    ***RTIC Jug - Half Gallon Member Giveaway***

    In Let's win! BTW - we have a couple RTIC sports cups and they have been awesome for at least the last 5/6 yrs now!

    Sorry ... the WORST game I have ever seen. EVER.

    As the mental guys say..."there is no losing. It's learning." Winning and Learning.

    Beware What You Believe on Social Media

    Absolutely be aware that most orgs and certifying powers do not have the ability or resources (interest?) to monitor what their "members" are actually doing out there. You & I have communicated previously regarding a self-proclaimed Coach touting her NFCA credentials while treating players...

    Continuing Education - Umpire Evaluation

    You're right I did not completely catch the sarcasm (and I should recognize it when I see it).

    Two calls from last night:

    Because softball is more fun than high school math? ;-)

    Continuing Education - Umpire Evaluation

    Yeah, yeah, we get it...don't question the ump regardless of bad they are or how it appears. Honestly, Youngbuck posed this question in a very fair and reasonable manner and it deserves a decent response. Maybe you truly believe that they should not be held to any standard or evaluated in any...

    College Pitching Question?

    I'd say it's 5-6 also, the team is short on pitchers so the luxury of not throwing BP is not available. She's also throwing a lot of complete games when it's probably not the best approach. It's a bunch and DD is very much a workhouse, she's not the type to say no even though there are...

    NAIA ruling on Transgender athletes

    The NAIA ruling is a step in the right direction, the NCAA needs to grow a set and get back to common sense instead of pandering to a very small minority (much like society in general). We should not be afraid to apply common sense to these situations...life isn't fair, never has been and never...

    DEFENSE

    I certainly understand where that question comes from at times, it can be shocking to watch in some games but I don't believe (ok, I don't want to believe) it's that way all the time on those teams.

    Improving consistency

    It's not just different umpires with different zones, it's all too frequent that an ump will significantly change the strike zone during a game. Pitchers (and hitters) spend the first 2-3 innings figuring out what they're gonna call and then boom...not gonna get that call anymore. I'm talking...

    Improving consistency

    That's solid advice and should be heeded. When my DD's were here at home we were able to watch a lot more high level college softball than their schedule allows in college. It's important to not only watch the great plays/hits/pitching but also to see the failures/errors...it keeps it real for...

    Improving consistency

    I'm curious as to what her PC tells her in regards to this?

    D3 pitching speed

    They were in our Regionals last year, never faced her but watched a couple games. Probably mistaken but figured she'd be worn out by the time we got to play against her.

    Guess I'll start an off-topic thread?

    Congrats AD and family!!!
