    Greg Maddux on 0-2 “Waste Pitches”

    I agree.

    Walk up Speaker

    Make sure your music is a mix of what the kids like and what the adults like. Keep it CLEAN as far as your game music and walk ups are concerned. If there's any doubt about a lyric, Google it. Have a "Jeopardy" think music on hand in case there are any visits to the circle by the opposing...

    Advice Needed - college freshmen - when to worry?

    I agree, Patar!

    Runner hit by batted ball

    Runner gets first, ball is dead, runners advance one base; credit batter with base hit and give the putout (unassisted) to the closest defensive player.

    Olympics 2021

    There should have been a separate field for softball. Granted, USA played quite well and even though they lost, it was great to see softball back. Not sure if it will be on the docket in Paris in 24 but remember, LA's got the 28 games.

    How many players are too many?

    If you have one or two good pitchers, then there's no problem. I would teach the other 2 another position so that they are still part of the team.

    How many players are too many?

    Just.... not to be picky. The area where a pitcher in softball stands is not a mound, it's a circle.

    Scoring Disasters: The Flaws of Letting Unknowing Parents Keep Book

    I'm the official scorer and stats person at the high school I help out at. We don't have that problem at our place. We have one of the assistant coaches do Game Change and actually trained one of the parents to do Game Changer as well as the paper book so if I am away for any reason, they know...

    Anyone witness any "Hissy Quits" this summer?

    Can't say I have.

    Is this acceptable?

    No. But is it somewhat funny.

    Best Score Keeping Tool

    We use book and Game Changer. I also do the stats for our team on Max Preps, so my stats are the official ones (unless the coaches want to make a change)

    if you're not going to swing at strikes...

    Sometimes that first pitch is going to be the best pitch they'll see, so if it's a strike.... SWING!

    Thoughts please not judgements

    Suspend for the next three games and make an example of her. Actions do have consequences.

    Terrible human being

    This AGREED! This "man" has no business or right to coach softball or be around minors! I would have reported him to whoever was in charge of that tournament. NO child should have ever heard that. You're right. He should be BANNED and if needed arrested.

    Using eyeblack versus sunglasses under catcher's mask

    Go with the sunglasses.

    The death of JV Softball???

    I'd keep her as a pitcher but DP for her every game (make her the flex).

    H.S. Parent Follows Ump into Parking Lot

    First, talk to your AD about what happened. There should be a police or campus security person escorting them to the field prior to the game and back to their cars afterward. The only four people that have ANY contact with the umpires before the game are our head coach, the asst. coach, the AD...

    What does your HS provide?

    We provide game jerseys, socks, pants, belts and practice gear. Because we're in Georgia and we play in the latter part of Summer and Fall, we don't do windbreakers because we play in heat and humidity. They're also supplied with their own equipment bag that they have to turn in (along with the...

    I agree. Cannonball, you just worry about getting well.

    The death of JV Softball???

    We have the same problem at the school I help out with. We haven't had a JV team in about 5 years and we usually get new players from those 8th graders that have graduated from our middle school; plus, our middle school is just now playing their season this Spring (being in Georgia, we play in...
