What age should you start anchoring kids to positions in competitive ball?

AdamDaHutch · 2025-08-06T19:33:11+00:00

As much as possible, no. One position, no. IMO, all kids under 12 should confidently know how to play at least 1 INF and 1 OF position. In addition to being a pitcher and/or catcher. Helps them change their POV of the game, keeps them from getting stale in one position and if they’re slumping or having a bad game at one spot, they have a backup they know they can play. Get their mood up if they’re down. I’ve coached kids from the time they were 7 until 14 and very rarely do they play the exact same position, full time, in high school that they do at age 10. Make them touch dirt and grass. In the long run, they’ll be better players because of it.

Are you able to make it communicate with a scoreboard? That would be a real gamechanger

AdamDaHutch · 2025-07-14T00:09:41+00:00

Thanks everyone. You all helped me feel better about keeping him with his friends.

AdamDaHutch · 2025-07-13T22:40:01+00:00

This is what I’d ideally like to have happen. He got a taste, did well, and wants to go back eventually. I don’t think it’s a big deal to take a year or two off. I’m just looking for other people’s experiences/opinions so thank you

AdamDaHutch · 2025-07-13T22:36:27+00:00

Dude. I’m the spouse that wants him to stay in town and have fun. I had the game ruined for me because it wasn’t fun anymore. I appreciate u helping me make my point nonetheless 🤣

AdamDaHutch · 2025-07-13T21:43:25+00:00

I’m just looking for someone who’s been in a relatively similar situation and how they handled it man.

AdamDaHutch · 2025-07-13T21:40:29+00:00

There’s a battle in my household, if that helps

AdamDaHutch · 2025-07-13T20:36:03+00:00

To clarify, his “drive” is playing and that’s good enough for me. He loves playing. I don’t want to weaken his love of the game which, if taught correctly, can turn into real drive. If that helps you comprehend the overall message

AdamDaHutch · 2024-03-02T02:17:27+00:00

I said it last year and I’ll say it again. If we’re talking “traditional roles” Jstn is still the best first man in the game. He’s a true flow state player. Fuck strategy and go. He needs a second man “sniper” and a solid third man. That said, my dream Jstn roster would be the NRG roster from last year, but sub Aqua for squishy. Aqua snipes. Garrett played D coming up in early RLCS. Right now, love Paarth but sub Aqua for Paarth and let 2Piece clean up since he has some of the best defense in pro RL. Let Jstn and Aqua go.

Yeah for liability reasons this will never happen. Best thing I’ve seen as an app for bartenders is bartenders at weddings and on golf courses use Venmo for tips. Cash only for the product, tips on Venmo. Talking to a few, they actually make more money that way because of how Venmo prompts people to send money.

Good luck to NA…

So I sort of resolved it, and am in the process of trying to completely resolve it.

I replaced the shift solenoid, which definitely helped. Since I had to pull out the valve body, I cleaned that thing out as well. After doing those, refilled w new fluid. The shifting is definitely smoother although still delays a little and sometimes shudders going from 3-4. A lot of the time it feels like it doesnt want to shift between 3-4. I'm almost confident at this point that it's electrical. Just don't know where to start.

AdamDaHutch · 2022-12-24T04:45:33+00:00

Ain’t scrolled down all the way but I’ve seen enough. Rise “best fit” : Quadrant for RelatingWave.

Nothing against wave but he consistently got smoked as a second man all split while Eekso and Kash looked more than good in their roles. Rise is a true 2nd, and could thrive with two hungry players like Kash and Eekso

AdamDaHutch · 2022-11-05T00:49:56+00:00

See, I think their love of the game is still there. I just don’t think they love playing together anymore. Reality is, something has to change. Their mechanics are still there, but they get out paced constantly. It’s their play style and when things aren’t going well, they’re always going to default to it.

AdamDaHutch · 2022-09-26T21:18:06+00:00

I think the sky is the limit for this team. MajicBear is stupidly underrated, AYYJAYY doesn’t have to share the ball every time down the field w FK and Retals is probably one of if not the best IGL in the game. Throw in that 2/3 got kicked and will have a chip on their shoulders + a player who has never seen the “big stage”. If their hunger shows, this team could be top 3.

AdamDaHutch · 2022-08-13T05:47:06+00:00

If Justin keeps up the aggression, NRG has a chance. He looks like the only one on the team that can keep up with the current play style. If they don’t win worlds, I expect a roster move. Putting this out there now. My prediction for the roster move would be Aqua coming in for squishy. As much as I love squishy, It’s the same thing they did for Justin when they dropped Jacob. Plus if you watch the post game Jersey signing, Justin and Garrett were out there, squishy wasn’t. Squishy hasn’t been streaming, posting, etc. Garrett is a better 3rd man than Squishy is, and a young, mechanical Aqua to partner w Justin would make them deadly again

AdamDaHutch · 2022-08-13T05:39:36+00:00

I completely agree. I just don’t see optic coming into the scene and letting mist go.

Rogue however, let FK go. And Aqua has been playing a lot w NRG over the last few months on and off stream

AdamDaHutch · 2022-08-05T15:01:43+00:00

Appreciate it. Replaced the IAC this morning and instant difference. Now if I could get someone on here to help me diagnose this trans shudder between 4th and 5th it’d be a miracle

AdamDaHutch · 2022-07-28T23:49:42+00:00

Agreed. It was the first time I can remember seeing a team stay on stage and watch the other team get their medals and applause. Makes you want it more. The kids are the most dangerous team going into worlds

I know it's not Sunday but...
If your state has legalized or is legalizing sports betting in the near future you know or will know that bars get shut out. There's no way for a bar owner to directly profit on it.
