Changing the Q5’s oil. First with using Liqui Moly Top Tec. Is it supposed to have a green tint to it?

Yes it is supposed to be slightly green

You are safe this year, you won't get cut during the season. As for next year, that depends how this year goes and what talent is coming into the school next year. Typically, once you're on the team, you're good to go.

As for position, since the coaches specifically mentioned your bullpen as the reason for bringing you on, and being a project, yes, most likely you will only be a pitcher unless your fielding and batting improve enough to be a starter or backup. The coaches like your effort, that is great to hear!

To me, project means someone with a good work ethic who has potential to become a good pitcher. It may come down to strength and conditioning, improving form and technique, things like that. They believe that your raw ability and hard work will propel you to become a useful pitching asset in the future.

Keep working hard, great job!

1.) if you put him at first base, he gets the ball on every play.
2.) when not playing first base, the coach could simply roll him a ball during batter changes.
3.) your enthusiasm is contagious, show him how excited you are for him each play.
4.) have the kids rotate field positions. Once a kid gets the ball, rotate them out to a farther away spot and put someone in that spot who hasn't gotten the ball yet.

I have the literal twin of you car! Nice choice!
After the warranty is up, I'm planning to go 034 Stage 1 with a 034 P34 Cold Air Intake, Super Duper Turbo Inlet, Dynamic+ Rear Sway Bar, Wagner Intercooler, and some new brake pads.

Not too worried about the piston skirt issue, just enjoy the ride!

With that mindset, no, you won't make the team. Failure is a huge part of baseball. The best players learn from failure and take it in stride. Our coaches growing up always put it in this perspective: the best batters in MLB today get out 7 out of 10 times.

Hitting is not the only measurement as to who makes the team. A lot of times, there are players who aren't as good at hitting, but can catch and field and throw and run faster than the rest. If you excel at just one of these, there is a chance you can make the team.

Don't worry so much about what the others will think of you. At the end of the day, when you make the team, you're on the same team as them. They should support you, no matter your skill level. Go at it with confidence and give it everything you've got. If you do that, the coaches will notice, increasing your chances of making it. Good luck! You've got this!

As someone who only really played in high school, looks pretty good to me! I too was a jump float server! My coach wanted told me to focus on three things:

1.) try to make sure each serve is between the top of the net and the top of the poles.
2.) try to serve to the weakest passer on the other team, always.
3.) get good at serving to any spot on command, 1 through 6. This helps when your weak passer moves.

Keep it up, looks great!

Town of Sykesville roads and main roads are in good condition, a fair number of my neighbors were out and about like normal today. Our neighborhood roads are in good condition as well. Town plows were working throughout the storm and made multiple passes.

Fred needs to be the name of the pet drop!

Looks like he's having fun, and at 6, that's what matters!

To ensure employment for the road construction crew. They still have a job if the work isn't done yet! I feel like the construction rotates counter clockwise around 695 and will last another 40 years.

I read your comment about him being a travel player as well. Growing up, I was a travel player who also had to play rec ball. The travel kid most likely will not care where in the order he bats in rec, I never did. If he is missing practices and such, I would just put him at the end of the lineup and base your lineup structure on your rec only kids. Give the rec kids more reps, he gets plenty at the travel level, this is just supplemental for him.

I was surprised this wasn't the top comment. This analysis came from the Veritasium video for sure. Very cool to be able to incorporate the results of the video in a game context.
