    Good Weekend

    DDs second year 14U team took first place this past weekend. They have 11 on the roster that includes a few 03s. 21 teams in the open division, 11 were 14U - A, the rest were B. DDs team went 6-1 with 4 mercy rule wins. They outscored their opponents 50-12. I wasn't there, but DW said the girls...

    Batter/Runner Dives into First Base

    So the Brazilian 400 meter Olympian, Shaunee Miller, took the Gold over the USA favorite by diving across the finish line. The rules say the finish time is when any part of the torso crosses the line. I saw the umpteen photos, she won by about a foot, 0.07 seconds faster than USA's Allyson...

    Overuse

    Just read that an ESPN writer has been critical this year of Arizona's baseball coaches for overusing their pitcher's arms. Here's a link: Arizona Wildcats baseball slammed over pitchers use Seems like the conventional Little League argument. One pitcher threw 122 pitches yesterday and another...

    Question for Scorekeepers: Winning Pitcher for games < 5 innings

    I searched the site and the web but couldn't quickly find an answer, so I thought I'd ask the DFP scorekeepers. A few similar situations from last weekend's tournament. The fourth game is slightly different. Thanks in advance for your input. USSSA Qualifier, 14U Open. 1 hour, 15 minutes no new...

    A little time off from the circle may do alot of good

    My 13 YO DDs TB team (02's) typically doesn't practice from about mid December to early January. During that most recent period, she only pitched for a couple of hours (one hour lesson with her PC and a couple 30-minute sessions to work on stuff from the lesson. DW took her to a 5-game...

    NCAA Medical Hardship/Redshirt Question

    I just read Rubber Biscuit's 2014 thread on redshirt rules but there wasn't a lot of input on medical redshirts. Question: If a DI SB player takes a medical redshirt, can she practice with the team during the year of her redshirt? Specifically, take BP and fielding drills? Just curious. Thanks...

    8th grade MS season is done but a success

    So the 8 teams in DDs MS league varied from real good (1 team) to pretty good (DDs team) to good (2 teams) to fair to poor (the remaining 4 teams). DDs MS went 7-3 and took 2nd place. League rules allow 4 innings pitched in a 7-inning game. DD and the other pitcher (who is also on DDs TB team...

    SKs: How would you score this AB?

    R1 on 2b, R2 on 1b. BR hits one hopper to P's left. P fields the ball, spins to throw out R1 at 3b and holds ball (R1 already at, near 3b), then turns to throw out R2 at 2b and holds ball (R2 at/near 2b), then throws to 1b to force BR but throw is a hair late and BR is safe. I scored it a FC...

    More Proud than Brag

    DD played her 5th 8th-grade MS game last night. Pitched 3 innings and caught 4. She is not a catcher. Her team won, 7-4. 2 for 3 with 3 RBI. I was proud of her for doing a good job.

    Utah Utes continue to impress me

    I told my DD last year that the Utes have a new facility, are building their program, and may be a PAC 12 force in 5 years. Well, that might happen sooner. After being swept in their first two conference series by UCLA and Oregon, they have won their last four PAC 12 series vs. Stanford (2-1)...
