So his parents should be charged even though they didn't violate the law? They made a poor decision - one that I wouldn't make. They didn't commit a crime and its cruel and asinine to say they should be charged with a crime after losing their child in a tragic accident.
A 6 year old girl died in the Aurora movie theater shooting. Should we charge her paralyzed mother for bringing her daughter to an R rated movie?
My "pressing charges against them" is how I feel. I do not want anyone to be charged if no laws were broken.

Doubling down eh troll? So you’re a “proud of it” piece of shit.
Why would I try to convince a proud of it piece of shit troll who blames the death of a nine year old on his parents for attending a concert with gasp, vulgar language. Seems like a waste of time to me.
Noted. I'll mark this in the win column for me.

You should get on the news and air that bullshit opinion on camera for all to see. Or file a citizens complaint with the cops.
Or you could try to stop being such a complete piece of shit.
Ha. I should try to get on the news with this commonly held belief? What a stupid opinion and emotionally-challenged response. I should file a complaint with the cops? Why? Did they violate the law? Last I checked, it is not illegal to have a different moral code than me. Either way, the cops are already involved and don't need a keyboard Karen "helping" them out.
We disagree here though I'm not sure why. Do you think the kid's parents are to be praised for taking him to this concert? Do think the dad made a great decision to take his 9 year old to a lineup that included Young Thug, SZA, Lil Baby, Drake, Travis Scott, etc.? Do you think a 9 year old should be exposed to those lyrics and the crowd that comes along with them? Do tell. Or don't.

Fuck off.
No thanks. That kid's parents suck. I'm all for pressing charges against them. Taking a 9 year old to that show? Gross.

All I have ever really tried to do here is push back on the narrative that this is some sort of slam dunk case y’all espouse for the defense. It’s not.
Get real.
That's not all you've tried to do.
Yes, the case is a slam dunk self-defense. I didn’t know this until I watched the trial. It's clear.

rSo was the evidence that Rosenbaum attempted to grab Rittenhouse's firearm? Something else/more than that?
I guess I'm struggling with the notion that it would be self-defense for Rittenhouse to shoot Rosenbaum simply because the latter attempted to grab Rittenhouse's gun. But if Rosenbaum was doing something more than that which caused Rittenhouse to reasonably be in fear for his life, then perhaps it was self-defense. I'm at a disadvantage because I haven't been watching the trial and I'm not sure of the testimony that has been elicited about that particular part of the incident.
Rosenbaum was chasing Rittenhouse, lunged for his gun while yelling, "Fuck you", etc. Several testified that Rittenhouse shot him in self-defense, not just cuz.

Indeed. Also idiotic. Taking a 9 year old to Astroworld Fest?

Clear cut self-defense.

Not LL, but we're taking our 11U select team to Gulf Shores, AL next week for a PG World Series. Our first time leaving the Houston area. Should be fun if the weather allows. Going to be tricky to manage arms and usage.

It's really a shame that the Astros can't hit now that their trash cans are gone.

My son hit one out for the first time on Sunday in intrasquad action. He's the smallest guy on his team, but only 2 others have taken it deep, and they are the 2 biggest, so he felt pretty good about it.
He's still 10, playing 11U ball. 200 ft fence.

Caden Sterns can kindly go shut up. Nobody hurt him. So what? This is simply the reverse of what athletes are told when they are recruited. Come to SCHOOL X and you'll be lined up with the network to launch a successful career in STATE X. Nobody hurt you. Cry me a river, Sterns.

Tell the haters to go away.

What a story. What a young man. I'm happy for Andrew.

My word. What a contradiction he is.
He's a terrible human being, but for about 10 years he was a world class safety.

Son is 7, lefty. I need to find him a new glove. Any recs out there? Coach pitch, he’s playing pitcher, 2nd, 1st and outfield.
My rec is to not spend more than $60. Wilson, Rawlings, whatever. He doesn't need a full on hard/heavy leather glove yet. Get him something he can handle and save your money for age 10+.

I've been lurking this thread since before Covid. My son is turning 7 in December. He played t-ball as a 5 year year old with mostly 6 year olds. He wasn't the best player on the team, but was solidly the 3rd best. I was one of the assistant coaches, and we had a great time, except for the fact that his team was just abysmally terrible (and the other teams constantly violated the rules in place that were to ensure fair competition). He's always been hyper competitive, so being the Bad News Bears was very discouraging for him, so he wanted to take some time off from playing baseball again and then Covid happened.
Putting aside the reemerging Covid situation, he really wants to start playing again, and registration for spring coach pitch is around the corner. We're in Houston zoned to both Spring Branch -- Memorial Sports Association and Spring Branch Little League. Does anyone have experiences/opinions regarding the pros/cons between the two? Part of the difference appears to be a USSSA vs USA Baseball situation, which I know nearly nothing about other than the bat spec issue.
Mack - I'm on the SBMSA Baseball Board. Come play with us. We'll have 450 kids at his level. SBALL will be lucky to have more than a few teams. If you have any questions, hit me up. I'm happy to discuss. One thing about SBMSA - sign up in the 1st week. It will fill up quickly.
