wooden bridge over one of our streams ) On the way back home I noticed the lights on at our town fields, thought I might stop by for a few mins...

    Even my smart phone has lost faith.

    Like most I keep some friends up to date during DD's college games with scores / innings / k's / at bats / etc. The past few games I'm sending a lot of "down 3-0 in 4th" "down 5-1 in 6th". I've been having to spell out "down" until today's double header. Today I noticed I have a new feature, if...

    Player shoving a fan, going to far?

    Oklahoma State star Marcus Smart shoved a Texas Tech fan in the final seconds of the 19th-ranked Cowboys' 65-61 loss to the Red Raiders on Saturday night in Lubbock, Texas. Smart tried to block Jaye Crockett's dunk attempt from behind with 6.2 seconds to go but stumbled out of bounds behind the...

    You've got to be kidding!!

    How in the world do these kids stay healthy as a horse all year until ball season? All winter we have been working on some new pitching "stuff" for college. Last week during school practice she said her knee felt funny after a drill they ran. Been hurting ever since so off to the doctor we go...

    Homesick

    It's the little things

    One thing I've learned over my years of playing and onto coaching is to watch for the little things that can make a big difference. I'd like to share what I saw yesterday at a college preseason tournament. 1)It was late in the day and only had 2 teams left to finish their games. ( non overall...
