    Solution for Chafing behind the Knees

    Daughter has been catching with triple knee leg guards for a couple of years. This past weekend she caught 4 games and there are red strap marks behind the knees and one spot on left side worse. Googled and read that pants bunching can cause this, etc. Inspected her gear and I didn’t see...

    From the eyes of a catcher

    Regular season complete. From the eyes and thighs of a catcher [emoji23]. 1,734 pitches called, 1,594 received. That’s 37.6 squats on average per day of the season - not counting warmups and practice. Only 15 attempts to steal on her versus 128 on a league rival. Caught 129 Ks to lead the team...

    First Week of HS Coaching Complete

    DD1 may be the youngest V head coach in the league and county. Her journey here has been full of highs and lows and I’m very proud. Assistant AD told me yesterday I should be a proud mama. She’s doing exactly what they wanted - college level practices, keeps it moving, full of content. She’s...

    Donated Helmets not School Colors

    Two years ago our private high school had about a dozen Schutt custom painted helmets donated. The bill is red with a fade to black. Our colors are Green and White. Any suggestions on how to cost effectively get these on compliance with our school’s “brand”? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Summer Heat Strategies

    DD survived her first summer heat of the season, but we were honestly worried as we were facing a 4 game bracket play on Sunday and this is her first year as #1 and #2 is developmental level. DD asked for a break in game two and stood in RF for an inning. Coaching staff is thankfully supportive...

    Catcher Equipment Repair Kit Suggestions

    Happened this weekend, helmet dropped for a pop up and snap and screw both come off. Scramble to borrow #2 catcher's mask. We were able to fix by hand for next inning. First thought was, time to get a second helmet and keep first as backup. Second thought was to ask if it made sense to have a...

Umpire makes no call, meanwhile in the subsequent confusion waiting for the call the bunt batter advances to second. Should the umpire have made a verbal call or...
