Just got back from pitching practice and I had my DD try something new---throw a rise ball. After about 4 or 5 that didn't do much, she finally got one with decent spin that went right over the plate. And if Andre the Giant was batting against her, it would have been a strike.

Sophomore daughter playing varsity, only had 22 ab entire season as freshman. Through five games is 11/15 with a 4/4, 3/4 and 2/3 day already. Confidence begets confidence .. I know it cannot last but its fun to watch a hot streak.

First inning/first game/first tournament of the season. Playing a team that we beat every time we played last year. DD in the circle, not getting corners and she has a complete meltdown. Gives the ump the hairy eyebrow. Walks 3 in a row, gives up a run. HC not happy and he gives her an ear full for the attitude (rightfully so, she knows better) at the end of the inning. She regained her composure and struck out 10 of the next 12 batters.

Hopefully, lesson learned.

I got a bit of a sunburn too yesterday afternoon when I was tossing for DD. It was 73 and clear. Right now, however, it is 30 degrees with light snow. No sunburn today, LOL, possibly/probably no team practice either.

The team was originally planning to have their first tournament this weekend; they decided next weekend was a safer bet. I hope we'll get two decent days then.

brag time.....after getting rocked on a game a few weeks ago in her first complete game in 12U TB, DD has pitched two more games. 0 ERA, record is 2-0, 2 total runs in 8 innings, maybe 5 walks, got the bases loaded twice and pitched out of it.

Not sure how she does it, she is on the slower side of the pitchers we see. Her CU has gotten pretty good and when she can throw it for a strike it works really well, but she looks so vulnerable speed wise. The teams were not bad either, I really can't explain how she gets sooo many weak ground balls.

One of my favorite sayings and it certainly relates to athletes also.
