In most circumstances in a first and third situation, a kid taking second without a throw should be awarded a stolen base and it shouldn’t be scored as defensive indifference.
Sorry watching too much GC lately..

Certainly makes sense for anybody playing in Sparkler/IDT. Organizers for another big tournament at that same time cannot be happy about this development....
(Ignore the incorrect Twitter statement about a force)
State quarterfinal. Bottom 7th. Bases loaded, home team down by two with 1 out…
Next batter flys out..game over 😂
DD, 12 (will be 13 in Sept) has been complaining that her leg muscles (quads,hamstrings) are sore after tournaments for the past few months. Now she is starting to get leg muscles, rather than walking around on sticks, but to me it is strange since she is a MI. I never experienced this playing...
calculate her BA?
I was thinking about this the other day and I am pretty sure that after playing ball for 7 years my kid couldn’t do it and it made me sad 😂
To me, one of the things that separates a lot of the teams around the country from the teams here in OK is fielding mechanics, in particular IF. Watching a top team from CA (for example) take IF vs a “top” team from OK is night and day for the most part. From what I see on the field (at all...

The body of the article lists Alo but then the list below doesn't have her in it..I assume (despite her being a defensive...
This is a drill obviously but it looks the same regardless. Arm action looks ok initially but the mechanics obviously breakdown at some point. What goes on after she lets go is what is glaring but that is more than likely due to something upstream.
I know when somebody cannot throw but haven’t...
