  1. I'm still pissed off at yesterday's game. Fucking shit, if you can't throw strikes you can't win ballgames, as simple as that. 

    His 2 seamer is great in terms of movement, unfortunately that movement and control bite him in the ass more often lately. His offspeed should be his get me overs. Frustrating, but hey, only 1 game into the season, I know I have more frustration coming my way!

  2. Yeah,still a topic of conversation today amongst our team but it's over, not much we can do about it yesterday after it happened, let alone today. Just try to frame it in a way the boys can understand and learn from. 

    But yeah, to start reviewing on a smart device multiple innings down the road is something I've never heard of. Oh well..

    Kids 8u AAA team has a few kids that have big problems casting and staying back. I’ve seen the rope bat stuff and I can see some value in there for preventing casting but seems expensive.

    Any recs for drills or opinions on rope bat?

    I bought it for my son probably when he was 7 years old and think it was one of the best training aids I've spent money on for him. I preach to him daily to stay inside the baseball and go up the middle/ away. He loves the feedback from the swing, and is really smooth swinging it now. To this day, he uses it in the on deck circle as he's getting ready to hit. 

    As you mentioned there are some other drills you can do to help - Google "Robinson Cano drill" for a start.

    One of my best friends from high school is an aggy.  Last night, he texted me with five 🤣 emojis after Texas lost in OT.  I just returned the favor.  His reply?  "Well at least we lasted longer than you guys."  He thinks because aggy lost a day later than the Horns did that aggy had a better run.

    You need a new best friend from high school

    Sounds like y’all are getting turbofucked, @Mez2

    Gotta love that sportsmanship with a bunch of kids…

    completely horseshit. We made too many errors but that was fucking brutal. 

    3-3 game going into the 4th inning,  or so, and the other team claims they scored another run in the first inning. We're home team, have home book and same score as ump in field and home plate.

    They call the PG director on site, comes to the field, ends up reviewing and looking at the game changer and video from the game from multiple phones/tablets. The run in question was a judgement call by the ump, PG guy ends up overturning the initial run in the 1st while we're in the 4th/5th inning, we go from tied game in 5th to down a run and no time left. We had chances to win the game and not let that come into play but I had no idea you can do video review from game changer to challenge calls.

    Thanks for avenging us, my long-time friend Travis B. and I have been texting. Would have been fun to see you. Maybe we will play up in more 10U tourneys. But y’all need to get your asses to AAA it looks like!

    You know T-Bone?

    Hes a great guy,  his son Nacho is a blast. Glad we could avenge you guys, this is first time out at BLD, pretty nice place. Ran into Shep and LilShep, too, always good to see them in person.
