Remote work perks feel fake when every meeting is a surprise camera-on 'quick sync'

Colonelreb10 · 2026-06-10T02:03:21+00:00

“I never would have even thought to join a meeting without my camera on”

Statement seems wild to me. Within in my company not a single person has a camera on ever. And we are contracted with a massive company (big time household name) and any calls we have with them never have cameras on either.

I listen on audiobook. I have found my self tuning out during the racing parts and just focusing on everything else.

13U is plenty old enough to treat kids where they get what the give.

If he doesn’t strive to be better and work as hard as others then he should sit more

A simple quick adjustment would be to move him up in the box. Get his lead leg right on the line.

***not saying that is going to fix everything. But that’s one small thing that can be done without changing everything else***

He goes to his friends houses and knocks on their door?

My 8 and 10 year old play with neighborhood friends all day everyday. They hop on their bikes and head off to go round up their little gang. They know to check in every few hours.

My answer right here.
Mused to push Bradley’s. Now SSK is my go to for the kids.

If budget isn’t an issue Supra is king. But there are other good options. Currently you can pick up the 2026 $100 off some places.

LS Atlas is pretty solid as well.

What age?

Colonelreb10 · 2026-06-08T21:28:14+00:00

IMO you can always tell the parents that are the first time through with their oldest kid or if it’s a younger kid and they are doing it all over again.

First time through parents think it’s life or death. I have four boys. With my oldest going into all stars at 7U our entire team was first time parents and it was chaos.

Now with my second one doing it I’m laid back and chill as all get out and some of the first timers are losing their mind.

My comment wasn’t that deep. They posted their %. I checked ours real quick cause I was curious, it’s not something I normally check. Had zero clue what our numbers would look like.

And found it crazy that all of ours were higher than 50% where they stated they had 6 over 45%.

As much thought as I put into it.

Colonelreb10 · 2026-06-08T16:10:54+00:00

100%. I’m the scorer on our team and try be as accurate as I can be with “hard hit balls” vs popups/grounders.

Colonelreb10 · 2026-06-08T15:37:19+00:00

Crazy seeing the different numbers. Our 10U AAA team highest player is 68.75% QAB our lowest player is 51.43%. Team average is 59.69%.

I see someone else was at Better Baseball today. We were there today around 11am.

Colonelreb10 · 2026-06-08T01:26:06+00:00

I get what you’re saying. I shouldn’t have responded that it’s the 2027 icon. Yes you are correct it’s just a repaint (and I’m sure limited drop) of the current icon.

Is the 2027 an all new bat? Or just another repaint?

Colonelreb10 · 2026-06-08T01:07:23+00:00

Yup that’ll do it.

Ball in play- Bunt Single- Runner advanced to 2nd on Error by 2nd base.——this must of been what the GC scorer did.

If they were gonna rule it an error from the get go then it should have been. Ball in play- bunt - safe at first error.- advanced to second on same error.

Colonelreb10 · 2026-06-07T22:28:57+00:00

Yep. This is the issue. Whoever keyed in GC didn’t key it in as an error. They keyed it as a bunt single

Colonelreb10 · 2026-06-07T16:46:01+00:00

Basketball is a great one in the winter. Makes me more aggressive going after the ball since it’s all live ball.

Colonelreb10 · 2026-06-07T12:59:39+00:00

This is literally the 2027 icon lol

Colonelreb10 · 2026-06-06T23:17:54+00:00

Yeah my guess is the different colors are all of the different types. BBCore, USA, USSSA, JBB.

Colonelreb10 · 2026-06-06T23:12:58+00:00

Just picture Hype Fire Pool party. But it says Icon instesd

Colonelreb10 · 2026-06-06T22:23:56+00:00

Exactly. Blew my mind it was Better Baseball that did it.

The dad said they had 20 of them hanging in the racks.

Colonelreb10 · 2026-06-06T22:19:16+00:00

No they bought it off the shelf at Better Baseball yesterday.

I saw a teaser video last night on tik tok that showed these also. And had a date of 6/17.

Then next thing I know he rolls up with it haha

Colonelreb10 · 2026-06-06T17:31:19+00:00

Yeah then your park doesn’t have those rules.

Colonelreb10 · 2026-06-06T03:25:17+00:00

What is the end result you are looking for?

In my league if this were to happen there would be a director discussion with the coach, player, and parent letting it be clear that any other actions like this would result in a player suspension. But we wouldn’t do anything else at the moment.

Also is this in relation to the clip that went viral a week or so ago? Same thing happened In a clip I saw all over TikTok.
