    Does your DD have multiple game bats?

    Does your DD have 1 game bat she uses all the time or a couple/ few that she uses depending on the pitcher or how she is swinging? Other factors for using a different game bat? (Cold weather doesn’t count as a factor unless it is a game bat just for cold weather, I think most players would use...

    Batting Helmets Lifespan

    The league Helmets have been refurbished a couple times, padding inside replaced and outside cleaned up. Does anyone know if there is a suggested life for a batting helmet or can they just be refurbished as needed forever?

That is...

    First Time Guest Playing

    DW has no clue about level of plays or apparently age groups. A Team needed a player to play this past weekend so somehow DD was free came up and she was invited to play. DW asked me first and I told her to ask DD, if she wanted to play let her play. It is fall ball, how much trouble can you...

    Deaf-Mute Player

    Brother has a Deaf-Mute Player on his 12U TB Team. She has an interpreter at every game and practice. Our grandparents were also Deaf-Mute so brother knows some sign language but is a little (a lot) rusty. First tourney was this weekend and she was looking at her interpreter in the stands not...

    MS Recap

    DD’s last JV game is Monday. The varsity Team has an open roster position and they asked her if she wanted to join the Team and go to regionals with them. HC told her that there was almost no chance she will get into a game but that she had to be ready just in case. Of course DD said heck...

    School announcing the score – Bragging

    DD’s school only announces the JV score on the PA system if they win. 7th graders on the Team have never heard a score announced but the HC said it would be today. What was fun about yesterday’s game is we had 11 players and all 11 made a play, no errors. DD could not wait to get to school...

    I like DD’s coach

    DD was pulled, 2nd time ever, and HC told the noble pitcher to do her best, my DD lost the game so it is on her., I understand what he was trying to communicate but misspoke. DD was not upset about it but he pulled her aside and apologized to her the next day. He knew he made a mistake and...

    Taking a step back

    We have a pitcher that starts with both her feet on the plate and then takes a step backwards with her left foot. I know this is illegal in ASA but is it OK in HS still?

    Defense

    This year in DD’s rec league her Team could put the best infield in the league on the field if they wanted to, the HC moved players around so it didn’t happen very often but it was fun to watch when they did. All the fielders had their Issues but as a group really good. MS ball it seems like...

    Throw from 3rd/SS

    We have a player that can make nice throws from SS to 1st, 3rd to 1st you have no idea where the ball is going. Well you do have a clue because from 3rd to 1st the ball is not going anywhere near the 1st basemen. This is an 11YO but the distance of the throw is close to the same isn’t it? SS...

    Might not be your day

    We are getting destroyed so the opposing HC is having her runners go station to station. Runner on 1st, batter hits the ball into RF. 3rd base coach basically chased the runner starting at 1st back to 2nd; they would not let her come to 3rd. We eventually get the ball to the 3rd basemen, play...
