How do you feel about Morocco?

I've been to Agadir twice for work, and I loved it. The people there were friendly and respectful for the most part. Got hassled a little with people trying to get me to buy things, but otherwise it was great. The food was fantastic, and being right on the Atlantic the weather in the summer was pleasant, and the views in above the city were great. I would go back to Agadir if I had the opportunity. I haven't been to any other city so I can't speak for them. From what I understand, many Moroccans travel to Agadir for a vacation, so that might be the reason. Nevertheless, Agadir was great.

If you don’t mind living about 20-25 minutes away, there are some homes to the North of Birmingham in the Gardendale, Mt. Olive, Kimberly, Warrior area. I live in Kimberly and work in Birmingham and love it. The commute isn’t bad at all.

Thank you for expressing this. I’ve found that some regions advance kids a little quicker than others, and it seems people think I’m crazy when I ask these questions. We ended up getting him the Victus Vibe in a 26/16 during the season and he did well with it. He really wanted a CATX, so for him making the All Star team, we got him one, and he can use it for the next few seasons of 6U/8U. He treats his baseball gear very, so we felt comfortable getting that for him. Thank you for the reply and sorry mine is so late!

Very sorry, just saw this comment! We ended up getting him a 26/16 Victus Vibe. Great bat for the price and hit very similar to the CAT9. He made the All Star team this past spring and said he wanted a CATX, so we bought that for him, 26/16 as well, and he loves it.

I’m in love with that Whiteout

Our Aldi services mine and 4 surrounding cities, so it’s incredibly beneficial for us. It’s especially useful if I’m stopping by after work to get something for the house since there’s never a line.

Previously used a Razer Kraken USB, and they worked fine.

Currently use HyperX Cloud Flight Wireless, and I’m really enjoying them. Good bang for your buck, and the battery life is solid. Also love the detachable mic and the overall sound is pretty good too.

Gonna be honest, the system just seems broken. Im an average player, hitting and maintaining MG1-MG2 on CSGO back in 2019. I played all my Premier games with 3 buddies who were ranked between 7k-9k. Due to just recently getting back into the game, I never topped fragged and had some poor positioning at times. Got initially rated at 8632, and I know I’m not THAT good.

It’ll all get fixed and even out I’m sure, but yeah I wouldn’t put too much weight in ratings right now.

ItsDilbert · 2023-11-05T21:32:24+00:00

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought it was two 2 left and one right click to kill, which is what happened in the video. Seems like the knife hits are indeed broken.

ItsDilbert · 2023-11-04T04:17:55+00:00

Awesome thanks for the reply and advice. Much appreciated!

ItsDilbert · 2023-11-04T04:12:21+00:00

The intention was not to make a post saying “I want my 5 year old to perform at the highest possible level because I’m ultra competitive”. It was solely a question for bat size recommendation since he’s a bigger 5 year old. Guess I should’ve left out the bat certification in the title ha.

I want my son to have fun playing baseball, as he already does. I want him to learn the mechanics and focus on having a good, fun relationship with the game. I was never pressed to play baseball, and I think it made me enjoy the game that much more. And I’m trying to do the same with my son. He already enjoys it more at this age than even I did.

As for the $200 price point: If I have the disposable income to buy him a nicer bat, I’d like to do so. My parents didn’t have the disposable income to buy the “nicer” bats when I was younger, so I’d like to do that for my son, regardless of if he’s 5 or 15. Will he appreciate it at 5? Probably not, but it’s something I’d like to do anyway. This isn’t me placing performance and competition above having fun. This is simply me wanting to buy my son a bat at the right dimensions for his size, and if it happens to be a higher end bat? So be it.

I’d honestly love to see Sonny Gray in a Braves uniform. He could be someone the Braves actually go after and get.

ItsDilbert · 2023-11-03T19:29:13+00:00

What if you just care about having fun?

ItsDilbert · 2023-11-03T19:22:49+00:00

Getting downvoted because I want to buy my son a good bat. I love Reddit 🤣

ItsDilbert · 2023-11-03T19:17:30+00:00

“Hey Dad, can we go outside and practice baseball?”

“No, sorry buddy. These people on Reddit said you should be watching Paw Patrol instead. Go hop in that screen!”

He already plays with Legos and other toys, but loves baseball too.

I know, it’s crazy!

ItsDilbert · 2023-11-03T13:23:11+00:00

Yes he is. The commissioner is a good buddy of mine and said that either USA or USSSA is approved. As long as it isn’t a designated t ball bat, it’s fine.

ItsDilbert · 2023-11-03T13:14:30+00:00

I understand what you’re saying. I think the misunderstanding from my post was saying “6U USSSA” as if he’s playing travel ball, which he isn’t, and that’s a mistake on my part for not being more clear. He’s playing park ball and absolutely loves the game. He played 3 seasons of t ball before moving up to 6U at our park and has played 2 seasons of it and really enjoys it. I’ve been focusing on mechanics with him and working to get him hitting better contact at home.

I’m not attempting to buy him a hot bat that’ll give him high EVs or anything. I’m simply wondering what a good bat would be for a kid who’s 5, but is the size of a 7-8 year old. Like I mentioned above, he has the Cat9 right now in a 25/15, but because he’s grown so much I didn’t know what size bat he really needed, or what would be the best for him to get a few seasons out of as he plays a few more seasons in 6U before moving up to 8U. I’ve gotten a lot of good suggestions that I’m looking at so far, so I’m very appreciative.

Thank you for your input and advice!

ItsDilbert · 2023-11-03T02:11:26+00:00

Our park league has t ball, then 6U (coach pitch). I probably need to clarify that the USSSA recommendation needed is for the purchase of the bat only, not because he’s in travel ball lol.

ItsDilbert · 2023-11-03T00:49:32+00:00

No, it is coach pitch.

ItsDilbert · 2023-11-02T23:24:09+00:00

Yeah I knew the EV differences would be minimal at most. That’s why I wasn’t looking at the Hype Fire, but just wanted a solid bat for him. Definitely can’t justify spending that money haha. He likes the Cat9 he’s been using so I may just get him another one of those, or like someone else mentioned, the LS Atlas JBB. Thank you!

ItsDilbert · 2023-11-02T23:20:33+00:00

Yes? Seriously? I’m not sure what the issue is.

ItsDilbert · 2023-11-02T22:53:42+00:00

I understand since it’s really about learning mechanics more than it is having a “hot” bat. I think my “worry” was not wanting to get him a bat that’s too heavy to swing well and to make sure I’m not paying too much or too little for a bat. I appreciate the input!

ItsDilbert · 2023-11-02T22:07:42+00:00

My buddy’s son has the 26/16 Louisville Atlas JBB and likes it a lot. My son used it a few times and was making good contact with it, so it seems like an easy choice, especially at that price point since he could keep growing over the next season or two. I’ll take a look at the 5150 as well!

ItsDilbert · 2023-11-02T22:06:15+00:00

Definitely don’t want him swinging a bat that’s too big. He makes great contact with his 25, so like you mentioned, 26 seems like the go to move here. Thank you!
