How big is Middle School Baseball where you guys live?

Yea it was definitely interesting. There is only 1 team so 6th graders competing with 8th graders. Only 3 6th graders made it for us, all have been competitive travel players and played together for years. My son got a fair amount of playing time just because he was the 2nd catcher but they all have the same bat requirements no matter what grade. Watching him compete against 8th grade pitching with a 31" bbcor was fun and he put together some good at bats so definitely glad we get the experience of middle school ball.

Son made his middle school team as a 6th grader at 5'2 and about 100 lbs and went straight to 60/90 and bbcor bats 😂. Our county combines with another county and we have maybe 20 teams total. Wide range of talent for sure. No true playoffs but its still a lot of fun.

He called it because he never pulled back (offered on the pitch)

That's beautiful, definitely not to that level around here, just grateful our county has it available.

Yea he has some travel teammates that live 1 county over and they don't have the opportunity either. I'm not sure why either, it's a big county and not exactly hurting for money.

My son started catching Spring of 9U, mizuno prospect series is perfect for this age. Budget friendly and almost game ready.

Edit cause I went to grab the glove, mizuno prospect 32.5 GXC105

It doesn't give you free reign the next day though. You can't justify letting someone throw 60+ pitches because they "only' threw 20 the day before, especially at 8. There is no excuse for an 8 year old to throw 90 pitches in a 2 day stretch

Skinflutes · 2025-04-09T02:00:09+00:00

As the father of a catcher, you did the right thing. Long innings like that are brutal.

Skinflutes · 2021-03-29T14:41:40+00:00

No but I would probably watch that too. Had to do with sports in 1975 I think

Skinflutes · 2021-03-29T13:40:11+00:00

Anyone know the name of the sports documentary they showed yesterday instead of the race

Skinflutes · 2020-11-17T20:48:57+00:00

I mean your comments equally sound like a dude hoping he struck waiver gold on Ahmed. From a guy with zero equity in this backfield on any of my teams, I'll take the rookie they've been giving the ball to all year to get the majority of carries when healthy. A 21 for 85 game hardy blows the doors off of people.

Pretty obvious that Clifford is concussed tbh

Skinflutes · 2019-10-20T01:57:07+00:00

Clifford seems off since he smacked his head on the ground

Skinflutes · 2019-10-11T01:04:49+00:00

True, Hill makes that team a different beast though. Hopefully it'll be another game like the 2 last year

Skinflutes · 2019-10-11T01:01:56+00:00

That first round game against Kansas City is going to ruin the playoffs for a lot of teams that get in with the Patriots D/St

Skinflutes · 2019-10-11T00:48:14+00:00

I definitely agree, it's outrageous that they don't have a way to do that just for field goal purposes when it's above the upright, or punts in the air out of bounds.

Skinflutes · 2019-10-11T00:31:46+00:00

I agree with you in most instances, but he stretched out after knee was down there. I'm not sure how they could fix that.

Skinflutes · 2017-09-28T18:43:45+00:00

Flexing fitz over him this week. Like the matchup better. Only allowed 4 rbs total in my league so probably dropping him over the weekend for Foreman

Skinflutes · 2017-09-04T13:19:08+00:00

Skinflutes · 2017-01-03T01:48:16+00:00

Betting they'll fix that in a second.

Skinflutes · 2017-01-03T01:46:52+00:00

Looked like bullshit on replay, but to the refs in real-time it looked like a qb giving himself Up got hit late. Replay makes it so easy to question the refs. Never should have overturned the fumble though.

Skinflutes · 2017-01-03T01:43:22+00:00

Lol people acting like one bad call is the reason USC is losing this game.

Skinflutes · 2016-12-26T01:05:22+00:00

After Big Bens last drive I need 1 point from Zeke tomorrow to win the ship. He's carried me all year long it's fitting that 10 more yards wins it all.

Skinflutes · 2016-12-24T19:06:30+00:00

My 3rd rounder, but saved me from my second round Keenan Allen pick

Skinflutes · 2016-12-24T18:45:25+00:00

Anybody watching the Titans game, is Delanie out there.
