At a high school varsity game one of my DD's boyfriends, friends asked me if the pitcher pitched to batters from her own team. I told my DD what he asked and she broke up with her boyfriend.

When I coached 10u my Dad would always walk over to the dugout and give me advice on practice drills after a bad play in the field.

Center fielder drops a fly ball:
My dad: You gotta hit them fly balls at practice

Shortstop misses a ground ball:
My dad: You gotta hit grounders at practice

Errant throw:
My dad: you need to practice throwing more

Good thing I had that sage advice, I might have accidentally taught them soccer.

Coaching my DD first t-ball game, we got in a huddle before the game and I reminded them that when the ball is hit to them, they throw it to first base and the first baseman catches it and steps on first. They all nodded. I asked if there were any questions and they all asked, "Where is first base?"

Right Here For Now
At a 12U TB game *Coach calls timeout and walks to his SS who has been struggling that game and has a brand new fielders glove and says,* "First off, you need to really break this in. Give me your glove." *Proceeds to throw it in the dirt and rub it in a little,* "Now it's dirty. Get it dirtier and stop the darn ball!"

In her game she pitched Saturday, DD2 throws a CU right down the middle. Batter doesn't swing and it bounces out of catchers glove. Umpire tells our catcher that if she would of caught it he would of called it a strike. Just wow!

He knows better, too. And in years past, I have laughed and said "Don't say that." His daughter ignores him and I have told the other pitchers to ignore him, too.
