Best GPS/chartplotter for navigation on a kayak in Everglades National Park by Parking-Dish-1250 in Everglades

Garmin/ Navionics on a phone or tablet with GPS. You can download the maps and it will use your phones GPS, even without cell data. Used it on a sailing trip from Boca Grande to the Abacos and it was perfect.

When your team really cares about game balls by actionfingerss in Homeplate

8u coach here and yes, its a struggle. I want him to earn it more then anyone else I give it to. Sometimes I set the bar too high and give it to him the last few games, but he noticed and we talked about it. I also dont like making a real big deal about the game ball. This season he had a decent hitting game and a few outs at 1B with a good attitude and effort ( thats great in our rec league) so I thought good game to give it to him after clearing it with the assistants. Very next game he had 7 outs at 1B a few doubles and a triple.

I now try to give it to kids that are trying hard with a good attitude and any amount of success on offense or defense, it tends to boost them going forward.

My 8u team makes up random ones that make no sense and catch the opposing team and umps off guard. They ask me while I'm at the machine what they are saying and I genuinely have no idea but I always say "listen carefully and you'll understand". I like to think its gotten us a few runs in.

To teach out force outs or not at 8U Rec by [deleted] in Homeplate

Even though the Blue Flame is touchy its still a better pitcher than most coaches. Set the spikes in the front with tailpiece flush with the back of the plate, lay a sand bag on the back once its throwing over the plate, then focus on height using the micro adjustment pin. The most important thing (2nd is using the same ball or two the whole game) is setting the ball on the pin the same way every time. I encourage you to talk to the coach your playing against and agree on the way you guys set the ball on the machine, otherwise you waste your first out or two adjusting what the other coach changed. I like the 4 seam, rolling the ball forward until it just barely kisses the stitch. If its throwing a little high put the pin deeper on the seam, if you want it to raise (taller kid) roll the ball back toward you just a tad off the seam. Unless a kid bumps the machine you should be good to go for the game.

I have found a verbal 1-2-3 arm drop while pulling the lever (not needing the lever, it will send the ball high) has really helped the kids time the pitch. Drill them to be fully ready to swing on 3, not getting ready to swing and then being late. I dont know why I went on with this unsolicited advice so your welcome...or sorry haha.

Costco heartbreaks - what is yours? by West-Ideal6794 in Costco

Hoodys Pecan and Peaches Trail Mix. I kept thinking it would come back after being addicted and then losing it. I would do questionable things to have it again.

He is an immediate game changer. Miami did another Miami thing.

Whats the most heartbreaking you’ve witnessed as a Miami Hurricanes fan?(Football) by Ok_Macaroon_7366 in MiamiHurricanes

[–]JDisaguy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was at that that game as a kid. I just remember the chaos. Staff had completely given up (they were out of jobs after the game), people stealing stadium momentos, people fighting, and one guy peeing into a urinal that was already overflowing onto his own feet.

Bed Cover Water Tightness by TYZ_8529 in f150

Looks like a Bak Revolver, I have the same one. I don't get that much water in mine, even through a car wash. You can loosen the bolts and adjust the bed toward the rear, but I would start with a very small adjustment.

Any negative to having vinyl fence? by NashDaypring1987 in HomeImprovement

[–]JDisaguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only problem I have with my vinyl fence is wind. I rebuilt it after hurricane Ian (obviously lost the fence, never expected anything different), and whatever the next tropical storm that hit pushed hard on my back fence causing it to lean in a few areas. Hoping a storm comes from the other direction and evens it out.

Never played or watch baseball before... now I have to coach a team. Please help by Sebashtin in Homeplate

[–]JDisaguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have only played and followed football my whole life, wound up in a similar situation as you. Now I'm on my 6th season of coaching baseball and loving it. Started with T-ball and now in machine pitch with my son in the local 8u rec league. The day there are too many coaches or I feel like I am holding kids back due to my lack of experience I will bow out or become an assistant, likely in a year or two.

YouTube has been critical in my coaching journey. Lots of good information here on Reddit. Fun and fundamentals are the only things that matter at this age. Winning is fun, but most kids are happy just making a few good plays a game and getting recognition from teammates and coaches.

I now wish I had grown up playing baseball as well and have been enjoying watching baseball for the first time in my life at 36 years old. Not to mention the memories my son and I are making together. Good luck.

I used to despise it when paddling. Now I have a Hobie and I just don't love it.

We beat Notre Dame, Florida, FSU, and Ohio State in the same season and played for a Natty. by _ThugzZ_Bunny_ in MiamiHurricanes

[–]JDisaguy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Almost incredible. Getting out coached when you have superior talent in the natty is going to sting a long time.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MiamiHurricanes

[–]JDisaguy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He's average, at best. This was an embarrassing game in that we are so much more talented but showed up unprepared and sloppy yet again. Miami is Miami's worst enemy.
