    TCS 16U Nationals Jacksonville Storm Stripped of title

    If they gave the director documents that said the girls correct age and it was an over site by the director in addition to the coach then I think the punishment should be limited to the coach for not knowing the rules On top of that tourney director being punished somehow. But if that coach gave...

    14U team DQ'ed at LL World Series for social media post

    Little League does have a strict rule about social media and sportsmanship! In my opinion so that LL could say they made a stance, they should have suspended the kid that posted it. The unless all those kids snap chatted it. But LL is very quick to make examples of people not following their...

    Wild pitch vs passed ball

    Have a DD that caught and have a DD that pitches. The scoring rule is left somewhat open to interpretation. The way we score it is any ball that is in the dirt is a WP. However any ball that gets between the wickets is a passed ball. We do expect the catcher to protect between the legs.

    Sacrifice Bunts and Math

    As a coach I would love to play my corners play back and just play the hotshots. It puts some stress on team when they have to wonder what your going to do.. Just my opinion I like to use the sac bunt to put runners in scoring position...

    DP/Flex ruling

    I want my starting pitcher to be able to bat the entire game. I want our second pitcher to be able to come in and not hit. This is the only way I could figure out how to do that without using a substitution.

    DP/Flex ruling

    I am wanting to use the DP/Flex so that I can have 2 pitchers in the game defensively... My starting pitcher being the better hitter. SO I am wanting to DP my starter and flex my 2nd pitcher. To begin the game I want to enter my DP defensively in the pitcher position... Blue's wouldn't allow it...

    More on young players committing early

    I know the kid very well. I have watched her pitch many times from the other dugout! I know that she throws HARD!! I have never had a gun on her but I know of a handful of girls that have thrown in the low 60s and Rice makes these kids look like they are throwing slowpitch lol. I have no doubt...

    Mask Watch

    take a look at this photo. Imagine how this would have turned out without her wearing a mask. This was the third out of the inning she came in the dugout with some dirt in her eye, washed it out and came up as the leadoff batter that inning and hit a double. It makes me cringe to think where she...

    LL Regionals vs. Nationals with travel team

    OH yes Jen. She was 6' ended up peaking at 6'1" and your right not a petit kid. That was really a turning point for that kid. She got to be throwing the ball in the upper 50's and mom couldnt catch her anymore, dad is a truck driver and was gone all week on the road. Jen really quit practicing...

    LL Regionals vs. Nationals with travel team

    I was lucky enough to help coach a team that made it to the LLWS in 2008 we got third and easily that groups most memorable softball experience! They were rock stars in our commuinty and all the neighboring towns! Heck it still gets talked about and most of them are freshman in college. Most...

    overhand throw - me

    LOL you wouldnt be wearing a t-shirt in IL right now. As i look outside i see about 18-20" of snow and 5 out of the next 6 days have lows in the negatives. And not one day in the 10 day forcast even gets into the 30's. I was hoping last year was a fluke we missed out on a 3rd of our season. But...

    ASA 18U Gold Nationals in Oklahoma City, 16U Gold in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma

    and where will the college coaches go? Im guessing 16Gold could be the new recruting tourney? Obviously PGF will get the scouts but will the coaches that follow ASA all head to ASA 16Gold Nationals?

    To go or not to go, that is the question....

    If giving her some space is an issue but the wife wants to go. Then go down, stay at a different hotel, go watch the games and leave the team after the games are over. If she needs you then you are a text away but when they arent playing you and the wife can enjoy the florida weather.

    The Ongoing Debate about Masks

    Hopefully the ball is only going 80 when it hits you in the face LOL. Exit speeds of 98MPH and we know some bats exceed that from time to time. Obviously its only MY opinion but its gotten to the point with the 43 feet that some teams have entire lineups that can crush the ball. Used to be if...

    The Ongoing Debate about Masks

    this may fall into the debate catagory but..... Would ASA put themselves in a potential legal problem if they only mandated masks in certain positions? say a second basement playing up in a slap situation gets hit in the face. Is it ASA's fault because they didnt mandate that position? Dont get...

    Very frustrating night at the ball park

    Agreed 10000% some of my proudest moments as a father are my daughters reactions to doing poorly at givin times. TOP dad moment for me was when daughter was 10 running track. Running in the final heat at State in the 100 meter dash. She is in second place right on the heels of the girl in front...

    Pitching speeds at LL World Series.....

    i wont argue with you at all on the calibur of competition. But ill tell you i watched the 16U PGF game and one of the centerfielders missed an easy flyball and allowed 1 of the 2 runs scored. I think in all there were 4 errors in that game. And those were (agureably) the best 2 16U teams in the...

    Pitching speeds at LL World Series.....

    I dont think any one would argue that PGF top end pitchers are better. And the quality of the teams is WAY better than LL. Carly Hoover threw 62MPH in hte LLWS as a 13 year old. I seen the kid pitch with my own eyes it was harder than anything i had seen that year even inthe 14U games i seen...

    Pitching speeds at LL World Series.....

    Wouldnt argue that a bit. But arent all the teams in PGF chasing a trophy too? LOL. I know what your saying but is the only trophy in the world worth chasing the PGF trophy? Personally i think most kids would trade a college scholorship for all their metals and trophy's. playing the All Start...
