    What would you like to see in a tournament?

    Me and a buddy were talking the other day and trying to figure out why associations die. As coaches or parents, what would you like to see in a tournament? Why have you quit playing certain association's tournaments? What have some done to "draw" you and your teams in? I've hosted a few and am...

    The slap bunt

    Yes, I am aware that this does not exist. Drag bunt, slap bunt, what ever names there are for a slapper who bunts. Getting really frustrating lately. 2 strikes, and the slapper sticks her bat out and runs through the zone. Foul ball on strike 2. Have had two different umpire sets in the past two...

    Last completed at bat

    Ok...this one isn't situation specific. We play USFA here mostly, and I've had some light hearted banter with one of our local PU (very good umpire and good guy, by the way), about the difference of furthest removed vs last completed at bat for purposes of courtesy runner for pitcher and catcher...

    Buying my daughters new bats

    Both of my daughters currently swing xenos. They like them and have had success with them. But both have a ton of swings on them. Like a ton. Think it's time to get some new ones. This will be one of those purely subjective things, I know, but I'm looking for recommendations from you folks...

    Appeal to ump

    Here is a bit of one that I haven't run across before. May be simpler than I'm making it out though.... Runner on 3rd, 2 outs. Batter grounds to short. Short makes throw to 1st. Field ump calls batter out. Runner on 3rd proceeds home. 1st baseman, not knowing it was 3 outs, throws home. Hits...

    Field question

    Sorry if this isn't the appropriate place for this, but there is no subforum for it...maybe equipment? Anyway, hopefully someone with field building can give me some advice. I am building a new field for our school. Pretty much donating everything. Everything is going well. Looking at fixing...

    Another obstruction call

    I know the standard "without seeing it, it's hard to call" answer, but just from info provided, put me at ease.... R1 on 2B. R1 stealing to 3B on pitch. Batter hits slow ground ball to F4. On approach to 3B, F6 runs directly in running lane of R1, and obstructs 20 feet from 3B. Being...

    Discuss fastpitch sponsors?

    Just a thought, and may be totally out of the realm of what the powers to be want to do, but having site sponsors with a dedicated forum would be awesome! For example, I'm scouring the net right now trying to find the best (and cheapest) place to get buckets of 12" leather balls (I hate that...

    Keep your eyes on the ball?

    I've seen a couple threads in here where this phrase is considered taboo....that somehow you are teaching poor mechanics if you stress this to hitters. Why? I'll admit that I have learned quite a bit reading through here. Things that I didn't understand how to put into words...I knew how to do...

    Can runner advance?

    First, amazing site....I just found it and don't know how I did without it! I hope y'all don't mind but I'll be a pest here. Lol Anyway, I coach 12U TB. And amazingly, there are still teams who attempt to steal second after a walk with a runner on third. We usually have our pitcher toss to our...
