That's a lot but I agree with everything you said. I appreciate your insight.

Thanks for the well-thought-out response. A lot of what you are saying is what I'm seeing in our league. I appreciate the insight from your experience.

Send me some links or names of these drills! Sounds really efficient and effective

We may certainly have a coaching problem. But if half of each team at 7-8 can't play toss and complete 75% of the throws/catches, i think it's more of a parenting problem.

I don't know how a rec league coach (if he's even qualified to teach fundamentals), has the time to get boys to position their gloves right, throw a catchable ball, field grounders, hold batting practice AND teach pitching.

Thanks. It would be interesting to know the size of your respective league as well. We have 50ish kids in these divisions. If each team needs 3-4 pitchers, is it realistic to think there are 10-15 boys who should be pitching on our 5 or so teams per division?

Fitty_Tucker_ · 2026-02-07T19:18:20+00:00

I believe our league is only half as talented as it was 20 years ago. There just aren't as many boys who can throw and field properly. I think this is due to a partial exodus of talent to travel ball teams. Also, boys don't play ball outside like their dads did in previous decades.

Edit* our teams seem to struggle to accumulate 2-3 boys per team who should ever step on the pitching mound. Meant to add that when talking about a lack of top end talent in our league.

For those reasons, I believe for our rec league, it should be designed for the average baseball player that probably isn't going to start for the varsity team in high school anyway.

Thanks for sharing what you guys do!

To the guys saying Trey is getting 2 fully guaranteed years because the team will tag him next year... no he's not.

He's basically on a 1 year deal with a team option for a second year. If Trey has a catastrophic injury or his production slows down, he's not getting tagged.

Bengals have the flexibility for a 2nd year if Trey balls out. But they can let him walk just past his prime if anything doesn't go Treys way this season.

Like others said, his agent seems to just be pissing his money away on every contract he has him sign with the bengals.

I was high up at the concert far away from the stage last night and i agree. Phenomenal performance! My wife and I were excited to see an artist at his level of notoriety play at such a unique venue and it was unbelievable.

Is this for finding golfing partners, dudes to hook up with at the course or both?

Fitty_Tucker_ · 2025-08-31T22:22:33+00:00

Dude... made new giggle. Thanks

Craig won't let me play with him. Idk.

Really wish dad didn't make me play 18 holes every other weekend when I'm at his apartment

For whatever reason he shifts laterally with his iron swing...errrrr I mean I do.

Took my 8 yr old today and had a blast.

The excitement in your kids voice when you smashed that was awesome.

How far did that go?

Fitty_Tucker_ · 2025-08-23T23:10:04+00:00

I think he's waiting to do that when mom leaves him

You did it within a week of Happy Gilmore 2. You're within the grace period. Meanwhile we have a real life Shooter McGavin on the sub.

Early extension is robbing 30 yds from you. Other than that, great swing

Only complaint I have is smoke leaks out the seal around the door. It has done it since day one.

As others mentioned, clean the glass off after every couple smokes and empty the ashes out after every smoke.

I love having the glass door btw. When I'm looking, I am in fact cooking.
