Mizzou pitchers and the mask or no mask question

[slingnit]

If debate wasn't the right word, perhaps discussion is preferable.

As of right now, I'm Sweden. Does anybody want to change the subject to something less inflammatory like abortion, whether we should water board terrorists or whether Donald or Hillary would make the best president?

Hell yeah!!! No abortions, yes waterboarding, Hillary belongs in jail, Cruz is a Bush Republican therefor a puppet for the GOP, you may not like what Trump has to say but at least it is not your typical politician rhetoric and Sanders may be the only one that actually has intentions of following through with what he says, I just do not agree with any of his policies. Let the games begin!! Lol

The other day we were discussing how much a rise balls rises. I think it is only a couple inches.

So Earleywhine thinks facemasks should be mandated by the NCAA for infileders and pitchers. Yet he does not require the use by his team? Smells like BS to me.

Is it possible he'll lose out on recruits if he sticks his neck out and takes that stand? Personally, I think it's great that a college coach would come out in support of masks. You hear so much about how your girl won't be recruited if she wears a mask.

Kightsb's dd wears a mask and will be playing for a WCWS team and one of the best men's pitchers of all time. Whether or not a coach will come out and specifically support masks is yet to be seen. I do believe that talent will trump a mask every time.

The "pitching coach" for my DD's league team will hold a ball at his chest with one hand and hold his glove at about forehead height and tell the girls to aim their riseball at the ball at his chest. That way, it will jump into the glove when it rises. They have to be getting a good 6 to 8 inches of rise out of it. Its amazing.

What's even more amazing is they can do it with typical fastball spin.

Are you saying he may value the loss of a top future prospect over the welfare of his existing players?

Can we start a Barnhill thread so we can talk about riseballs, masks and crow hops all in one place?

Was more of a peer pressure issue than a rule. It's more acceptable now with girls.
