    DD is so bad ..

    Right now 12 YO DD would not swing at a beach ball, she is ducking on every pitch. Umpire even commented to our coaches that it might seem I am not calling the high pitches correctly but your batters are ducking, I think the comment was aimed at my DD. I was trying to be funny but it is an...

    Parent Interference about the Rules

    It is never going to happen again. :) The game was a lot of fun with a lot of nice hits and plays in the field. Both HCs agreed to the pitching so I am not upset or complaining about it, was just curious about becoming involved. If we lost it would have been OK to, it was a fun game.

    How was your weekend?

    I have been there and it is no good. We have a good fun team this year and everyone will be sorry to see the season end. Hopefully next year will be the same,

    How was your weekend?

    Extra innings on Saturday, DD has never played 8 innings before. We were the home team. We were down by a run, bases loaded, with 1 out and our 2 best hitters coming up. Best hitter stuck out. Next hitter, with 2 strikes on her, hit a rocket to the fence. Game over. Lot of fun for us. :)...

    Parent Interference about the Rules

    A tie would have been fine with me but no the game would have continued. Both Teams had some pitchers available that did not reach their inning limit.

    Players have to pay at the gate?

    DD is on a gluten free diet, we will not be going anywhere near the concession stand. It hasn’t been an Issue yet but my plan is to send the venue an Email and hopefully get a response then bring a printed copy to the park. We will see how that works but I am sure we will be allowed to bring...

    DW is asking if DD if she wants to go to the batting cage. ;) and DW hates SB.

    Parent Interference about the Rules

    Yes, the umpire made the right call after I yelled at them Yes, it is Rec. Local Rule so the umpire is out of the picture. The coaches need to know the rules and not make them up as they go along.

    How many tourneys to play?

    If or when we shop for a TB Team we are going to look for a Team with a schedule that meets our personality. We are not going to join a Team that plays a tourney every weekend, but we are also not going to join a Team that plays 1 tourney a month. That is just us. There is no right answer to...

    That better not be true.

    Parent Interference about the Rules

    I am the parent. :) 2 rules things happened in the game yesterday. Situation 1: Runner on 3rd, batter walks. 3rd base coach wants her to keep going to 2nd. Batter-runner stops on 1st then jumps off the base 10 feet or so and stops. PU calls the batter-runner out. Everyone on our Team is...

    Is it too late?

    Short answer is absolutely not. Longer answer is it depends on what level she wants to pitch at. The lower level the Team the faster she will get circle time. One good offseason she should get a lot of circle time in rec. or a lower level TB Team, it will take longer to pitch on a higher...

    Anyone tried this soft toss machine?

    I have a few hitting things in our garage that are collecting dust. If your DD is practicing by herself it looks marginal, if she is practicing with the team or you it looks worthless.

    Hello Elbow - When did that start and why?

    I think it looks good on the blackboard. If I was sitting around on the coach thinking about pitching HE makes a lot of sense.

    NFHS rules For the number of high school players

    I would send the AD an Email. I could not find the rule or consequence for violating it but 5 players on the same Team comes to my mind. It does not apply to MS players so I do not know the rule, I do not think it takes effect until they start HS so I do not know how it can be enforced for...

    Guest Playing

    I am not speaking from experience but either ask the person in charge of your club or go to a tourney and talk to the parents. I would ask your HC first, not for permission, but if they know of any Teams so they know what you are trying to do. They are going to find out, it is a small world...

    Dreaded day

    Take a break, all players do not need to play TB. Have her come join us and beat up on the Rec. players a little bit.

    Pitch Count

    If my assumptions are right, 6 games * 5 innings (timed games) = 30 innings. #1 and #2 should be able to pitch about 12 innings each, 6 innings each day, so you only need a combined 6 or so innings out of #3 and #4. If you can get more innings out of #3 and #4 great, you should not need many...

    DD slower in game situations

    11 YO DD is a throw strikes pitcher and cannot afford to walk to many players. There is a good chance the batters she doesn’t walk are going to hit the ball hard, it is not fair to blame the defense when the batters are teeing off on her. If your DD is not walking anyone she might be throwing...

    Fielding glove recommendations

    DD is a little bit smaller yours and plays the same positions. We bought her a 12.5 Akadema for X-mas and it is working out well. It did take a while to break in but I think it is going to last forever, 12.5 plus or minus a .5 sounds about the right size, so if she is committable with the 12’...
