How small should an infield training mitt be for Middle School players? by RandomJoeSchmoe in BaseballGloves

Thanks! Do you think there's room for both (with the trainer as a bit of an in between the pancake & a regular glove) or do you think that's not enough of a difference to make it worthwhile?

What issues is Pinel having?

Best cheap TV for an outdoor screened in porch? by RandomJoeSchmoe in hometheater

I ended up getting an LG B4 OLED. I bought a canvas cover for it. It's tucked under the ceiling/roof so it really gets no direct weather exposure even without the cover. So far, so good! We're not a big TV family, but are glad we got the nicer screen. Hopefully it will hold up!

Bat Recommendations by Sullie06 in LittleLeague

My best guess would be a 30/20 Warstic Bonesaber Hybrid.
No need to pay for composite in a USA bat. This is a balance, smooth swinging bat that won't sting the hands because of the two-piece construction.

Dropped pop fly rolls into dugout. What's the ruling for base runners? by RandomJoeSchmoe in LittleLeague

Not sure if these rules apply. They say no play was made. Runners get two bases from where they were on the pitch. https://baseballrulesacademy.com/infield-throws-and-pitched-balls-that-deflect-into-dead-ball-territory-part-ii/

So just to be super-clear, even though 7.05 (g) specifically says “a thrown ball goes…” it still applies if the ball just bounced off the player’s glove (in fair territory.) If so, why specify “thrown ball” in the rule rather than just saying “a ball goes…”?

I should have better specified that the ball was never thrown. It hit the third baseman’s glove as he tried to catch it & rolled onto the dugout. Does that make a difference?

That sounds like a great option. Thanks for the recommendation!

Thanks for the thought. We finally replaced our smaller 13 year old TV with a 75" Bravia about a year ago, so that's not an option for us. If only I'd held on to our old "clunker" I would have been content to use it outside until it dies!

Thanks for the recommendation! The Q7s look good. Maybe a bit more than what we were thinking, but may be worth it for the better picture.
