    Clip from Fighting Softball Parents

    No arrests were made? That is sad. Look like some real DB dads, and moms. I have seen a couple pretty good altercations, both started by moms and finished by dads, real classy

    The dreaded "F" word

    I absolutely hate fundraising, if you can't pay for your own kid to play then don't, It should never be forced upon parents. Our team has some cheap parents who love to do fundraisers and unfortunately pressure everyone into doing it. Most of my close friends and I have an agreement not to hit...

    Does she throw a "heavy" ball?

    My daughter will throw sometimes and it feels like she threw the heavy ball she does drills with, I always thought it was just me.

    TB - Not sure it is for us

    My thoughts exactly. The whole family has to love it or it will be a pain in the butt. We have a lot of long drives and overnights. I feel that most dads only get so many years of good daddy/daughter time. Girls go off and get married and find a new man to do stuff with and for them (totally...

    Success with Barnhill “style”

    I find it interesting that girls can change pitching coaches and styles completely be successful but people treat Barnhill almost like she is a victim and it is too late for her to learn proper mechanics. Also when talking about a 3-5 mph difference between when cheating and when not is...

    My rec league player is on our opponents tournament team...

    This, if a kid is playing A or even B level tb they should not be playing rec at all unless they are playing way up in age maybe.

    Are Axe Bats just hype?

    I agree, I try to provide whatever she thinks she works.

    Demarini Warranty - Always a Voucher?

    Cmon Core, no one in sp softball would do anything underhanded or shady, that sport is full of integrity. LOL

    Demarini Warranty - Always a Voucher?

    Not long at all, maybe a week. I was surprised, it used to take forever when I would return slow pitch bats.

    Questions on Starting a New 12u TB Team

    Sometimes when I read your posts I read them as if Doc Holiday was saying it, this is one of those times. lol

    Are Axe Bats just hype?

    Core, didnt Mattingly put out a slow pitch bat that had a weird handle that made you grip it a certain way? i know they had them in slow pitch not sure about fp

    Are Axe Bats just hype?

    I have never bought one but a girl on our team (her dad buys every gimmick that comes out) got one last year. It is like hitting a log. She used it in one game with not so great results. I use it to hit popups and infield just so it gets some use and hopefully will break in. I watch quite a...

    Japanese Pitching - New material

    That is pretty cool, I wish I knew what they were saying

    Young pitcher with a catcher who can't catch her

    I will retract my statement as really I have no idea how much they work and how much they don't and that is true for all positions. It "seems" a lot of them work on blocking and throwing to second but really don't do a lot of the little things like setting up or framing etc. that make a really...

    Retired batter interference?

    In the video the runner dives back into 1st base, that is one "play". She then gets up and runs to second, that is the 2nd "play". He does not call her out until after she is up and running. This is why ask what the umpire said the interference is on, the question is really for the OP only...

    Motor City Showdown

    I live in Michigan and have seen nothing in anyway that would suggest your team would be treated any differently than any other team. You are much more likely to be treated differently being from OHIO than you are Canada.

    Retired batter interference?

    LOL, thanks for the philosophy lesson Plato. I asked a question whether he called interference on the initial play or on the 2nd play as he doesn't call the out until after the first play is over (using the video as this is the info "in front of me"). This may be reading into it too much for...

    Playing Down for All Stars

    I don't know how you have time to do both TB and Rec or why you would want to. Maybe she should move up to a higher level of TB and play good competition all the time? Maybe your area has better rec ball than mine. Our 11u girls would destroy the 14u all stars in our area so I would hate to...

    Retired batter interference?

    Was the interference called on the play back to first or the play on the runner advancing to 2nd? If he called it because she interfered on a defender being able to make a play on the runner advancing to second I can see it. The batter un-intentionally does knock the ball down preventing it...

    Perils of TB

    I am not saying you are wrong at all, I have another perspective. I hear people say similar things at 10 and 12u, "my daughter will never be as good as that girl". I think you can also sell your kid short. I know plenty of baseball players that I played with in 8th grade that were "can't miss...
