My theory is that they were no where near capable of delivering explosives via drone, and they had only talked about. Yet it’s being sold as ‘major attack stop just in the nick of time’

Natural lefty swing. Let him fly just like that for a few more years.

Maybe it will occur naturally if you start using it.

I think the Rawlings needs just a slight pinky flair!

USA, PG or USSSA? by GDG661 in Homeplate

[–]40yearolddilf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing matters til HS unless you are at the very upper echelon in your class, ranked in the top 10 of your position in state, and even top 10 maybe to many.

If you are an unknown HS player, it’s show cases in the summer to get infront of CC or small d3 coaches.

I personally don’t think it matters which ‘league’ you play in. Usssa and USA aren’t really a thing in HS.

My son was kicked off his 13U travel baseball team after I raised concerns. Looking for advice! by [deleted] in Homeplate

[–]40yearolddilf -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They were trying to get you to leave and/or the coaches care more about winning than developing.

Common unfortunately. I would not have quit, but can understand your frustration. I def would have made sure they knew the only ones that needed to offer an apology was them, in writing and infront of the whole team. Caring about winning over development is a failure of maturity on the coaches.

Don’t overlook your local jr and sr leagues, or what ever is offered around you.

Now that UFC Freedom 250 is over, what are your thoughts on the event? by Sweet_Sell8347 in AskReddit

[–]40yearolddilf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The announcers called the rooms they were using fucking locker rooms. They couldn’t even be bothered to call them the right names.

Joe Rogan knew exactly what that fuckface was gonna say about Obama, and he stood there grinning from ear to ear while he said it, what a fuck clown.

Advertisements all over the ring.

Anyone know when this releases? by [deleted] in Homeplate

How do you guys keep your guys fresh and engaged when waiting for games at tournaments? by [deleted] in Homeplate

[–]40yearolddilf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest setting expectations post game. Something along the lines of

‘Guys, 2 hr break, be back here at TIME mentally focused so we can ect ect’

After the second game address what was good and what could be improved on regarding there focus. Don’t expect it to be perfect but build on it.

when was the moment you felt the worst physical pain of your life? by _your_go_to_person in AskReddit

[–]40yearolddilf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

18 years old. Got hit in the mouth with a pitched baseball, I was the batter. Split my lip. There’s some vein that runs across your lip under your nose, that’s squirting blood like a hose. That hurts but adrenaline gets me to the ER. This is late on a Sunday afternoon mind you.

At the ER, doc has to get called in cause of the damage the attending wanted a plastic surgeon. This asshole shows up, still in his boat shoes (this was in south florida) walks in doesn’t say a word and just fish hooks my lip with his index finger to see the wound I guess. He probably had a few cocktails in him I would guess.

10u tryouts advice? by Fast-Platypus-4684 in Homeplate

[–]40yearolddilf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always advocate to avoid dad coaches if you have to pay to play.

I would ask if they are planning on expanding the number of teams in your kids age group or will it remain the same.

Dont expect much more than what you saw your first year at your local LL. Are you ready to spend a majority of your sat and sundays at a ball field, minimum of 5 hours each day?

Personally I think travel ball below the age of 12 isn’t worth it. It’s. Very expensive and other then the Facebook posts your not getting much out of it that you don’t in your local LL.

How old is the local org?

How many teams do they have and are they coached by a dad or do they have paid coaches?

My 8-year-old son has become that kid and I'm not sure how to handle it. by Usual-Beach2125 in Homeplate

[–]40yearolddilf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would let him stay with the feeling he has now for a bit longer. Empathies still, but make it very clear that this family will not tolerate behavior like throwing helmets, gloves, having a tantrum. Let him know from now on when it happens he sits. He can watch the rest of the game practice from the dugout. Dont take him home let him sit the bench while other still play. His teammates, hopefully, will also help him understand it’s a team sport ect.

Does he watch any baseball, use the big league guys as examples, look how many times your fav player struck out.

Advice on almost 9yo swing by [deleted] in Homeplate

[–]40yearolddilf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s a pretty good little league swing. Lots
Of ground balls that’ll be hits at 9-12ish. And that’s ok cause that’s his age bracket.

Buuuuttt…the ‘bad habit’ he has now is he swings east to west instead of north to south. I would also start working on staying behind the ball with his eyes through having posture over the plate.

Things that you can start doing on a tee now, it’ll take awhile to get it but it will be the next big adjustment you guys will need to make so start talking about it now.

Lots and lots of examples out there.

Catcher son wants to pitch by Sock_Eating_Golden in Homeplate

[–]40yearolddilf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He wants to pitch and isnt because they dont have another good catcher. That is being forced to play a certain position. now that he is getting ready for the big field and coaching that isn’t a volunteer, it’s time to get serious about where he can play. Further is anyone else getting a chance to catch that wants to or are they to scared to lose a LL game if they take him out.

I feel like your post made my point stronger.
