    Question about playing on two TB teams.

    I know teams are allowed to have a "Guest" player. Couldn't she just be a guest at 16u?

    Question about playing on two TB teams.

    So my DD is playing TB for a 14u team. The HC or the 16u team ( from the same organization) wants her to pitch 16u when 14u are not playing that weekend. He added her to both rosters. USSSA emailed and said she had to pick one team. I was under the impression she was allowed to pitch/play for...

    Run a lap !

    I remember playing legion ball many moons ago, we had to run a lap, as a team, for every pleayer that looked at the third strike the game before. Heck, I remember the coach making a few players run a lap DURING THE GAME ! when he got really upset...

    TB players skipping tryouts.. AM I out of line in my thinking.

    Well, first tourney is over. The last minute player did in fact play. As a matter of fact she played every single inning of all four games ( one day tourney) even the 2 blowout wins. She didn't sit one inning. She is now " only playing the home tournaments" . Because her parents are not fond...

    TB players skipping tryouts.. AM I out of line in my thinking.

    I fully understand that this is TB. It is win at all cost. That is what i like about it. I wouldn't think these parents would have a leg to stand on if these two players were "new" players that just moved here or whatever. But the one girl in particular was called quite a few times last fall to...

    Help, I'm ruining dd's love of the game!

    It is an exercise in patience for sure. We have a great relationship with our PC. When we are there with him in the gym or at the field before practices I just sit my butt on the bucket and catch. If your daughter is anything like mine, she doesn't listen to a darn word you say anyway. Sometimes...

    That was kinda my thinking also but apparently we are the minority.

    Like I said, I don't have a issue but the wife is kinda taking the brunt of it with thew parents because of her position with the team.

    I don't really have a dog in this hunt. But I can see why parents would be upset.

    TB players skipping tryouts.. AM I out of line in my thinking.

    13 well 15 now I guess .Apparently the coach "Saved a roster spot" for the girl who played last yr. in case she decided to play. But, he didn't mention this to the parents and he said nothing about the middle school girl at all. I Just wonder if my DD will get a "Roster spot held for her" next...

    TB players skipping tryouts.. AM I out of line in my thinking.

    I help coach the U10 TB team and Middle school ball. Consequently, My wife is pretty much the Middle School and TB team Mom. She is also the treasurer for both teams. So, when the other parents noticed these girls out there they came to my wife, who was sitting watching practice like the rest of...

    TB players skipping tryouts.. AM I out of line in my thinking.

    Thanks for your candor, My question is then, why did he bother with tryouts? Why not just handpick the players and save a bunch of time, money and headache?. Also, Doesn't this set a presidence? By that I mean, My daughter is a VERY, VERY good player ( atleast on this TB team. ) she is...

    TB players skipping tryouts.. AM I out of line in my thinking.

    So this is DD third yr. in TB. and first yr. at the U12 level. Our TB organization has U10, U12, U14 etc. teams. There was a very competitive and stressful tryout process last fall to make this U12 team. It wasn't a guarantee if you played U10 TB for this organization that you would make the...

    Sliding at home plate when bases are loaded????

    No we ended up winning regardless. But that was a very bad call that could have easily bit us in the rear.

    Sliding at home plate when bases are loaded????

    I did a search but didn't find quite what I was looking for. We play under ASA high school rules. Here is the play: Bases loaded one out bottom 7 tie game. Batter hits a ground ball to short. Shortstop throws home to get the force out at home. The catcher is pulled off the plate a bit to the...

    Be the Best You Are clinic in NJ - Patty Gasso

    This is exactly how I remember it also. The Weekly's also talked about it Thursday evening.

    Be the Best You Are clinic in NJ - Patty Gasso

    I was at the clinic this year and Patty Gasso did not say that. At least not in the session I attended. Karen and Ralph Weekly referenced Robinson Cano in two different sessions and it wasn't about his nose over his belly button. They were discussing the back foot during a swing and how...

    Do you allow TB pitcher to play rec ball?

    She's a kid. Kids like to play with their friends. I don't see the problem. It can't always be about who is #1 TB pitcher, who will hurt their college career at 10 yrs old,, and who is training for a D1 Full ride while still iin elementary school. etc.... Sometimes it is about nothing but...

    Trickery has no place on the field??

    In my opinion this is just a obscure part of the game. As a former college baseball player I can recall running the hidden ball trick multiple times with about a 50% success rate.

    I am now a true believer in EvoShield

    I understand the idea behind this is to protect the heart and hopefully prevent it from stopping due to a line drive, but an added benefit would be protecting some ribs also. A broken rib may not kill you but they surely hurt and will keep a DD out of the game for quite some time. Why is there...
