    Thank you Bill Hillhouse

    I would post this on your Facebook, but you're never on there anymore. I would text or call you, but I want other people to know the Bill I know. When my DD was 10, she decided she wanted to pitch. I don't even remember how we heard about Bill, because we were still a rec ball family at that...

    May be a silly brag...

    This past weekend, DD's HS team had a double header. DD is usually a pretty big hitter. Leads the team in doubles. Both games of this double header, every AB, DD was told to sacrifice. My kid laid the most beautiful bunts down to move her runners. The only time she got on base that whole...

    Yet another brag

    Due to some untimely departures, my DD's team of the last 2 years, folded last week. As much as that stinks, there is good that came from it. She was offered, and accepted, a spot on the Ohio Lady Lasers Red. We are so proud of her and all the hard work she has put in to get to this level...

    Word of warning...

    When you post on a message board, do not embellish the truth, or flat out lie. At some point someone who knows you and knows the truth, is going to call you out on your B.S. I promise, it WILL happen.

    Happy Post

    After several seasons of being on underachieving teams, DD's team has made the championship the last 2 weekends, taking 1st and 2nd, respectively. These girls never give up. It is a thing of beauty and has reignited my daughter's passion for the game. I am one proud mom.

    Drag vs bunt

    What constitutes a drag vs a bunt? Scenario... Batter has 2 strikes. Next pitch she drags. It goes foul. Blue calls her out stating that even though she moved through the box, it was still a bunt because she didn't break her wrists. So, did he make the right call? I have an idea of what I...

    14u or U14?

    In your area, how does the bulk of your softball world refer to age grouping? For example, is it 14u or U14? Around here, most people refer to it as 14u. Some people get really annoyed when you put the "u" first. I also know, around here, soccer refers to their groupings as "Uwhatever"...

    What do you see...

    This is my 13yo. Yes the video is dark. It was shot with my phone. We have been getting some wonderful help from a great instructor. Just curious what others have to say.

    No they don't!!

    I posted this on another board, and just felt like posting it here, as well. Okay, I have to vent about this because it bugs the heck out of me every time it happens! There is no such rule that states the pitcher must "present" the ball. NO SUCH RULE!! It never fails that, at least...

    Can you find it???

    In this music video, which is amazing by the way, there is an obscure reference to a fastpitch legend. See if you can find it. Oh, and I don't know how to make the video just "be" on here, so if someone wants to do it, feel free. Sara Smile- Jimmy Wayne and Daryl Hall (Live from Daryl's...

    Yet another 12u

    I apologize because I don't know how to embed stuff and whatnot. She is starting with a hitting coach next week, I was just wondering what I should be looking for at her lessons in regard to what she's doing now. Also, please ignore the 9yo "coach" in the background...lol. DSCN0255 - YouTube

    so excited!

    Here in NE Ohio, our first official outdoor tourney of the season is in two weeks! A nice little non-sanctioned early bird. We should be getting our pool schedule in the next day or two. I am dying to find out who we get. Will it be Mad Hornets team? We shall see...lol.
